Re: Help with Guest account

Are you sure you are using an administrator account and did you verify it
with the command I recommended? You can also run the command net user
username using the actual username for your account to see if it shows that
it is a member of the administrators group under local group memberships.
Below is the output you should see. Also why do you need to enable the guest
account?? You can also create other user accounts for other user that you
want to be able to logon to your computer.

I enabled the Guest account via my Administrators Account. I click on the
Guest Account to activate it and I get these problems. I activated the
Guest
Account on my other computer without any of these problems. Thanks for
responding.

The first thing to check is that you are logged on as an account that is
in
the local administrators group because if you are not that would explain
the
problems. You can use the command net localgroup administrators to see
members of the administrators group. If you are unsure of how to open a
command window then enter cmd.exe in the run box and hit OK.

trying to install a Corel photo program but the access denied error is
interferring with that process. I am out of ideas on what to do here.
It
