I get an error message when I try to run a program I ran successfully in the past.

I have installed and uninstalled Sims 2 Double Deluxe several times and now I try to launch it I get this message: "the operating system denied access to the specified file."  How can I cancel what can I play?

swissmiss70,
If the Sims 2 is the only game\program who is having this type of behavior, I would advise that you check with the Support of EA for the Sims.  They may be aware of this type of problem. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • I get an Error Message When you try to send emails. "some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details". __

    I get an Error Message When you try to send emails. "some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details".

    But it sends the message anyway... multiple copies, and she also is put in the "Outbox" in Outlook Express as if it is not sent.

    To stop the email to be sent repeatedly to the recipient, I erase it from the "Outbox" but a) you don't know if they really got it) b it is embarrassing for the receiver c) is this a bug I can fix it?

    Thanks for any help.

    You have a corruption of dbx file easily corrected.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

    Compact often as specified above.

    And backup often.

  • I get an error message whenever I try to run Disk Defragmenter

    original title: I get an error message whenever I try to run the Defragmenter of disck

    It says disck Defragmenter is already programmed to run on volume C please run Chdsk/F I checcked my schedule the task and it does not appear as being planned how to fix this?

    Disk Defragmenter may not work on a drive when it detects errors on the disk.  If you need check your drive for errors.  This is usually by running "chkdsk" even if a disk check can be scheduled graphically as well.  Because the disk check must be performed when nothing else is using the drive, reboot and chkdsk runs before Windows loads on this disc.  For more information:

  • Get 810 error message when you try to connect to the VPN using L2TP protocol

    Original title: L2TP will not let me connect.

    I am in Workstation 9 and in each virtual machine, I have an AD - DC (2K8R2Enterprise), CA and RRAS (2K8R2Enterprise) and my last vm is a win7 (they are all tests).  All are not updated, but the PPTP, IKEv2 work without problem.  The second server that has the CAs and RRAS is a member of the AD - DC server.  The Win7 is not on the domain and I have Win7 a client certificate.  I have ensured that the CA root of trust is in the user store and computer Trusted Root CA.  I have also ensured that the Win7 client certificate is in the user store and personal computer.  I get a 810 error message when I try to connect to the VPN using the L2TP protocol.  I have exhaustively studied this problem and I can't find a solution to this problem.  I also raise the functional level of the domain to 2K8R2.

    I think this should be a simple and easy solution, but where can I find the answer?
    Please help me.
