Computer help?
Forums › General Discussion › Computer help?-
For school we are givin laptops that we pay for. They are acers and all I have besides that is an old Mac. The problem is the school put on TONS of programs that limited stuff you do, so you can't even get Into cmd, or even download a regular program. I want to download silver light, by downloading it on another computer and transferring it to the acer, but my Mac is so old it won't even let me do that. Could someone help me with this?

I doubt you will be able to run the installer without administrator rights.
Can't you reinstall windows? Blank canvas then.
All user rights will be domain controlled, so unless you can access the Active Directory I don't really know what to suggest -
Thanks, but I think you can't even do that...

Oh, gag n stare.

I'll help you with it when I get home from class.

There's always Hirens boot cd or a gaggle of other live cd's. You can boot all sorts of Linux flavors and some versions of windows as well. Another option is a bootable USB drive if the laptop will support it, using like BartPE or something.

If you don't have to give it back, a fresh install is the way to go. Just make sure you don't need something the school has preinstalled.
Silver light? Do you need that for Internet explorer? Make the switch to Firefox, you can always run that from a USB stick through the portable apps USB install.

Lets start with trying this(not saying that it will work, but it used to for my school computers.)
While on the desktop, right click and click on new. A subsection will appear with different documents, folders, and archives that you can create.
Click on text document and then type:
@echo off
command
command.com
pauseThen go to file>save as>Save the file name is cmd.bat
If that doesn't work then take out command & command.com and put cmd between the @echo off and pause. If this doesn't work then message me on turfwars and I'll walk you through another method

Another thing you can check is other user accounts. Sometimes the administrator profile has no password. Additionally, you may try a NT Password reset live cd that will remove the password from an account.

Or start it up in safe mode and remove all passwords. Dunno if that works all the time but worked for me a couple of times.😉

If you need to ask these questions it will be less painful for you to just buy a new one. Modify your school one at your risk, chances are a reload will break a lot of school stuff and you will be found out. If silverlight was that important they would install it for you.

My public school had this. We found ways around the user rights but I have since forgot.
