I have recently upgraded from XP to Vista via DVD booting. I have recieved a
few errors etc.. to overcome this e.g unistalling windows defender etc.. I
have came across the problem of my scrreen going black etc.. now and again
although there is HD activity....any advice? Also when i boot up i cannot
login using my adim account as it says this has been disabled....why? iam
only able to login when i use my username and connect to my Domain in the
office.

Any help would be appreciated

I have heard of buggy display drivers causing the screen to go black for a
few seconds every now and then. I am not aware of any solutions, other then
updating to latest display drivers.

The Administrator account is disabled in Windows Vista, except from Safe
Mode. Microsoft is pushing the best security practices that other OS's allow
and encourage:

- Complete admin access should never be used xcept in emergency
- If you need admin access to something, you only give a certain program
admin privledges
- Unless explicitly ran as admin, all programs run with standard user rights

So, the full admin account is disabled except in safe mode, and members of
the Administrators group no longer run with full admin privledges; instead,
they have to explicitly run programs with admin privledges by right-clicking
them and clicking run as administrator (or the program may ask for admin
permission).

If this new security model is unacceptable, you can re-enable the built in
administrator and/or disable the User Account Control (UAC is what limits
the Administrators group members privlidges) from the User Accounts control
panel, although Microsoft highly recommends that you do not do this.
