• Client VPN cannot access the different internal subnet

  Hi all

  I use pix 7.0 and 4,8 vpn client

  When I connect with the vpn client, I see the subnet behind the pix (10.61.1.0)

  However, there is a router on that subnet that connects to two other sites (10.61.2.0 and 10.72.2.0)

  I can ping from the pix to these subnets command line.

  When I connect using the vpn client I only see the subnet behind the pix and not the other two subnets?

  I have a command-line 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.61.1.250 (the ip address of the router) on the pix, but this doesn't seem to help?

  The response from the ping is request timed out one or the other subnets.

  Any suggestions on what route, I need to add or is there an ACL to be added?

  Current and ACL routes is:

  0.0.0.0 0.0.0. The ISP router address

  10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.61.1.250

  Outside_access_in list extended access permit icmp any one

  access extensive list ip 10.61.1.0 inside_nat0 allow 255.255.255.0 10.61.1.224 255.255.255.240

  NAT (inside) 10 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

  Access-group Outside_access_in in interface outside

  All responses appreciated.

  first of all and above all, the pool of the vpn client should not overlap with the asa inside the subnet, or any connected subnet.

• Receives the following message after opening a downloaded game: 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

  Hello!
  So I'm at the end of my rope with this one... it lasts for months, and I keep revisitng every two weeks to try and fix that and every time to be completely frustrated.  I found this forum tonight, so here goes...

  We downloaded a few games on the HP Games Web site.  We download them and everything works fine.  Then, we will open the games and this pop up error message:
  "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

  These games used to run fine, and I have no idea why they now have problems.  We have a Vista operating system, 1 account who is the administrator, the Parental control is disabled (or if we believe).

  If anyone can please help it would be much appreciated!  We have a monthly membership to this site of game and continue to accumulate credits, but may not use it.  It makes us crazy!

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello Heathie,

  Thank you for posting.  It seems that the program is no longer on your computer.  This can happen if the game files are deleted, but the game itself has not been uninstalled correctly.  I recommend you to download the game again to a location on your computer where you can easily find and install it.  This should fix the problem.

  Please let me know if this helps you.

• Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

  Hello

  I recently changed to use AVG free Antivirus Vista 2010 edition and since then (next day) seems to be locked out almost everything on the computer other then IE.  Open any kind of .exe translates into "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item. "I can access the Control Panel, but when I try to run something (a user restore Sys account) nothing happens or I get the same error.  I can not even access/cmd?

  Operating system is vista 64 bit home premium
  Computer has 1 which is defined as administrator SP1
  Tried to do a restore of the system in normal mode and safe, the two will not start.

  I have a feeling I know what the problem is, that when you look at the properties > Security "Progam files" in the 5 groupnames user administrator has not enabled in the lower area of permissions?  Guess a virus has locked all accounts to use the machine key files? (When editing and allowing the admin to have full control etc. in written authorization, I get an "access denied" Message.)  Be honest this really problems out of my PC knowledge, I would usually just reformat if I hit I can't solve a problem, but this time reformating is not the best option.

  Thanks in advance for any help, I would really appreciate it, it left me speechless!

  PS. read through the similar questions and have used the "fix windows' programs, with nothing working or me being not able to access something used.

  Hi Dany88,

  First of all, I would say that you uninstall security antivirus vista 2010 of computer software, since there are several questions on the computer after installing. This software may have created conflicts between other programs on the computer.

  As you face problems to access items from 'Control panel', I would say you visit the security software vendor's Web site and search a tool of suppression using which you can uninstall the software.

  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.

  If questions are set after uninstalling security software, I suggest that you change the security antivirus vista to some else software or contact the vendor of the software for more information.

  I would also say that you are investigating the computer by using the methods mentioned in the link below.

• Windows 7 error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

  Hi I encounter an error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

  The error message every time I click on administrative tools of the window (including the Control Panel, windows update, the Windows Explorer, etc.) but without impact on other programs I have.

  I rebooted in safe mode and discover that everything works fine (no error message will appear when you click on window management tools).

  I proceed to do a clean boot-> first disable all services of third parties (message yet to come), and then clear the components of the service windows (message yet to come)

  I tried to type "explorer.exe" in the start menu-> search field then click right highlight to run with administrative rights, then received another message of error "Server execution failed".

  I am the administrator account on this PC - and have full access.

  The error seems to have appeared on 11 August after Windows Update the following:

  Update of security for Microsoft Windows (KB2536276, 2556532 2559049, 2560656, 2563894, 2567680), and

  Update for Microsoft Windows KB2563227

  A security update for the Microsoft.net framework 4 client profile (verson 1)

  There is no installation of any software or updates outside the windows update.

  I also tried to restore the windows before August 10, 2011, but that did nothing.

  As the error prevents me to access any object Admin window - I'm unable to retrieve the product ID and write to Microsoft Tech and ask for help.

  I hope some of you can offer the suggestion of possible solutions (I really want to re - install window 7 and other software, I'm sure).

  Thank you.

  My solution works in about 2 minutes, it's a very weird error and only happened to 3 jobs in the last 3 years, this solution does not need to create another account if local administrator is active and allows access to the corrupt user documents ect.

  Log in as the local administrator or a domain administrator

  If the local administrator is not activated refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555910 and after completing these newspapers of steps on the local administrator account.

  Locate the user for example files. C:\Users\[username]\

  If you see no AppData press Alt to see the toolbar at the top of the window, select Tools > folder options, go to the view tab and select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" click OK.

  Go to AppData\Local

  Select all (Ctrl + a).

  Delete

  * Do not delete credentials (as it will remove their wallpaper) *.

  This allows to release the error.

• executable files: cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

  Hello
  I created a file named test.bat on my desk

  so, I closed my notebook and reopened, has added another "REM" and saved the file again.

• Windows 7 - Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file... permissions

  Original title: help me :((

  My computer won't let me open anything, if I click on what anyone outside of the internet it says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item"? How can I get permission? :((((((

  Your profile seems to be corrupted. I could do this:
  1. Create a new account. This also creates a new profile.
  2. See if the problem is resolved.
  3. If this is the case, move your data from the old account to the new account. To do this, you must temporarily promote your new administrator-level account.

  Next time you have a problem like that, try to solve it immediately. The "System Restore" mechanism would have probably fixed it for you in ten minutes.
