Hi
My problem is I am trying to install children s educational /Games from CDs
After having installed the programs,
and the programs that help run them like Adobe 6,
I have installed (8) eight different programs, of which some run, and some don't.
The main problem here is after I have turned off the computer.
Then on restarting the computer there is no educational /Games programs on the computer,
Even the short cuts I used to start the programs have gone.
Nothing in the All Programs and nothing in the Programs and Features window either.
The only programs that stayed installed were Adobe 5 & 6
........................................................................... ...........................................................
Because my son gave me this computer and he is in Afghanistan at the moment,
I checked the User Account areas and found that only the Administrator is allowed to Install or Change the settings.
I also tried to set up another user account as administrator hoping to be able to change the settings to allow myself those privileges,
Only to have the following message:
You do not have the proper privileges to change the administrator.
Also when i tried to change the time, the following message:
You do not have the proper privileges to change the System Time.
........................................................................... ..................................................
I also tried to do a complete re-install with the original OS disk
again I was denied access to do this.
This computer is not connected to the internet.
I would appreciate your help
Thank you
