Task Manager give me an access denied error when I try to set the affinity or end a process.

Hello
I tried to change some of the settings of my PC compared to a game do not set up for dual-core systems.
I tried to change the affinity settings in the Task Manager and I get an error of access denied even if I have one in an administrator account. I am the only user of this system and it is very frustrating to be unable to edit my own settings.  I am running Vista 32 home edition on a system of dual-core AMD.
I also tried to change the affinity with the line of the command prompt and change the shortcut to do so, but this did not succeed. The command prompt will not find the program and when I use the shortcut to set the affinity with the command prompt, it didn't he open the window command prompt and nothing else.  If someone could give me a hand here, I'd appreciate it.  I am familiar with specific vagaries of Vista and I'm getting a little angry.

Do you have UAC turned on?

If you do, then, when you're in the Manager of tasks under the processes tab, select "Show processes from all users" accept the UAC prompt.
This will be the the Task Manager with your administrator privileges. You should now be able to set the affinity.

    Hi wimuggss,
     
    Step 1: Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result
    See How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the cursor?
    Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.
     
    Important: Enable UAC after you complete the steps.
     
    Step 2: If the problem persists, try to set the parental control in safe mode and check the result. If you are able to apply settings in safe mode, this means that some program is causing this problem, mainly the security software.

  • Get the "Access denied" error when you try to play all video files in another folder on my external hard drive.

    A couple of days, I've had accidentally one of the folders slipped on my hard drive in the folder above him and was presented with the "Access denied" error messages when I tried the two a) reglisser it out & b) open it from the record she had been driven to (which was not a folder of my making that is a jibberish titled folder containing two .vdm files it contains first)

    After receiving advice of a friend, I did a restore from safe mode on the eve of the day when he moved and he did bring him back with all the files and files in the right place, but now I'm getting an access denied for each file, I try to play. Whether Real Player, Windows Media Player etc none will play.

    Just to test, I slipped a .avi file in the folder to see if he was going to play and he did it can be the folder settings, I'm just hoping that all these files are now not corrupted and unplayable as I have some 180 GB of data in this folder in more than 1000 files.

    Any help is very appreciated.

  • "Access denied" error when updating driver

    My monitor is an HP w2207h (screen 22 "HD flat).  I get "Access denied" error when you try to manually update the driver by using Device Manager.  When I use the installation of HP or Windows Update utility, I just got a message that an error has occurred.  I've recently updated my NVIDIA driver using windows update (VISTA 64).  On reboot, I get a message asking me to select a driver for my HP flat screen monitor.  When I try to install the driver by using the auto option or by downloading manually from HP, I get an "Access denied" error message.  I am the administrator on the computer.  Can you help me solve this problem?

    It is alittle bit of a lenghty process, but it should help to solve the problem. Follow the steps in this KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539 to show the devices 'hidden' in Device Manager. Browse the list of drivers installed for the graphics card and remove all drivers that are "grayed out" then uninstall the drivers for your monitor. Restart the system and try to install the driver at that time here.

    What can be produced is installed the drivers can interfere with the currently installed driver and this should allow the system to update the driver correctly.

  • I get an "access denied" message when you try to access my restored files. What should I do?

    Some users have received an "access denied" message when you try to access their files restored once a recovery has been performed.  This can occur using Windows backup or backup HP (HP Recovery Manager).  They can see the files and folders, but they can do something with them, as the security check to fail.

    This occurs because the permissions from the previous installation are also saved with the files and it is a failure on the new system because the files have not been created on this particular installation of Windows.

    However, there is a way to solve this error.  Users can adapt the files and this should resolve the access denied"" message.

    Here is a guide which explains how to do this.

    I hope this helps with this particular issue.

  • Error when you try to play the game: memory access violation

    memory access violation

    I have redownloaded a game that has been previously loaded on my computer, now I get this error when you try to play the game "Memory Access Violation".

    Your sound card that is more than adequate.
    If the game was previously installed and worked fine then maybe it is not been completely uninstalled.
    I suggest you uninstall the game, look in the registry for any left over entries that can refer to the game.

    Then restart and reinstall the game.

    Alternatively, you can try to install in compatibility mode. If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
    Use the following steps:
    (1) right click on the program
    2) click Properties
    3) click on the Compatibility tab
    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

    Hi sdr2014,

    I'm sorry to hear that your conversion process is at a standstill. It seems that the problem is not specific to a single file, you have been unable to convert anything, since the first four chapters of a correct conversion.

    So, let's try this:

    If you want to convert via the ExportPDF site, please sign out, clear the browser cache, and then reconnect. If you use the drive, please choose Help > updates to ensure that you have installed the latest version.

    Please let us know how it goes.

    Best,
