OT: WinXP problem

January 13, 2002 9:37:55 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I'm hopeing someone here can help me with a "small" prob I got! I just installed WinXP Pro the other day and all was fine but now I can't access the "User Accounts" from the Control Panel anymore! I do have Admin rights so that's not the problem!
I'm haveing no other problems accessing anything else in the Control Panel.
I really hope someone can help me solveing this tricky problem!!

Thanks in advance!

I take it that the "User Accounts" applet icon appears in your control panel, but when you click on it nothing happens. If so - have you tried logging off and then relog in on the Administrator account and do you get access then.

leqin: Yes nothing happens when I click the icon. The same goes when I click the "logo" at the top of the Start menu.
Yes I have tried loggin in on the Administrator account but with the same result!

Okay well your best bet is to go to the top

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/default.asp

thats the page for all the Microsoft Newsgroups for XP. I think you need to visit either the Security and Administration, or the Setup and Deployment group. You should find plenty of people in there - lots of MVPs who should be able to sort this out pretty quick for you.

Problem solved! The reason for my worries was that it appeared that I had a massive virus attack!!!! My system some how got infected by the PE_Weird and W95/Kuang.GR vira!
How this happend I do not know, I have recieved no "funny" mails lately but my firewall was kinda messed up so it might have "sneaked" in the back door in one way or another. But anyways, I got a nice and clean system now and access to all applications!!

 I told you I would... but yeah I had to reinstall.. About 95% of all .exe files on the boot drive was infected
But now all is "fine", got a clean and healthy system once again and a virus detecter/clean running in background!!
