Cannot access the folder pictures

System information:
Windows Vista 32-bit, Business edition
HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop
The fundamental problem is that I can't access my images. The icon appears only as a white sheet of paper instead of the photo icon that normally appears. When I try to access it through My Documents, I have photos, right click and go to properties and it always says that it is a shortcut file, but there is no tab for options shortcuts. I tried to restore previous versions, but he said that there was none. I also tried a system restore, thinking he might have got damaged in the course of a update or something, but not luck.
I did not need to get into my pictures for a while, so I can't say exactly how long it has been past, only that I noticed the problem today.
Just do not know how to approach the situation. Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Carrie2840,

Method 1: Run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference-Worth to try

Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically
Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

Method 2: Let flow the fixit available in the link below and then check

Windows Photo and slideshow problems

http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/windows_photo_and_slideshow_diag/en-us?EntryPoint=lightbox

Method 3:  Select the boot and then check if the problem persists

Follow step 1 in the link below,
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

If the problem persists, this could be an activity of the virus

Method 4: Run Microsoft Security scanner (MSS) to any threat and try to correct

  • Cannot access the folder

    Hi Lisa!  I have a similar problem, but I use Windows XP Home Edition.  Under ' advanced settings (step 1 c) there is no area for "simple file sharing" for me check or uncheck. ".  I have a directory under Documents and Settings of a former user who uses this PC is no longer, and the user account has been deleted.  But I don't have access to the files in spite of being the only user and administrator.  I can't access this grace at a command prompt.  The folder name is too long, and the short name will not work.  I tried right click directly on the folder, but not getting anything to work with.  Uncheck "read only" does nothing, and when I look again, it is considered as 'read only' again.  I can't delete the folder.  I can't access the folder.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm not Lisa, but you can start the computer with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or a Bart PE disk and copy the data from the file to an external hard drive in this way. You can then delete the folder if you use the Linux NTFS driver (if your Windows drive is formatted in NTFS; he did not need something special if it's FAT32) or just delete it using the Bart PE.

    I'm on Mac OSX 10.7.5, and I can easily access the folder on my current drive by pressing the option key (so that the hidden library appears) then get bookmarks of otherwise hidden files (since it's my new boot drive)

  • Cannot access the Media folder via App IOS Readycloud

    I have a RN204 4.6.2 running in an OSX system which will not allow access to the Media folder via the IOS app on iPhone or iPad. I can access the media folder via the ReadyCloud portal or the finder on MAC without problem, but the IOS App shows "Access Denied" and requests user & password, which, when entered, does not. I can access all other folders via the application, just not the media folder. Permissions are set the same as the other issues so I'm not sure what the question is that if she's Readycloud app for IOS. I guess the user & password requested is for NAS, although I tried the credientals of Readycloud just for fun but no help. As a note, I don't get "Connection failed" but "Access Denied", so the network access is OK but access to the file is doesn't understand why all other folders are accessible but not the media folder. And that's on both VPN connections & local. Any ideas?

    Hello

    Hello
    Maybe this can help.

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    MoHlog.txt file is related to the software of modem on the computer, you can uninstall and reinsta it check if it works.

    Also scan your computer for any infection by virus still present on the computer using any scanner online.
