[HTech]

Unlikely, but as long as your problem is resolved, thats what counts...

True, but its not resolved yet.

Certainly is an odd one -- repair install an option?

I have reinstalled it at least ten times.

Fishy..but I am out of options buddy.

BTW, did u try the steps posted by mitchell??

I did and it worked, but you should not have to do it when you are an administrator. Something is strange. Could it have anything to do with hardware as the motherboard?

HTech, even the built in administrator account in Win 7 is somewhat limited. It is not a wide open admin account such as we had in XP. This is part of Win &'s increased security. It can be annoying at times; but I have gotten used to it. It no longer frustrates me.

IDK whether this will work but give it a shot.

Click Start button, in the Search box or Run box type: GPEDIT.MSC
That will bring up the Group Policy Object editor.

Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager. ENABLE the policy called "Do not preserve zone information in file attachments".

Close the GP editor, then logoff and logon to your computer.

I've never had this problem before. I got it after I took out all the components and put them in another case.

This may sound odd, but how about, creating another admin account and turning off UAC in it and check the issue.

Yes. Any clue ?

 

[CarlTR6]

No, I am baffled.

 

[manhunter2826]

Me too -- several (if I understand correctly) clean/repair installs and still the same problem, and no third party add-ons. Weird.

Yes very strange. I have tried to come up with some solution for a week without success.

 

[HTech]

I have tried to replace the motherboard with a new motherboard and reinstalled Windows 7 and I still get the same warnings and can not turn off my antivirus program through Task Manager. It seems that I do not have administrator rights even I am logged into the built-in Administrator account.

How can this even be possible? What's wrong?

 

[lectricfunrl]

is user account control still checked in action center settings?

 

[HTech]

Its OFF.

 

[lectricfunrl]

sounds like a hijacking though. as one person put it to me when i asked questions such as this: learn to network scrub. and I am not calling you a scrub, its just what the ghostly *******a said. windows does protect some system files though, evven if you're an administrator you may not be able to view them if you don't really know your way around windows.

even so, consider the hardware changes, windows might think you're a different administrator or something. try scanning with device manager, restarting pressing f8 and running repair. did you look at your permissions? i've had that issue on various pc's over the network, but it always says you need administrator privledges and i click a button and pushes on through to let me adjust settings. well 9 times out of ten.

 

[lectricfunrl]

no UAC is off, i'm talking about the check box in action center. could be a bug. 7 is still pretty new.

 

[lectricfunrl]

no need for capitol punishment.

 

[HTech]

Everything seems to be like it should be.
