Soundcard driver won’t install & uninstall hangs XP?

Friday 16 June 2006 @ 1:43 pm
win xp drivers


I have a sonicfury card I accidently uninstalled. Now having major issues:
When re-installing drivers from CD, or updated from web I’m told it can’t complete: limited access. Have logged as admin, still nothing. Have used restore points to get over xp totally hanging/not booting. Complete uninstall/reinstall – not registering drivers.

Everytime I uninstall driver or disable in device manager when i log in (when not hanging) i see it still there in DM or add/remove hardware (which I can’t remove it from – only deleting it in DM works, until I reboot & there it is). Have tried new malware scans, pausing firewalls and cool little programs that let me remove/quaratine the driver to stop it trying to complete the install on reboot!
I’m thinking some file is missing, perhaps from my HD that allows this installation/self registering/extraction to complete?

Thank you so much for any more ideas & help – it’s been driving me insane and I’m so not a techie.

How can I bypass Windows XP security?

Saturday 10 June 2006 @ 7:00 am
xp security


I have a Limited Account on my home computer, and I want to do things that require an Administrator Account. I have asked if I can have an Administrator Account, and the answer is no. So, I have to resort to trickery.

How can I bypass the security measures in place? Whether it’s finding out the administrator password, making windows believe I have an administrator account, whatever.
