Why do I get the access denied error message when you are logged in as administrator?

"Error" failed to create the file 'C:\Windows\Fonts\[font name]. " Access is denied. "

is received when I try to install a font by being logged on as administrator (I'm the only person who uses this)
computer with password protection guest no account)

or when I use WinZip the fonts folder is not available

The fonts folder is blocked with a "read-only" access  I can't find any way to change the permissions on the folder (there is no security tab), and any attempt to change the status of reading is has met an insufficient privileges error message.  I notice that the fonts have been added during the last few days several times but I have nothing personally for it - he did alone (how I don't know).  I admit be baffled by your inability to add fonts using your CD (even though I'm reasonably sure it's read-only permission which is at the origin of the problem). I use Vista Business SP2 32-bit and my comments were based on it.  I never really tried to install fonts on my system, so I don't know if I would have the same problem - I presume that I would give for the same reasons.  The article I posted http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Install-or-uninstall-fonts explains how to install individual fonts in formats of special fonts - it does not how to do when you use a CD with an install button.  Have you tried right-clicking on the button install to see if it brings up the run as Administrator option (it probably won't)?  Here is another article on how to install fonts: http://www.lytebyte.com/2007/07/03/how-to-install-new-fonts-in-windows-vista/.  If you link to the CD player will be able to see the individual fonts and "select all" or according to which you want to install - instead of using the installation with the CD button (if you can find the right folder (s)).  Here is an article from third on the installation of the http://www.windowsreference.com/windows-vista/how-to-install-fonts-in-vista/ fonts that suggests using the install button should work as should drag / drop it into the fonts folder - thought we seem to be having trouble with these procedures (and I think he did the permissions block which I can't imagine why he's here or why there is no security tab allows you to adjust).

Maybe someone with more knowledge (like Engineer Support or an MVP) see this thread and respond with a solution.  In the meantime, I'm puzzled.

Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • Get the "layer break" error message when you try to preview a DVD single sided, or build a disk folder or ISO image

    Hello!  Hoping someone may be able to help with a strange problem.  I have not found anything in the forums or on the web that match my symptoms.

    I use Encore CS6 (v6.0.1.013) on a MacBook to the retina year last to create successfully a number of single-sided DVD with menus, chapters and all that.  I usually make a copy of a previous project to DVD, then replace the video media with the new files and transcodes them, move and rename chapter markers and rework the menus in Photoshop.  I will then build the ISO images to DVD and Blu - Ray (both single-sided) and use them to burn multiple copies of each DVD for customers.

    This week, all by developing one of these projects, trying to create an ISO from DVD image that looked like it would take on a 4.7 GB DVD, I received the message "layer break" ("the chosen layer break does not double layer requirements.  To resolve this problem, set a new layer break manually or choose to automatically set the layer break. ") because (I guess) the material was too long for the 4.7 GB DVD (generation screen now shows approximately 5 GB of material are in the project).  This is the first time I've seen this message - usually just tells me that the material is too big for the DVD.

    I re-transcoded the material down to well under 4.7 GB (about 3.9 GB), returned and replaced the files transcoded, and now the generation of DVD screen shows that there are approximately 700 MB of free space on a 4.7 GB DVD.  But I have not yet able to build any version of the DVD (image, folder, drive), without the message 'layer break '.  I also now get this message of breaking down even trying any menu, killing my ability to get a preview of the DVD menus in Encore to "Preview from Here".

    Just to see what would happen, I chose a 8.4 GB double layer DVD and selected 'manual' instead of 'auto' for the selection of layer break, but never had the Selection dialog box of a break layer, just the error message "layer break".

    Usually, I build images DVD and Blu - Ray with the same material in the same project.  I use different transcoding settings for each, and I was able to build an ISO from Blu - Ray without this "layer break" error on the Blu - Ray version (which is about 24.5 GB when built).  And as I mentioned earlier, this is the first project where I saw this message of layer break.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  I would rather not to recreate the project from scratch, but I'm worried that I might have to.

    Thank you

    Jon

    Thanks for the quick response!  My problem is that I don't want to make a record double layer - it's a single layer 4.7 GB max project (currently at about 3.5 GB, after removing the extras timeline and asset to see what it might do).  And even when creating a file, I get the error message "layer break", so I couldn't use ImgBurn if I wanted to.

    Thanks for the links - I had seen a lot of them before, but missed a comment from someone, which means that once a layer break set in yet, it cannot be changed.  It makes me wonder if, once again goes in the way of thinking that a rupture of the layer is required, there is no way to disable this behavior.  Has anyone seen this behavior?

    I think my only option at this point is to rebuild the project from scratch, following Neil Wilkes strategy for the command to add assets (I had not paid much attention information previously).  Suggestions are always welcome, however!

  • 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.

    Follow the step on the next page to start the computer in Mode safe.
    Once you start the computer Safe Mode, the built-in "Administrator" account should appear. I'm not saying that your user account is not an administrator account, but just to be sure to use the one built for all purposes it may serve you.

  • I receive the following stop error message when you try to install Windows XP: Stop: 0x0000007B

    I need help with this error code: Stop: 0x0000007B (0xF7C85524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0 x 000000000)

    I'm a noob Microsoft Answers. I have an old computer, I'm trying to reinstall Windows XP.  It's a Dell XPS Dimension 3 (3.40 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4, 1 G of RAM).  It does start normally or in Safe Mode.  I tried to use Fixmbr, Fixboot, Bootcfg/Rebuild, chkdsk/r, Memtest86, Killdisk.  I tried to install using another hard drive (which leads me to believe that it is perhaps a hardware problem).  He gave the same error code, I think, even if I didn't write it.  The only thing I found that I have not tried is "How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup" because it is said that it will not work on OEM devices.  The error code is Stop: 0x0000007B (0xF7C85524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0 x 000000000).  I tried to install Ubuntu on two disks and they have installed and worked properly.  I don't know what else to try except hardware troubleshooting, although I'm not too good with hardware problems.  If you have any recommendations that could put closer me to a resolution I would be very happy!

    PS Windows XP actually ran on the second hard drive, I have tried (which is currently the drive in the machine at this time).  I installed it and it starts directly in Windows.  Yay!  I have restarted this configuration several times without any problems.  But I had a problem with the Microsoft Security Essentials update so I thought that a clean install would be better.  In hindsight, I wish I had tried harder to solve this problem, but I did not.  The first hard drive suffered a crash of Windows led me to be upgraded to a Windows 7 computer.  It was more than 1.5 years ago.  I just thought that the full back story might help.

    Hello

    I'm close to some (but my experience tells me very little is certain at 100%), which has a generic windows installation CD install without the need for the Setup F6 disk, as long as the BIOS is set to RAID Autodetect / ATA (or possibly 'mix'). AHCI is a more efficient disk access method but requires F6 floppy or "slipstreaming". If the CD is already slipstreamed for your PC, AHCI should work without F6. As you say your default BIOS to auto detect RAID/AHCI, I expect a CD specifically for your system to support it, while a generic CD would not.

    I doubt that they will provide F6 floppy but you never know. If you do not ask that you probably won't get.
