No access to programs using Windows Vista Home Premium__

Over the few days my computer that is running Windows Vista Home Edition Premium does not open programs (either by shortcuts, either by going to the menu) - the message I receive is "Windows cannot access the specified path... You do not have the appropriate permmissions... "How to fix this problem? Thanks Martin

Hi Martin,
 
1. don't you make changes before the show?
2 are you able to access the programs in another user account?
3. that you get this error message when tried to access all programs?
 
We recommend first to restore the security settings the default settings and try to access the programs. To do this, visit the following link, the download and run them Microsoft fix:

3. click on create a new account.
4. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.

    They are genuine Microsoft product keys, they are in fact retail licenses, but it is expected for a product specific Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet channel for professionals who pay a subscription.

Because the agreement by virtue of which the subscription is provided is a single license, none of the software should be distributed outside of it.

The person who sold it to you probably sold to 10 other people. Somewhere along the way, one of these people could have installed on a second system activated, because it went past 10 activation threshold, Microsoft has detected that he was abused and blocked the key for later use. »

  • Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

    Hello

    I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

    Thank you

  • I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2. Is there a way to delete records of only updates of failed or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2.

    Is there a way to delete the records of 'detail' of only updates of failure or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

    I just installed hotfix for Windows (KB947821).

    It looks like a lot of my earlier 'failed' and 'Cancelled' updates are automatically updated and installed, and successfully, I might add.

    Some dates in some records do not seem much sense. I guess I'm looking for a way to select the records, I want to get rid of.

    Help?

    Hi Jeffrey,.

    It's not really a taken way in charge to remove only the cancelled or failed updates. These are taken from windows logs and displayed in the history. Steps that Jose post is a way to remove all files in history and will remove all updates as well as a failed/cancelled updates successfully.

    You will need to make a direct download of the SP1, SP1 is no longer available via Windows Update.

  • Cannot access the calendar from Windows Vista Home Premium all of a sudden... get error message indicating it is disabled... Help, please!

    After 1 year with the help of Windows Calendar on Vista Home Premium, I'm suddenly not able to use it (impossible to add new appointments and stored all appointments have mysteriously disappeared). I get a message saying "You cannot add appointments to a calendar that is disabled" the details of State "access denied." ... How is - it happened 'out of nowhere '? How to activate it? It's very frustrating... I searched the forums and Microsoft google the question. I found some results suggesting to either change the registry or download the fix automatically and manually merge in my registry. I tried both with no result. I have event tried to remove the old calendar and create a new one... still nothing. Any suggestions? Help, please!

    Hello NYintelligentinvestor,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Sorry, you have a problem with that.  What type of entry you are trying to add?

    Look at the calendar and on the left side, to half way down you will see a small block that will have something like "NYintelligentivnestor schedule" - there is a small block to the left of this one. To activate the calendar, click on the box to place a check mark in it.

    If there are calendar shown in this block, then go to "file" on the main toolbar and click on "new calendar" - one should then appears in a block with a check mark in the box on the left.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know status.  Thank you! Engineer James Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

  • When you use Windows Vista Home Premium search, no results wouldn't come

    When I opened early and try to get whatever it is, there's nothing at all. Or if I tap a file that I know is indexed I try advanced search, select all and fill in the appropriate information and also check that the fi not indexed box. I then start search and he seeks but nothing can't and never has. When it says try search files that does not work either. I do not understand why the search box never showed a file that I know exists and is indexed, or more importantly why nothing comes up at all? Anyone know what could be the problem? Hope you get this feature to work. I use Vista Home Premium and Explorer 8.

    Hello


    Method 1:

    The most likely reason is that you are looking a limited set of locations. Indexed locations, all of the files used by default, includes most of the places common you might want to search for. However, you can extend your search by adding additional locations to the current search in the search folder. Here's how:

    a. in the search pane, click Advanced search.

    b. click the menu location , then everywhere.

     

    Method 2:

    Also if the index looking for files that you know problems must be located in a location indexed; You may have to re-create the index. This can take a long time to complete. To rebuild the index:

    a. open indexing and Search Options by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Indexing Options.

    b. click Advanced Options, click the index settings tab and then click rebuild. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
