| | I am a computer engineer. The problem described in the OPs post is not a common one but usually indicates: a) limited user account not being able to save settings to the registry  a roaming profile ** this could be the issue as when the machine logs on it will download the users profile for the session and remote sessions tend to be in 800 x 600 modec) the operating system has not been correctly configured: unless there is a group policy in force, no home pc should be set up with limited user accounts, they don't work properly and even Microsoft have admitted they don't work (they say this will be fixed in Windows Vista which will be more akin to Unix in that it will run users unprivileged unless they "elevate" to super user (administrator level) d) from what has been described, I would log in as an admin on the computer, create a new user with admin privilege and migrate the user data to the new profile. |
