| | Cannot do system restore After the latest windows update, I could not log on to the Vista anymore as admin user. A standard user logon is ok. I pressed F8 while the system restore in order to restore the system. But when I tried to select "Repair Your PC", the windows started, instead of allowing me to select system restore option. Please help. |

| | Re: Cannot do system restore Hi, before you go to the drastic measure of re-installing you OS, try one last thing. 1. logon to the user account. 2. open Control Panel , choose Add or Remove User Accounts . You will be asked to enter Adm. password , and assuwing your password is still valid. IF IT IS VALID, you are almost home free. 3. click the user account 4. find CHANGE ACCOUNT TYPE , click that and change that acct. into ADM ACCT. 5. NOW you can do your system restore back-date it ,etc etc. Once you have your own ADM. acct. back, don't forget to revert the other adm. back to standard acct.
