• The cd-rom drive access denied to Windows free audio converter (fre:ac) (7)

  Hello

  Since the upgrade to Windows 7 (32 bit), I get this message when I run fre:ac.

  "Access to CD-ROM drives was denied by Windows', followed by 'please contact your administrator." "etc.
  I get this even when logged in as administrator!

  The result is that I can't use fre:ac to rip CDs. The drive works fine in the case and works with Windows Media Player.

  Fre:AC worked fine with XP, but not with Windows 7, it seems.

  Any help appreciated, thanks.

  Problem solved.

  It seems that access has been denied not by Windows, but Comodo firewall...

  I tried to uninstall fréac and put it back and noticed that Comodo has been put into the sandbox it - after I said no fréac began to work properly.

  Make sure that you saved the file .pst to useful somewhere on your hard drive, like your My Documents folder. Then right-click on the .pst file and make sure it is not set to read-only. If the .pst file is already in My Documents and is not read-only, take possession of it.

• Access denied administrator

  I made a folder on the desktop by right click new folder.

  then subsequently decided "I don't want this folder."
  So I tried to remove it. He told me "you need give the administrator permission to delete this folder.
  no idea why it says this when I'M an admin, but I say 'Continiue.

  Denied...

  You need authorization WINDOWS\myself to make changes to this file (funny, I am logged in as myself)

  Try again..

  no go.

  I tried to navigate to the folder and delete the subfolders, always denied.

  I ran CMD as administrator, to help I tried to rename/delete file, access is denied.

  as an administrator in CMD, I tried icacls to / grant everyone: F/t
  access denied

  ICACLS to grant the administrators/f
  access denied.

  I'll double check that I am administrator by looking up the name of the window to CMD

  "Administrator: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe".

  so, I guess that administrator is not really administrator is it?
  and I have a permanent folder on my desktop?

  Edit:
  I also tried right click and enter the security options for this folder, Windows is unable to determine who is the owner of this folder is denied any attempt to take ownership of.

  Try this.

• Access denied for each file

  Dear all

  I hope you do well.

  Please let me know if you can help me with the following problem.

  I have a laptop with windows vista home premium, I only C & D drives, only a single user.
  in front of a low, I added new standard user called HARNOIS, no administrator and I edited the security option for the D drive, and I REFUSED all permissions for this user 'HARNOIS', which means HAMZEH may not access anything on the D drive.
  then after a day, I deleted account HARNOIS and then I tried to restore everything as before, but unfortunately my (Administrator) account, I encountered ERROR of ACCESS DENIED, I tried to take possession of each folder and then apply a full permission and subfolder and files in this folder, but the problem is the following:
  I need to change the option of advanced security for each file in this folder, nothing to apply at once, instead, I have to file-by-file and I have a large number of files in each folder.

  so, how can I restore my previous setting at a time.

  Thank you in advance.

  Best regards

  Faisal

• To access the files and folders from the hard drive Windows 7 on Windows XP, access denied error message.

  Original title: portable destroyed - need for car access

  I don't know if this is the right forum - please advice if it is not.

  My friend's laptop computer was destroyed in a car accident. I pulled the drive and placed it in my desktop XP system and the drive appear in good health. However, I received permission issues trying to access records on the disk and thought that it was because of me using Win XP and the laptop was Win7x64. My questions below are based on the assumption that I'm not able to access these files on my Win XP system. If this assumption is incorrect, so please let me know.

  I have a laptop that I don't use and put the disk in it. I was hoping it would be plug and play all the new material, but after reading a little online, I know that this is not the best thing to do and will probably not work as did the earlier versions of Windows.

  In the end, I care retrieves the contents of the disc, although it would be great if I could lend my laptop for a few weeks with "its files" until it sorts how to replace the laptop.

  Can I get the player Win7x64 working on the laptop computer of replacement by reinstalling Win7x64 on this laptop? I'm not "means a clean install/reformat, but have rather the Setup program detects an existing installation, and do its magic to get the operating system runs on new hardware?"

  I know that this raises questions of MS licenses. If the installation process could get his old system running on the laptop replacement, if I have a small window of time completely to access his files before being forced to re-register the OS? I'm hoping so.

  I'm looking for only a short-term solution - I do not recommend that he hopes that drive long term because the laptop got quite truncated of the accident, and once he gets a new laptop it will have everything he needs on this subject (OS, licenses, etc.). If I have a small window of time where I can simply copy their important files, or to lend him my laptop with its player and him can bring to its domestic network and the print out of all the things that are important, that it's going to be all together to move them to a new laptop when it is available.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You experience this problem because of the permissions applied to these s folder.  To resolve this problem, you will need to take ownership of these files and folders.

  Method 1: You can follow the steps mentioned in the link below to take possession of the records

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-access-denied-when-opening-files-or-folders

  (Article above applies to Windows Vista, not valid for Windows XP)

  Also check out the article below

  Method 2:  You can try a custom installation (not a format\clean facility).

  using the install option custom without formatting the hard drive

  Note: In custom installation only data would be transferred in Windows. Drivers, applications and the old folder will need to be reinstalled.

• Windows does not have to open your settings. Access denied.

  I turned on my HP Pavilion (windows xp Media Center), typed my password and waited and waited for my parameters that never came. Instead, I received a Windows Script Host message: "failed to load your settings. Access denied. " This never happened in 4 years.

  Sign in as a different user and see if this user has the same problem.  Otherwise, it only affects a user account, then you probably have a corrupted profile.  To recover a damaged profile, try one of the following:

  Usually it comes with alteration file on the drive system as well, so it is recommended to do a chkdsk with the /F or/r option.  It is a good regular maintenance not but be aware that it may take a couple of hours to make and it can not be interrupted.

• Get access denied logged as admin, trying to get to My Documents - Windows XP

  I am logged as an administrator and my own documents folder.  I created a new folder and moved some files in the My Documents folder.

  Now when I try to open the new folder for the files, I get the access denied message.  I check the properties, and there is no security tab and show tab General information there are 0 bytes of information.  It seems that all information is lost for all the files that I moved.  How can this happen?  If the authorization allowed to me created a new folder and move the file why now is completely missing information?

  In addition, now I can't remove even the files that I created.

  Are scanned for viruses etc and everything comes back clean.

• "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?

• "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!
