My computer for some reason does not recognize me as an administator. There is only one user account on this computer. I am trying to reconnect my network laptop and desktop. I can access my laptop from my desktop but not my desktop from my laptop. From my staert menu there is no option to activate control panel and I can not do system restore either. Help please
