My administrator account is corrupted, so I can’t access it or give permission from it in my other accounts. I have the windows 7 cd and all my data backed up, all I need to do now is to reinstall the OS. But I haven’t found a way to do that without having to give permission (which i can’t). Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a tecra that I got minus the OS disk. It needs a reformat, and came with an XP PRo license sticker. Can I use a generic XP install cd to put XP back on using the original license number?

I have an xp pro cd that I bought (not OEM – new in box from retail store) and installed on a computer I have. Now I want to install it on a different computer. How do I make the transition to switch the license to the new computer?

The laptop is wireless. I have installed the printer on the laptop which clearly shows it. I leave the main computer on then press print on the laptop. It comes up with an error message. The laptop uses Vista, the main computer uses XP. I don’t want to use wires and the printer can’t be connected to the router via an ethernet cable. Is there a way to do what I am trying to do or do Vista and XP clash?
