Found an icon on my taskbar that has something called "Optical drive Lock" I have two choices:
Optical drive Auto lock and unlock time settings.
Could this have anything to do with the administrator access?

Access Denied. No administrative privileges. Right click generated this network error:

Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click diagnose.

Tried to run the diagnostic and got this error:

An error occurred while troubleshooting:
A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.

Ticked the details button on the diagnostics error and got this;

I appreciate you hanging in there with me, but, if it is getting to be too much, "Just say the word", and I'll take it into the shop. Just thought I'd try the forums first because my warranty is up.

Id recommend a reinstall of Windows . Use the tutorial below to get a great installation

Thanks again for sticking with me. I'll just have to take it in. Cannot access anything, so, without the CD and the recovery program being on the drive, I am unable to access it. I have seen a lot of people having the same trouble when I "Google" it; no one seems to be getting anywhere on the subject.
Thank you again for "all" of your help.
See you around the forum

The link I supplied will have a link to download a legit Windows 7 iso so you could use to reinstall Windows . Just use the Product key under neath the laptop or the battery .

OK, i will wait to see how this works out. Have a question though; I am unable to backup anything from the computer to USB or disc.
Is this a full system repair that erases and re-formats the system/C:\ drive?
