Error: Copy Photos "Windows has encountered a problem wen trying to copy this file.

original title: copy files confuses computer!

When I try to copy photos on my drive E or D (which I've done a thousand times) it now says ' widows has encountered a problem when trying to copy this file "... What do you do? ".. . as I have a shaky choice! ' cos it gives the options... How *, it's that ' cos they must be aware of * advertising but feel so safe in their ivory towers! What's wrong. Help, please. MikeW

There are two approaches you can take.

One solution: you can copy files into smaller "chunks" until you identify the file that causes the error, and then try to find out what is the problem with this file.

Another solution is to download the program "Robust copy" (Robocopy) to Microsoft and it allows to copy your files.  You download and install in the Windows 2003 Resource Kit (works fine on XP).

Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit:
<>http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=17657 >

Once installed, you can open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
Robocopy "C:\photos" 'E:\photos' /R:5 / s
Where "C:\photos" will be replaced by the source directory, and the 'E:\photos' is the destination directory.  the "/ S" option will copy the subdirectories and the R:5 option retries 5 times on error before moving on to the next file.  Errors should be displayed on the screen and I found errors of command line to be more descriptive than GUI errors.  There are a lot more options, but this should help you get started.

  • Error message "the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page" when you try to install Windows XP SP3 update

    Original title: cannot use Windows Update to install Windows XP SP3

    I have done a complete reinstallation of Windows XP Pro from the original disc and managed to update to SP2.  However, when I tried to upgrade to SP3, I got an error that "the site has encountered a problem and cannot display the page.  I tried all the suggested fixes that I can find.

    During the last attempt, I discovered that several dll is missing.  Here's the msxml6.dll, wups2.dll, c:\windows\system32\wucltux.dll and c:\windows\system32\wuwebv.dll.  If they are critical, where can I find them, and how do I get support.

    In addition, mshtml.dll is available, but the DllRegisterServer could not find an entry point.  Is this critical?

    In any case, I still can I install Microsoft Update or download/install SP3.

    The computer is an IBM R50e laptop.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Try to run this tool to windows update. This will help to re-register the dll

    After its done. try again and do the update

    hope this helps

  • Windows has encountered a problem, try to copy a file... why?

    Windows has encountered a problem, try to copy a file... why?  MikeW

    There are many possible reasons.  What you have tried to do over time?  Is there additional information printed with this message?  A few possible reasons come to mind:

    • The file was opened exclusively by the operating system or another program
    • The full path to the file from the C:\... contain more than 256 characters
    • Permissions problem: you have read permissions for the file or permission in writing to the destination
    • The file entry or damaged directory disk sector. (Run the command chkdsk with the /R option to this address)
    • The file is larger than 4 GB and you try to copy it to a disk formatted with a FAT file system.

    I'm sure that there are more reasons, but need more information.

  • Adobe Photo Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.  Error code: c0000005 address: 76f73ac3 I clicked the OK button and the closed Downloader.     I then tried to download from the Organizer. I have

    Photoshop Elements 12

    Adobe Photo Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

    Error code: c0000005

    Address: 75e32f71

    I clicked on the OK button and the closed Downloader.

    I did a search on this (c0000005) error code and it seems to be a work around, but no solutions, why is this? I ask that because that this problem seems to be years and years, dating back to at least 2005 (math is 10 years do).

    I don't even have the hanging camera and I get this error on download.  I have redownloaded everything and reinstalled.  I allso see AVI issues reported with this problem, so I've updated Quicktime that without the camera being hung when I get this error I wasn't expecting it to work.  I tried to support and they would not help because I bought it in March this year.  Quite frustrating because I bought elements about every 2 years.  I think I might need a new codec?   I had this problem on an earlier version and I think I remember that being the fix, but it may be something completely different

    Finally, I found it lacking a photo so the catalogue was "corrupted".  I just deleted the image and it started working.

    I hate Adobe and their total lack of support - thanks for nothing Adobe.  Also get this - they offered me to upgrade to 13.0 (12.0 My is only 6 months old but they still can't stand on errors.  Install only the errors!

    I've upgraded and buy this product 4 times now.  I'll find something else next time!

  • Satellite L305D-S5892 - Windows has encountered a problem

    Hello

    I have an I have a Toshiba-L305D-S5892
    With Vista Home Prem 32

    I have a few problems and am currently blocked.

    Each problem below, is a problem that I met after taking a few steps.

    * The 1st problem *.

    A few hours ago my screen was frozen just after I tried to install this codec from microsoft, so the only option I had was to do a hard reset.
    When my computer back on, I received this message:

    Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.

    This error may be cause of disconnect a device removable storage such as an usb external drive while the appliance is in use or by defective as a hard disk hardware or the CD-ROM drive which is a failure. Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.

    If you continue to receive this error message, contact the manufacturer of the equipment.

    File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

    Status: 0xc00000e9

    Info: An unexpected I / 0 error has occurred.

    I didn't have any usb device or removable in media.
    I can only access my utility series at the beginning, which is this menu: hand-Advanced-display-security-Boot - out

    * 2nd problem *.

    I opened my laptop and released the CD / DVD + RW, he started upward and now I get this message:

    For Realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI - E Ethernet Controller v1.07

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable.

    PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM.

    No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key

    * 3rd problem *.

    I downloaded the NEOSMART repair Cd.

    Once I'm in the System Recovery Options, it tells me to select an operating system. However it has not traded. If I press drivers to load, then a message tells me to insert the media, and then select drivers. I almost 'ok', and then am taken to explore, when there are a few system files and files (all empty)?

    I'm confused... any help?

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a problem with the system eventually installed the HDD failures.
    Why?

    Due to the issue described in point 2.
    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable error is displayed because the phone didn t find the installed operating system and try to boot from LAN.
    This happens especially if the HARD drive was not recognized by the BIOS.

    My recommendation;
    Access the BIOS and check if the HARD drive is listed there.
    If this isn't the case, then you will need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

    If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS, then take a recovery disk and try to reinstall the OS again.
    If you have no recovery disc, then you can order it here.
    (I guess it's a Toshiba laptop model we)

  • Windows has encountered a problem with the DVD/CD on Qosmio G20

    has obtained a g20, problems with the cd player. When I go to copy or move music or pictures on my cd/dvd, I get a pop up saying windows has encountered a problem with this drive...
    can someone tell me what is happening.
    Thank you

    On this path, it is not easy to say anything. Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then restart the device. The unit should be recognized and installed correctly.

    If you want to create data CDs using windows options please check disc recording option. Check the properties of the drive and check option under the recording tab.
