"You don't have the appropriate permissions to perform this action. For more information contact your system administrator. »

When I go to turn on the UAC through the Windows Security Center, a pop up comes to say "you don't have the appropriate permissions to perform this action.  For more information contact your system administrator. "How can I solve this...

Also, when I try to run msconfig, I get a saying, "you don't have sufficient privileges to run the System Configuration.  Run this utility as a user in the Administrators group. "How do I that?

Thank you for your help on this issue.  I tried everything imaginable, but had to reinstall windows vista and to clean the computer.

    Hi Kim,

    The error messages say about group policy which is the collection of settings that define the appearance of a system and how it behaves for a defined group of users. Microsoft provides a program with a console (Group Policy Microsoft Management Console). The console allows programmers select a GPO that is linked to the directory of centers for domains, organizational units or sites. GPO provides the programmer with security options, the software installation and maintenance options, scripting options and the folder redirection options.

    Hello

    I had some files in my recent windows 7 the name of the color of my files and folders become green but I didn't know what happens later.
    After awhile, I changed my windows and I install the same windows 7 86 x just like before.
    I can't open these files that retain the names of Greens.
    These files are almost JPEG and PSD(Photo shop).
    I can't copy, cut. name change. delete, then open them with any computer, such as windows photo viewer software, photo shop, see ACD and other software.
    I surfed on the Internet and someone said that there is a software which is $ 26 but there is no guarantee that it works and files could not be opened.
    someone said your question to help Microsoft because they are the only one who have the codec for this file.
    Perhaps because the user or changed windows shows this error code.
    If anyone can help, please solution.

    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.
