Activate Telnet Client on DV900T with preinstalled Vista Ultimate 64 bit

Hi,

I have an HP DV9000T preinstalled with Vista Ultimate 64-bit, I wanted to activated Telnet Client, but it came up with a very cryptic message "An error has occurred, not all the features ...". In fact, I could not turn on any features which have not already activated by HP. Could any one help? Is it a limitation of the HP OEM Vista?

Thank you in advance for your help.

 

It sounds like a problem with Administrator permissions (even though your ID may have administrator rights). I read and article on this recently but cannot find it at the moment. Do a Google on the subject this might show something.

 

Hi Ratty,

Thank you for your response. I do indeed have administrative right and I googled for the problem with Admin right to no avail. If by chance you had the link to the solution, could you please post it here?

Thank you in advance,

 

Could you provide a Belarc Advisor Output, so I can see what's going on?

 

Hi, I am still looking for the orignal article but in the meantime I have found these instructions to set / rest security options:

From the Control panel / Administrative Tools (or what ever it's called now in Vista):

Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options

the names of the keys are all under

User Account Control: Run All Administrators In Admin Approval Mode

Set this to "Disable". You do *not* need to log out for this to take effect in my testing, but again, this is a later build of Vista than Rick had.

All the "User Account Control" settings in this area mitigate the above complaints and are worth investigating.
