When you try to copy a. DAT in Vista file, get error 0x80070057L, the parameter is incorrect

I tried to copy a *. DAT file from a CD on my HARD drive. During the last 5 seconds, I always get the following error message:

Error 0x80070057L the parameter is incorrect

I am able to open the file, but can not copy. I tried on my laptop (Vista SP1) and on an another desktop running XP and get the same error.

What causes this problem?

Hello

The problem occurs when you try to copy other files?

  • Robocopy hangs when you try to copy a file which in use

    Hello

    I find that Robocopy hangs when you try to copy the file using, for example an Outlook .pst file. The behavior of Vista was not to copy the file according to the retry and wait switches from command line, which allowed the backup race move to the next file and finally finish. With Windows 7 the Robocopy session is suspended and resumes ever, even if the file she is trying to copy is closed.

    Is this behavior under Robocopy in Windows 7? Is it possible to get Robocopy to move to the file according to when he's trying to copy a file that is in use?

    Thank you

    Jason.

    "There is no need of me a pause in my script"-Yes, I understand [and should have done before].

    I just tested a network for the first time operation.  It hangs forever as your done even after I closed Outlook & waited for the w: 30 I put.  {I also ran with closed Outlook the first time just to make sure that the network itself had no problems}

    I read that you have provided the link.  This suggests that there is no solution.

    - - - - - - -

    You seem to be doing a lot more & probably more structured than mine operation, this workaround might not be of any use to you.  The other open files issue concerns a simple hourly backup of my kernel files that includes pst files.

    1 I xcopy all the files in a folder internal InterimBackup first.  Can I use XCopy or RoboCopy to send InterimBackup to the real destination.

    2 If Outlook is open then it will copy on InterimBackup and, if the previous Outlook.pst is still in InterimBackup she gets deleted by the attempt of xcopy.  [conclusion - XCopy verifies the existence of the replacement of a file, deletes it and only then discovered that the source file is locked and cannot be copied.]

    So I precede this with

    0 I run [if exists] copy D:\InterimBackup\Outlook.pst to D:\InterimBackup\Outlook2.pst

    The result is that whole process always ends but it only includes the last Outlook.pst that was available.  So I always make a point of Outlook to quit at some point during the day so that he could take part in this backup.

    If you have also tried this as a two part operation, your xcopy / robocopy in the folder InterimBackup would always succeed but would include only Outlook.pst if you had first closed the application.  Subsequent operation of RoboCopy would always succeed with the same possible omission.

    The downside of this might not suit your overall goal.  You'd have to RoboCopy separately all your others folder trees but keep the Outlook.pst in a tree that has not been included.  You could do this either by restructuring of your data or using RoboCopy exclude switches for the file Outlook.pst file.

    You have to accept that you might not be sure about the last time that the Outlook file had been included unless you had deliberately run the RoboCopy closing.

    I have reviewed this improvement by using Task Scheduler to respond in the event of closing Outlook and use it to initiate the copy outlook.pst to InterimBackup, then by running the part of the main operation on RoboCopy to this folder.  But my needs are so simple that I've never felt it's the logs of the events that I would have to put in place.

    As I say, it may not meet your needs.

    If you are running Windows XP... There is a slight chance
    that by running the following command would be the fix:

    Reach... Start / run... and type or copy / paste the following text:

    regsvr32 %windir%\system32\qdv.dll

    Then... Press on... Come in...

    You should see a dialog box stating:

    pelase advise I can't afford lossing my documents.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Error 0 x 80070052 occurs usually when you try to copy files to an external storage device. You can format the drive to the FAT32 file system format and check if this solves the problem.

    Come to your icons of files problem, I suggest you perform a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time before the problem occurred.

  • When I try to send an email to MYOB I get error message saying: "an email session could not be started. Please check your MAPI installation '.

    Error message: a message session could not be started. Please check your MAPI installation - sending email from MYOB

    When I try to send an email to MYOB I get error message saying: "an email session could not be started. Please check your MAPI installation '.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Hi all

    I have a workaround which is a little less boring that the patch "restart the PC": If you get the error where MYOB crashes when you try to send an e-mail, open Task Manager (ctrl-alt-del or right click on the start bar), then go to the "Processes" tab and close all instances of wlmail.exe using the button "complete the process".

    It seems that this error occurs if you have Windows Live Mail opened when you try and send emails of MYOB. If you then close WLMail after that get the error the process seems to never close, so you have to close it manually. If you send all your emails with closed WLMail MYOB it seems to be OK.
