• Backup of Windows 7 - the system cannot find the specified path, error Code 0 x 80070003

  I have serious problems back up my own machine to a share on our FILE SERVER as \\FILE-SERVER\Backup\

  I have already backed up another PC using exactly the same settings I used on my PC successfully.  So I guess it's nothing to do with the FILE SERVER or the backup settings.  There must be something to do with what I'm trying to backup of my machine.

  First, some background.  This exercise was started when Windows Server 2008 r2 o/s fell one of our servers.  I tried to reinstall the operating system several times, without success.  In the end, I caught another drive and rebuilt the o/s on the server.  Then I got in trouble by promoting to a domain on the network controller.  In the end, I've renamed server FILE Server for FILE SERVERS.

  We share regularly four records on what is now the FILE SERVER:

  \\FILE-SERVER\Backup - a folder where the backups of all other devices are written, so that they will be saved with the server

  \\FILE-SERVER\Company - contains all of the data of our company

  \\FILE-SERVER\GEM - this is for our own database application

  \\FILE-SERVER\Install - contains all the installation files for the software we use

  These are all inmates on a RAID 1 array that is separate from the system drive that covered.

  On my laptop, I had made these "Available offline" shared folders, while I still had everything that is available to me when I was away from the office.  They were of course shared under \\FILESERVER\... not \\FILE-SERVER\... Before the server down, I had backup works fine on my machine.

  After having got the server up and going again, I started going there from the WIndows 7 Client PC backups again.  I started with a desktop computer, which of course have not all offline files.  This turned out to be relatively simple.

  Then, I started with my machine.  Initially I did not 'Available offline' folders shared meanings.  I created my backup using exactly the same settings that had worked OK on the desktop.  But when I ran the backup I got:

  The system cannot find the specified path, error Code 0 x 80070003

  I tried all sorts of things to make it work:

  • with or without an image of the system.
  • reducing the backup in a single folder.
  • do it again 'available offline files

  Nothing makes no difference.  In the end, I looked in the Sync Center to look at the offline files folder.  Under mapped network drives I discovered that I still had the files and folders in \\FILESERVER.  In their Menu Popup 'Always available offline' is grayed out.  So I deleted the Copies offline.  This delete the files in the folders but not files.

  Since I could find no way to delete the old mapped network drives.  I decided that I had painted myself into a corner.  So I bit the bullet and re-installed my laptop too.  This will get rid of the unwanted old mapped network drives - BUT NOT the ERROR!

  HELP - I'm running out of ideas!

  I have a WORD Document that all the settings that I used on the server and Clients, as well as the reasoning behind these settings, documents, but I can't find a way to download.

  Hi Brian,.

  These problems occur because the folders or libraries that you are trying to back up or restore include a reparse point.
  Analytical points are similar to shortcuts Windows or Unix symbolic links. A point of analysis can be used to point to a file that is moved temporarily to a different drive. For example, a reparse point would a folder such as C:\DVD to point to drive E, the real DVD player.

  Perform the steps from the link below and see if the backup works.

  Windows backup or restore 0 x 80070001, 0 x 81000037 or 0 x 80070003 errors  

  If you work with Windows Server 2008 and the mapped drives, I would recommend that you post the question in the TechNet forums.

• System cannot find the specified file "[path]" \hpzshl.ice_suffix.. ". exe"on Windows 8.1

  I've updated my OS to Windows 7 64-bit edition of Windows 8.1 pro 64-bit, and when you try to reinstall the software and the driver for my printer HP Officejet J4580 all-in-one I get all sorts of errors. It worked perfectly on Windows 7.

  I get the most common error is: System cannot find the specified file "[path]" \hpzshl.ice_suffix.. ". exe', as well as the facility is abandoned.

  I tried a lot of solutions from the HP Web site and these forums, but my problem is still there.

  I already tried the long solution presented here:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-all-in-one-install-Setup/install-error-quot-the-system-cannot-f...

  and

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04206080

  I even found the directory where installation has been decompressed and copied to the desktop, but the error persists.

  I need the complete software because I need to use my printer Officejet scanner, so I can't just simply print drivers.

  I need desperate help on getting this new work.

  Specifications of the computer:

  CPU: Intel Core i7 - 4820 K Quad-Core 3.70 GHz 10 MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2011

  : DDR3 memory / 1866 MHz Quad Channel 16GB (4GBx4)

  Printer: HP Officejet J4580 all-in-one; connected via USB

  OS: 8.1 Pro 64 bit Windows

  GPU: AMD Radeon R9 200 series

  I finally solved it by myself after many hours of pain.

  I clean any installation of HP from my computer using the HP Officejet software and driver removal utility:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=MP-110151-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4158&product=3645100&sw_lang=

  After the computer restarts, I moved on the desktop, the installation directory unpacked that HP printer install wizard for Windows had previously downloaded and launched.

  I deleted all files in the directory %Temp%.

  I disabled McAfee antivirus real time and Windows Deffender analysis.

  I ran the setup.exe in the installation directory in my office.

  The installation is smoothly and completed. I have already tested the printer and all features function normally.

  I hope these steps help someone with similar problems to get the software installed.

• 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.

  Hi KAD Rebar,.

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. When was the last time it was working fine?
  3. Are you having similar problem with all the files you are trying to move or remove it from the computer?
  4. You have security software installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Any help would be appreciated.
           

  Hey Jihirshu,

  It looks like permissions.

  Try this on one of the files on the disk to see if it allows you to copy the files.

  1 right click on the file, then select Properties
  2. click on the Security tab
  3. click on change, in the name box, type "Everyone".
  4. in the boxes next to the permissions below, put 'Total control' for everyone
  5. click OK, and then close the dialog boxes
  6. try to copy the file that you just modified.

  If the works above, you must change the permissions on all the files you want to copy.  Normally, you can just highlight all the and follow the steps above to change the permissions on all files at the same time.

• Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

  Hello

  I recently changed to use AVG free Antivirus Vista 2010 edition and since then (next day) seems to be locked out almost everything on the computer other then IE.  Open any kind of .exe translates into "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item. "I can access the Control Panel, but when I try to run something (a user restore Sys account) nothing happens or I get the same error.  I can not even access/cmd?

  Operating system is vista 64 bit home premium
  Computer has 1 which is defined as administrator SP1
  Tried to do a restore of the system in normal mode and safe, the two will not start.

  I have a feeling I know what the problem is, that when you look at the properties > Security "Progam files" in the 5 groupnames user administrator has not enabled in the lower area of permissions?  Guess a virus has locked all accounts to use the machine key files? (When editing and allowing the admin to have full control etc. in written authorization, I get an "access denied" Message.)  Be honest this really problems out of my PC knowledge, I would usually just reformat if I hit I can't solve a problem, but this time reformating is not the best option.

  Thanks in advance for any help, I would really appreciate it, it left me speechless!

  PS. read through the similar questions and have used the "fix windows' programs, with nothing working or me being not able to access something used.

  Hi Dany88,

  First of all, I would say that you uninstall security antivirus vista 2010 of computer software, since there are several questions on the computer after installing. This software may have created conflicts between other programs on the computer.

  As you face problems to access items from 'Control panel', I would say you visit the security software vendor's Web site and search a tool of suppression using which you can uninstall the software.

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If questions are set after uninstalling security software, I suggest that you change the security antivirus vista to some else software or contact the vendor of the software for more information.

  I would also say that you are investigating the computer by using the methods mentioned in the link below.

  Hello

  Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

  You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

  If it does not remove the problem and or work correctly in normal mode do work above in safe mode with networking

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  also run the sfc/scannow command.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

  If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation
