  • Windows cannot access the specified device path

    I have a HP 2000 laptop with windows 7. I had problems playing a dvd. I can burn images and photos of viev on cd. When you try to play a dvd a message-" Windows cannot access the specified device path. You can have not permissions to access this item. "I uninstalled the drive so it is reinstalled on reboot of windows. I used to get a flag asking what program to open with. Now to see "cd" should open in my computer.

    I use Google chrome.

    Hey @Stern07 ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are unable to play the DVD on your laptop of HP 2000 by using Windows 7.

    There may be an easier way to solve this problem, but it's the method that I am referring usually to when having this problem:

    1. launch Regedit (Windows key + R > type regedit > click OK).
    2. navigate in the tree of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > DVD > shell > play > order.
    3. double-click on the (default) value on the right side of the split dialog box (String edit dialog box should appear).
    4 copy the contents of the value data field.
    5. click Cancel on the dialog box change the strings.

    Figure 1:

    6. right click on the right side of the split dialog box
    7. Select new-> expandable string value

    Figure 2:

    8. just press ENTER if the cursor is what allows you to change the name of the new value
    9. double-click on the new value that you just created (Edit String dialog should appear)
    10. glue the string that you have already copied in the value data field
    11. click OK in the Edit String dialog box

    Figure 3:

    12. now on the left side of the split dialog box, highlight the folder HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DVD\shell\play\command
    13 right-click and choose export.
    14. save this file in a location of your choice and a name of your choice.

    Figure 4:

    15. close regedit.
    16. go to the location you saved the file.
    17. right click on the file, and then choose the Edit option (expected to launch the file open in Notepad (or any text editor).
    18. you should see something similar to (not just copy and paste what I have below, because this PC has installed WinDVD):

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DVD\shell\play\command]
    @= "Files \"C:\\Program (x86)\\InterVideo\\WinDVD\\WinDVD.exe\ '%1'.
    "New value #1" = hex (2): 22, 43, 00, 00, 3 a, 00 5 c 00, 50, 00, 72, 00, 6f, 00, 67, 00, 72, 00, 61,------.
    00, 6 D, 00, 20, 00, 46, 00, 69, 00, 6 C, 00, 65, 00, 73, 00, 20, 00, 28, 00, 78, 00, 38, 00, 36, 00,------.
    29.00, 5 c, 00, 6F 49, 00, 00, 00, 00, 65, 64, 00, 72, 56, 69, 00, 74, 00, 65, 00, 00, 6f, 00, 5 c,
    00,57,00,69,00, 6F, 00, 44, 00, 56, 00, 44, 00, 5 C, 00, 00, 57, 69, 00, 6F, 00, 00, 56, 44, 00,------.
    44,00, 2nd, 00, 65, 00, 78, 00, 65, 00, 22, 00, 20, 00, 25, 00, 31, 00, 00, 00

    19. now delete the first line:
    @= "Files \"C:\\Program (x86)\\InterVideo\\WinDVD\\WinDVD.exe\ '%1'.

    20. now replace all in front of the remaining line with just the character = @, final result should look like:
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DVD\shell\play\command]
    @= hex (2): 22, 43, 00, 00, 3 a, 00 5 c 00, 50, 00, 72, 00, 6f, 00, 67, 00, 72, 00, 61,------.
    00, 6 D, 00, 20, 00, 46, 00, 69, 00, 6 C, 00, 65, 00, 73, 00, 20, 00, 28, 00, 78, 00, 38, 00, 36, 00,------.
    29.00, 5 c, 00, 6F 49, 00, 00, 00, 00, 65, 64, 00, 72, 56, 69, 00, 74, 00, 65, 00, 00, 6f, 00, 5 c,
    00,57,00,69,00, 6F, 00, 44, 00, 56, 00, 44, 00, 5 C, 00, 00, 57, 69, 00, 6F, 00, 00, 56, 44, 00,------.
    44,00, 2nd, 00, 65, 00, 78, 00, 65, 00, 22, 00, 20, 00, 25, 00, 31, 00, 00, 00

    Figure 5: 

    21 save the Notepad file and close Notepad.
    22. now, double-click the file that you just saved, a warning must appear to say you want to add stuff in the registry.
    23. click Yes to continue.
    24. a dialog box should appear indicating that the values have been added to the registry.
    25 re - open regedit.
    26 cross to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DVD\shell\play\command (you must already be there)
    27. now the value on the side right hand (by default) must have the same data as before, but the Type must indicate that it is REG_EXPAND_SZ

    Figure 6:

    28. now, try to reboot your PC and try to play a DVD.

    Let me know if it works!

  • 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.

    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!
