| | Which administrator account are you talking about? Did you set it up or was it set up for you as soon as you did the install? |

| | Hello Fasn8ting, and welcome to Seven Forums. If you changed the C:\Users\Michael user folder to Judy, then that is your problem. You will need to rename it back to Judy and restart the computer for it to work again. You cannot change the name of the user folder of a user account. Instead, you will have to create a new account.  Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | I didn't change it in "folders" I did it through Control Panel. If I change it back that way should it work? Can you have two administrator accounts if I create a new one? |
