• Available update does not load. Message says I don't have permission to system to install, use an administrator account. However, I am the administrator. Help!

  I am able to install other software, I did a test. Recently migrated from OS 10.4.11 on an eMac Power PC to OS 10.6.6 on an Intel iMac. It is the first security update as I migrated. I trashed the file cert8.db such as recommended on the site and I restarted too, but still cannot install the update. I have not uninstalled Firefox for fear of not being able to re - install. I have not messed with or otherwise worked in the Terminal profile. Is there some handy preference in the trash or what?

  • Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
  • Trash the current demand for Firefox to do a cleanup (re) install.
  • Install the new version you downloaded.

  Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

• When you try to run an .exe file, windows will appear with a warning saying I don't have permission to use the file... and yet I used it earlier that day and no changes have been made on the computer

  I'm a gamer, I play world of Warcraft. A week ago, the shortcut of this game that was created through disk began to have a popup alert indicating * Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.* thing is, it was working fine a few weeks ago and no changes to the computer or the security settings. So I created a shortcut using the .exe directly instead of that the game gives us. Now yesterday I've played, got off, went to practice, returned, and it was blocked. There are no other files (that I know) have this problem, it's the unique. I am running vista Home Premium service pack 2 of the of the window on a relatively new dell 32-bit processor. I have absolutely no idea as to what caused this... anyone have an idea? Thank you.

  Justanotheridiot,
  If you uninstall Norton, you can reinstall and your subscription will remain current.  Just make sure that you are using the Norton removal tool to uninstall.  You can find on their Web site.  You also mentioned McAfee on your system.  If you have not used the removal tool they provide that I suggest to go to get it and run it before removing Norton.  I heard about problems caused by one of these programs being not entirely removed by using only the normal uninstall option.

  Also if you have not already done, right click on the file that you run and choose "Run as Administrator" and see if that makes a difference. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• I can't move files on my external hard drive as it says I don't have permission.

  Whenever I have try and drag or copy and paste the files on my external hard drive it says I don't have permission. I know this isn't the hard drive because it works on other computers

  To give the control is a two-step process. Take ownership and then to give permissions.

  Owner of a file allows the owner to change permissions even if they do not have the authorization to do so. It's the only thing that made property. The person who creates an object owns the object. For admins, the objects that are created are the property of administrators, not the individual.

  You need start exploring as administrator to Start - All Programs - Accessories - made Windows Explorer right click and choose run as administrator.

  You must therefore make a right-click folders / drive, you are interested in tick - button Properties - Security - Advanced button - property - Edit - Replace owner on Sub containers and objects tab - select one user-then Ok your way of out.

  Right-click new - folder Properties - Security - Advanced - tab permissions - Edit button - select the account - check the two checkboxes - button - Advanced - Search now button Add button - select your tick - Ok button - total control in the list. OK your way out.

  To activate the full administrative privileges with a normal Windows 7 user account:

  Open an administrative command prompt (right click; Run as administrator)
  Type "net user administrator activate: 'Yes and press ENTER."

  That should help him.

• I can't save anything to any folder of the user. I get a message that I don't have permission and admin contact.

  Cannot be saved in my folder

  When I came to my computer, I had no problem recording on any folder of the user. Then, recently, my hard drive was a
  malfunction and I lost all my data and I have OS Win7 reloaded. Now I can't save anything to
  any folder of the user. I get a message that I don't have permission and admin contact (which is me).
  I would like to know how do I configure admin so I can save anything in folders.

• How do I enter recorded meetings? When I click on the "meetings" tab it says I don't have permission

  How do I enter recorded meetings? When I click on the "meetings" tab it says I don't have permission

  Meeting records will have a direct URL, as well as meeting rooms and the content in Connect. You probably not a member of the host of the meeting or Group Admin group in this Connect account, so you do not have the permissions to access the library of the meeting.

  You will need either the host of the meeting room as you are looking for the registration you get the link and make sure you have the appropriate permissions to view, or switch the recording to the content library where it can be placed in a folder that you have viewing permissions.
