Windows 8 will not let me create new folders

I tried to create a new folder by using the "new folder" icon at the top left of the file manager, by using the shortcut CTRL-SHIFT-N and also by selecting new folder on the Home tab in the file manager with the same result - my system hangs just until the File Manager stops responding.  Any suggestions?

Hello

Please try the command SFC/scannow in the administration command prompt and then let us know how it goes.
Hope this helps, good luck :)

  • Thunderbird eliminated most of the records online and will not let me create new ones to replace them and read email stored in them.

The next time I open Thunderbird, all my online except sent and trash folders disappeared, and I could not re - create files that have been deleted.

  • Windows 7 will not let me install my Kodak Digital Camera C875 camera.

    Someone can tell me why Windows 7 will not let me install my camera, worked very well in Visa, any help out there?

  • Windows 8 will not let me move the AppData\Local folder to new drive

    All,

    I wanted to get my user account files from C drive which is a smaller SSD drive at most of my hard drive. I encountered several problems.

    A lot of trial and error, I was able to move each file of folder of the user account to an identical structure on my drive D (a "spinner"). Once I worked on all the kinks, everything worked without problems.

    However, I was unable to move the hidden AppData folder. I discovered there are three subfolders: roaming local and LocalLow. I was able to move LocalLow and roaming without problem. However, Local gave me problems.

    I discovered that the Local had some folders and files under it for which I have no permissions. Once I gained permissions for them, I thought I was on my way. The command to move the folder (using the Properties dialog box) has started working on the transition of 79 000 files. He moved all but 19 of them. He choked on all 12-15 files that have been opened and used by the system and the balance of the 19 had too long of a file name. So, I was disappointed.

    I then decided to create another administrator account and the sign of the current account and connect to the temporary administrator account that I had just created. I thought that I could then move the files because they would not be opened and used by the system. But, when I open the Properties dialog box, the LOCATION tab was gone, so I could not move the files.

    I need answers to two questions:

    • Why Microsoft would give the user a LOCATION tab with a NAVIGATION button, if it was impossible to move the AppData\Local folder?
    • Is there another way that a layman like me can change this setting? Can someone direct me to here? (Such as it is, 2 of the 3 AppData files are on drive D and 1 is always the SSD C drive.)

    Thank you.

    Matt

    OK, I fixed using a symbolic link. I moved my complete record of users. Here are the steps I used:

    • Create a folder on the "C" drive, called "this_is_c" and create a folder on the disk "D", called "this_is_d" - it is only for identification purposes in the later stages.
    • Boot from the Windows 8 Pro disc. (In other words, will not start hard drive.)
    • Do not choose 'Install now' - choose ' repair you computer.
    • Then choose troubleshooting
    • Choose Advanced Options
    • Then choose command line
    • The player that appears corresponds to the player 'X' - which is the recovery disk.
    • Type "C:" to switch to the 'C' drive
    • Type "Dir" and see if you see the folder "this_is_c".
    • If you do not, continue to change letters until you see this folder.
    • It worked that the 'C' drive during this "repair" was maybe the same as my 'C' drive when I boot normally.
    • Find the "D" drive through the same process - that is, try to find the folder "this_is_d".
    • It worked that the "D" drive during this "repair" was maybe the same as my "D" drive when I boot normally.
    • Type this command: xcopy/e/k/o/h/b c:\Users d:\Users see the next chip
    • First drive name must be the name of the drive as the "repair" attributed to your normal boot drive 'C '. The second disc should be burned as it would be during a normal boot. So, in my case, these conditions were the same. Note: use a capital 'U' for users instead of lowercase 'u' in users.
    • Type "D" when prompted.
    • Type the following command: rd /s c:\Users
    • Type this command: mklink /d c:\Users d:\Users
    • Type this command: exit
    • Continue to start.

    This will create a symbolic link that will redirect all actions to or from users on 'C' folder in the new folder users on "D". In regards to windows system knows, he is still sending the disk of 'C '. It is just redirected.

    This works perfectly for me. I installed apps and run programs without problem.

    It's a sort of understand. But it works for me.

  • Windows vista will not let upgrade me to windows 7

    had a new hard drive installed on my pc. recovered to the factory specifications and reinstalled PC windows7 home premium.  had worse transtering the backup data.  so I got the pc again, but this time it will not be upgraded because must be running Vista Home Basic sp1.  so I installed the service with some difficulty, but the message indicates that sp1 was intstalled successfully and vista won't upgrade.

    Perform a custom installation of Windwos 7 on Windows Vista:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • "Windows 7 will not let iTunes 11 Internet access."

    I am using Windows 7 32 bit on a laptop computer with ZoneAlarm free firewall/antivirus and Firefox 17.0.1 browser (do not use IE 8 and IE 9 will not even load, so crazy that).  I had no problems with iTunes, Internet access until about two or three Windows updates there, when I was still with iTunes 10.x, I thought that maybe an update to iTunes was in order, so I did and updated to iTunes 11.  That didn't connect to the internet, so I deleted, close ZoneAlarm and reinstalled iTunes.  Still no Internet access even if I have an active Internet connection.  I ran the diagnostic iTunes and found this Windows Firewall - which * he * stop when running ZoneAlarm - does not allow iTunes outgoing access, so I fixed.  Still nothing and it is with the browser able to connect to the network, so I don't know Internet access in itself is not the problem.  I have so stop and you exit ZoneAlarm. still nothing.  Verified that welcomed iTunes Windows Firewall outgoing; It does (in theory; at least she said it does), but STILL nothing!

    It's stupid, because iTunes worked fine until recently.  Is there something other past here between Windows 7 and iTunes I should know about?  Help!

  • The trial version will not let me create a PDF file

    I am trying to create a file of cover of book in PDF format. I created the file in Photoshop, but the 'Save AS PDF' function does not create the type of PDF that I need for the publication of a book through IngramSpark. So I downloaded the trial version of Acrobat Pro DC. It will not open a file I have Photoshop Save as PDF. When I save as a Jpeg, it takes me to the subscription, purchase of the page online. Only, I downloaded the demo yesterday, so I should rest 29 days. Help, please. Thank you!

    1 ok, that makes sense. Yes, you can use the preflight in Acrobat Pro to make this conversion.

    2. the sounds as if something went wrong to make the PDF if Acrobat is not yet open. For example, this can happen if you click on save to JPEG, but type .pdf on the name. Am not saying that it happened, but it's an example. Can describe you step by step how you save the PDF of Photoshop, including the choice of that you pull down. Still, sounds as if you may have fixed this.

    3. the two apps: Acrobat Reader - and - Acrobat Pro. It is a potential mine field. Make sure that you recognize that you are running.

    Have you ever tried to delete the iMovie preferences?  If the elements of the user interface do not, deleting preferences frequently you contribute.

    To delete the iMovie preferences leaving iMovie, runs, and then press and hold options and command key at the same time, at the launch of iMovie. Keep now pressed the buttons firmly until you see a command prompt to remove the preference. Confirm.

    Before you do, take note of all the settings that you made in iMovie preferences panel, so you can put back them later. iMovie will then begin with the Welcome screen.

    When I had a similar problem, the only thing that helped was to create an iMovie library.  Probably a corrupted in the iMovie project current library prevented the creation.   The problem persists, if you test different library in iMovie? You can create a library for testing.

  • Windows 8 will not let me sign

    When we try to connect to our users on our new PC accounts, told us our password is incorrect and if we go to account.live to reset (password).  We tried half a dozen times without success.  I can sign into my hotmail, but not my PC.  Looks like a lot of people have had this problem and we have tried everything we can find, but nothing works.  We can't even get help from microsoft.  does anyone have a solution we are missing?

    I'm Donna G, and I can tell you several things that could be the problem.

    1 Microsoft 8 is a windows I found is very picky and in my opinion, he is jealous of the love of other programs around it, like Explorer 8 because he got more attention and acted up like a small child. Perhaps, if you name your computer while I'm telling you, I named my 1st computer George and used more.

    2. maybe for windows 8, you must write the things he does wrong and things it's just, of course please mention to windows 8 what you are doing and why, cause he knows what you type and if it is wrong to tell him it's o. k. to injure themselves because they don't want * it off right , ?

    3 tell how badly you're going to shoot some of its problems and you might or might not find what the problems are and if you don't find it has all the problems that you're going to ask Mr. Microsoft that you did and you could not know what there problem is. I'm sure Mr. Microsoft could diagnose.

    4. you say windows 8 you will name your computer and that you love it.

  • iCloud do not let us create new e-mail account

    Emails from my son of 2 years have been deleted and we contacted our provider which is extracting their server. The man said that he should take up to 24 hours. He said to check our e-mail settings (which we have not touched for many years, so nothing should change). We checked and everything is the same, but we decided to remove the e-mail account and recreate it, to nine. (There only 9 emails now, it created a folder & put them in so no worries of losing any email.)

    However, iCloud isn't us leaving recreate the email account! Whenever he tries to recreate the e-mail account, it is said: "this account already exists."

    Note: iCloud is disabled on his mac, but he receives her iCloud email on his iPad and iPhone.

    How to re - create his e-mail account on his desk within the e-mail? Thanks for your suggestions. It is on the BONE El Capitan. (Please note that I can also post this question in another category for iCloud issues. Hope that's OK).

    There is no such thing as e-mail. Now, if you say Mail that works on a Mac it is only an e-mail client designed to send and receive mail. If you just want to add a new e-mail account, and then follow the instructions:

  • Windows Live will not open a "dial" new message window

    I have my Windows Live Mail related to my GMail account.  For a long time that I was able to click on a hyperlink to email address, such as those you find on Craigslist and a new window message new message via the software Windows Live Mail would open.  From there, I could write my message and send it, and she would put a copy in the sent items folder of my GMail account.  He won't do that now, when I click on the email address, it will open in a new tab in my browser (Google Chrome) and then I can compose and send from there.

    The main reason I he want to return to the old way, if possible, because it gave me a way to get read receipts where I can't when I send the message directly through GMail.
