• "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error."

  I have Windows XP.  Recently, this message appeared when I tried to save my Word documents: "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error."  I can always eventally the record via a temporary file, but it's very messy.  "A file permission error" - what on Earth is this?  And what should I do to get things to normal?     Ron Davis, Newcastle N.S.W..

  When you press the F8 key and access the Safe Mode start screen, use the arrow keyboard keys to select "Safe Mode with networking" and press the Enter"" key.  A list of startup items you will see on the screen, but after all that, you will get a normal login screen (except the screen may seem bigger than normal and 'Safe Mode' can appear in the corners of the screen.  At this point, log in as any user with administrator privileges.  After successfully login, you should be able to right click on a folder or file and select "Properties".  When the Properties screen, you should have a 'Security' tab at the top.

  Another approach is to use the command line command "cacls" to a normal startup that will show and allow you to set permissions on files and folders.  (Start-> Run-> "cmd") and then you can use the cacls command.  The Calc command syntax can be found here:

  <>http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490872.aspx >

  or you can type: cacls /?

  "Cacls" allows to screw things easily and quite bad so if you can switch to the tab 'Security', which is the way to go.

• Error copying file or folder: cannot read the source file or disk.

  My problem occurs when you try to copy on the same computer I am on (or to a remote drive).  I get one of these messages in the dialog "error copying file or folder.

  box:

  Impossible to copy 'Filename': data error (cyclic redundancy check).
  Impossible to copy 'Filename': cannot read the source file or disk.

  Hey Norton victim,
  
  (a) what is your operating system?
  (b) what program file you are not able to copy?
  
  As the files are copied, Windows verifies that the data that has been copied are the same as the source files. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error occurs when the copied data does not match the original.
   
  This could be down to a mistake of the DVD, the disc goes wrong and has failed to 'read' the file properly or the file was placed on a bad sector on your hard drive. (Could be just down to a scratch or some marks on the dvd, maybe clean it if necessary and try again).
   
  I would run a check disk (CHKDSK) against the drive to rule that, although lacking - you have another dvd player to try the disc again? If so, try the dvd in another drive, or even a completely different machine to try to pin-point the problem.
   
  At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
   
  Chkdsk /r
   
  Note: If bad sectors are detected when running check disk utility and attempt recovery of bad sectors is verified during the verification of the drive for errors, data in the bad sector can be lost as they tried to recover bad sectors.

• vCenter + 3 guest - root - cannot complete the connection due to an incorrect username or password

  Hi guys,.

  It is the latest attempt to address this issue the nice way.

  We have 3 guest running VMware essentials 5.5 with Veeam B & R (recently updated v9)

  I use a unit of vCenter hosted in one of the ESXI servers. Has joined the field - but no authentication SSO or AD has never been setup for it.

  Since yesterday, I am unable to connect to no machines with my password local root - or ESXI and vCenter. I almost use the same password for the hosts and vCenter (except the vCenter last character that is special) passwords have not been changed for 400 days. (I can remember in the past I have problem with my account lockout and I had to do something in vCenter turn it off - so I guess that this has been done)

  I am guard on getting "cannot complete the connection due to an incorrect username or password" when I try to connect via vSphere client, web browser, SSH or the physical server.

  Funny but my server of Veeam speaks to vCenter as nothing happened. Veeam management shows 400 days since the last change of password for root. Also, I am able to rescan vCenter successfully. If I ask for identifying information another user from the credentials manager in Veeam he dismisses them. So somehow Veeam is still talking to vCenter...

  It's just incredibly odd that two separate passwords for ESXI and vCenter are no longer works...

  Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

  Apparently, was my old brain!

  Just enter the password once again with a slight difference and it worked. @
