Yeah, Zavalaf, we don't like being yelled at, don't do that.o, im sorry, i didnt realize that, my wife just explained what that meant..sorryi just changed the name, that was it.You changed WHAT name?the administrator name.. i also just went to "change enviroment variables" i right clicked 'my computer'-properties 'advanced tab', when i hit advanced tab it says, windows cannot find %windir%//systempropertiesadvanced.exe. make sure you type the name correctly, and then try again.... it says that to alot of things also.How did you change the admin name? And why?

And obviously this is the cause of your problem - why didn't you tell us about it in your first post?Tell us the "alot" of things part so we can determine what exactly you have done...Nothing's new except the year
