Guest Elvey Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Hi Guys I have been using XP on my system for ages with very few problems but over the last couple of days my account which has full administration rights will not allow me to change settings. I get an error message telling me the XXX has been disabled by your administrator. The Admin account works fine so can anyone shed any light on why this has happen and better still a cure. Many thanks Raistlin

Make a another Admin account and see if this will resolve your issue.

I suspect it might have been some kind of malware from a website, but I found myself suddenly being denied access to things. The first thing I noticed was the Run command disappeared from my start menu. IIRC when I tried to change the startmenu settings I was denied, which made me realise something was up. I noticed my changes almost immediately and hadn't reboot since the changes, I used system restore and have had no surprises since, though now I'm not sure which machine it was on, and never investigated it further at the time. I assume I prevented the malware from infecting my system properly. Sorry I can't offer a real solution.
