access denied - no one has permissions on a disk


: Under Vista, I accidentally set permissions on an external drive, so that no one has access to it.  I tried the system restore, but the player was not an option to choose.  Is there a way I can recover my data? Thank you.

  • Photoshop cs4 access denied when you try to install from disk in Windows 7 64 bit.

    Photoshop cs4 access denied when you try to install from disk in Windows 7 64 bit. I tried in

    safe mode and it starts to install, but get an error there as well.

    What should I do?

    So when you put the disk in it does not work properly? When the disc is inserted, you should have a window pop up with 2 options. 1. install and another to see what is on the disk. Choose to open the disc or explore. Navigate to the folder where is the photoshop CS4 .exe file (which runs the Setup program), right-click on the .exe file and choose Run as administrator and it should start. See if it will install. If this isn't the case, then read below.

    I don't know how long you got in the installation until so chances are, you will need to run the CS4 Cleanup utility. 2 levels to run but do not use 1 or 2 just type number 3.

    http://www.Adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html

    You may need to run the utility windows install cleanup too

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

    Before you try to reinstall the software make sure that adobe reader is not installed. If it is delete. It has caused problems in the past with vista and CS4 installs.

    You can also disable windows Defender and all antivirus software. You can keep UAC Windows 7.

    When installing CS4 to 90 percent, it stops almost and may take 5 to 10 minutes at the end. It's normal. What a pain huh...

    After the installation is complete, restart

    After restarting, go to the icon of CS4 64-bit or 32-bit (depends on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7) in the starting area, right-click on CS4 64-bit (if you have windows 7 64 bit), and then choose Properties, Compatibility tab, and then check run as administrator at the lower part. Hit apply, ok to finish.

    Now, run CS4 and run the update.

  • Windows live mail storage folder "access denied" even if the permissions are correct

  • Windows 7 Pro EFS and access denied

    Hi all

    I use Windows 7 Pro & recently my motherboard has not completely!

    Before that, the only indications of a problem seemed to be errors of IO, but Seagate tools etc etc says it all, it was

    Well! After some troubleshooting I replaced the SATA cable and everything seemed OK!

    So, I supported manually backed up 99% of my files on external drive 'My book' and others on my LAN drive!

    Also, I decided to install a new drive HARD Seagate 2 TB and used Macrium reflect to CLONE the OLD drive (C :) for her!

    When the motherboard is not / could not access drive etc etc, I have assumed that the drive had failed and decided to make a recovery - Norton Ghost recovered the system OP OK, BUT I wanted THEN RE-BOOT and the system could not do

    who... The MB has finally made the soul!

    Now that I have replaced the motherboard and I added a SSD Evo 850 and installed Win 7 Pro, I have re-installed the software, we come NOW to the crux of the matter!

    Under the former regime in my library of Documents I had an EFS encrypted file, well call him 'MyPvtStuff '.

    The NEW system, I have set up libraries develop NEW Seagate HDD and copied all libraries from the old to the NEW. On the audit of all the folders & files copied to the NEW libraries very well.

    I use a program called "BEYOND COMPARE [BC]" (CheckIt Out... NOT a gift, but a must-have tool) to confirm everything was OK and deleted the OLD files EXCEPT THE DOCUMENT ROOT directory.

    The access to the NEW "MyPvtStuff", I found the files still encrypted, BUT HAD 'ACCESS DENIED' and should have permissions to use them! Also, when I tried to DECRYPT!

    I tried the permissions and repossess and import certificates etc. etc. etc. ALL WITHOUT SUCCESS!

    After investigating the same problem on the web and try some tools copy etc, I found useful information "If you copy a file or folder across a network, the file/folder is DECRYPTED and then copied everywhere".

    So I was Lucky (good luck, no management) that I had copied the OLD "MyPvtStuff" and able to recover a number of file. Unfortunately, I had NOT backed up the most recent file.

    I have resorted to the "My Book" drive and found that the backup was also encrypted AND of coarse the really important the (year-end) etc. etc. are the one I need!

    I decided to start from the old drive cloned in the hope that I might be able to recover the files of encryption/diploma (you guessed it, I backup the encryption key/powers), it has Boot Ok BUT Windows wouldn't start, not really a surprise!

    Essentially, if I can locate the file encryption (whatever it is? and import to my system of work, I should be able to decrypt the files I NEED and what you need is an understatement!)

    Unfortunately, a lot of links referring to the technical support from Microsoft for Windows 7 are WITHOUT available and making it very difficult to get the information I need! If anyone has the s on which folder / files that I need to find so I can at least import the certificates that I'd LOVE to hear from you!

    Some additional info, I have the installer of the new system with the same user name and account profile, password etc.

    In safe mode does not help at all!

    Thank you very much

  • Update the registry access denied problem

    Hi all
    I use win7 ultimate x 64 as a MSDN. English version.

    This week I tried to install privateinternetaccess.com's private Internet access software.

    The installation failed and it turns out that I have some sort of error message access denied on updates of the register.

    I just tried to upgrade to the latest version of vmware player and I get this message:

    The MSI failed "C:\users" (the msi vmware)

    Could not write value for the \system\currentcontrolset\services\vmware\performance key. Check that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support team.

    Since this is the second product which complained access refused to write a registry entry, I think that the problem is really that there is a problem in writing to registry entries. I'm an admins on the machine and I am the only user of the machine. I have had the machine for three years so I admined in my user name years.

    I went looking for a restore point that is usually automatically created by windows update. But when I checked for restore points there is not. This seems odd. I've seen windows update tell me he was creating restore points.

    What I want to do is to see if I can go back to a previous state relatively easily. But I can not find the opportunity to go back through the windows update process. Because I thought that windows update took points of restoration and protection of the disks in drive C is turned on I didn't manually restore points.

    So my questions are:

    Q1. Has anyone seen a problem where the ability to write registry keys is suddenly disabled for a user who is an administrator? I can't imagine just trying to install privateinternetaccess has disabled my ability to update registry keys. There must be something else that would have caused this. I also had Director of windows fails, and I could not make it work for a few months. It could be related.

    Q2. If I did not restore points manually and the disk protection is enabled for the drive C and windows update has updated the operating system for years. How should I go back a month or two, through the windows update option? Is it possible to do?

    Q3. If I can reinstall everything else fails. I put the MSDN DVD in the machine to run through the process of preparation for resettlement. When he asks if I want to update or install quite a new OS with none of the backup files, I said it upgraded. But in the phase of 'control' it says that the OS on the machine is newer than the operating system on the DVD (DVD win7 is 2009). So I wonder if I would have to reinstall the OS from scratch.

    This has been a very annoying problem. I can't, for the life of me, find out how my ability to write to the registry is blocked as an admins. I can only imagine that there is some sort of permissions problem where something said that writing in the register should be blocked. The only thing I can imagine is that some app, perhaps privateinternetaccess has changed a few settings to block updates.

    Another thing. I recently bought a small mp3 to wear while jogging. He was not able to find the update of the driver on this machine, so I tried to plug it into my laptop running win7 as well. The pilot was found immediately. It was a week ago. So this could be another symptom of this problem where the driver for an mp3 player was not found.

    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance if you're able to point me in the right direction on this one.

    PS. I found this entry.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-system/access-denied-setting-owner-andor-permissions-on/71cdd66a-75Ce-4E79-BACE-89637e0dacae

    So I went in regedit as admins and looked over my permissions for the local computer. I am an administrator and full permissions for the registry entries. I see that the key of vmware isn't there and this would confirm that I wasn't able to write the registry key in the installation process. So it seems quite as my user is blocked update registry entries for a reason any.

    PPS. I've logged on username administrator and also tried installing vmware player and received the same message. So not even administrator has the ability to write to the registry for the moment. ?? very strange.

    Best regards

    Peter

    If you still get the problem of the erratically during the installation with elevated privileges, I would advise you all to first uninstall any partial installation of vmware/privateinternetaccess programs using the Revo uninstall utility.  The program comes in freeware or professional and freeware is not a "paralyzed" piece of software. The software quickly and completely uninstall the software that won't leave your computer and will catch installs partial which do not arise with the traditional programs and feature, uninstall native utility Windows.

  • "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!

    I can't get a printer to install on vista home premiuim. I have a hp officejet j4680. I have installed sp2. I did a Reset of OE at some point. until recently, when I changed a bunch of them to admin full control most of the permissions were wrong.

  • Access denied - owner and/or setting permissions on the registry key

    I'm on a Windows 7 Home Premium system that has been upgraded from Vista.  Several weeks when you try to install Symantec Network Access Control, I came across problems where the facility would be restoring because of a registry access problem.  Since then, I have read and tried many fixes.  None have worked.  My current problem is that VCRedist_x64.exe also fails to install with registry access denied.  The steps I've tried among those in blog of Mark Michaelis.  This includes their achievement, safe mode.  I also have run the command secedit / configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf/db defltbase.sdb / verbose /areas REGKEYS.  Still can not work around the error.  The secedit journal includes some access denied errors for machine\software\microsoft.  Not sure how they relate.  I can find specify subkeys of the key / with Regedit who have the problem... but so far non of the suggestions to reset the ownership/permissions work.

    In advance... I appreciate the new thoughts and ideas to this problem.
    There must be a way to disable the security on the registry long enough to clean up this mess...

    You need to take ownership of the subkeys before you can change everything right of access!

  • Access denied. Permissions problem

    Hi all

    I get the dreaded "access denied. "There is error the file may not or there is a permissions problem.

    I am the administrator of my site, and we have implemented to use webdav. This error ONLY occurs when someone sends a page to another user for review. Therefore, the examiner is unable to publish the page. She just keeps giving this error.

    I tried to delete the folders _mm, locks, etc., but nothing works. Apart from that, I will soon have more than 500 people using Contribute to edit pages, so I won't be able to remove these files and locks all the time.

    Anyone has an idea why this might happen? All of my users belong to the same group (www), and everyone has the same permissions of read/write on the server.

    Thank you!

    EGAD! Do not remove the _mm folder!

    Make sure that your users have access read/change the _mm folder and the MMWIP folder at the root of the site. We had the same problem and does disappear. Temporary files are stored there when you perform a send for review.

    Cannot access Pathname you have the appropriate permissions. Cannot download updates gives error code 643 and error code 5. Always gives access denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions. I am the administrator. Change all the complete control. Any other suggestions? Possible virus?

    Hello

    You are unable to download the updates?

    Try the following steps to resolve the problem:

    Method 1: Temporarily disable any security (including firewalls) software and check if the problem persists.

    Check out these links:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    If disabling the security software solves the problem, then contact the manufacturer of the specific security software to fix the problem.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable
    your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are
    connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2:
    See the article mentioned below and run the Fixit diagnostic tool to fix the error 643.
