Upgrade from Win XP pro

[cc929]

HI,

After i upgrade Vista bus from Win Xp pro, I cannot install new printer driver and use administrator tools. When i try to run these programs, I will get error message. (C:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe - The specified path does not exist.) Check the path, and then try again.

Please help me to fix this problem!

Thanks

How is this driver installed, is there a Setup.exe that you click on? If there is try right-clicking on any exe file (even if you are logged on as an Admin) ans select the "Run as administrator" option.

Built-in Administrator Account Disabled

Hi Linney,

There is no setup.exe file.
I try to use any programs under administrator tools and I got this error message. That's mean, I cannot open any administrator toll program.

Thanks!

One thought I have is to use the Vista Easy Transfer program to save your Settings or use Backup or just manually copy to save your valuable data. Reformat the hard drive and install Vista clean.


What are your Access Permissions along this Path .... C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu\Programs\Administrative Tools, even as a Standard User I can access these folders and run the Tools at the end.
