No admin rights and C:\ is read-only
Hey there all, i've been running Win7 since the first beta and have been having no trouble at all. However, a little while ago, i noticed that my entire C: drive has been set to read-only. I was attempting to install Apache on it, and it worked great. However, when I went to go change the config file, it said i didn't have permission to save it. So I checked and it seems that every file and folder was set to read-only.
I tried unchecking the read-only box and applying settings to all subfolders, etc., but it said I needed admin rights. I activated the Administrator account and tried it on there, and it said I needed admin privileges again. I tried it through command prompt and no luck there either. I tried running a virus scan, rootkit scan and nothing there.
I eventually just reinstalled the OS with build-7068 (I was previously running 7057). Still, no luck. Everything is read-only still and I'm not able to edit any files on the C: drive at all, and it still shows up that I need admin rights. However, i can save files and install programs.
Does anyone know whats wrong, or if there is a possible fix? Thank you in advance, by the way.
