Ok, as everyone else, new computer, Vista was already installed on the
computer. I originally setup my account as an administrator. Once I found out that Vista would not let me run some applications as an administrator I setup a standard user as well. Somehow, I changed my main account to standard and the new user is the administrator. Vista will not let me switch users. I have tried the swith users function but my standard user is the only one that comes up on the login screen. Why can I not see the other user I setup? Also, this computer is for home use, can you just deactivate the whole security thing? Microsoft was to clever for their own good on this one. |
