Access denied to my drive H: on windows vista. How to regain access?
Ok? I; m do not know what I did exactly... I am the administrator of my desktop computer. I have Windows Vista. I created another user account, and I wanted to restrict this other user account access to my H: drive and my drive J: (my external hard drive). In the process, I managed to also put this restriction on me, and NOW it gives me an "Access denied" error message to both my drive H: and J: drive.
How can I get (I'm the only admin) access my H:, J:, and C: drives and RESTRICTING (DENY) any user on my desktop with Windows Vista account? Please help me.

For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

I want that they start on the left and run through the whole (not just two value windows) task bar so I can see all and switch between them by clicking on them.
Right-click on the taskbar and unlock it. There will be low vertical bars between the sections of the taskbar. Place the cursor on one and drag it to the left. You have to play a little, but you will get it. -

Usually, you use the graphic drivers of Toshiba Toshiba laptops.
I found the description of the error 34 on this site from Microsoft:
http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB; EN-US; 310123 #XSLTH343912112212012112012034 error code: Windows cannot determine the settings for this device
Solution:: the device requires manual configurationWell, the fact is that Windows Vista is not official on the market and there is a lot of necessary test. Moreover, Toshiba doesn't utter the graphics driver for Windows Vista at this time. In my opinion, wait for Toshiba graphic driver. I m sure that the original Toshiba graphics drivers will work in the future.
