Defrag and Command Prompt not working

Can somebody please help me? The Windows Defrag software stops working. Also, Command Prompt says that i do not have administrator privilages, however, when i check if i have the admin privilages in the user accounts, it says that i have all the privilages. Can anybody here help?

Command Prompt says you don't have administrator privileges when you try to do...what? Or can you not even open it?

It's possibly you're technically a Power User, even if it shows you as an Admin.

Go to the Run prompt, enter in "control userpasswords2" without the quotes, and see what the Group is for your username.

-NC

#403319

gpedit.msc (group policy command, start it RUN prompt)

check it group policy rights to admin section...

#403332

It says that I'm an administrator and user

Whatever is going on also won't let me access regedit. To answer nightcrawler's question, i try to use the defrag software thru the command prompt.

Command Prompt says that it has been disabled by the administrator, but there is only one account on my computer, and i'm using the only one.

A possible virus/malware is the most likely result. Try booting in Safe Mode and running a Virus Scan with your anti-virus software.

-NC

P.S: What happens when you press Ctrl. + Shift + Esc., or Ctrl. + Alt. + Del? Some virii try to disable this...

#403546

I have tried booting it in safe mode and running a virus scan, but the problem is still there.

P.S: The task manager comes up

#403572

Did you look event viewer? Maybe, it would be problem details there.

Can you try below the technique;

Open START / Programs / Accessories

Right click on the "Command Prompt" line

Click "Run as..." command

Choose "The following user"

Write administrator username and password

Whats happen!!! Please, tell us.

sounds like a corrupt profile to me. log in to the administrator account and run defrag and try the command line. if it works, your account profile is probably corrupt. then, create a new user called username1 and give it admin rights. copy over your documents and favorites. then try defrag and command line from that account. get the idea?

#403689

I tried logging on as the admin, but that didn't work either.

How do i get the event viewer?

#403758

right-click on my computer. select manage. you'll see event viewer. but, if you don't even know how to get to event viewer, do you'll think you'll be able to make sense of the results? i'm not saying this as a put-down. just making an observation...

#403760

AkeBONO: The screen that i got from the technique said that there were either 1 of 3 reasons, no blank password, logon hour restrictions, or policy restrictions. Can you help?

shmengie: maybe you can help me make sense of the results?

#403761

I think you need to save all your stuff, and restore

#403764

I've already tried reinstalling windows from scratch, when i tried using defrag, it refused to work...

#403766

Open Event Viewer, right click "Application" and "System" sections, choose "Export List" than save text file. Open text file, select first 20~30 lines each file than copy + paste here... I want to see error messages. I think you have a Group Policy restriction problem. Did you change anything before? For example, take over admin rights!!!! Or, are you working on any domain?

Look at the registry program below the lines

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorerDisallowR

un

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorerRestrictR

un

Is there any "DisallowRun" or "RestrictRun" registry keys?
