This caused all THE files, including Windows to become READ ONLY - cannot change whatever it is and can not change itself.
Saved programs & Docs to a folder on another drive. Made the file READ ONLY so she would not get changed. Windows RELOADED. Copied programs (no longer available and/or damaged discs) and Docs for the new Windows. Now most of the Windows files, program files, all Doc files are READ only! Cannot change what anyone on Windows, load new programs or updates, and it doesn't allow me to cancel the attributes read-only in a file or a folder including the backup folder in the other player! I copied backup files I want to save one by one in another folder in another player, so I can reformat and start over, but this issue has also become READ ONLY. Can someone help me with this thing read-only?
I'm sorry to say this, but you cannot back up Windows in this way. As you have unfortunately discovered, simply copying the program files does not work. You would have needed the system image using a program like Acronis True Image . There is nothing you can do about the programs; they should all be reinstalled from the media (CD or executable files downloaded from the Internet). With respect to documents, you can take possession of them. The read-only attribute is not applicable to folders in Windows XP.

I need to move files on my laptop, but windows crashes Explorer everytime I try this. This also applies when you use an alternative program to explore. It didn't happen last week but regularly spent the last six months. It is now that I need to migrate these files (mainly the images, but also the music and office documents).
The error in the Event Viewer log States the following: start the application failing application Explorer.EXE, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e01da5, failed module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, offset 0x02db07e0, process id 0 x 1650 error, time 0x01ca547fd1de6851.

Make sure that the device is compatible with Vista, the Vista Compatibility Center: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/default.aspx.
If you need to get pilots to leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates). In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm. Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html. You need to find the NAS device and the NICs in particular - but it would not hurt to look at all the when you're there.
Go to start / Control Panel / Add Hardware and select the first option (recommended) to see if the system can detect the device. If this does not work, choose the second and provide the information requested on the device. You will be asked for drivers - have their practice. Follow the prompts to install the device (NAS). Make sure that it is plugged in and turned on when you do so, or he not be recognized. It's the hard way of installing a hardware device, but your system obviously isn't automatically recognize it then do it manually. Here is a brief tutorial on how to do so: http://www.web-articles.info/e/a/title/Windows-Vista :-Running-the-Add-Hardware-Wizard /.

Failed to open all the files, including programs or system restore files
I had a pretty bad virus just about an hour ago that came just from scratch. It was one of those who blink at you and says that you have 20 horses of Trojan and other. I used internet to solve security norton, but it came with nothing else in the amount of time I had, because my computer has suddenly dropped. I turned it back in safe mode to restore the system, but all of a sudden I now get the box that says:
"Choose the program you want to use to open this file" and lists only internet explore.
I'm going to go and when I find the program file, that it does not open, he goes back to this window just does nothing for me. For this reason, all I can open is internet explorer, not even norton or system restore, in particular.
I obviously need system restore. Please help me.
Thank you in advance.

"Properties > tab security for My Documents and my pictures show that home users of the system, my own account and administrators (I'm also administrator) have full control ' (with all the boxes"Allow". But the properties of each individual in My Documents and my pictures folder and all files in those, show 'Read only', and all the ticks in the Security tab are grayed out for all users or groups names.
I cannot understand the explanation in the section using the Access command ('Object Types', 'Object name' etc) when I try to change this tab for a file or folder. Help, please!
Hi Angela,.
Welcome to the Microsoft community forum. Let me help you with your concern.
The security settings for the my document and other folders in the library will have complete control and the tick mark you are talking about will be by default on all Windows 7 computers. Some folders inside of it will be in read-only by default. You can remove by box to uncheck Read-only in the properties of the folder.

What version of Windows you want to transfer is irrelevant. What
you need to do is just transfer to another computer.There are several approaches to do this. What is the best for you
based primarily on the amount of data you transfer. Here are a few
choice:1. transfer on diskettes.
2. transfer to CDR or DVD.
3. by email from the old machine, and read e-mail on the new
one.
4. the two computers on the network and simply copy the files on the
network.
5. temporarily (or permanently) install the old computer's hard

What burning CDs in Windows Media music system prepares all the files listed. When the system starts writing the files on the disc it gets through about 4 songs and then goes to finalize the disc and ejects the disc. The disk does not appear to have anything on it.

There has been no major changes to the system
The files I am to burn to the disc are previously ripped files on the disk hard, some of them were burned on another drive before.
I tried to slow down the burn speed, but that did not work.

I move the file from my old PC which took place with Vista on a new computer running with Win 10 where I have Windows Live Mail is installed. When I try to copy the files from Windows Mail on Vista on a USB key I get the message "you are about to copy this file without its properties". After studying this issue on the forums, a proposed solution was to reformat the drive in NTFS format, I did. This does not solve the problem. Any suggestions? Would it be OK in this case to ignore the message and copy the file without its properties?
Well data files/user of vista should work. Yes a NTFS format is good, go to run, or cmd, type:
diskmgmt.msc in msc, R.click on the material, delete the partition, create one, format. Use the default settings,
Once thru, L.click the disk, go to actions, all, select 'enable '.
