"Access denied" error when updating driver

My monitor is an HP w2207h (screen 22 "HD flat).  I get "Access denied" error when you try to manually update the driver by using Device Manager.  When I use the installation of HP or Windows Update utility, I just got a message that an error has occurred.  I've recently updated my NVIDIA driver using windows update (VISTA 64).  On reboot, I get a message asking me to select a driver for my HP flat screen monitor.  When I try to install the driver by using the auto option or by downloading manually from HP, I get an "Access denied" error message.  I am the administrator on the computer.  Can you help me solve this problem?

It is alittle bit of a lenghty process, but it should help to solve the problem. Follow the steps in this KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539 to show the devices 'hidden' in Device Manager. Browse the list of drivers installed for the graphics card and remove all drivers that are "grayed out" then uninstall the drivers for your monitor. Restart the system and try to install the driver at that time here.

What can be produced is installed the drivers can interfere with the currently installed driver and this should allow the system to update the driver correctly.

  • Task Manager give me an access denied error when I try to set the affinity or end a process.

    Hello
    I tried to change some of the settings of my PC compared to a game do not set up for dual-core systems.
    I tried to change the affinity settings in the Task Manager and I get an error of access denied even if I have one in an administrator account. I am the only user of this system and it is very frustrating to be unable to edit my own settings.  I am running Vista 32 home edition on a system of dual-core AMD.
    I also tried to change the affinity with the line of the command prompt and change the shortcut to do so, but this did not succeed. The command prompt will not find the program and when I use the shortcut to set the affinity with the command prompt, it didn't he open the window command prompt and nothing else.  If someone could give me a hand here, I'd appreciate it.  I am familiar with specific vagaries of Vista and I'm getting a little angry.

    Do you have UAC turned on?

    If you do, then, when you're in the Manager of tasks under the processes tab, select "Show processes from all users" accept the UAC prompt.
    This will be the the Task Manager with your administrator privileges. You should now be able to set the affinity.

  • How can I fix an 'Access denied' error when connecting to mySQL database to a site (I'm sure I can get...)

    Hello

    I had a search on the forums and I don't see anyone with the same problem so I apologize if this has been asked before.

    I need to connect a database to a Web site so that members can register and save it to some pages (not all pages - only a 'members only' section).

    I created the database, tested and it works very well (I used XAMMP/PHPmyAdmin).

    In DreamWeaver CS6, I chose the type of document from the page (PHP) and set up the testing server. If I go to site Configuration > server for the site and click on test, it connects successfully. Note that the test server is hosted at the University, that I work - there is a password required, but I entered it on the test set up server and it seems connects very well, as I get the message successfully at this stage.

    When I go to connect the mySQL connection and select the database I get the error "access is denied. The file exists may not, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have permission on the server and the server is properly configured. »

    Any ideas? It's driving me crazy!

    I understand that after several unsuccessful searches on Google, so I post the solution here for someone else with the same question that could end up here.

    If you configure your test server in the inetpub/wwwroot/folder then Dreamweaver cannot make changes (such as adding files) unless you are running as an administrator, so it occurred to me that maybe the database connections are also affected.  Of course, as soon as I leave Dreamweaver and restarted as an administrator, I was able to connect to the MySQL database using the databases Panel.  If you don't know how to run a program as an administrator, it is pretty easy: just right click on Dreamweaver icon and select "Run As Administrator" when you start the program.  There are a lot of tutorials out there that can give you the necessary steps for always loads a program as an administrator if you don't do right click every time.

    Version: Dreamweaver CC 2015.

  • Access denied error when the output directly in a shared folder in Windows 7

    I have two workstations, the first working (PC1) of Windows Server 2008 R2 and the other work (PC2) of Windows 7 Professional.

    I work on PC1 using the app called "MetaDimention" dealing with PDF files and generates output files as a separation of colors (CMYK color separation) TIFF files. The problem arises when I intend to exit that TIFF files generated by "MetaDimention" directly in the shared folder on the PC2 via the network "workgroup."

    The 'MetaDimention' gives me the error message: JobTicketMerger: the data output destination '\\EQCENTER1\TiffOut' is not valid (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED).

    where "\\EQCENTER1\TiffOut" is the path to the folder shared network on PC2.

    I noticed this problem when I using Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, 2012 as an output destination, but there is no problem when the destination using windows server 2003 path.

    I tried to Google the error message generated by the Application of MetaDimention and I found this thread on the other forum:

    MetaDimension output error - problem

    I have the same problem exactly as mentioned, it has, after several positions the person who asked about the problem, he said that he had found the solution by changing some services started as LocalAccount user! but I do not understand what it does exactly. and here's the quote from his original message: "solved!" some services started as LocalAccount, replaced by the user and all ok.

    Please tell me what can I do to solve this problem in some detail.

  • Impossible to update of Windows Media Player and Microsoft Security Essentials and the error is "access denied error 80070005."

    Apparently an involuntary change of administrative privileges or permissions (Windows XP Pro, SP3) keeps me updated Media Player version 9 to 11 v. and updated virus Security Essentials definitions.
    For Media Player, wmsetup.log reports access denied error 80070005 and UpdSpAPI.log reports access denied for the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Settings\MP3Encoding\LowRate registry key. In regedt32, I'm blocked from display HKLM\...\MediaPlayer\Settings and below, and "are allowed to view the current permission settings, but... can make a change." Except that I can't. I can enter the change but get «...» Access is denied"trying to apply them. So this is the first problem that I need help.
    But of course it's more than a registry key and the subkeys, because MSE too is affected and will download but not install virus definitions. WindowsUpdate.log reports: failed to install with error 80070643.
    My user account (it's the only one!) is part of the Administrators group and all that I tried to verify administrative permissions is positive. This is a new issue. No virus/malware, according to MSE, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, MalWarebytes Anti-Malware.

    Hi Kim,

    If your using a hub powered between the deviec and the computer, you might try without the hub.

    You can also go to Device Manager, click the view tab and select Show hidden devices.

    Then, you can remove all instances of your USB drives and restart the PC.

    Try the USB drive again to see if the problem is resolved.

  • "Access denied" error XP trying to access an external hard drive used on Windows 7

    Hello

    I used my external hard drive as usual on my XP machine for months, but yesterday I had to use it on another computer running Windows 7. Windows 7 asked something like "do you want to enable access to this hard drive?" and I clicked Yes thinking that it wouldn't cause any problems (showed a green bar that drains into the upper part of the window), but now that I'm trying to use it again on my XP machine I get an access denied error such as permissions changed. I just installed service pack 3, but which did not help.

    Help it would be greatly appreciated the fixing, I'm happy to just continue to use the external drive on my XP machine - use it on other Windows 7 machine was just one time.

    Thank you!
