Windows Explorer error 0x8007007A: "the data area passed to a system call is too small" and will not accept simple word doc to a new file

I have seen questions about this error in Re (with no response) Task Manager, but it popped up just for me just trying to move a document to a new file (file) in Windows Explorer.  I'm not a techie.  I use a new Windows 7 laptop, networked with a desktop computer running XP - live files on the XP, so I guess it's an XP issue.  The file tree is quite long. I tried to delete and recreate the folder.  No luck.   New - I got a few word documents in a folder, I created a folder under the original, tried to move word documents & PDF files in the folder and suddenly get this error.  I created thousands of new records - never saw this before.

The previous times I've seen that error (regarding printer installation issues or Scheduler tasks), if seemed to be linked to a care/firewall Windows. Just to smile, have you tried to disable any software firewall/security (temporarily) and see if that makes a difference.

BTW, it's a new show (as a few update/install can be causing it) or always happened?

    Hello paddyd701,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    How you try to synchronize the documents with network folder folder?  I have included information below as well as the two links below with respect to the implementation.  Please let us know status.  Thank you!

    Synchronization and sharing

    Synchronization with other devices such as portable music players and Windows Mobile devices. With Sync Center, you can keep devices in sync, manage how your devices sync, start a manual sync, see the State of synchronization operations and look for conflicts.

    You can also share files and folders with people on your network, even if they use a computer that is not running Windows. When you share files and folders, other people can open and view files and folders as if they were stored on their own computers. And that they can make changes, if you let it.

  • The error of data passed to a system call is too small - Vista

    Hello

    I was installing a new printer Zebra. He ended that the pilot needed to be updated and when I try to do it I get "the data area passed to a system call is too small". The printer driver is by UPS to their Worldship, but the tech tell me that the problem is mine to solve. I can't find anything about this error with the exception of SQL Server 2000. However, I am under Vista Business. Any help on that would be great because I am now without a printer because of this crazy problem. Thank you and have a great day!

  • The copy of Windows Vista is not genuine and will not accept the product key.

    Original title: my copy of Vista has just decided that it is more authentic and does not accept my product key. Why?

    Can you re - activate my product key or simply give me a product that works properly & constantly?

    If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it manually:

    To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

    To solve the real problem, repost on the Forum of real advantage to:http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/threads.

  • Firefox will not load https pages. gives the security warning and will not accept an exception.

    I had problems with Firefox and some sites for about a year, and it is located in my laptop. I have no problems when using my desktop at work or my dad's cell phone in his house. Some sites simply returns a page of text style; no html. Other sites give me a security certificate warning and FF will not accept an exception for this site, either by clicking the button or manually enter the site as an exception. Tonight, GOOGLE will not load again! Why, it's trying to load on an https server, I don't know, however. Several other sites have also begun does not not and are also trying to load it on a secure server.

    Use Kaspersky, AVAST 2015, ESET, BitDefender or Microsoft family safety? These are among the most popular security programs which have a function to intercept your Internet connections and filter your traffic. When it's a secure site, in order to be able to decrypt and inspect your communications, the software must present a false certificate for Firefox. Sometimes, the software is not able to configure Firefox for this, or if you use the function of Reset of Firefox, the trust is broken and needs to be put in place again.

    Unfortunately, the same symptoms can appear with some malicious software.

    If you look at the second half of the post of Philipp, you see where you can check the section 'From' the certificate. This usually allows to identify the culprit. Can you take a look and report what you find?

  • When I try to connect to the wireless router, it asks you the password I put it and he then asked again and will not accept the password. all other computers (without windows 7) connect correctly.

    My new computer has windows 7 when I try to connect it to my router it ask the password, then he asks the network password I put in the same password and it does not accept it. I spent ove an hour on the phone with a very helpful and confused expert to the Virgin. He tells me that the password only I need to communicate with the router is the main. We tried a lot of things all very technical and finally he gave up. Other computers with vista on connect very well with no problems at all.

    The network is fine and all the settings are fine. Occasionally, it connects via a home network but then it stops. When I try to communicate with the printer wireless signal stops and starts.

    I don't hold much hope of a response that experts were left very confused by this first abandoned after 45 minutes and the second lastered over an hour are totally flumaxed and blame windows 7

    But everyone told me that windows 7 was supposed to be the best

  • Updated to the new Photoshop CC 2015: work plan and the background are both white I can't see any outline. Will not change when I try to get a different background color.

    This seems almost elementary but I tried everything literally, the only thing I can think is that this is a bug.

    When I'm working on work plans, they are white and the background is white, so I don't quite see the outline. I tried to change the background color to dark gray or any other color, but nothing works. I restarted my computer, the software, everything. Nothing works. It only happens to me, everyone in my company isn't the problem. We checked out the contrast on my computer and it's all good. I had two different designers tinker around with it and they say it must be a bug because they have tried everything they can and I also.

    Now I simply add a grey box dark to my work plans so I can see the sketch, but it's really annoying, I have to do, especially since I work with Photoshop 4 hours per day.

    You must set your GPU options in preferences to something other than "Bacic."
