• Can not save anything - access denied-, but using account Admin

  I have Windows 7 and whenever I try and save something in my user folder, it says access denied because I'm not an Admin - but I am - and it then asks me to save it in the folder of the previous user that has some sort of lock on him, so I can't delete it. There is only 1 account (mine), but it still won't let me save files anywhere, but the locked admin folder. How to remove or unlock it? I'm minutes to throw my screen by the window. I tried prntscrn'ing the problem, but it wouldn't let me save the MS paint doc!

  Your very first step with a used computer is to do a clean install of Windows. Not sure what problems you inherited from the original owner. If you don't want to not do it (not recommended), and then as new accounts work very well do yourself a new Standard for the daily user and keep one new account administrator for your account 'CompAdmin' as described in the above recommended. Copy the data from your old account to your new account Standard user and then delete the old user account. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  The symptoms are:
  -Windows cannot install any driver of all new storable USB device that I connect to my computer, only the previously used one are recognized and properly displayed in the Explorer. For any I get a message saying that Windows cannot find the driver, even if I manually pick up the correct driver to the correct location, it does not install.
  -I can not throw more my computer-> right button Device Manager, I get a message saying that it cannot be launched, but I always open it manually goes \System32 to reach the file.
  -From the command line, I get an "access denied" to any program of system, I try to use, such as SECEDIT to reset as described in file permissions:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222

  If someone knows how to fix these on \Windows file/folder permission issues?

  Thanks for any advice,

• 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.

• Access denied re-installation Photosmart 2610

  Hello

  I use a 2610 all-in-one PS in a 5 PC LAN for a couple of years - very pleased with it indeed.

  Recently, I did a few PC updates and necessary to re - install the driver and began to fall on the access denied"" message.

  Operating systems are XP Home and XP Pro, and in both cases, I can't through the installation. The Pro gives me the message, and the House blocking the installation.

  I think it's a problem between XP and the driver, because XP is always automatically updated.

  I also have a laptop running Vista, the installation was easy and I can print, scan and do everything by WiFi - as you wish.

  My problem becomes critical, because most Office XP computers enter the 2610 not more.

  I tried the support chat, but they couldn't get it fixed.

  Anyone also report this problem could you PLEASE hep me?

  For those who might be strugling to this question - I had resolved it through HPs site.

  3. click on start
  4. type the three letters cmd and press ENTER.
  5. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:

  (Answer "Yes" when prompted "Are you sure?")

  during the execution of these actions I get access denied errors config.msi and system volume information.

  I can't download files on drive d or install some programms on this, but I can copy files to it very well and open the files of it. I really don't want to format this drive, if it can be avoided.

  Hello

  I see that you are getting the error message access denied.

  Quick questions:

  1. Installation of operating system?
  2. Is d: drive your recovery disk?

  You can click with the right button on the "run cmd.exe as Administrator" and then repeat the steps you mentioned in your post.

  Note:

  The system volume information may still get access denied, which is normal. It is not recommended to change it.

• access denied to all even at the computer and I cand system, user, restricted, access account settings restore access denied, troubleshooting work do not

  I have reset my windows settings under user accounts, now features are unusable, access is denied, even for me, how can I get that back, System Restore is also refused access and troubleshootin online does not work?

  I don't know if you've already tried this, but try to start in safe mode, from there, you should be able to connect to the 'administrator' built into account (by default the administrator account does work in safe mode), so it allows you, try to do a system restore.

  I am trying to install a software, but I get this message in Admin: access denied! You don't have enough power words to activate this function.

  LMV,

  I hope that you do not have too much of your own data personal on the computer yet, because if you used I would suggest that you reinstall the operating system to solve these problems.

  Go to http://partsurfer.hp.com and enter your name/product number in the search field. The results that arise should include a restore CD that you can order to perform the reinstallation. Yet once, please make sure to save any personal data that you have put on the computer before attempting this.

  Possibilities:

  1. you are not the administrator. You don't have to enter the admin password valid when he asked for it.

  2. you probably have the problem with the infection by the virus.

  If you ARE the admin, suggestions:

  a. run a full scan.

  b. If the machine is clean, do your Safe Mode system restore.

  How to go in safe mode?

  Restart > immediately and repeatedly tapping the F8 key until you see a black and white scree > top? Touch down arrow, and then select Safe Mode > Enter > now that you are using safe mode. Make your system restore.
