| | | | I have tried reading the other help questions on this and tried doing some of
the answers with no success.
All my windows updates are failing. I'm being told I have to be the
administrator to go in and delete corrupted logs/ etc. I am the
administrator on this computer but I did not set up any password. Most
common windows update error is Windows Update error 8007000b.
When I have the command prompt up it shows users\rose. I have tried right
clicking and do not get administrator in the drop down menu. I type in
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\. and an reply comes back that I must
run it as a administator. I have also tried keying this in just at the c:
prompt. I see that I am the administrator of the computer so is that why I
do not get the drop menu on the right click to show administrator?
How do I fix this problem?
The other problem I have is I can't get manual defrag to work. I just
erased 11 gigs out of my recycle bin and wanted to run defrag. I'm almost
ready to go out and buy a 3rd party defrag.. can someone help on this too?
Thanks
Rose

Rose, did you right click the shortcut to the command prompt?
Click the Start Orb, type CMD, the first choice in the search pane will be
"cmd" under programs.
Right click the CDM shortcut that shows up and choose Run As Administrator.
You should get a command windows that has
"Administrator: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" in the title bar.
When running under Vista with "Administrator Rights", this is what you
actually get when you choose Administrator for the user, you're not a true
admin, you can just run certain things and access certain areas without
having to type in a password, you're still basically a standard user since
you still have to go through UAC before you can do anything administrative.
There is a true administrator account included with Vista, but it's disabled
by default, and you really don't want to run as admin all the time anyway,
this was the main problem with XP and the reason even admin users in Vista
aren't true administrators.
A little more information on the defrag problem is needed, do you get an
error message? Does it just not do anything? (It actually won't show you
anything, it'll just say it's running and can take hours) or does the
programs crash?

You might want to look at the location where it saves the database. If it
saves it to a restricted area such as, C:\Program Files or C:\Windows, this
could be the reason that it requires admin privilegtes.
If this is the case, look in the program for the configuration settings to
see if it is possible to change this location. If this option is available,
create a new folder in the C:\Users\your username\ folder and move the
database location to that new location.

Hi there Juan,
If you go into your printers folder, right click on the printer and then
click on the security tab is the Administrator allowed to print in this
case? Its very unusual if its not checked but its possible its not.
You may need to run as administrator to do this

I make sure myself and even everyone could do printing and had everything
checked and I still have no printers listed.

Change the splwow64 timeout value
You cannot use the RUNAS command to print from a 32-bit program in
different user accounts in a single session on a computer that is running a
64-bit version of Microsoft Windows
(923357) - Describes behavior that occurs because the Splwow64.exe
process is available only to the first user until a specified period passes.
.... This behavior occurs because the system uses the Splwow64.exe process to
translate between 32-bit programs and the driver model of the 64-bit
operating system.

I am really the same user with administrative privledges, but you are saying
when I run the program normally I am user xyz with reduced privledges and
when I start the program with run as administrator I am user xyz with
additional privledges so to Vista we are different users even though there is
only one xyz user account?

no clue, it's a security thing.
Did changing the timeout address the issue?

| | | | | Yes, I added the registry setting and nothing changed. I added a DWORD 32
bit value and set it to 60, since I tend to do leave my debugger open usually
for days (But I thought I would try 60 min). But I still have no printers
listed when launching my MFC application via the VS 2005 debugger.

| | | | | One thing that may give you a little more information is when I run VS2005
with run as administrator, I cannot print. Inside VS2005, I get a list of
printers, but nothing comes out. But in my application (MFC or c) started
via the debugger of VS2005, I don't even get a list of printers.
