Ok, upon receiving the disk. I noticed it said it was for ASUS computers. my computer is not ASUS but we are both 64 bit. I was hopeing I would get lucky so I put the disk in and opened it to find this install exe but I could not find it. I'm still on safe mode btw.

Right i now understand this as i looked at your Photos properly,

The First Issue is the Shortcut Image has been replaced by the Installation Picture, Now im not too sure but i think Brink Wrote a Tutorial on how to Reset the Images since it has happened to a few people. I'll Get back to you on this one.

For the Uninstallable Updates, Can you Run CCleaner and Delete all Temporary Files and then remove Silverlight from your Pc. After Doing Both these Reinstall SIlverlight 'DIRECTLY' from Microsoft that should solve the error messages.

The Windows Install error is looking for the installation files in your temporary files so 'C:\fad5f4fda1f6' Deleting these with CCleaner and restarting the downloads Should Fix the Problem.

Now as to the Administrative Problems.

Can you Access the Run Command?
if so can you type this into the run command = Control Userpasswords2 and post back if a window pops up?

BlackDinomite,

Could you try having a read through this tutorial in an attempt to Fix your Icon Shortcuts?

Windows Sniper,
Since some programs using the %temp% for saving of their own temporary info that they will use the next time you restart, then CCleaner does not immediately clean out the temp folders. A wise and cautionary measure.

Most programs have stopped using the temp folders for info that they need to be there after a new restart.

As a general rule, but not a 100% rule, you can immediately clean out all temp folders, assuming you have closed all progams, then you can:
rb: | type %temp% | ENTER | use Ctrl + A to select all | use Ctrl + D to delete all selected

Good Point Thanks for Adding it Karl

 

[BlackDinomite]

Ok I entered the command and I got a users window. It said I am set as an admin but the error is still there.

 

[Windows Sniper]

Right, Can you double click your name and make sure that Your Permissions are set to Administrator and see if that Changes it?

Oh and Did the Other post Fix your other problems?

 

[BlackDinomite]

Sadly no. I tried the manual and the automatic fix neither worked. And my permissions did not change.

 

[karlsnooks]

blackdinomite,

Precisely, what file are you wanting to take ownership of?
What permissions do you want for that file?

 

[karlsnooks]

blackdinomite,

How to determine if you are an administrator:

1. Click on the Start button.
2. Select Control Panel.
3. Select User Accounts and Family Safety.
4. Select User Accounts.
5. On the right of the User Accounts window, you should see your account name, account icon and a description listed.
6. If the word "Administrator" is in your account’s description, then you are an administrator. If you see "Standard user," then you are not and administrator and will need to log in as a different user.

 

[BlackDinomite]

That's just it. It says I'm the admin but I have no admin privileges. And the current admin problem is installing updates which I still cant do. It says i need to contact the admin of the computer to do it. I cant even access my UAC I click the button and nothing happens.

 

[karlsnooks]

I'm a little confused. First you tell me that you are an admin.

then you tell me that you can't access the UAC.

the procedure I gave for determining if you are an admin or standard user, required you to go to the UAC.

Please try to execute the procedure I gave.

Here is a pic of my problem I'm not explaining it well.
