I do not know why you are talking about intall, I was saying that for
some reason the pop-up where I change disable the guest account was
grayed out- it was working before and weirdly is working now, a couple
of hrs after i wrote my previous post.

That is where I found it greyed out. But now it says "dsabled" instead
of "Not Applicable" like before and its not greyed out. I am not
trying to enable it.

I understand that- Sorry about that.
