Have a rented student shared house with a landlords
shared computer, students cannot get online using
their 'user' account, except one that is the Wireless
Broadband network website, with all their links, but not
any others, comes up with the usual white screen 'unable
to access'... yet when go onto my Administrator account,
can access all websites, with no problems! Can anyone
explain why this is, and a correction for it? Have
scanned with Ad-aware and Spybot, and also done a system
restore to when they could get online. As the students
are paying to be online, would like this to be sorted as
quickly as possible? Just cannot explain why this should
happen, have spoken to the Broadband supplier, and done
what was suggested, to no avail. Have Norton anti-virus
2004 installed and XP SP2. Would a windows 'repair'
correct this? or would adding another 'user' account
solve the problem? Any help would be useful. Thanks in
anticipation
