If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

Hi birdylod,

Hi Jemd3,
I suggest you to completely remove Norton of the system using Norton Removal Tool and check if the problem persists.

Maybe it's that your computer is affected by virus and malware. I suggest you run an online anti-virus scan and a scan for Malware. See the links below.

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.

XP tells me high when I opened a shortcut of the exe from my office. (PC-1)
The shortcut points to an exe file that is located on another pc xp on my peer-to-peer network. (PC-2)
Other PCs on the same network work very well do the same thing. In my research on it, I think it has something to do with me changing the name of PC - 1, after that I created the shortcut. (the shortcut works prior name change) Recreate the shortcut is not do me everything right.
Unfortunately I do not have restore points to return and I have no restore for this PC no more disks.Help! What can I do?

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!

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.
