Administrator Acct not accessible [Moved from XP by chauffeur2]

MJ Strauss · 06-23-2008, 08:12 AM

I tried to chg one account to Administrator and the original Administrator acct to limited. This really messed things up. I can't chg things back, I get a script error when I try to access user accts. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello MJ Strauss, Welcome to TSF!

Try powering up the computer from a 'Cold Start', while continually tapping the F8 Key.
In the "Safe Mode" Menu select the option "Last Known Good Configuration", and follow the on-screen prompts.

Post back with the outcome.

Kind Regards,

Thanks,
But I still get the Internet Explorer Script Error. The only way to get out of it is to restart the computer.

G'Day again MJ Strauss,

I will transfer this thread to our Internet Explorer Support Forum, were the Team there will more than likely have an answer for you.

Good Luck with it.

Kind Regards,

what is the script error

MJ Strauss · 06-30-2008, 10:14 AM

It just says - An error has occurred in the script on this page. Then on the bottom it asks if I want to continue. There is no other information on the error page. I've tried to attach a word doc with a copy of the error message, hopefully I succeeded and it will give you a better idea of my problem. Thank you.

please do this

if that fails:

System File checker: sfc/ scanow

**Note: You will need A Windows XP CD for this exercise**

Please insert the Windows XP CD into your CD/DVD drive.
Click Start, then Run
Copy and paste the command below into the text box (with out the quotation marks)
sfc /scannow
Click Ok
During the scan you may be asked to Insert the A Windows XP CD, if this happens just click retry and let it do its thing.

Please post back with the results.
