• Cannot find the specified device, path, or file. May not be the appropriate permissions for access you.

  Hey everybody,

  I was running Windows vista professional for more than 2 years yesterday, I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled vista prof. (entirely new, different CD key). Everything works very well excenp for one thing - I had saved some of the programs and files on my external hardrive before formatting my laptop. Now, when I try to access these files I get the following msg-"cannot find the specified device, path, or file." You don't have permission to access them. ".
  I am logged in as administrator.
  
  
  Help, please. I reallly need the files.
  
  
  Any help would be appreciated.
           

  Hey Jihirshu,

  It looks like permissions.

  Try this on one of the files on the disk to see if it allows you to copy the files.

  1 right click on the file, then select Properties
  2. click on the Security tab
  3. click on change, in the name box, type "Everyone".
  4. in the boxes next to the permissions below, put 'Total control' for everyone
  5. click OK, and then close the dialog boxes
  6. try to copy the file that you just modified.

  If the works above, you must change the permissions on all the files you want to copy.  Normally, you can just highlight all the and follow the steps above to change the permissions on all files at the same time.

• Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. may not permissions to access you the item.

  Hey guys,.

  I am running Vista on my laptop Toshiba P200D. Recently I was making an error whenever I try to open the files that I downloaded from the internet. The message I get is "windows cannot access the specified device path or file. you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item "."

  I tried,

  • Safe mode (not to fix)
  • (No luck) system restore
  • check security options - I have full access to the file.

  I am running Vista 32 bit. I have avast antivirus running, but is not working and im unable to uninstall it.

  Any help will be accepted with gratitude,

  Thanks in advance,

  Chris.

  PS I'm the system administrator.

  I do not fashion without failure, I advised a SafeMode with networking for network access using a wired connection to download and install Anti-Malware programs.

  If this does not work:

  Download/save the removal of Avast on a friend's computer tool > transfer it using a Flash Player > uninstall the corrupt Avast.

  Which can be the source of the problem.

  As you can not turn it off:

  If under warranty, contact the manufacturer of your laptop.

  If this is not the case, take it to a reputable repair shop, computer room.

• Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

  Hello

  I recently changed to use AVG free Antivirus Vista 2010 edition and since then (next day) seems to be locked out almost everything on the computer other then IE.  Open any kind of .exe translates into "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item. "I can access the Control Panel, but when I try to run something (a user restore Sys account) nothing happens or I get the same error.  I can not even access/cmd?

  Operating system is vista 64 bit home premium
  Computer has 1 which is defined as administrator SP1
  Tried to do a restore of the system in normal mode and safe, the two will not start.

  I have a feeling I know what the problem is, that when you look at the properties > Security "Progam files" in the 5 groupnames user administrator has not enabled in the lower area of permissions?  Guess a virus has locked all accounts to use the machine key files? (When editing and allowing the admin to have full control etc. in written authorization, I get an "access denied" Message.)  Be honest this really problems out of my PC knowledge, I would usually just reformat if I hit I can't solve a problem, but this time reformating is not the best option.

  Thanks in advance for any help, I would really appreciate it, it left me speechless!

  PS. read through the similar questions and have used the "fix windows' programs, with nothing working or me being not able to access something used.

  Hi Dany88,

  First of all, I would say that you uninstall security antivirus vista 2010 of computer software, since there are several questions on the computer after installing. This software may have created conflicts between other programs on the computer.

  As you face problems to access items from 'Control panel', I would say you visit the security software vendor's Web site and search a tool of suppression using which you can uninstall the software.

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If questions are set after uninstalling security software, I suggest that you change the security antivirus vista to some else software or contact the vendor of the software for more information.

  I would also say that you are investigating the computer by using the methods mentioned in the link below.
