Internet browsers and internet refusing to work, think its a hardware problem?

So, I've just made an incredibly weird discovery. Internet works in Chrome (in normal mode!!) if I Run as Administrator. I don't get it.

And services needing the internet don't work still, like Yahoo Messenger. I guess because its not run as admin?

Any ideas why that would be, and what could fix it?

I noticed that in the FBR scan.

I've run out of ideas. The problem may be with the accounts. You should try to get that sorted out.

Well, I only have one account, and its set as administrator

According to this there is more than one account.

Administrator (S-1-5-21-2093609111-1690196408-3150272457-500 - Administrator - Disabled)
Guest (S-1-5-21-2093609111-1690196408-3150272457-501 - Limited - Disabled)
HomeGroupUser$ (S-1-5-21-2093609111-1690196408-3150272457-1005 - Limited - Enabled)
UpdatusUser (S-1-5-21-2093609111-1690196408-3150272457-1000 - Limited - Enabled) => C:\Users\UpdatusUser
user (S-1-5-21-2093609111-1690196408-3150272457-1001 - Administrator - Enabled) => C:\Users\user

I don't understand why it would say that, there's literally just my account. This is a screenshot from the account page:

It says the adm. account is disabled. Can you verify if this account is working?

The Dani account is the account I see or ever use. I thought that was the admin account? Its the one I've been using this whole time

*the only account

Ok, it shows the adm account is disabled. Could try creating a new guest account to see if it disabled or enabled. You can alway delete the guest account later.

How do I create another guest account? Or do you mean just another account in general? Set as standard, or admin?

Set it as standard.

Okay, and sorry but I'm not sure what I'm checking by doing this? Am I just looking to see if another account shows up?

Okay so I managed to find and reactivate the disabled Administrator account. But now I have no idea what to do. When I go into manage accounts on the Admin account, there's nothing about internet settings on my other account. I would just use the admin account but all my docs/pics/other stuff is on the Dani account...

Ok, the Dani account is the Adm. account and it is now enabled. I just thought that this was the reason why your internet was not working. I've run out of ideas.

Alright. At this point I'm saving everything onto an external hard drive in preparation to wipe the damn laptop and hope that fixes any messed up settings. Do you think I should do that?

Also how exactly do I restore to factory settings? Its been a while since I wiped anything.

Do you have the Windows 7 disk(s)? If not, do you have recovery disks? If not, you must have the Recovery on a separate drive on your computer. Look for the D drive. Before you do anything else you should get that problem you had with something sticking up inside the bottom of the laptop looked at.

There's no longer anything there.  I removed the piece that was sticking up and there was no damage underneath, thankfully.

I don't have the discs, I was never given any when I bought my laptop.

In that case the Recovery must be on your hard drive in a separate partition probably D:

So, I can't find a recovery partition.  My D: drive doesn't have one.  When I attempt the "Repair Your Computer" on the F8 boot screen, there doesn't seem to be any kind of option for me to restore to factory settings.  The "recover an image" part keeps asking for a backup disc or to find an image from the server, but I don't know what that means.  When I wiped my desktop a while back it had a partition

Edit: Nevermind, Lenovo has a built in recovery program thing. Trying it now.

So, I successfully restored the laptop to factory state, and everything seems to be working again. I have no idea what was wrong. o_O

I'm glad everything worked out for you.
