No, that does not help.
I tried the same in WindowsXP SP3 and Vista.
In Vista:
after running: net user Administrator /active:yes
the cmd response was "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied"

in WinXP:
the command was successful but the administrator option has not appeared (I
tried rebooting to no avail)

Thanks,
Claire
 
I wasn't talking about XP. I have no knowledge about the command there,
so if I referred to that I'd be misleading you :-)

But in Vista, did you run cmd.exe in administrator mode? It sounds like
you didn't.

Here's a trick which works for me. In the start menu Start-Search box,
type command instead of cmd. That seems to come up in administrator
mode automatically - on my computer; I don't know if I can
extrapolate...

IN ORDER 2 RUN AN ELEVATED COMMAND PROMPT IN WINDOWS VISTA OR WINDOWS
7: TYPE CMD IN THE SEARCH BOX ON THE START MENU, RIGHT CLICK IT AND
CLICK RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR, JUST FYI.

I have the administrative privileges in any of my Windows and I do not use
passwords.
Everything what I do for testing is done in VPC windows.
Thanks,

Also, I turned off UAC.

THEN GO BACK 2 XP AS YOUR VISTA OPERATING SYSTEM MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE
WITH THE SOFTWARE THAT YOU ARE TRYING 2 INSTALL ON YOUR COMPUTER, JUST

Claire,
You still didn't answer Gene's question. There are different levels of
Administrator. Having administrative privileges doesn't necessarily mean
running as Administrator.
