    I am the administrator and cannot open files or webcasting two other accounts of work very well.

    Your administrator account can are damaged.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    Hey everybody,

    I was running Windows vista professional for more than 2 years yesterday, I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled vista prof. (entirely new, different CD key). Everything works very well excenp for one thing - I had saved some of the programs and files on my external hardrive before formatting my laptop.

    Hey Jihirshu,

    It looks like permissions.

    Try this on one of the files on the disk to see if it allows you to copy the files.

    1 right click on the file, then select Properties
    2. click on the Security tab
    3. click on change, in the name box, type "Everyone".
    4. in the boxes next to the permissions below, put 'Total control' for everyone
    5. click OK, and then close the dialog boxes
    6. try to copy the file that you just modified.

    If the works above, you must change the permissions on all the files you want to copy.  Normally, you can just highlight all the and follow the steps above to change the permissions on all files at the same time.

    I hope this helps if you find my answer was what you are looking for, please do not forget to click on the box "mark as answer" below!

    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 "."

    • 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.

  • Windows 7 - Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file... permissions

    Original title: help me :((

    My computer won't let me open anything, if I click on what anyone outside of the internet it says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item"? How can I get permission? :((((((

    Your profile seems to be corrupted. I could do this:
    1. Create a new account. This also creates a new profile.
    2. See if the problem is resolved.
    3. If this is the case, move your data from the old account to the new account. To do this, you must temporarily promote your new administrator-level account.

    Next time you have a problem like that, try to solve it immediately. The "System Restore" mechanism would have probably fixed it for you in ten minutes.
