Activate Guest account (and other users)

[recyclebin5]

How do I do to activate the guest account? It's activated in windows xp through controllpanel, user, guest etc.
I'm the only one registreted at the computer (T60) as a user and the Admin. But when I log out to give access to Guest or other user I get the message: "Guest or "User" is not registrated." And when I try to registrate someone the only thing I can do is to erase or edit my own two registrated accounts.

How do I do to activate the guest account and/or a user so that CSS not deny those accounts to logiin?

Best regards

Hello Pb5,
I have an R52 and also only one registered account. My Guest account was off and I turned it on following the steps you mentioned (Control Panel, User Accounts, clicked Guest, clicked Turn On the Guest Account. I closed all windows and logged off. The Log In screen came up and my usual account was there along with Guest. I clicked it and the original Desktop came up. So, if you followed that procedure, I have no idea why it doesn't work for you. Are you on a network or domain? The procedure for that differs. Maybe try it one more time?

Did you also try to add a new user account the same way (Control Panel, User Accounts, click Create a new account)? If that didn't work either, I'm out of ideas. Corrupted Windows installation, perhaps?

Why do you want to enable the Guest account? Isn't this considered a security risk?

In any case, I think you need to have admin rights to create new or enable/disable existing users. If you have admin rights and it still doesn't work, then I'm out of ideas too.

this thread rightly belongs in the specific OS forum, not the T6x forum..
vista or XP..?
i won't mention W2k or win98..

but i'm moving it to general questions since the OP did not give that info..

How can this be related to this forum when it's Client Security Solution that be contrary. Windows XPSP2 is no problem. It's this Fort Knox CSS creation that claims a registation with fingerprint etc. Okey, I solved the problem but it's not a fancy solution with a couple of denials, bips etc before the welcomescreen suddenly shows up. I would call it some kind of makeshift. So the question remains. //PB5
