Any help to get this resolved for a user of Windows 8?  Another 'help' pages reference a file tree that does not exist on this computer.

Same error, but I could not find the right directory to update preferences.  Adobe technical support was able Bomgar in and sorting.  Network computing and I wasn't looking in the appropriate user directory.

    Any help appreciated as I passed the age trying to find a solution!

    Hi André,.

    It seems your preferences and cache files have not all permissions. There are two things you can do to solve this problem:

    1. provide full access to the preferences and cache of InDesign files, more information on ERROR when you try to launch

    2. or create a new user on your system admin and start InDesign from there.

    Thank you

  • I can't change anything in the control panel. My computer says I may have not sufficient permissions to access the item.

    We have tried everything we can think of changing the time in our computer.  Whenever we click on the small box in the lower right corner, he says - "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  May not permissions to access you the item.  In addition, we are unable to add or remove programs or making changes through the control panel.  Help

    All the problems you describe are problems that could occur if the user that you are connected without administrator privileges.  The quick check of administrator privileges must right click on the button 'start '.  If "Open All Users" is one of the choices that appear, then you have administrator privilege.  Otherwise, you must connect to your machine like the built-in 'administrator' or a user in the group "Administrators".

    Assuming that you have administrator privileges, things get more complicated.  User rights can be granted or denied to any user - even administrators - by group policy.  If you are an administrator and you have XP Pro, then you might be able to check or change the user rights by using the Group Policy Editor (from-> Run-> "gpedit.msc").  Search in the:

    Computer configuration-> Windows settings-> security settings-> local policies-> user rights

    path.  One of these user rights is "Change the System Time".  If your XP Pro machine was never part of a domain, I would consider also running a program anti-malware on your system.

    If you have XP Home Edition, you don't have the Group Policy Editor.  You will need to check / adjust / modify your user rights by using the command line program "NTRights" provided with the Resource Kit.  Problems like that with XP Home would raise my suspicions that you have a malware infestation.

  • Cannot launch Adobe InDesign that you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders. Make sure that you have the appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign.

    I'm unable to launch InDesign CC2015 and I get the above message. A little history: my daughter (college House) had already installed CC2015 on our computer at home for little work. It has access through his school. I decided to sign for my subscription to the CC and were able to open Photoshop, Illustrator and other apps that I downloaded, simply not InDesign. I deleted his old copy and re-installed InDesign, but still no luck.

    I am connected to creative cloud through my account, not his. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    She motioned to his account of cloud so the computer would be 'open' and waiting for you to sign IN?

    You use an account that has ADMINISTRATOR-level permissions?

    Do run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says again and also to Adobe all emissions] will sometimes fix errors "weird" or "authorization".

    Original title: install please help

    Hello Bill,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    This problem usually occurs in one of the following scenarios:

    • The system group doesn't have full control privileges.
    • The Everyone group has full control privileges.

    Try to give a full permission to the installation of the program files folder. Then, try to install the application.

    1. As stated in your question, go to the location: C:\Programdata\microsoft\windows\startmenu\programs
    2. Right click on the folder to , and click Properties.
    3. Go to the Security tab and click Edit.
    4. Click on Add.
    5. Type everyone in the space to enter names.
    6. Click check names , and then click OK.
    7. Checkbox control in the list of permissions for all the world.
    8. Click apply and then click continue on each pop-up you receive later.
    9. Click OK.

    After having done with the above steps, try to install the program and check if the problem persists.

    Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.
