Hello,
WHILE TRYING OUT THE MSN NETWORK I BECAME CONFUSED WITH MY WINDOWS INTERNET PASSWORDS AND MY MSN USER ID'S AND PASSWORDS I WAS CHANGING INFO IN MY USERS FILE ON MY MSN WELCOME SCREEN AND MADE A MISTAKE WHICH CAUSED ME TO DISABLE MY ADMINISTRATOR FILE. I AM USING THE GUEST LOGIN TO OPERATE MY PC BUT I HAVE LOST MY ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEDGES. CANNOT ACCESS FILES THAT WOULD HELP ME. I AM AT MY WITS END. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CANCELING THE MSN NETWORK BECAUSE IT WAS VERY CONFUSING TO ME. I AM 72 YEARS YOUNG AND WAS FINDING OUT THAT MY INTERNET EXPLORER WAS VERY SATISFING AFTER ALL. CAN ANYONE HELP ME? I HAVE NOTIFIED MSN OF MY CANCELLATION BUT IT IS STILL RUNNING ON MY PC. I THINK IT HAS ABOUT TEN DAYS TO GO. I TRIED GETTING HELP FROM THEM BUT I JUST GOT THE RUN AROUND. I WAS ON THE PHONE FOR HOURS FROM ONE TECH TO ANOTHER.
