Due to Corrupt Regisrty files I had to repair XP following intructions in
307545. This only partially worked and part way through this session I had
to activate XP again. The 3 user accounts I had set up originally all had
Administrator access. Now none of them seem to have this level of access. I
can't access certain files, I cannot do anything on the control panel menu, I
can't even check out problems on the microsoft website because I don't have
access to OK the ActiveX controls.

Any help would be much appreciated.

My only option at the moment appears to be to reinstall XP.
