"Access denied" message when using Windows Media Player on my windows based computers.

Put all my music on an external hard drive.  Meticulously organized all the metadata on my Windows XP PC WMP (version 11) and my window 7 PC WMP (version 12).  Now, I get an "access denied" message for my music folder on my XP machine.  The new WMP restricted me to access this folder on all, but my Windows 7 box?  I take my external hard drive from room to room (study, gameroom,...) so I can listen to my music wherever I go in my house.  Should what changes I make to allow me to listen to my music on my different computers?

Make sure that the group Everyone has read at least the permissions on all the objects on the disc.  Set the permissions on the root folder and then use inheritance to propagate permissions to all items on the disc.  See here for the typical instructions: http://windows-xp-full.net/Que-Special.Edition.Using.Micr1/0789732807/ch28lev1sec8.html

    I use Firefox version with an OS Ubuntu LTS 14.04 33.0. I get a 403-Forbidden: access denied message when trying to access my mail from Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA).

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get my Firefox browser on the Ubuntu machine to be able to access my email on OWA?

  • I get an "access denied" message when you try to access my restored files. What should I do?

    Some users have received an "access denied" message when you try to access their files restored once a recovery has been performed.  This can occur using Windows backup or backup HP (HP Recovery Manager).  They can see the files and folders, but they can do something with them, as the security check to fail.

    This occurs because the permissions from the previous installation are also saved with the files and it is a failure on the new system because the files have not been created on this particular installation of Windows.

    However, there is a way to solve this error.  Users can adapt the files and this should resolve the access denied"" message.

    Here is a guide which explains how to do this.

    I hope this helps with this particular issue.

    You are using a bookmark, or you start with the homepage (home) on this Web site?

    If you use a bookmark to open a specific page on the server and then try to navigate to this page from the home page or the page of connection Web site where this bookmark is currently suspended.

    Best is to avoid the bookmarking a specific page which has been achieved by sending POST data in a (hidden) form or bookmarking a page that contains the GET data added to the URL (? xxx = xxx) or links to a specific area in the case where load balancing is used because they can easily get broken if changes are made to the server.

  • distortion sound when using the media player but not any other media suite e.g., be able to go

    I have a new samsung 305th and sound playback for the media player is distorted on the helmet and built in speaker, but all the others like suite of media and power go her crystal clear. makes all kinds of settings and checked sound card, what is the problem? Fix, it has found a problem but says to contact the manufacturer.

    Hello

    1. what fixit did you run?
    2 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

    Carry out the methods to solve the problem.

    Method 1
    Run the troubleshooting windows media player setting and check if the problem persists. Follow the steps described in the following link:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-settings-Troubleshooter

     

    Method 2

    Try disabling audio enhancements and check if that helps.

    (a) open her by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type sound, and then click sound.

    (b) on the playback tab, click speakers, and then click Properties.

    (c) click the enhancements tab, and then select the checkbox disable all improvements .

    If you do not see the enhancements tab in the speakers properties dialog box, these features are not available for your speakers, and this procedure is not applicable to your computer.

    If disabling audio enhancements solves the audio problem you are having, this indicates usually that your audio driver needs to be updated.

    Also remove the audio codec in Windows Media Player.

    (a) open windows media player, and then press Alt key.

    (b) click on Tools, select plug-in and click on the option.

    (c) select plug-ins tab, and then under category, click Audio DSP.

    (d), select all the files in the DSP Audio box and click Remove.

     

    Method 3: Check if the problem persists in the boot.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Trunk / normal boot - access denied message: may have to open a session using the admin account to make specified changes

    I went into safe mode to try to resolve a problem that is "slow". When I tried to goback to normal startup, I got an access denied message. "... May have to login using the admin account to make specified changes." I am the only user of the computer and administer and logged as soon as I turn on count it. What can I do now?

    Is this the message you see:

    "An access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. You may need to log on using an administrator account to perform the changes specified"

    If so, I bet you have a HP printer, because there is an HP PML driver that produces this effect of nuisance. It is only a nuisance and you should still be able to make your changes of msconfig, and they should stick. However, if she is really bugging you, you can watch this:

  • Error 0 x 80070570 when you access my flash drive using windows 7

    I get an error 0 x 80070570 when you access my flash drive using windows 7, but the same flash drive works perfectly on two other PC's with Windows XP. It's frustrating because I need to backup and transfer files.

    Hello
     
    1 you get an error message with this error code?
    2. is it a problem with this particular flash drive only or all flash drives?

    Let us run the check disk utility.
    Here's how:
    a. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
    b. click the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
    c. click on the Tools tab and then, under error-checking, click Find now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
    d. Click Start.
     
    Depending on the size of your drive, it may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.
     
    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

    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.
