Are you logged on as admin?

 

[alexm]

Guest. I think

 

[HarriePateman]

Guest. I think

Then you wont be able to change the UAC settings

You need to ask the user with the administrator account

I am the one &only on this computer. I have no administrator rights.

Thank you for following this up....

I agree with you something is not right here?

Guest accounts by default have no password,
Usually why most people disable the feature immediately if not sooner,

I wonder if you are really using the Guest account ???
Maybe your account is corrupt and you are using a Temp account when you log in ???
Just guessing here.

thats why I'm here. lol.

Point is computers are stolen everyday,
Then the new unknowing buyers come here looking for hacks to get them inside it,

I would suggest using safe mode to access your admin user account,
Safe mode with networking,
Shut down your machine,
Power up and Tap the F8 key continuously until you see a black page with white text,
Use the down arrow key to toggle to safe mode with networking/ hit the enter key.
Login as usual

[DavidE]

Can you go to Control Panel > User Accounts ?
If you can, what account does it show ?
Is it the Guest account, or ???
