Why do all a sudden I don't have permission to do anything on my laptop after having no problems for 6 + years. ?

I have a hp pavilion entertainment laptop, the model dv2-1030.  Vista Home premium 64-bit running.  Bass (D) RECOVERY on the disk space, tried cleaning time of many files, defrag tried, finally the system restore that messed up things even more now, I don't even had permission to update my anti-virus.  Windows Installer not working no more.

Probably something to do with all the 'stuff' you've changed to free up space.  The simplest solution is to re - install.

  • I can't save anything to any folder of the user. I get a message that I don't have permission and admin contact.

    Cannot be saved in my folder

    When I came to my computer, I had no problem recording on any folder of the user. Then, recently, my hard drive was a
    malfunction and I lost all my data and I have OS Win7 reloaded. Now I can't save anything to
    any folder of the user. I get a message that I don't have permission and admin contact (which is me).
    I would like to know how do I configure admin so I can save anything in folders.

  • How can I download Update 3.6.23 when he tells me that I don't have permission systems to install it?

    Whenever I try to download security & stability maintaining 3.6.23 a
    Popup tells me that I don't have permission systems to install
    and that I need to contact system administrator to do this. I am
    the sole owner and user of this machine. I continue to receive notices
    that I should download this program. I downloaded
    7.01 correct Firefox. This is getting very frustrating because none of
    your help Firefox articles seem to cover this problem.

    If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)

    • Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
    • Install the new version you downloaded

    Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

  • I have 4.0 installed, downloaded 5.o several times but can't install it - the message is that I "don't have permission '; using a mac book pro OS 10.6.

    Have failed several times in the update of firefox. I get the message: you want to replace the earlier version? I click Yes, and then get the message saying I don't have permission to install the most recent version. There had been no request a password to install this on my Mac, which is what I guess may be necessary for installation.
    How can I achieve this?

    Sometimes I was offered (for firefox) an opportunity to connect with their update, but this connection lasted 30 min., without success, so I closed the window.

    If you have problems with the update or the permissions then more simple is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop DMG

    • Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
    • Install the new version you downloaded

    Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • When I try to change an .ini file in a folder of the game in program files, Windows 7 tells me I don't have permission and "contact your administrator." Guess what, it would be me. What should I do now?

    I tried to activate the debug mode for Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn , so I go into program files, I find the .ini file that I need to change to enable the debug mode. I change it, so I try to save him. "You don't have permission to save in this location.

  • I can't move files on my external hard drive as it says I don't have permission.

    Whenever I have try and drag or copy and paste the files on my external hard drive it says I don't have permission. I know this isn't the hard drive because it works on other computers

    To give the control is a two-step process. Take ownership and then to give permissions.

    Owner of a file allows the owner to change permissions even if they do not have the authorization to do so. It's the only thing that made property. The person who creates an object owns the object. For admins, the objects that are created are the property of administrators, not the individual.

    You need start exploring as administrator to Start - All Programs - Accessories - made Windows Explorer right click and choose run as administrator.

    You must therefore make a right-click folders / drive, you are interested in tick - button Properties - Security - Advanced button - property - Edit - Replace owner on Sub containers and objects tab - select one user-then Ok your way of out.

    Right-click new - folder Properties - Security - Advanced - tab permissions - Edit button - select the account - check the two checkboxes - button - Advanced - Search now button Add button - select your tick - Ok button - total control in the list. OK your way out.

  • Error: "you don't have permission to access this folder. ' Click on continue having access to this folder continuously ".

    Original title: cannot access files on a folder on the drive hard usb after you have turned off sharing on a network.

    About a week and a half, I have set up my external hard drive usb to share on my network domestic as well as my brother could access some files on his laptop computer.  I've been playing with the security of some of the files on the hard drive and made sure that he could not access some of them.  I don't remember exactly what I did unfortunately.  After I had changed the security access, I was still able to access all files and my brother could not access it.  He got the files on the hard drive and I turned off my computer.  A few days later, I tried to access the files that I had limited and I was stuck.  When I went back in the drive to recover some files, I received an error "you don't have permission to access this folder.  Click on continue to have access to this folder permanently. "When I click on continue that another dialogue box comes up saying"you refused permission to access this folder.  To access this file you will need to use the Security tab. "I click on the link to Security tab and another dialog box appears asking"to continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties.  Do you want to continue? "I'm obviously the administrator because I have this computer and I'm the only account on it.  From this point, I don't know what I do or what I'm supposed to do to recover my files.  I played a bit with a couple of things and I was able to get into certain folders, but its an extremely long process that I don't have the time for.  A side effect of which in fact so I can see the files, is that for any movie file, I try to access it, I get an error.  When I try to open it with Windows Media Player, I get the error "Windows Media Player cannot access the file.  The file may be in use (which is not the case), you won't have access to the computer where the file is stored (which is not supposed to because the computer on which it is stored my personal computer), or your proxy settings are may not be not correct (what?). "If I try to use another program like VLC media player, I get a similar problem where an error comes up saying that it was impossible to access the file.  I can see the file and see the properties but I am unable to actually see the film.  I can't move the file anywhere because I don't have administrative rights.  I'm under Windows 7 Ultimate, and if someone could help me please, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Ridley,

    I see that this problem is old enough but you (or others) may have problems with it. Here's what I did:
    -Got to your hard drive and right click on the folder that is causing all the trouble.
    -Click on properties.
    -Click on the Security tab
    -Then click on advanced
    -You will see a window with a few user names. Now click on owner in the tabs above.
    -Click on edit, then select the user name you want to open the folder and don't forget to tick the box that says "Replace the owner of subcontainers and objects", then click on apply.
    A pop will come which says something like "You have replaced the property for the selected records" or something in this way. It worked for me and I hope this post is helpful for some people.
