| Guest | Admin but not Admin I'm curious, is there a way on this good planet to get FULL access to MY COMPUTER? I am attempting to manually clean-up some drivers in the System32, getting the notorious nvldkmmkm has stopped working error.. or whatever... and I don't have access! I try to unclick the read-only box but it still tells me I don't have access or it just won't stick! (the check-mark in the box is gray, but it lets me unclick it... but it still wont stick) I am on my Administrator account, the only account on this computer. It is ridiculous that I just don't have access to my own Vista which I paid 400 bucks for. How do I give myself (the Administrator) permission to be the Administrator under my Adminstrator account so I can troubleshoot this damn Vista related driver error? |

| Guest | RE: Admin but not Admin Hi John, In Vista, there are actually 2 administrator accounts. One of these is the account that you set up when you install Vista, the other is a built-in account which is disabled by default. I refer you to my post 'Activating the built-in main Administrator Account' also in this newsgroup (dated 10/12/2007). The driver you mention is actually part of the Nvdidia graphics driver. These are in constant development, so a newer driver might be able to fix your problem. I currently use the latest WHQL driver, version 169.25, and have had no problems with it whatsoever. Links to my post and the relevant Nvidia websites are given below.
