Limited User Account Profile on XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP3
I posted this earlier, but have not had a response so I am re-posting
separately: "Also, I cannot access a Limited Account User Profile because it says that I am not networked and I need to contact a Network Administrator. [I did not have any problems with this profile until Norton Support helped me!] I am not networked other than through Internet connection. I am the Computer Administrator and I have not installed any kind of network to my computer. My computer is the only one connected to the Internet. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

" If your other earlier post was identical to this one, the reason you probably got no answers is that there isn't enough information here to get an accurate diagnosis. 1. What were the original problems on the computer? 2. What troubleshooting did you already do? 3. What did Norton tech support do? 4. What is the exact text of the error message? Please don't paraphrase the way you did. 5. What does "cannot access..." mean? You mean you can't log on or can't get to the profile's files using Windows Explorer? 6. Does the same thing happen in Safe Mode? Are other accounts OK? The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't? The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and versions) did you use to determine this?

[I did not have any problems with this profile until Norton Support "helped" me!] (my quotes) I would suggest uninstalling all Norton products and getting Eset, Avira or AVG antivirus. The free offerings from the latter two are better then the paid Norton. Other than that, the problem may be because the limited user is not the owner of the profile folder (under Documents and Settings\ownername) Check the security options. (on Home this has to be done in safe mode) |
