I took the administrator usage off my user account yesterday without
realizing I had not set it up under another user. So when I try to log
in under safe mode on administrator it comes up to welcome screen, says
logging on then says saving setting. Never leaves welcome screen. What
do I do????

The problem may be an incorrect system drive letter. With a networked
machine, open the registry and connect to the problematic machine and
navigate to:
[MACHINE_NAME\HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices]
and delete all values that look like this:
\DosDevices\C
\DosDevices\D
\DosDevices\E
and so on
When finished, make sure you disconnect the machine from the registry. There
are other ways to gain access to the registry if you cannot connect to the
problematic machine via networked Registry. Please let me know if you need
information on how to gain access to the Registry if you cannot by a
networked registry.
