Microsoft "Support" site

Greetings!

I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 and went to Microsoft's support site to search the forums to answer a few questions.

After my search, topics are listed, but when I click the title to view the answers I get the response "You are not authorized to perform this action." I have a valid, registered copy of Windows 7 and I registered on the Microsoft support site using my real name and email address.

Does anyone know why Microsoft would restrict access to user support forums and how I can gain privilege to view the answers?

Thanks again!

Brian

BTW, the question I was looking for was "Is there a TweakUI for Windows 7? "

 

Sorry. The site I went to is http://support.microsoft.com/ and I searched for "TweakUI "

 

Same problem here.

But I can click on any other topic except "Is there a TweakUI for Windows 7" thread & it would open normally.

Strange.

 

You could try THIS site. A specific Windows support forum.

1. An earlier thread here at WindowsBBS gave a link for one of those programs:

http://www.windowsbbs.com/windows-7/88849-tweakui-windows-7-a.html

2. As far as windows forums, the site supported by Microsoft is about as official as it gets. You can always ask there if you have a question about any MS product:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx

They have specific forums for versions of Windows, MS Office, etc.

 

Good idea. I just tried Internet Explorer (I usually use Firefox), but got the same results.

 

Thanks Roger! Great looking site. I'll give it a whirl!
