Pls i have a laptop with window 8. I wanted to instal some softwares it keeps telling me that i dont have the administrator's right to do it. Some of the software i downloaded did not instal. How do i change my user account control of my laptop to administrator. I have not connected it to any pc network just a lone pc. Urgent pls. I need the step by step guide. God bless u.

how many users are on that system?
only the Administrator account is permitted to make modifications/install apps on a system
The easiest way to know the number of users on your system is by typing USERS on the start menu and then click MANAGE USER ACCOUNTS

Most likely, it needs to be serviced and about the occasional crack sound, maybe you should just take it to an engineer for general servicing

I use an Acer mini laptop. Just recently, I noticed that the touchpad gets hot while using the laptop. On trying to find out what the problem is, I noticed that the CPU fan wasn't working and as a result, the PC now generates a lot of heat during prolonged usage.

Please, can this CPU fan be fixed or rather, what can be done about it?

Thanks

Unscrew the laptop, take out the fan(take fan to shop) & buy replacement.

It is unprofessional and a technical bluff to advice someone who is not trained to disassemble laptop devices to do so by themselves. Of course you should know better that an accidental pulling-off of a motherboard chip can put paid to the life of the laptop.

Even at times , trained engineers get into trouble just by disassemblying a laptop and coupling it back only to find out it has developed more issues.
So let's be careful on the advice we give clients here .

Taking out the fan is probably one of easiest replacements to undertake.
If he feels it's too technical, he would seek professional advice..............
If he has no clue, YouTube videos are plentiful to teach and direct............

next time slot in the drive containing the operating system you want to reload (either flashdrive or CD) Now switch on your laptop and press F12 repeatedly to enter boot options. When boot option menu comes , use the arrow keys to navigate to your installation drive and click enter.
