Vista Tutorial - Parental Controls

My daughter has an account on my computer and I was looking through the
parental controls, making sure she wasn't going on anything innappropriate
and I saw she'd gotten onto Myspace. Well, I clicked on teh like and it said,
'Invalid Request user id is invalid.' Can someone tell me what that means and
how to go around it so I can see my my daughter was on?

Thanks for all your help,
Ash

Hi Ash,

Apologies, but the text from my previous post didn't appear. Here it is.

From your post, I assume that you have 'Parental Controls' activated. If you
have, then it is fairly easy to prevent your daughter from accessing this
site, and indeed others which you deem to be unsuitable. To do this, open
'Parental Controls' by clicking the start orb, typing 'parental controls' in
the search box and pressing enter. Note that you will need to provide
administrative credentials. Next, click on the account that you want to
change, in this case, your daughter's. Ensure that the radio button next to
'On, enforce current settings' is checked. Under the 'Windows Settings'
section, click on 'Windows Vista Web Filter'. By default, the only options
checked on this page are 'Block some websites or content' and a web
restriction level of 'Medium'. Leave all settings as they are. What you need
to do is to click on 'To control access to specific websites, add the website
to the Allow and block list'. In the 'Website address' box, type in the
address of the site that you want blocking, in your case
'http://www.myspace.com' and then click the 'Block' tab. The name of the
website will then appear under 'Blocked websites:'. Should you need to remove
the site from this list then highlight it and click 'Remove'. If you want
tighter control, then enter website addresses of sites that you want to ALLOW
your daughter to visit and click on 'Allow'. If you then check the box next
to 'Only Allow websites which are on the allow list' then your daughter will
only be able to visit sites that you have deemed suitable. Please note that
you should ensure that your daughter has no access to your account as if she
has she can remove any restrictions that you have applied. If in doubt,
change your password.
