I told you clicking properties brings that weird Admin thing up... which I think somebody here is misconstruing as something to do with Admins of Illarion which it does not.

You can only change it in properties <_> .

Go ask your parents to enable you to do it.

Otherwise: 5MB?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!? O________________________O

Is that your OS or WinME? You posted both. But even under "Windoofs 2000" you should be able to change your screen resolution (correct me if I'm wrong) without admin rights.

Do this: Go to a blank part of your desktop (no icon, no program, just the desktop with all those cute icons on it). Right click. Choose "Properties". Go to "Settings" (or similar). Change your screen resolution to at least 1024x768. And read the wiki page for other possible problems.

Dude, the only way is to change your screen display.

Try this.

Go in "Start" -> "Control Panel" -> "Display" -> "Settings". Can you do that?

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 12:13 pm**

I click start and I see something that says Settings that has the little arrow on it also I am going to say this one last time I CAN'T OPEN PROPERTIES!!!!!

Apparently either you have a 'bigbrother is watching' administrator who doesn't let you do anything more then turning the computer on and off, or you have a ton and a half of viruses.

If you're an admin yourself, the only way to change those options (the disabled things) is through regedit...

If you can tell me whether you're an admin or not, I can try to help you get the options back.

I'm pretty sure I'm not an admin if the PC is telling me to contact an Admin

Not necessarily though. It always gives that message even if you are an admin.

Added: go to RUN > type "regedit" (don't TOUCH ANYTHING THERE)

Go to Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

And show me a printscreen of what is there.

If you can't open regedit it means you're not an admin.

DONT TOUCH ANYTHING THERE... You can SERIOUSLY mess up your system.

I did all that and went into policies and instead of saying system it said Explorer... >>> edited oh wait there were two things that said policies one sec... other one says system certificate and Windows Update

What's in explorer? Send me a printscreen of that please. (the keys on the right side)

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 12:47 pm**

A print screen??

There is only 4 things in it... can't I just tell you those?

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 12:48 pm**

For printscreen, press "Print Screen" on the top right of your keyboard, go start->accessories->MS Paint.

Edit->Paste (Or ctrl+v) to paste the screen and save it. Load http://www.imageshack.us in your browser. Click "browse" there, and select the picture. That'll upload it to the net, then just let it load. When it's loaded look in the very bottom square box for the direct link to the image. Copy that link and paste it here.

There's a button on your keyboard, top right which says "PrntSc" that takes an image of your screen and places it on the clipboard. So get regedit in the frotn of the screen, press it, open paint, paste it, crop the area, save it as a .jpg/.gif and then upload it using imageshack (imageshack.us) then put the url it gives you between tags and post it here.

*pants*

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 12:51 pm**

You don't need to crop it, just make sure when you click "save", on the dropdown bar you choose "JPEG" or "JPG" and not "24 color bitmap" or "BMP" or whatever. When you upload it, just paste the link, you needn't bother with .

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 12:57 pm**

I'm so confused

. I got the thing to appear in Paint thing. I opened Imagage Shack and I can't find the thing I saved...

Save it in the desktop, its the first place you'll look.

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 1:01 pm**

You mean as a shortcut or what??

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 1:02 pm**

No, paste in paint and save as a jpeg in "My Documents"

I guess your file is in:

C:\Documents and Settings\Yourname\My Documents\My Pictures

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 1:09 pm**

I swear I haven't been this confused in my whole life. I'm gonna take the easy way out and just tell you excactly what it is.

ab (Default) (Value not set)

CDRAutoRun 00 00 00 00

NoControlPanel 0x00000001 (1)

I open settings and all it brings up is:

Dial-Up Networking >

Printers >

Taskbar and Status Menu >

Posted: **Mon Dec 24, 2007 1:20 pm**

There we are

NoControlPanel 0x00000001 (1)

Edit it, and change the 1 to a 0

It should work

(the one in brackets)

Explanation: NoControlPanel is a registry key which disables your control panel. The 1 in brackets is the boolean on/off. 1 is on, 0 is off.

If you change the 1 to a 0, it'll turn off that registry key, and allow you access to the control panel.

I changed it and tried the properties thing again and it brought the same thing up again
