here's the problem: If I double-click on an Excel file, I get the following message: "Windows cannot find /path/. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." Excel opens up fine, but without the workbook. If, within Excel, I open the file up using OfficeOrb -> Open, it opens just fine.

View 4 Replies View Relatedi decided to install Medieval 2 Total War yesterday after months of not playing it, it installed fine and everything but when i went to click on the shortcut on the desktop it came up with the following message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item So, i'm on the admin account and i've tried re installing but its the same message.
I tried to install CoD4 just now but when i put the disk in and clicked install nothing happened, just like when i try and launch medieval 2 from the disk (i only get the message when i use the shortcut). I also get the same message when i try and install the software for my webcam, i go to my computer and click the disk drive but the same message comes up! I can launch games i've already installed, just not games i actually want to play! Maybe something i've done is blocking it?
When I try to open some of my programs they won't open or run.A message box opens and says: "WINDOWS CANNOT ACCESS THE SPECIFIED DEVICE PATH OR FILE.YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE APPROPRIATE PERMISSIONS TO ACCESS THE ITEM."I get this too if I try a program from the toolbar,and sometimes when I open I.E.8 but it still opens.Vista x32. This box also appears when I download and prevents it from downloading.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have three computers networked together via a Linksys Wireless Router. One Dell running XP Pro, and two HP laptops (wireless) one running Vista Ultimate x64 and the other running Vista Home Premium x32. I have all issues resolved (that I've discovered so far anyway) except one. There is a shared external hard drive conneced via USB to the XP, which I have mapped to both Vistas. I can see it when I open 'My Computer' but when I click on it I get an error that says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to view the item." The odd thing about it is that I can access the contents of the drive by right-clicking on it and choosing either 'explore' or 'open.' I can access drives mapped from the Vista(s) to the XP on the XP just fine, just not the other way around.

I have Vista Home Premium. With WinXP, the path to a file appeared in a text box at the top of Windows Explorer. So it was easy to copy and paste the path (for example, into a DOS console). Is there an option that allows us to display this path in Vista?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWindows Vista 64 home premium is arguably the most popular Operating System worldwide (for new computers) I have a legitimate copy of Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit DVD in my possession, with the key ready, and everything.
1. A consumer cannot upgrade xp Professional to vista HOME edition without a clean install
2. A consumer cannot upgrade a 32 bit OS to 64 bit OS without a clean install
3. Theres no such thing as XP Home 64 bit OS
4. The upgrade key fails to activate a clean install (works upgrade only)
There seems to be no upgrade path available. Is this true? If this is true, isnt the concept of a 64 bit Vista Home premium Upgrade DVD useless? and if that is also true, then why did microsoft sell me this DVD?
I have reciently started to use windows vista and am now very familiar with all parts of it but there is one problem I wish to find out more about. In windows XP the "My Documents folder was lacated in a very logical place, on vista it is just called "Documents" and is arranged differently. My images and music etc are seperate from Documents folder and are all subfolders in my user profile. My question is: Is this path for Documents folder correct or should it be located in another place: "C:UsersUsers NameSaved GamesDocuments ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedThere are discussions on this general subject but no aparent resolution. About two months ago I was sometimes prevented from opening photo attachments on some emails received from the same party and sometimes could open them. By this I mean, I would click on the paperclip where a list of photos would appear and I'd click on on photo and I'd get a message saying: "Windows cannot find file name (photo captions used by sender).jpg. Make sure your typed the name correctly and then try again." Well, of course I didn't type the file name; the sender did. I could click on the save attachments, and once saved to a folder I could open them from the folder. I forwarded the mail to others, and they report no problems in viewing the photos. I can also view the photos in the email itself, but it would be necessary to scan up and down and from left to right to view the whold photo and the caption would not appear.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen you are in explorer and are manually typing in a long folder path or at a command prompt navigating through many directories, below are two cool tips that will help you save time.
The first is one that I have been using for years. When working at a command prompt, instead to typing in the full text of an item, just hit the tab key to bring up full items. For example, say I want to change the directory to the Windows folder. At a command prompt I would type in CD wind and then hit the tab key and "Windows" will automatically show up. Think of the tab key as a kind of auto complete for DOS. This same technique also works in Windows Explorer.....
Don't seem to be able to find a group about windows 7 ? Is it under some other name?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn the process of trying to get current (I am within 2000 messages) with the messages in this group, I have seen many requests for help with problems about attachments. I am interested in helping diagnose the problem if I can.
I don't need help with a workaround; I don't mind saving attachments, which works for me. I am a developer with Visual Studio 2008 and such and I will attempt to diagnose the problem if possible.
I had assumed I don't have the problem but I am getting the following when I try to view a jpeg attachment:
"Windows cannot find 'Photo0192.jpg'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
Is that the same problem most people are getting when they have a problem
with attachments?
The only thing I am aware of that might have caused a problem is that I installed IE 8 when it was still very buggy, and then I uninstalled it.
Later at some point Windows Update re-installed IE 8 (I assume that happened when IE 8 was released). I assume that since most people encountering the problem are non-technical, they would not have installed a beta version of IE 8.
Could the problem be a security problem? If so, could it might help to audit security failures? I am not sure of the details of doing that, but I am interested in trying things such as that if it helps diagnose the problem for Microsoft to know what to fix.
