Hello Gurus,
I ran a re-install of XP home (SP2) on an e-machine which crashed. Now I
can not use some of the on-board devices and have tried to install PCIs.
When I run the setup packets, I get the message that I do not have access,
and to log on as Administrator, which I was. I created 2 more Admins in safe
mode, but all have the same problems. I ran malware and found none. I have
read other questions, but can not find the problem. I do NOT have the
original e-machine disks, but the e-machine's SP Home COA was on original
machine. I am stuck, and all, if any, help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, If I need to do a clean install, will the genereic XP Home Disk work
with the e-machine's COA. However, I would prefer to fix the problem and not
wipe it clean. Thank-you in advance for all, if any, help.
 
Youre account(s) may be one of the administrators,but its not thee
"administrator"
The s makes alot of diffrence in windows OS.Try safe mode,enter xp as the
administrator,make the changes.
