Hey guys,.
I am running Vista on my laptop Toshiba P200D. Recently I was making an error whenever I try to open the files that I downloaded from the internet. The message I get is "windows cannot access the specified device path or file. you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item "."
I tried,
- Safe mode (not to fix)
- (No luck) system restore
- check security options - I have full access to the file.
I am running Vista 32 bit. I have avast antivirus running, but is not working and im unable to uninstall it.
Any help will be accepted with gratitude,
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
PS I'm the system administrator.
I do not fashion without failure, I advised a SafeMode with networking for network access using a wired connection to download and install Anti-Malware programs.
If this does not work:
Download/save the removal of Avast on a friend's computer tool > transfer it using a Flash Player > uninstall the corrupt Avast.
Which can be the source of the problem.
As you can not turn it off:
If under warranty, contact the manufacturer of your laptop.
If this is not the case, take it to a reputable repair shop, computer room.

It all started when I tried to configure a standard user account for a person who will be watching my house for next week. I am in the Properties tab of the C: drive and is under Security then changed the security to "ban" the person the right of access to the C: drive. In doing so, we me "Administrator" also deny access to the c: drive. Now I'm stuck. Help, please
Hello
· Make sure you have this problem in safe mode.
· Diagnose the drive in the search for errors
· Make sure you have no virus
Method 1:
I suggest to restore the system to the Windows recovery environment and check to see if it helps:

Method 2:
Try to access the files in safe mode. You can click the link below to see how you can start in safe mode in Windows Vista.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
Method 3:
Try to take permission of the drive in safe mode.
(a) open your computer and right click on your hard drive.
(b) go to Properties.
(c) click Security.
(d) click on Edit under a quote "To change permissions, click Edit."
(e) click on Add.
(f) typeeveryone"in the white box.
(g) then check in the "total " box Control
(h) press OK.This makes the hard drive usable by everyone (all users and different computers)
Also see link below to troubleshoot "access denied" when opening files or folders.
Hope that this information will be useful

Original title: help me :((
My computer won't let me open anything, if I click on what anyone outside of the internet it says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item"? How can I get permission? :((((((
Your profile seems to be corrupted. I could do this:- Create a new account. This also creates a new profile.
- See if the problem is resolved.
- If this is the case, move your data from the old account to the new account. To do this, you must temporarily promote your new administrator-level account.
Next time you have a problem like that, try to solve it immediately. The "System Restore" mechanism would have probably fixed it for you in ten minutes.

Wipe the entire machine and install the latest OS without login password.
The person who gave you the computer is supposed to have done this before giving it to you. Restore the computer to them and tell them to clean the hard disk, remove all their information from the administrator.

Original title: problems cannot do anything
Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can't have__appropriate the permissions to access the item. I get it all the time can not download anything
Hi birdylod,
· What version of the operating system is installed on the computer?
· You did changes to the computer before the show?
· You use Internet Explorer? If so, what version are you using?
· What files you download?
Follow these methods.
Method 1: Performs a search using the Microsoft safety scanner.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
Method 2: Follow these steps:
Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.
Startup options (including safe mode)
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode with networking, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the link step 7 to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

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.
Zack

message error "windows cannot access the specified device path or file.
After updating all upgrades of Windows and restarting my computer, I get the error message "windows cannot access the specified device path or file" on all my programs. I tried to go to the 'system restore', but it won't let me access that is. I am running Windows XP on a Dell Vostro 400
Tried to start the restoration of the system from the Windows Advanced Options menu and he tried to restore from the last successful boot - unfortunately the last successful upward included the problem start
Restarted in safe mode and not run Chkdsk/r - no found error - problem persists.
Finally found my Dell operating system disk and went into the Boot Menu at startup screen and set it to Boot from the Dell operating system CD
After the CD started, I went to reinstall Windows, and he gave me an option for repair
The relocation process took about 30 minutes to complete, but he reinstalled all missing or damaged files that were the cause of the problem
Fixed a problem!
Thanks Mike - You're on the right track!
