Right so far.
Then I get a bit stuck. I have 2 listings with my username 1 labeled "Administrators (Wayne-PC\Adminstrators) and 1 labeled "Users (Wayne-PC\Users)" Which one should I choose? Should I click on Edit or Advanced
Chose the one you are logged on under. Then, change the permissions for that user so that all the check boxes you can check are checked.
I have tried a few options and tried to give full control but when I click on apply I first get a warning about making the changes. I then click on yes and then get an error message that says "An error occurred when applying security information to: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers access is denied" So it basically wont allow me to apply the changes
You could try logging in as Administrator. Or you could use the Advanced tab and try taking ownership before you give your log in name full permission.
In relation to ths start up programs I am having trouble with they are listed as start up programs in msconfig. If i turn UAC of they load on start up ok.
I didn't understand.
It is Windows defender that is blocking them. When I boot the PC up with UAC on I get a box that says windows has blocked some start up programs. If I cick on run blocked progams it says one program called "peer guardian" is blocked and it will allow me to run it. But If I cick on show or remove blocked start up programs the classifcation for peer guardian is permitted? I don't understand why it listed as permitted yet it is listed under run blocked program option?
You must, at some point, have prevented (somehow) some programs from starting when Vista starts up. Defender is not blocking anything. Use msconfig to enable start up of all items shown to get over this hump. There really is not problem with the way things are unless you want some things to start up that aren't.
Also if I click on show or remove blocked start up programs the classifcation for 2 other start up programs (Mailmoa and Realtek Sound Manager) they are listed under classification as "Not Yet Classified" How do I change them to permitted?
Where do you see "Not Yet Classified?" Not yet classified does not imply that they are not permitted as far as I know.
I think maybe you are trying to solve too many things at once. Let's focus on one thing at a time. |
