First of all let me explain that I first installed win xp about 2 years ago.
Then recently I updated my Bios for the motherboard and there was a flaw in
it, that resulted in the system crashing every 9 minutes. So I had to work
quick to get the old bios back on. Part of it crashing like it did it messed
up the MBR in the hard drive which made windows unloadable. I couldn't fix
this with the recovery console or old dos 6.22.
So I then reinstalled windows xp back over the drive to see if it could fix
it. It did fix it but when the installation was done I had an old me from the
first installation and a new me from the second and an owner and another that
was just a number as an administrator. This was really depressing me all that
much, I got back most of my old stuff from the first me. But recently I tried
to boot up in safe mode and the only option was administrator. My password
worked got me in, but there was no desktop that was visible and the only
thing I could pull up was the task manager. Does anyone know why the
administrator has no power in the situation and why I as me am not listed in
the choices?
Also, I have recently been experimenting with a change to the tahoma font
within the regestry, I changed it to dutch extra bold because I could not see
the permenant writting on the statioary windows and the only way to change it
was with higher dpi settings. The higher dpi settings make the web page end
up in the next room if the monitor was that big. And every time I have tried
to change other things it screws everything up. Font choice, should not
affect the way an administrator has privelege can it?
