• Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. may not permissions to access you the item.

  Hey guys,.

  I am running Vista on my laptop Toshiba P200D. Recently I was making an error whenever I try to open the files that I downloaded from the internet. The message I get is "windows cannot access the specified device path or file. you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item "."

  I tried,

  • Safe mode (not to fix)
  • (No luck) system restore
  • check security options - I have full access to the file.

  I am running Vista 32 bit. I have avast antivirus running, but is not working and im unable to uninstall it.

  Any help will be accepted with gratitude,

  Thanks in advance,

  Chris.

  PS I'm the system administrator.

  I do not fashion without failure, I advised a SafeMode with networking for network access using a wired connection to download and install Anti-Malware programs.

  If this does not work:

  Download/save the removal of Avast on a friend's computer tool > transfer it using a Flash Player > uninstall the corrupt Avast.

  Which can be the source of the problem.

  As you can not turn it off:

  If under warranty, contact the manufacturer of your laptop.

  If this is not the case, take it to a reputable repair shop, computer room.

• Writing files apps get the "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. May not be the appropriate permissions for access you the items"error

  It only occurs with certain applications. Firefox and steam (the game application), for example.

  He regularly happening when trying to download a file with Firefox, regardless of the folder I tried to save the item to. Helped Disabling UAC. Sometimes, even when from time to time, however. I usually just download the file again in the same place, and it works fine.

  With steam, it happens 100% of the time when he tries to update. I am trying to troubleshoot with them, but I strongly suspect that there is an underlying problem related to Windows. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  It may be relevant that all my files have the blob (not checked) in the box 'read only '.

  There has been no recent changes to my computer.

  I tried:

  Creating a user profile. The question persists while the user as well.
  Using the attrib command from the command prompt to reset the properties of the folder.
  Run the checker system (no errors found) files.
  Taking possession of the records.
  Make sure that I have all the permissions with folders.
  Right click to run applications as an administrator.
  Check if the requests are blocked.
  Try start mode selective (Microsoft, no startup application services).
  Re-registration of Windows install.

  My antivirus software is Microsoft Security Essentials. I did full scans. It prompted me without warning.

• 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.
