Hello oldbat, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You might see if you may be able to do a system restore using a restore point dated before this happened to hopefully undo and fix it.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

no good there either, I did try. followed your directions tried restore first thing.
I have NEVER been able to get my system to do a repair or a restore. never.
always has told me can't do it for some reason.

only restore pt I have is 6 days ago. this has been a problem for about 10 days. I did try the restore/repair on the first day after researching the problem. didn't work. as usual, couldn't restore/repair. so then I tried the regedit thing. no go. i enabled the guest acct. no deal. today i found out about making a new acct. i have the icon on my login page, but i get the same error. when i look in the regedit while trying it again, i noticed that there is no key string that says it is for guest or for nana2. nana is there, and so is admin nana pc. and a 3rd one, plus i think 3 smaller sized entries. the third long entry is not for either nana, guest, or admin.

In that case, you may need to reinstall Windows.

 

[oldbat]

yeah. hoping to avoid that. but it now looks inevitable. but, seeing how my computer is 4 yrs old....

The latest Windows 8.1 Update version is good for me. You might give it a play with.
