I Have a laptop with windows XP Sp2 out of the blue asked me for a password that I never set, I was able to get past this using ?ERD Commander, Lock Smith? after this I ran – Norton AV, Adware 6,TrojanHunter, Spybot 1.4 & Registry Medic v2 among others( getting updates from my desktop) nothing abnormal was found now I go the windows update site and run into the next problem the system tells me I do not have administrator privileges – Error 0x800A0046 ( I am the admin. & logged on as such ) then I go to System Restore it is no longer under help & support & the tab is missing system properties Finley I get to it through system tools click on it and this is what I get (system Restore: you do not have sufficient security privileges Non-administrator user is unable to start System Restore utility) once again logged on as admin. There is a list of fixes under the above Error 0x800A0046 from Microsoft KB But the administrator tools required are not in there assigned path! Anymore
I Thank you in advance for any help you have to offer.
