I'm kinda stuck. Just got my laptop fixed from some fail repairman that lives in another city [Got ripped off, you could say]
Anyway, it had a major blue screen error, its a T61 Lenovo Thinkpad. I got it fixed by him, and now it can get to it and do everything. there's a new hard drive on it, but even on the 'Administrator' account I'm not able to install anything. Java won't install 'b/c of my net conection' -- Though its clear I'm wirelessly connected to the net. IE8 won't install any ActiveX, which makes no sense. I can't install a program of any sort because after downloading 'Internet explorer cannot find the specified file, area, etc. You do not have permission to access this area' (Something like that). If I save the setup and then try to download, I apparently lack access to my program files, too. (Though I can get to them, but I cannot edit them or do anything of the sort).
Reboot = No good, Nor is safe mode or anything of the sort.
So, to say it simple. All my newly fixed laptop can do is browse the internet on internet explorer and do offline stuff.
Its pretty lame :\
Any tips/Ideas who I should call/show it to?
