| | Manage Account Screen Blank I set up a user account for my daughter, but now we need to delete it. However, it does not appear in the MANAGE ACCOUNTS screen. In fact, the box where accounts should appear is utterly blank. Any help appreciated. Thanks . . . Steve |

| | RE: Manage Account Screen Blank Not sure if it makes much difference, but try opening local users and groups in the mmc console by adding the appropriate snapin. See if this one is blank also.

| | RE: Manage Account Screen Blank Sam: Unfortunately, that doesn't help. When I tried to load the LOCAL USERS AND GROUPS snapin, I received a message stating that it wasn't available for Vista Home Basic. So near, yet so far!

| | RE: Manage Account Screen Blank I have Vista Home Premium and I have the exact same issue. I have searched everywhere for an answer to this with no luck. Please help anybody... I have not yet tried using the command line "net" commands. I hope I don't have to resort to that. "WB8IMY" wrote: Quote: > Sam: Unfortunately, that doesn't help.

| | RE: Manage Account Screen Blank I have resolved the issue by restoring back to a previous saved version of the registry/system settings. This "System Restore Tool" tool is available in Vista and runs automatically and the process was very easy. It seemed safe enough becuse it promises not to touch any of your personal files. I restored back to the time right before I transferred files (using the easy transfer cable) from my XP professional machine. Something must have transferred over that messed up Vista "user wise"...? OR possibly I installed something between then and now that messed it up... Bottom line you can try this - it fixed the problem for me.

| | RE: Manage Account Screen Blank 100% same problem, but last recovery point is 2 days ago, and I don't know for how long I've already got this problem. Is there any solution out there, or do I have to reinstall Vista?! |

| | Re: Manage Account Screen Blank You aren't limited to using the latest restore point. There should be several restore points available. Go to the following website for the complete instructions on using system restore.
