nlite is actually pretty easy

you problem is cause by incorrect security entry's in the registry .usually cause by trojan or virus or malware /spyware .just search google to find correct entry's .i did have them once because i had same problem and fixed it by changing entry's ,its just a simple 1 where a zero should be .look in Local Security Policy also something may be set in there .secpol.msc in run

Soldiering on without a gun is ineffective .lol

Hi, I have the same problem.
I can't access admin tools in control panel.
I am using windows xp sp3 professional.
I think it's a virus, because today I can't even see the usb devices in My Computer and I tried to see them in Disk Management but in there i can't even see the main disks like C: or D:.
I can see only CD-Drives.
I think I took the virus off, but i can't see USB or Disks anymore.
So Please if anyone knows the registry files that I should change to take in control my computer.
secpol.msc doesn't work either.
I can't use System Restore cause i turn it off.
Thanks in advance

If you have got XP home it wont work.

Create a new post in the Viruses and Spyware forum about your problem please.

Hi,

Thread starter here.

I soldiered on without "Computer Management" and the other day I stumbled upon a way to run it without going via Control Panel ... and it works.

Just right click on "My Computer" on the desktop and select "Manage". It seems that my PC is actually happy to run Computer Management after all ... just not from the Control Panel.


I hope this may help someone.

Graham
