    If you have the following AV, antivirus, programs installed, close your Windows Defender. Purpose of these AVs have their own advocates. 2 defenders on the same machine will create conflicts.
    Bottom line: it's ok. It's normal.

    Norton
    McAfee
    AVG
    Microsoft Security Essentials

    If you don't have AV programs above, here's how to restart Windows Defender:

    topic status , it must be said... Has begun
    under Startup Type, it must be said... Automatic

  • Receives the following message after opening a downloaded game: 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hello!
    So I'm at the end of my rope with this one... it lasts for months, and I keep revisitng every two weeks to try and fix that and every time to be completely frustrated.  I found this forum tonight, so here goes...

    We downloaded a few games on the HP Games Web site.  We download them and everything works fine.  Then, we will open the games and this pop up error message:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    These games used to run fine, and I have no idea why they now have problems.  We have a Vista operating system, 1 account who is the administrator, the Parental control is disabled (or if we believe).

    If anyone can please help it would be much appreciated!  We have a monthly membership to this site of game and continue to accumulate credits, but may not use it.  It makes us crazy!

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello Heathie,

    Thank you for posting.  It seems that the program is no longer on your computer.  This can happen if the game files are deleted, but the game itself has not been uninstalled correctly.  I recommend you to download the game again to a location on your computer where you can easily find and install it.  This should fix the problem.

    Please let me know if this helps you.

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

    I downloaded a game and I'm going to open and it says Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    The thing is I had this game on this laptop before and worked fine.

    But every time that there is a update for the game, you have to uninstall it and then reinstall it.

    When I reinstalled it.

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

    It's windows 8, I am using.

    What is the problem?

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    You can try to temporarily disable the antivirus program and check the results. It can also occur if you have not enough permission to run the file.

    Caution:

    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 need to 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, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    No, you need the product key for Windows 7, Windows 7 uses its own unique product key. What you can do is to reload the old hard drive, and then try to recover the product key:
