• Problem starting with ' erreur...system32/cmd.exe: access denied. "

  After this "DOS black screen" error is present for a relatively short period of time, the system proceeds to load and it seems that the system works very well. It seems to me it should be to correct this error, but I don't know what is the cause. I have a screenshot of this accident.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  I checked my system and performed the following tasks to try to resolve the problem:
  My version of Windows is up-to-date. I have no problem hardware or exceptional driver. I tried to temporarily disable my antivirus to complete the installation, this does not solve the problem. I tried to install it as a system administrator. I searched the site of Valve/steam software for a solution, none were found (http://store.steampowered.com/). I searched the database of Microsoft for a solution, none were found. I'm having no problem with other games or applications that were loaded on that computer. The problem is only with the application steam.exe and any game that requires the application of steam to the function.

  The default program is responsible for the following: C:\Program Files (x 86) \Steam.
  I tried to load the program on different hard disks and got the same error code.
  I have triple checked all user profiles to make sure that the appropriate privileges have been set (Admin). I checked all the steam program elements to ensure that they have been set to run as a program director executed. I double checked that proper TCP/UDP ports are open for the application of the steam function. http://www.resoo.org/docs/Counterstrike/steam_ports.html
  Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello Platinum,
   
  Thank you for writing to Microsoft Vista Community Forums.
   
  This error is primarily caused by a lack of permissions for the user, having the Steam.exe file attributes set to 'Read only', or by another program interferes with the installation of Steam process (if the steam client application has been updated to a version that was not included in your package of Steam, Steam will download a new copy of itself and then delete the old file Steam.exe except when another program interferes).
   
  1. check your Windows user permissions.
  Please ensure that you are logged on as administrator on the computer that you use to install Steam.
  2. check the file attributes
  3. right click on the file Steam.exe, which was created after running the Steam Installer, and then select Properties
  4 uncheck the read-only box if it is checked and hit apply before closing the window
  5. try running the Steam.exe file once more
  6. check the settings of your security software
   
  If you are running an antivirus, firewall or any product safety program that may interfere with the removal and replacement of the file Steam.exe (some security software will check information of a file whenever it is changed and block the automatic replacement of files) Please check your settings for the program and ensure that you are prompted to authorize activities that may trigger the security software.
   
  Remove spyware, Adware and virus software and try to run the installation again.
   
  In addition to the steps above, follow these steps:
  1. go in C:/Program Files/Steam /.
  2. right click on Steam.exe and go to properties.
  3. click on the Compatibility tab.
  4. check run as administrator and click OK.
  5. then I deleted StemeTemp (or something like that. the steam icon).
  6. then run Steme.exe again.

  It will be useful.

  If it is necessary to download the programs below on another computer and transfer it to this one

  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one

• NTOSKRNL. EXE missing - access denied whiletrying to copy CDs

  Hi all

  I use Win XP Sp3.

  When I tried to start, I got the following error "missing NTOSKRNL.exe.

  I used the win XP CD to start in Restore Mode.

  Go to the command prompt after you enter the credentials & entered copy d:\i386\ntoskrnl.exe c:\windows\system32\*.*

  By entering in this I get the error "access denied."

  Somone kindly indicate how to copy the file ntoskrl.exe missing in the c:\windows\system32 folder

  Kind regards

  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  Try again with the full path instead of jokers:

  copy d:\i386\ntoskrnl.exe c:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

  I think you might need to expand the file instead of copy:

  For single-processor systems:
  Expand D:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_ C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

  For multiprocessor systems:
  Expand D:\i386\ntkrnlmp.ex_ C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

  Note that it is often a problem with the boot.ini file, and not a ntoskrnl missing actually.  See here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314477

  You probably accidentally "run" the file, and there is a window somewhere waiting for you to click 'OK' or something, when an exe is runing, windows do not allow you to delete it. But it should allow you to remove it if it is not not runing.
