  • 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.

  • My outlook express won't let emails through. I am getting an authorization and then an error will appear.

    Outlook express won't come through

    My outlook express won't let emails through. I am getting an authorization and then an error will appear. Sometimes it will say: reception of messages, but none will come by.  A box appears and says that he put an end to the connection, maybe because of the connection to the server, the long period of inactivity or network connection. Also, I get a message on and which was completely removed several times on the file inbox and delete. I have no idea how to solve this problem or what I did to make it. I've never experienced this before.

    You probably have the widespread corruption of dbx files. Try in a new identity.

    File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

    Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

    In addition, follow these guidelines to help avoid this in the future.

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • Need help, get permission to edit files. Windows 7 won't let me uninstall or patch my game world of warcraft.

    I have problems with obtaining of permission to change my files, in particular my games like world of warcraft since the upgrade to windows 7.  The game needs to be patched and for some reason, I was not allowed to delete/modify these files.  I tried to uninstall the game and reinstall, but windows will not yet give me permission to uninstall the game. says I need permission to another user. I am the Admin so I don't know what to do. Here are two mistakes that I see.

    The "Warcraft\Launcher.exe C:\Users\Public\Games\World" file could not be read. If the problem persists, you may be able to solve by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to solve this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (CompareVersion)

    you need permission to perform this action
    you need robby-PC/Robby permission to make changes to this file

    Well to be honest, it looks like somebody was playing with the security settings on the Public folder.  And that Robby is now the only one allowed the user to modify the file.

    I would say a click right on the issue of World of Warcraft or games, going to properties, then security, clicking on edit, then adding "everyone" user to it and him giving total control.  Make sure there is no box to Deny checked either to other users.

    Uninstalling it would be unnecessarily laborious given the amount of patches that you would then go and download it again. Paul Smith - MVP for Windows desktop experience...

  • Windows 7 won't let me change the settings to import images

    Hello
    I 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!

    Clean reboot didn't help.

    Question:
    I downloaded, a couple of weeks, a registry clean program AdAware and ran it... It was probably the time that feature automatic updates Windows Update stopped working.
