I use XP Home Edition, am the administrator and have recently run into many
problems. They seem to center around not being able to properly function as
the computer administrator.
For example, when trying to format a CD, I get the message "Your user
account setting will not allow you to perform this operation. You must be
designated as a computer administrator to format this disc. Consult your
system administrator (me!) or the Windows Help file for information on
changing your user account."
I have looked in the Help file to no avail and searched for answers on line
but still have this problem.
I have tried System Restore and receive the message that the restore was
incomplete because "no changes were made" and yet Windows automatically
downloaded 2 files just last week. I even tried restoring to 3 months ago
and it wouldn't work.
There are several other problems occuring, but all seem related to not being
able to function fully as system administrator. Any help will be appreciated.

Are you having issues with programming with Microsoft .Net? If not I
would recommend posting in one of the XP newsgroups maybe
microsoft.publi c.windowsxp.gen eral

This is a newsgroup for programmers. All webpages with URLs that begin with http://msdn.microsoft.com are part of the MSDN website, which is for
programmers, administrators, etc.
The Microsoft website seems to be lading a lot of people here. I think you

First, I'm new to Python. I'm getting and error when I run Python
2.5.2 as a regular user in Vista but not when I run Python as an
administrator.
For example, if I type "import numpy" after I launch python from an
adminstrator-privileged command window it loads fine. However, from a
regular-user command window I get:

I have a new computer with Windows 7 64bit. I loaded Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro onto it. I set up the PDF printer under my administrator account and my user account. Permissions have been set to allow the same rights to both accounts. When I log on as administrator the PDF Printer works as expected. But when I log on as a user, it does not work. No error messages. Nothing in the print cue.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
