I have a problem of Windows Vista permission/access denied

E-mail address is removed from the privacy * I have a problem in Windows Vista in which case there are 2 profiles that are both administrators. The problem is that, while trying to do a repair on the C drive to free up space, I get the message that ACCESS is denied. I can't free transer data on external drive Western 1 TB space, kind of frustrating. 0 bytes remain & access continues to be denied. Property, permissions are not allowing me to correct this situation. Justin [removed personal information]

Hello

·        What is the case for the two user accounts?

You can try to create a new user account with administrator privileges and check if you are able to transfer the files. If you are able to transfer files using the new user account, then this is the problem with the permissions on the drive.

To apply permissions to a file or a folder

(a) right click on drive C:\ then clickProperties.

(b) click on anti-terrorism tab and then click on edit.

(c) do one of the following:

·        To set permissions for a user who is not quoted underGroup or user names, click Add, type the name of the user or group, click OK, select the permissions, and then click OK.

·        To change or remove permissions for a user or an existing group, click the name of the user or group, select the permissions, and then click OK.

Also, check if your computer is infected with a virus.

Hope this information is useful.

  • Windows Vista cannot access the internet, the link speed and Duplex negotiation seems to be the problem

    I have a desktop running Windows Vista Home basic and I can't connect to the internet through a local network, which is connected through a router (Belkin). Adapter type is Internet: Intel 825562V-210/100

    After consultations with the support of technichal society of router and my PC vendor, it seems that there is aproblem with negotiating the link speed. Here are some symptoms:

    I can access the internet if I connect the cable directly to the modem;

    Connected through the router, I can sometimes connecting to the internet if Imaually change settings of connection speed (10 / 100 Mbps, half/full duplex)

    All other PC connected to the network, using Win Vista and throuhg connected to the same router, have access to the network;

    If I connect my network cable to another PC, it will have access to the internet;

    The status of my PC seems to be 'connected' on the site of implementation of routers. The State of my connection is sometimes "Local only" sometimes "Local and Internet", but in fat, there is no internet access.

    I tried the following:

    Trouobleshooting under the direction of the technical support of the router and PC vendor.

    Update the operating system to restore to an earlier date, to restore to the factory settings; Reformatting my PC 2 times, (first internet worked for a few hours only); update the OS (by connecting directly to the modem); Turning off Win Defender, removing software antivirus. Reset LAN connection...

    Any suggestion please?

    New router solved the problem.

    But, like the HP advises, if you install another Vista operating system, the recovery Partition is therefore more able to be used.

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
