[AccessD] OT XP strangenest

This could be a simple basic default security setting that in NT/2K/XP pro.
A normal user has no right to install software printer etc..
This can be an deliberate thing of your IT devision.
 
The simplest way to change, add the problem user(s) to the local
administrator group.
Ofcourse you must be logged in as a local or domain administrator to do
this...

Hi Tim:
 
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I got tired of waiting for the magic
bullet so I am in the process of re-installing. Anyway I am not sure any
programs would run reliably. (Most executables will freeze without any
messages.) Can not even boot off the CD as the 'NTLR' file is
missing...grrrr. It must be some kind of virus but according to McAffees and
Symantecs, no virus that matches those symptoms.
 
The next time I will keep your suggestion in mind.
 
Thanks for your help
Jim

You might try to restore the computer to a previous date and time when you
know you could add programs. It's a quick fix and is under system tools I do
believe.. You don't loose any current work either.. although you may loose a
program you installed, but I'm not sure.. I know any files generated won't
be lost.. Such as docs, etc.. 
 
Hope that helps..
Tim

OT request 
No Archive
 
Hi All:
 
This is an OT request but I am not sure who and where to ask and the group
is some of the most knowledgeable anywhere on the web.
 
I am having some weird problems on one of my XP pro computers. No programs
can be installed!
No local executables or internet programs requiring ActiveX components. 
 
As a number of individuals have been working on this system there is no way
to find out what took place; whether the situation was caused by a crashed
application, virus infection or dark MS system setting. I have traced every
program running, through the task manager, removed a number of 'spy'
programs from hard drive and registry. I have checked every run and loaded
code in the registries and there is nothing obvious.
 
HELP. Any resolutions, ideas or help sources would be greatly appreciated.
 
TIA
Jim
