Windows 7: Cannot create a new account

Hi, I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed on my machine and I can't seem to create an administrator or standard user account on my system. I get the following screen,





Any idea how I can work this or what seems to be the problem?

How long have you had Windows 7 installed? Did it work before? Please give us a little more information, we will able to help you more.

Ive had it installed for a little over 6 months now. Even now everything else works just fine. This is the first of things that i've discovered recently. System specs are,

AMD Athlon 4400+
3GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM
DVD+/- Writer
XFX ATi 4650 HD graphics
300GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive

Hello,

Does your current Username has any special characters ? Try to create it from "Local Users and Groups"
Start | Right click on Computer | Manage | Local Users and Groups | Users | There just Right Click on Panel the select New User then try to create one there.

If that fails then Enable Build-in administrator and see if can create under that account Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or Disable

Hope this helps,
Captain

Hello rcsh, welcome to Seven Forums!





I see from the snip above you are trying to name the account "Admn" Windows may not be allowing that as there is already a "built in" acct named "Administrator" and yours may be confusing matters not to mention people have had major problems when an acct is named administrator, try another name.
