Hello
2 problems related to XP, I think
1). Somehow XP no longer recognizes our ID as administrator. On our computer there are only 2 IDs, my and my husband's joint ID, and the Guest. Nobody else uses the computer but me and my husband, and we don't know how it came undone. At first it was working, we had access to everything. Now we cannot access the administrator function -- we are blocked from it on our ID. Somehow I think the Guest ID now has administrator rights, but I cannot access them through Guest either. (How can I regain administrator rights?) Anyway a few problems coincided with this new development
a). We cannot access internet options in IE 6.0 to make changes due to lack of administrator rights. Consequently our IE homepage is stuck at "about: blank" and we cannot select a new homepage
b). Certain web sites won't load properly, such as ebay, and also I noticed that it won't allow me to do a google search on my own name (possibly because of IE security settings, which I cannot access? Or could this be due to McAfee Internet Security?
2.) We use Outlook and Word (from Office 2000) on Windows XP. Ever since we upgraded to XP, the diacritics when we switch to either French or Portuguese toolbars will not work in either Outlook or in Word (i.e., when you press the accent, then the letter, it will not merge them to an accented letter like it is supposed to do). We use a standard qwerty american keyboard, the same one we were using before we switched to XP and which worked with the French and Portuguese toolbars before
Anybody know what we can do about these problems? Our free support has run out (though I do not recall using them!)
