Re: Account types changed from Administrator to Standard User

NEW THOUGHT

MAYBE the reason the Change Account button greys out when I click on the
Administrator button (see comments below) is that the account is STILL an
Administrator account and it can't change from itself to itself. That would
be good news!! But then the question would be "why are there administrative
priviledges that seem to have disappeared"? I will work on narrowing the
problem down a little more and do a different post.

I bought a Vista computer for my wife last Summer. She (as the owner) had
administrator priviledges, so I used her account to set up another one for
myself, also as administrator. Recently there have been a number of things
we could do anymore so I checked the account types, and both are set to
Standard User, even though we are still listed as Administrators (along with
our User Names and Password status) next to the icon on the user pages. In
the Change Account Type screen where it lists the account as Standard User,
if I check the the Administrator radio button the Change Account Type button
greys itself out and won't permit a change. The only other account is the
Guest account and it has not been activated. How can we recover from this??
