Running Vista Business on a Dell Latitude 630. Setup my daughter's account (admin privs as she's taking it off to college). The other day she reported "Nothing works". You can login fine, but when you try to execute any program you get "Windows cannot access the specified device.... You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." The admin account I'd setup for myself works fine. Was able to create a new account for her. However, as she'd setup a lot of things in the old account, I'd love to be able to get it back working.

User directory in "Users" folder seems fine.

Thanks!

Jay

Are you sure that account is set to admin?

Positive. Even changed the account type to standard and then back again to administrator to see if that did anything. It didn't. One more thing, the oldest System Restore was after the problem happened, so restoring didn't help.
