I am suddenly unable to rename folders. Insert the cursor, but it does not respond when I type characters, or even when I hit him back out. Know a simple fix?

After cropping of a photo with Photoshop I discovered that I was unable to rename.  I soon found out that the same thing is true when I tried to rename main folders in My Documents.  I am able to insert the cursor, but it does not respond when I type characters, or even when I hit him back out.  Know a simple fix?

Name change is a directory operation.  It would seem that you have read and write access to your directories, but you do not change access.  This highlights a problem with file permissions.  How is 'Simple' the fix depends on which version of Windows you have to a certain extent.

Windows XP Pro (with "Simple file sharing" turned off) using the security"" tab. When you right-click on a file or a folder and select 'Properties', then click on the 'Security' tab to view and change the permissions.

"How to disable the file sharing simple and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307874 >

Windows XP Home Edition is a bit more complicated.  You can start safe mode and log in as administrator for the 'Security' tab as above, or you can open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and allows you to display the 'cacls' command or change the permissions of files and folders.  You should check that your username has permission to ull 'F' for your records.  Not pretty, but it works.

    What antivirus you have installed before? Is the virus/malware-free system? If you have a current antivirus installed and you went through at least some of the malware removal steps I list in the link I have given if you are sure that the system is clean, uninstall McAfee and see if that solves your problem. If you connect to the Internet behind a router, you can be sure for this quick test. If you are connected directly to a cable/dsl modem, then firstly download Avast or even Microsoft Security Essentials (both free). Then, disconnect from the Internet and uninstall McAfee. Install the antivirus of your choice and test. If all goes well, your problems have been caused by McAfee. This is not surprising since McAfee is perhaps the worst choice for safety, we could do.

    If you had any antivirus installed before McAfee, then you must go through all stages of thorough removal of malware listed in the my link before anything else. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    First of all, you can try using system restore if the problem just started happening.

    Go to your Start Menu > Accessories > system tools > system restore.

    Select a point of dated system restore to before the problem started happening and then restore your system at this point. During the system restore, you can restore the configuration of your system and you will not lose any personal data, the system restore affects only your configuration.

    After doing the system restore you don't like something that has changed on your system, you can "undo" the restoration of the system.

    If the system restore is not an option for you, or System Restore does not resolve the problem, you can take the measures put forward in the Microsoft Knowledgebase article below:

    You can also try diagnostics automated web site Windows Fix It:

  • I don't know why the player pop-up does not appear when I insert my SIM card to upload photos into my computer

    I don't know if it's just me being stupid, but I had to update all the settings on my computer because of an overload of download me something horrible and it just all messed up. SO that being said, once I did that I'm more seeing the pop up that I had something in the drive which allows you to download the pictures from my memory card from my camera to my computer and I click on. I need advice because I do not know how to understand anything about this kind of things in Windows 8. Much appreciated! :-)

    -Ariel

    On the desktop, right-click in the lower left corner (Start Menu) and find the control Menu.  From there, choose AutoPlay.  When it lists what to do when a memory card is inserted, what do you see as a choice?  Select the import option and the next time you insert the memory card, it should pop up in the import dialog box.

    Other things to check:

    1. Is that what you were previously on Windows to import?  If so, choose this option.  If you don't see the option, you may need to register some dll.
    2. Did you already use library to import?  If so, do you have installed Windows Essentials?

    If you still don't see the import options, read the next question.  It covers the Photo Gallery or Windows configuration as the default importer.

  • OTP-S5100 - "unable to start the server" - but he DOES not see my computer!

    I had a devil of a time with this option. Finally, and without provocation, the ability to reference the media from my computer suddenly started to work a couple of months. However, as I add new video files, new files do not show upward (but in the same directory as the others). Finally, I tried to move all files to a new directory and then he set up through media center to access this directory. It worked fine, but then the same thing again - new files, but that it would not come up on top of the list.

    Ended up trying to move all the files a cople of days earlier in another directory again. Now, the unit sees my computer, but it is grayed. When I click on it, all I get is a screen that says "failed to start the server. Wait a few moments, and then reselect the same server or put the server media market. "Then, of course, I closed the PC & BDP several times, but does not. Just a list of my computer all the gray.

    I checked the settings of my PC (Windows 7) - Home Group (check), automatic WMP streaming (check), firewalls (none... check). New programs (none... check). Nothing seems to work.

    A big hug of gratitude to someone out there who can tell me what's happening!

    Thanks in advance!

  • Yet suddenly askes CC currently subscribed to the serial number and does not

    I am a Subscriber CC long time and current. Yesterday, Encore CS6 worked. Today, when I click to open the program and even invites me to enter a serial number or "quit". There's no other choice.

    All my other applications are under way and work: Ae, Pr, Ps, Mu, have, the, ect, ect. All, but still...

    All subscriber CC knows that our subscription does not come with a serial number. So I'm left wondering why my program worked yesterday and today it doedsn can't work. Mind you, nothing has changed between the time I left my computer at the same time I'm home. No updates, no new installs, n o t h i n g.

    So I followed my first instinct to search google and bing and I find that this seems to be a common problem with any soultions short of re-writing and deletion of all kinds of crazy files that honestly just look at unscrupulous only intended to really screw things worse for the person who has the problem.

    So, then I followed the walkthrough to the link adobe here: http://helpx.Adobe.com/creative-cloud/KB/CCM-prompt-serial-number.html It did not help me because it is not the problem. All my other apps work so of course my address, email, and payment options are updated.

    Then I click the live chat at 6:00 pm pst and I bounced from one guy to another until at 7 pm pst, I get the message... "Sorry to hear that your application will not work. Please contact more experienced technical team later as they are offline. "WHAT? No just solution ' your problem happened at an inopportune time for adobe so come back later. " And no mention of when that time will be. THIS is NOT CUSTOMER Service. If not cool, moral or right in any universe. Just leave me hanging. I can't put words how upset I am at the moment. Adobe has really let me down.

    When my clients have problems, I deal with it just here and and let he set and done. I can leave the ship on this one.

    Richard, I tried "run as administrator" does not. However, I was able to get in touch with a technology adobe today. After about 3 or 4 different technicians, one finally was able to help me.

    The tech had me open CC Pro Pre and go to 'help' and click on "logout". When you do this a pop up appears saying only: disconnection turns the following on this computer software, unless you connect again. following with the icon for each application Adobe CC that I installed.

    The tech had me then open the pre Pro CS6, who at the opening of the askes you to sign in which I did. Once opened, pre Pro CS6 the tech had me check under 'help' to see if the option 'disable' was available or greyed out. For me, it is gray.

    Then the tech had me pre Pro CS6 to close and open again and check 'help' to see if disable was still gray. and it was still grayed out.

    Then, the tech had me close pre Pro CS6 and open meadow CC Pro which invites you to connect. After CC Pro Pre launched the tech told me close it and open pre Pro CS6 too check under the tab "help" again and confirm if 'disable' is always grayed out or black (executable). This time, 'disable' was black.

    Then, the tech had me start Encore CS6 tto see if she still required a serial number. This time Ecore open like it should, without requiring a serial number.

    I hope that this stick, or Adobe includes a definitive solution to the next update.

    I hope this helps others with the same question.

    Thanks again Adobe for helping me!

  • Suddenly, I receive a message to install Adobe Flash. Does not install

    I was on a site for a few years and this morning. All of a sudden when I tried to get, I got the message about Adobe Flash. I went through the instructions 3 times. The program says it has installed. I checked all forum posts and removed existing AF. I tried again, with the same result. Even the shockwave flash in traffic disappeared and does not appear when searched for. This occurred in a distant past.

    I finally got to work by downloading Adobe, Shockwave/Flash uninstaller and uninstall. When I opened the browser still once, once more, I installed Shockwave - and this time it worked!
