Need to have Administrative status?
Alll of a sudden my W98 tells me I need Administrator Status (or similar
words) to access System Monitor. I have a connected LAN (Laptop running XP), and have done for a long time. It has never asked me for this before. How do I get round this problem? |

If you are getting a logon prompt asking you for a name and password, and
you click the Cancel button to get past that prompt, that can cause this problem. -- Richard G.

No, I am not getting a password prompt at logon. I purposely did not do this
as I am the only user. I still get the abitity to change settings etc. It only seems to have happened after I loaded 'System Monitor' from the W98 CD. I do not get the message anywhere else.

Try this - click the Start button, then use the log off menu item. When you
are prompted to log back on again, put in a name but no password, then confirm the "new" password at the next prompt. See if your problem goes away then. It should. -- Richard G.

Tried this but still cannot access System Monitor. I have tried deleting
System Monitor, (tick box in Settings/add remove programs/windows setup) and re-install but find it does not re-install and cannot find sysmon.exe on the W98 CD. (I have had a load of problems with Macafee Firewall and wonder whether this has caused the problem. I have manually uninstalled/reinstalled Macafee via registry. All Ok now) When I install System Monitor do I have to install all the System programs and then delete the ones I do not want? "Richard G. Harper" wrote in message ...

You should be able to install/uninstall the system tools individually.
