Two problems I am trying to solve. There's some other things, but this might clear them up too--Windows XP Home SP2--
First One: When I try to run System Restore from the start menu, a window pops up saying "System Restore has been turned off by group policy. To turn on System Restore, contact your domain Administrator." There is two users on this computer, Family and Guest. I can see from the start menu that I've been logged in as Family. My first thought was I needed to create an administrator user or give Family administrative priviledges. I found out in control panel => users that Family already is the administrator.
Our home has a wireless setup using a Linksys Wireless G Router. There are two laptops that connect wirelessly while our desktop, this computer, is hardwired because of reception issues. Our home network is not setup to share anything between computers, so I think any domain administrator has to be local to this computer. That's as far as I 've gotten.
Second One: When executing some programs, a window appears saying "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into the drive." They are three buttons to choose: Cancel, Try Again, and Continue. Clicking Continue or Cancel closes the window as another immediately pops up. On one program I'm trying to run, the windows are infinite and I can't use the program. That program is on CD, if that matters.
If the error refers to the harddrive, it may be relevant that Windows has mapped the single harddrive to F: instead of C:. I thought maybe these programs try to access the C: drive instead of F:.
I appreciate anyone who takes the time to help.
