Hi,
I just bought a new Toshiba laptop today, and set it up. Everything seemed to go smoothly, until I tried to delete the one of the silly desktop shortcuts that was preinstalled by Toshiba. Then User Account Control took over and said that I needed to be logged
in as the Administrator to do this. It said that I have to type a password and click yes, or no. There is no space to enter a password, and the 'Yes' box is disabled. My only choice is to click the 'No' and go back to the drawing board.
The same happens when I tried to install Adobe Flash Player. I also tried to change my account (which is marked as a 'Standard Account' into an Administrator one, but the same message occurs. This is very frustrating, what use is a computer if I can't delete
or install the programmes I want to use?!
Thank you for your response! Before you replied, I went back to the shop where I bought it, where the computer technicians sorted it out for me. They enabled the administrator account from some options they managed to get to after the boot screen.
