Cannot access the system files with permissions to access EFS and certificate are set correctly.

I am running EFS on a secondary internal hard drive on my computer Vista Enterprise SP1.  I have been using EFS for a few months with no problems.  Recently, when you try to access a number of files, I started getting access denied errors.  I'm still under the same certificate with same file permissions that I was when I originally encrypted the files.  Curiously, I can move, delete and rename files without problem, but I can not access, copy, or decrypt.  I tried reseting the file permissions, nothing done.  An excerpt from the command line:

D:\>ICACLS FILE name. MOV

NAME OF FILE. MOV : (F)

BUILTIN\Administrators: (I) (F)

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM: (I) (F)

NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users: (I) (M)

0 file (s) [or directorie (s)] in 1 directorie (s) have been deciphered.

The only thought I have is that maybe the metadata associated with the EFS file is damaged?  I'm open to any new idea to access my files.  Thank you in advance.

Hi Dekaner,

Your question of Windows Vista is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public. Please ask your question in the Forum Technet Windows Vista security permissions and. Thank you!

  • Cannot open the PDM file with excel 2016

    Hey guys,.

    I have Office 2016, LV 2015 and (I checked my "TDM Excel Add-in" file) the Excel Add-in 2015 of CT.

    I have attached a picture of what I get when I try to open the PDM file with excel.

    So, I found something strange. I checked active supplements under the excel options and the TDM Excel Add-in is listed as inactive (and is called a COM-add-in). I tried to activate it, by checking the box (see the second picture), but that does not change. Interesting is the last line of my second attached photo:

    Translated it means: ' loading behavior: a runtime error occurred when trying to load this Add-In.

    I have 10-64 bit operating system like windows.

    Someone at - it a solution?

  • Cannot use the system update with WIndows 7 SP 1 for UN-installing IE11 - impossible to re - install IE11!

    I have the day together system prompt before downloading and installing. When I had the time of who is running the last invite nothing would install and ' check for updates ' stopped working. The two move to a phase of 'work' but is not progressing.

    Search through this forum, I came to management may be incorrect which previously uninstall IE 11 must be the origin of the problem (System Troubleshooting update does not provide a solution) but when I download and try to re - install manually, it says that IE 11 cannot be installed as a more up-to-date version is already installed.

    He's not... Although a folder "internet explore" is always present; the ieinstal.exe is non-responsive (even when run as administrator) and I can't delete the folder because:

    "You need permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this file.

    I don't have a point system before uninstalling IE 11 of restoration and we tried disabling my AV during execution of update of the system, for the moment I'll have to find and manually install the security updates, which is a tedious exercise.

    Someone has encountered this problem, and more importantly have a solution?

    My apologies if I missed the answer elsewhere and thank you in advance for any help.

    IE is not uninstalled or reinstalled unless you have a version of Windows N/K/KN, these have been sold in Europe and Korea.  It is a component of Windows Basic.

    Check your edition of Windows in the Control Panel, System.  There K/N/KN after the name of the [Home premium etc] edition?

    If this is not the case then you have a standard version and you can unload or reload IE to

    Control Panel,

    View by - small icons

    Programs & features,

    Turn on or off Windows features

    Set / uncheck the box next to Internet Explore [for reload / unload],.

    Ok

    Ok

    It will make you then restart the computer for the change to take effect.

    How did you "Uninstall" IE?  It is possible that this Act has damaged the system.

  • Cannot save the Lightroom files after editing in Photoshop CC (or they are invisible).

    When I export a file from Photoshop CC 2015.1.1 in Lightroom, the "Edit a copy" screen does not appear.  The image opens in Photoshop, I make the changes, press on save, close Photoshop and I went back to Lightroom with no new image modified either because it has never made a copy in the first place the new file edition is invisible (see below).  Spent hours on the phone with Adobe and we theorized it was multiple copies of Photoshop on different drives.  I physically removed all disks except one, and the problem remains.  Have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I have the latest version at all (it started with c. 2015.1.1).  Photoshop 6 works very well and doesn't have this problem, although I have copies of 6 PS on several other non Adobe software players works fine too.

    If there is more than one custom "slot" for external editors in Lightroom, I wouldn't even post this question because I could bypass Photoshop CC entirely.  But as it is, one of my two choices of editor external links Photoshop CC.

    Tip: If I put the file in the quick Collection, things are like the old days.  I get the screen to export, a copy is created, modified in Photoshop CC and when Photoshop CC is closed, the modified version is visible in Lightroom.  However, when I try to move the file edited in quick Collection in the folder where it belongs, Lightroom says that it's already there - which it may be, but it is invisible.

    P.S. I just discovered that it IS possible to specify more than one external editor, this is a temporary solution, given that I can use Photoshop 6 and like many other apps I want instead of PS CC.

    If Photoshop is the main editor in Lightroom, it will not ask to create a copy for raw images.

    You should be able to create a backup on the disk USB 2.0 to your content

    a former Mac PPC; the files could be read by applications or made

    be opened by apps later (or those who converted to the future, if possible.)

    The limits for rotational USB or USB flash drives were related

    the inability of the OS X to start the old Macs for these drives. The

    the files themselves should be OK to be read from said readers.

    You may be sure choose "ignore permissions" as appropriate

    on the drives where the old user accounts can stifle access to their content. Or

    create a duplicate of the old files on a different drive, convert the need

    for a more recent application. You can make a duplicate of the old together

    drive with a clone utility. SuperDuper, double or utility disk peut

    do large duplicates. Disk utility can make a disk image. Other applications

    could be tempted to see if you could save-as or convert a newer version.

  • Remote Desktop error: the system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\ < LANG_NAME > \mstsc.exe.MUI

    Came across an interesting problem this morning. After starting my PC from various applications (OutLook 2002, Management Studio of SQL Server 2008, etc.). I was able to connect to a server by using Remote Desktop (RDP, alias). On trying to connect to a second system, I started getting the following error message:

    The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\\mstsc.exe.MUI

    Will always be connected to the server, I tried to launch a second instance using RDP, but received the same error message.

    I googled the error and found different solutions (the best solution to examine ishttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/164d1e0b-51e6-4201-9dc2-3f4a0ccb14e5), however, none of the solutions seemed to work.

    I tried checking the virus/malware, etc, but nothing was found. I tried to re - load the dll and the exe (s), but still not received the error message.

    The next solution was to try to see what can be changed on my system (new programs, etc.). I noticed there is an update downloaded to my system (C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log): AutomaticUpdates content success install successful and Restart required for the following update: update for Windows XP (KB969084)... the update is related to remote desktop.

    I rebooted the system, still not received the RDP error messages. Is I did a complete "install updates and shut down ', and then restarted my system that started working again.

    For the record, here is some information on my system:

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.091208 - 2036: Service Pack 3)

    c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe: 6.1.7600.16385

    I wanted to just post this in case someone else runs into a similar problem...

    Thank you!

    Argue for your limitations and of course they will belong. -Richard Bach, Illusions

    I have a machine with the same problem

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600

    I installed the update for Windows XP (KB969084).

  • System cannot find the specified file "[path]" \hpzshl.ice_suffix.. ". exe"on Windows 8.1

    I've updated my OS to Windows 7 64-bit edition of Windows 8.1 pro 64-bit, and when you try to reinstall the software and the driver for my printer HP Officejet J4580 all-in-one I get all sorts of errors. It worked perfectly on Windows 7.

    I get the most common error is: System cannot find the specified file "[path]" \hpzshl.ice_suffix.. ". exe', as well as the facility is abandoned.

    I tried a lot of solutions from the HP Web site and these forums, but my problem is still there.

    I already tried the long solution presented here:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-all-in-one-install-Setup/install-error-quot-the-system-cannot-f...

    and

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04206080

    I even found the directory where installation has been decompressed and copied to the desktop, but the error persists.

    I need the complete software because I need to use my printer Officejet scanner, so I can't just simply print drivers.

    I need desperate help on getting this new work.

    Specifications of the computer:

    CPU: Intel Core i7 - 4820 K Quad-Core 3.70 GHz 10 MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2011

    : DDR3 memory / 1866 MHz Quad Channel 16GB (4GBx4)

    Printer: HP Officejet J4580 all-in-one; connected via USB

    OS: 8.1 Pro 64 bit Windows

    GPU: AMD Radeon R9 200 series

    I finally solved it by myself after many hours of pain.

    I clean any installation of HP from my computer using the HP Officejet software and driver removal utility:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=MP-110151-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4158&product=3645100&sw_lang=

    After the computer restarts, I moved on the desktop, the installation directory unpacked that HP printer install wizard for Windows had previously downloaded and launched.

    I deleted all files in the directory %Temp%.

    I disabled McAfee antivirus real time and Windows Deffender analysis.

    I ran the setup.exe in the installation directory in my office.

    The installation is smoothly and completed. I have already tested the printer and all features function normally.

    I hope these steps help someone with similar problems to get the software installed.
