    Even the hidden admin account won't work

    I had my VIsta Home Premium system freeze on me about a week ago so I
    had no choice but to switch off to reboot.

    So far so good, everything seemed fine. Then I got some very
    unexpected results from a piece of trading software and have
    discovered that:

    a) I can't access User Account Control and many other admin tasks

    b) activating the hidden admin account hasn't helped - I am still
    denied access to many admin tasks even using that user id - most
    importantly I can't access user account controls!

    Most programs work correctly but if there are any suggestions before I
    reinstall Vista I am all ears!
