Ex Boyfriend's computer!

Help please,

Don't have the boyfriend anymore (a good thing) but still have our computer. Problem is, it calls me a guest and still puts his name on everything! How do I delete his account on Win98 and make me the primary user?

This is also ******** up other accounts (ie Norton Internet Security) because it says his account is the Supervisor and won't let me change anything! aargh!

thanks,
Patti

 

If you have the WIN98 CD or in the case of some computers a recovery disk then the easiest fix is to start from scratch. Format the HD and reinstall everything.

 

What type of login, Microsoft Family Logon [presents a list], Windows Logon, or Client for Microsoft Networks?

 

Hmmmmmmmm? Sounds like "his computer" became "our computer" and is about to become "my computer ". Go for it ....

Reformat it and reinstall unless there's an outside chance that you're going to recycle that boyfriend.

Dear Tech Support (re: Upgrade from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0)

Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0, and noticed that the new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting modules, severely limiting access to wardrobe, flower and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as DinnerDancing 7.5, CruiseShip 2.3, and OperaNight 6.1, and installed new, undesirable programs such as SaturdayFootball 5.0, Golf 2.4 and ClutterEverywhere 4.5. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and HouseCleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. Can you help please?

Dear Jane:
This is a very common problem which is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 with no idea that Boyfriend 5.0 is merely an ENTERTAINMENT package, while Husband 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM, designed by its Creator to run as few applications as possible. Further, you cannot uninstall, delete or purge Husband 1.0 and reinstall Boyfriend 5.0, as hidden operating files within your system would simply cause Boyfriend 5.0 to crash. May I suggest that you read the section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs) within the help screen. This is a wonderful feature of Husband 1.0,secretly installed by the parent company as an integral part of the operating system, but unknown to most users. To activate this feature enter the command: "C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME ". Sometimes Tears 6.2 must be run before entering the command. Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Apologize 12.3 and Flowers 7.8. TECH TIP! Avoid excessive use of this feature, overuse can create additional and more serious GPFs. Overuse can also cause Husband 1.0 to default to GrumpySilence 2.5, or worse yet, to Beer 6.0. Beer 6.0 is a very bad program that causes Husband 1.0 to create "FatBelly" files and "Snoring Loudly" wave files which are very hard to delete. A word of caution - DO NOT, under any circumstances, install MotherInLaw 1.0. or Soapies 2.5. These are not supported applications, and will cause selective shutdown of Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory, causes errors, and cannot learn new applications quickly. Consider buying additional software to improve performance. I personally recommend HotFood 3.0, Lingerie 5.3 and Patience 10.1.
