I have a Dell XPS M1530 with Vista Home Premimum. I have found no way to
bring it up in administrator mode. I've tried F8 F11 and no joy. Any ideas>

Thanks,

The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista. Here
is a link explaining the changes from XP to Vista:

If you mean Safe Mode, F8 should do it.
From the online manual....
Turn on the computer. When the Dell logo appears, press <F8> several times
to access the Vista Advanced Boot Options Window.
 
You can try the following command:
Make sure that you run the Command Shell in administrator mode
or "Run as Administrator"

net user administrator activate:yes

Hope this Helps.
