Windows 7 won't let me access the files (my documents, my downloads), but the programs work very well!
Currently, I am running windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop I built. My computer starts up fine, no problem when I connect and I can run all my programs like itunes, security suite norton, chrome, Picasa and Microsoft word work completely fine. There is no problem to save things on Word view my photos on Picasa (which is on the C drive) or by playing songs on itunes (which means that I can access my hard drive through programs), but when I try to open the downloads folder, it shows a popup that says: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. "and does not open the file. The problem is that I AM the administrator account on the computer! However, when I open things in my libraries such as My Documents or my music, there just a blank page, saying that I have no files in this folder, but I have files in all of these files: photos, all my music itunes and documents.
The interesting thing is that I can save documents to the word to My Documents and it will be displayed at the beginning, but when I close the My Documents window and reopen it, the file disappeared and the folder is 'empty' again.
Currently. I have 2 hard drives connected, a seagate 1 TB and a supplement of 250 GB. Both of these drives appear in disk management, so that the computer knows and is able to see are how many gb on them. Apart from this recognition, when I open the start menu and press computer, it only shows my USB and my CD player, nor of my hard drives. I know that computers are connected correctly as they hum and dry as usual. I am very worried about what is, be it a virus, bad connection, settings that have been changed for any reason any.
Please help me understand why Windows 7 won't let me access my files through programs, but not in Finder Windows, I have very important files on this computer that I can't lose!
Windows 7 has a feature of self defense which is a pain.
He doesn't like files from other computers,
Right-click on the folder and select properties and see if there is a release button.
Repeat for external drives.

I have first items 13, recently installed on a new laptop of Dell Inspiron 17 5000 Series. The program works very well. However, when I have access to the program, I get a message that there is an update available, 13.1. I let him go ahead and do the update before using the program. It only updated, then restarts first elements 13. As soon as the program loads, I again get the message that 13.1 update is available. How to stop the happy ground?
RTA,
Thank you very much for your answers. As you suggest, I went to the help/updates and found that 3 points were scored update, Manager, 13 Photoshop and first elements 13 elements. On a hunch, instead uncheck one of them, I thought I'd see what would happen to let update all 3. It took a while, but, long story short, stopped the happy Vangogh and everything seems fine. Thank you for your messages, much appreciated. Walt Maken

I am the administrator of the computer and the computer won't let me access the list allow and block my child's account. I'll bring my parental control password, click on my childs account, put parental controls, go to web filter and click on block some web sites, click on edit the allow and block list and the computer tells me that it is not able to make changes to parental controls settings and see the system administrator if the problem persists.
Hi Ranw,
· What is the error message when you try to change parental controls?
· Have you been able to make any changes on this computer from your account earlier?
You can follow the steps below and check if you can make changes to the parental controls on your computer.
Step 1:
Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result. Access the link below and follow the steps to disable UAC.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-user-account-control-on-or-off
Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.
Step 2:
I suggest to create a new administrator account and log later in the new administrator account, try to set parental controls and check if it works.
Create a user account:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Create-a-user-account
Check out the link below to check if the parental control is properly set:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/set-up-parental-controls
I hope this helps. Let us know the result.
Thank you and best regards,

We have all the products associated with this Adobe ID
If you have a product that has not yet been saved, simply enter the serial number below and we will check if it qualifies.
@smurf4t1 - I alerted the team responsible for the page special offers.
The text "offer is available to all users registered for individual products and suites, CS3 or later." Not available for education or volume license customers' does not specify what products or are not eligible.
The error message "We have all the products associated with this Adobe ID" is also not not clear since you subscribed to Photoshop Elements.
Here's the email I believe that you have received:
You click the join now button yellow and one open page within your browser that looks like this:
If you happened to click on the learn more or the links to full promotional terms , nor stated that Photoshop Elements were not eligible.
When your Adobe ID and password and clicking on the blue connect button you showed the error message "we have all the products associated with this Adobe ID" whose screenshot you usefully provided. You expect to see this:
If you have followed a different set measures please correct me, but I'm guessing it was your steps. You can reply to this post or send me an email to [email protected].

Apple TV won't let me access the Disney shows
I already went through the code and connected to my direct tv account a few days ago. Everything worked very well! I was able to access all the Disney watch I wanted. But today after I just made a movie on the Disney app, I went to click on the following and an ERROR came up saying that I have to change my parental control because I'm not allowed to watch it. This now he tells ALL about the Disney app even shows I've already looked at. In addition, I don't have my parental control in my settings... I re set my apple tv and that nature has not worked. I got it for 3 days... Help, please!
Are there perhaps parental control settings on behalf of DirecTV or in the application of Disney?
Have you checked the ATV settings to ensure that they are not activated?

Something happened that broke my remote desktop connection.
System-Win 7 Pro, with enabled Remote Desktop connections. (Static IP, router configured for port before any RDP to this system)
For a few years now, I had access to this system via desktop remote with all the problems. I have connected by using the name of the computer on the local network and have also connected using the public IP address with a problem. Name of user and password for one, way worked fine.
The other day there was a power outage or something, most of my systems was suddenly restarted or turned off, and my router had to be reset. Not sure if this is a coincidence of bad, but now the problem is that connection via the public IP address I get "your credentials did not work" when you try to connect. However, if I connect using the host name within the local chapter of the network of the same name to username/password work very well because they always have.
That's happened. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. My remote user cannot log on this system. Help, please!
Thank you for taking the time to answer, it's really appreciated. I could solve the problem. I don't know how, but if finally started working again. I have reset my network card and reset IP address static of the machine, that I tried to connect. And after some back and forth with that, all of a sudden he was still working. I was suspicious that my router was causing the trouble because the login failure was due to the fact that I've been routed to another computer, even if the rules of the if correct port forwarding. I just he blamed on the PC from Gremlins. I'll keep this info for future use. Some how all refreshed and began to work again properly.

My side scroll bars do not work by clicking and dragging. They don't even show when I pass the cursor over them when they are at the top of the page. If I use the drop-down arrow at the bottom, they will come with one click at a time. Then, when they are a couple of inches high, I can choose them and they work fine. Is the same for the menu items at the TOP OF THE PAGE THE. Very frustrating. Even this page. If I scroll down too far and then try to type in this box (because it is now near the top of the page), nothing happens. I can also use the menu to make the bold or italic scrip... nothing on this bar at the top of this box... unless I scroll a couple of inches.
This problem may be caused by the Yahoo! toolbar as scopes as well down and covers the top of the browser window, allowing links in this part of the screen not clickable.
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

Windows 7 won't let me change the settings to import images
HelloI hope someone can help with this one!When I try to import images using Auto play "Import pictures and videos using windows" dialogue opens that gives me the choice of 'Mark' photos. The import settings"(in blue) shows also available to change the import settings but when I click it nothing happens? Out of curiosity I went to profiles, my partner profile has attempted to do the same thing and when I clicked on the "import setting" a new dialog box open for inviting me to make changes, I tried. So my question is:
Why does Windows 7 let me not change my own profile import settings, and how do I reset the import settings?I have searched questions and knowledge base but cannot find an answer to my specific problem.Any help is appreciated!LaurieHello
I suggest to create a new user account and check. If it works in a new user account, then probably your user account have been damaged and would need a fix.
Create a user profile.
