So I did a fresh install of the new build and when I looked at the user account it was set to standard and not administrator. So I redid the install and when I looked at the user type it was administrator. Cool. I just tried to move a folder and got the I don't have sufficient privelages to do so. I looked at the user type for the account and what do you know...it's on standard. I can't change it no matter what I try. Even if I log in as the local Administrator I can't change it. In fact when I click on Manage Users no accounts show up at all!!! I'm simply on a home network with a workgroup and not a domain. It's nice to be able to block certain aspects of system properties and all but when I'm the main admin of my own home network it's silly to think I can't even be an admin even when I'm logged in as the local administrator! I'm a systems engineer for Sony Pictures so I know that it's not me that's doing this! Everything was fine on build 5384(I think that was the last build I was on) and ever since installing this build it's become ever so confusing as to what is truly going on here.Any insight to this that I may be overlooking here? ThanksOpus

On what build is this occuring? What exactly are the screens/prompts you see and the responses you choose?

New build, 5742. No prompts, just simply went to the user account page and went to change type...it's set to standard. I change it to Admin, save changes then go back and nothing has changed. Even if I try this as the Administrator it does the same thing. When I do any changes no prompts or screen changes in any way. Just seems very broken to me.Opus

I've been having the same problem on 5472 x64. I've also noticed that if I try to change my account picture, no pictures are displayed. In fact, in the main User Accounts CP window my picture is not displayed. I cannot even add any additional accounts, either as Standard or Administrator. Very weird :x

Please submit a bug report on this. Thanks.

I'm new at this and no longera hard core IT Pro so please forgive my lack of trouble shooting skills.I appear to have the same problem on a Vista Ultimate installation.All account types appear to be "standard" however I have not been denied access to some services when I am in an administrator accounts. For example, I can enter an administrator password when prompted to do so from a standard account.I was not able to change folder permissions but I was not aware of theaccount type glitch at the time so I just attributed it to my knowledge (I don't do it very often). Hope this information is some help in tracking down the problem.
