Octopuss Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 I am probably missing something, but Vista is still a bit new to me.Under this computer-properties-advanced (or whatever is it called in english version), I cannot access the system startup and recovery (translation again ). It gives me an error message about not being logged in as a user with sufficient rights. What the hell, I can't go more admin than local admin!!
Tripredacus Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 The local admin account can still be blocked based on a couple of factors. Those are: Local Group Policy, Domain Group Policy, Local Ownership rights, NTFS permissions, inherited group permissions, file use restrictions.As for which it could be, you'll need to post additional information. Try these questions to start:1. Are you on a domain, workgroup (LAN) or stand-alone?2. Is the local admin user created after installation (aka not the default Administrator account)?3. Is the local admin account a member of any other groups besides Administrators?4. Are there any other local users?5. What distribution of Vista are you using?I just tried on a system here, and I have no problems accessing this option. Although, I am running Vista in the Audit pass.There is an easier way to get to it is Computer Properties, Advanced tab.
Octopuss Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 Well, I just vLited me Vista BusinessM. Since I am not a friend of more users, I just set a password for (I guess) the default admin.It is a home pc, so no domain etc.
Tripredacus Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Well since you threw vLite in there, I'm out. You might have configured something wrong. I have no experience with Windows after vLite.
nitinagarwal1988 Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 right click on advanced option then click on run as administrator and you'll able to access it.........
Octopuss Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 What do you mean? Right mouse doesn't do anything in there.This computer - properties - and in there I am supposed to r-click on the advanced tab? That is what you mean?
Octopuss Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 This is the ONLY thing I cannot run. Weird.

Octopuss Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 Unfortunately I cannot, it's all greyed out. I really don't get it, ALL other possible system settings are changeable.
