Re: Want to boot clean but computer says I haven't got adminstrato

Open a command window and type net localgroup administrators and hit
enter. If you are not sure how to open a command prompt window type cmd in
the run box and hit enter. Below is an example of what you should see when
running that command.

Steve


D:\WINDOWS\system32>net localgroup administrators
Alias name administrators
Comment Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the
computer/domain

I unchecked Process System.ini file, Process Win.ini file and Load Startup
Items. I did not uncheck Load system services. I followed the instructions
given by Microsoft for a clean boot. I assume that Load system services
has
to remain checked for a reason.

How do I use the command net localgroup administrators to see if my logon
account is indeed in the administrators group or not?

Thanks

It sounds like your operating system may have become corrupt or possibly
malware has reconfigured permissions for administrators in an effort to
try
and prevent you from removing it. You could also try unchecking load
system
services and load startup items temporarily with msconfig to see if that
will allow the clean boot you need to install your software. You can use
the
command net localgroup administrators to see if your logon account is
indeed
in the administrators group or not.

I need a clean boot to install some software due to conflicts. In the
system
configuration I tick "Hide all Microsoft Services". When I apply a box
comes
up stating "An access error was returned while attempting to change a
service. You may need to log on using an administrator account to make
the
specified changes". As I am the only person to use the computer I find
this
very strange. I have read previous posts on here where people have said
just
ignore the error message but this does not seem to work. All the
Microsoft
services are still ticked and there is no way that I can get them
un-ticked.
I have tried installing the software anyway and keep getting an error
message
"Doctor Watson Debugger" whilst trying to install it. Any help would be
appreciated before my computer goes through the nearest window.
