  Hi mewlar101,

  You run the computer as an administrator?

  Step 1: Disable the security software; Follow the steps mentioned in the link below

  Disable antivirus software

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Important: Activate security software once everything is done.

  Now, check if you can back up your files

  Step 2: Check with another profile for the Admin user

  If you do not have a different user account, you will need to create a (see link below). If everything works fine with a different user profile, you can infer that the user profile is damaged, click on the link to find out how to solve this problem.

  Make sure that the mapped drive is configured to share and works on part.

  Auto-mappage will not work if there is a problem with sharing.

  Maybe this can help.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

• Photoshop cs4 access denied when you try to install from disk in Windows 7 64 bit.

  Photoshop cs4 access denied when you try to install from disk in Windows 7 64 bit. I tried in

  safe mode and it starts to install, but get an error there as well.

  What should I do?

  So when you put the disk in it does not work properly? When the disc is inserted, you should have a window pop up with 2 options. 1. install and another to see what is on the disk. Choose to open the disc or explore. Navigate to the folder where is the photoshop CS4 .exe file (which runs the Setup program), right-click on the .exe file and choose Run as administrator and it should start. See if it will install. If this isn't the case, then read below.

  I don't know how long you got in the installation until so chances are, you will need to run the CS4 Cleanup utility. 2 levels to run but do not use 1 or 2 just type number 3.

  http://www.Adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html

  You may need to run the utility windows install cleanup too

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

  Before you try to reinstall the software make sure that adobe reader is not installed. If it is delete. It has caused problems in the past with vista and CS4 installs.

  You can also disable windows Defender and all antivirus software. You can keep UAC Windows 7.

  When installing CS4 to 90 percent, it stops almost and may take 5 to 10 minutes at the end. It's normal. What a pain huh...

  After the installation is complete, restart

  After restarting, go to the icon of CS4 64-bit or 32-bit (depends on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7) in the starting area, right-click on CS4 64-bit (if you have windows 7 64 bit), and then choose Properties, Compatibility tab, and then check run as administrator at the lower part. Hit apply, ok to finish.

  Now, run CS4 and run the update.

• I get "access denied" when you try to add the component 4543BD

  I get "access denied" when you try to add the 4543BD to my diagram. This component has been added since a previous version. I use Multisim version 12.0.0 student edition.

  Hi Diarra,

  I checked my database and the 4543 isn't in the student edition. If you open a drawing that was created in a version more recent as the education edition and copied the part to your database, when you place this part, you will get the access denied message.

  Attached is a diagram with the part, you can open it and build you circuit around it.

• Access denied when you try to edit BOOT. INI.

  I was using Norton Ghost to clone a drive for one of my clients.  The clone has failed for some reason any.  After powered my system down to remove the two discs I was working with my system turns on no longer.  I get the NTOSKRNL. EXE missing error.  I decided to take my hard drive to another computer to check the boot.ini file.  The other system is Windows 7.  I get ACCESS DENIED when I United Arab Emirates, the attrib command to reset the attributes S & H.  I have to take ownership of the file.  Can someone help me?

  Why don't put you your XP drive afflicted and fix it using the XP Recovery Console?

  The situation is usually very simple to solve without moving from your HARD drive to another computer - and how you can fix this if you didn't have another computer to move to-reinstall XP from scratch or 'try' a repair installation?   If you had any XP installation CD?  (The Uuless Ghost FUBAR had somehow your Windows installation)

  You don't have a Recovery Console CD?  Make one following the instructions on this link:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic276527.html

  If the NTOSKRNL. EXE is really missing, or even suspect, that's just replace it by using the Recovery Console.  It is in many other places on your HARD drive - just copy in a replacement and be on your way.

  If you have doubts about your boot.ini, just rename or delete (rename boot.ini.bak boot.ini).  XP doesn't have a boot.ini file to start in a general single partition configuration.  It will complain, but still boot without one if all the other pieces are in place.  Your question of the NTOSKRNL. EXE missing error is unlikely to have anything to do with the boot.ini anyway, but you can try things if you wish.

  If you want to take the right of a folder/file on a drive that has been moved to another computer, to implement this article:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421

  I know not if attrib works the same in Windows 7, but XP, you type a command as the start, run or from a command prompt:

  attrib - shr c:\boot.ini

  It would be 'less' (remove) the attributes system, hidden and read-only.

  Here's a boot.ini file General who can help as an example, or after the content of yours, and we can take a look.

• Drive access denied when opening PDF files

  I noticed this on adobe Reader Versions XI and DC. What happens is whenever someone tries to open a pdf file that has name of file path is greater than 217 characters they will receive the error 'Access denied.' rename the file or move it to a path that has character < = 216 characters users can then open. If you try to save to the location it will appear to have saved, will throw any errors, does not save everything simply.

  I upgraded the drive to the new generation of DC. Tested on a new installation of Windows 8.1, I had at my disposal and tested it on all computers 15ish which give the same result. With different PDF documents are both on the internet and made by me using
  Acrobat.

  A few notes.

  This only happens on the network drives.

  I have access to all the locations of readers, that I tested.

  I had another user test this thus giving the same results.

  If I add my UNC path name of the file instead of drive letters, the amount is greater than 254.

  For example, if the path of the file is H:\My network Drive\Somearbitraryfolders\filename_Greaterthan217.pdf Its always less than the 254 that windows gives to us, but if I add my \\domain\public\drivename\Somearbitraryfolders\filename_Greaterthan217.pdf UNC path so this eqauls more than 254.

  So even if I can move files to this location by going through drive letters, stick them in, all that Jazz. As the reader is concerned it is the limit of windows, and may not be able to do something with it.

  If the Player looks at the UNC path instead of drive letters?

  If so is there a way for him to watch the drive letters?

  A quick edit. I just found this

  Known issues | Acrobat DC, CD player

  Problem: error access denied when you try to open the PDF file of the symlink via UNC path [3844582]

  So, I'm going to assume that the answer to my question is no. All that I can do is hope for a update or tell my users not to do ridiculously long paths.

• Registry access denied when I right click on a file to copy

  original title: registry access denied

  I reinstalled Vista family premium, a few weeks ago and now whenever I try to open certain programs is to say (iTunes, Autocad, MS Office) I get a

  Message: registry access denied.

  I also get access to the registry refused whenever I did a right click on a file to copy.

  The account I'm logged as definitely is an administrator account. I changed the owner of the C: and all files on my admin account. When vista was reinstalled the installation program was initially assigned the owner as trusted Installer.

  I also tried to set up another admin account and I get the same error under this account.

  Is could someone please tell me what I need to change to get the stop to receive this error message. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks for the reply Rami

  I had already made A step.

  All my documents, etc. had my account admin as the owner of the file, but when I went in the C: and through the steps of A which was where the Trusted Installer has been listed as the owner.  I had changed it, but he did not set the message boxes to come whenever I loaded a program or trying to copy a file (the program would be the load and copies the files if I clicked ok in the Message box).

  I couldn't do step C since there is no restore point to go as I wiped the drive and reinstalled Vista.

  Step B - I ran and he has a message to check the log file in c: Windows/logs/cbs, that I didn't have access to read the same file with admin access.

  To fix it, I finally just reinstalled vista again and this time I do not get the Message box registry errors when opening programs.  The c: once more the installer of trust as owner, but the rest of the files are under my account.  I don't ' know
  What is different, but it works again without these errors of annoying message box.
