Windows Cannot Open This Program Because It Has Been Prevented By A Software Restriction Policy
May 28, 2008
Since installing service pack 1, I cannot find windows media player or the Media center. I have looked every where and when I tried to download it again I got the following message. There is a more recent version of Windows Media player (11.0.6001.7000) already installed on your computer. It is not possible to use an older installation package (11.0.5721.5146) to install files or to repair your current version of the player.
I can't even find it to uninstall it and then download it again! I have just found another post which said to right click on the desktop and type in C:|windowsehomeehshell.exe to create a shortcut. This worked but when i tried to open the application using administrstor option I got this message. Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy. For more information contact your system administrator. I am the administrator and I don't know what I'm talking about!! Any ideas please???

i am trying to open Group Policy editor and i cant. i have done it the quick mode and also in administrative tools > edit group policy and it appears this message: 'MMC cannot open the file C:WindowsSystem32gpedit.msc. This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. this may also be because you do not have sufficiento acces rights to the file'' I am in an administrator account and i have Windows Vista Home Premium.

When I click on an advert in Firefox for a trusted website, I am greeted with the popup box saying "The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator". This is also happening on programs which open other programs - all of which I give full permission to do.
I never had this problem on XP and do not know how to remove this restriction on Vista. I am the only user on this computer and hold the administrator account.

Having downloaded Ulead Video Studio 11 Plus (Vista compatible,trial/evaluation version) direct from Corel???s site,saved on a directory,installed, and then trying to open that program, I cannot do it. Does not react at all. UAC is activated ()asking me permision tu continue,AV desactivated during installation,reboot many times. Repeating downloading (from same source as well as from other source as BitTorrent), uninstalling the previous installed one - as per ???cleaning??? procedure I saw in Corel's forum - then re-installing the software, same result. Running as Administrator and adjusting firewall settings accordingly, same result, cannot open the program neither by double-clinking icon on desktop/Start Program nor exe file.Note:
1)There is another Ulead software (licensed),named ???Ulead DVD MovieFactory for Toshiba??? allready installed, working perfectly.
2)I???m using a Notebook Toshiba Satellite P200-10C, Vista Home Premium as OS, Intel Core(2) duo T7200, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600, Intel 945, Realtek High Definition Audio, dual HDD 125GB each, 2046MB memory, integrated webcam.
3)Try to install UVS 11 Plus downloaded from a BitTorrent tracker(after cleaning as above) and a message occurs : ???The security information is invalid or has been modified???. Cannot open the program, so I uninstalled it.....

so this is the weirdest error ever. I installed SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive, as well as an update to Comodo Internet Security. Both installers wanted me to install an unsigned driver, then for me to reboot. After I rebooted, I could not open any 32-bit programs. I have no clue why. I uninstalled Virtual CloneDrive, but I still cannot open 32-bit programs. It's so weird, I can open 64-bit programs just fine, but I try to open a 32-bit program, nothing happens. If I boot into Safe Mode, I can open 32-bit (and 64-bit) programs, but I cannot open 32-bit programs normally.
Since I can run 32-bit programs in Safe Mode, I think it is a driver issue, or something that Safe Mode does not load that Vista does normally. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know a fix?

"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I tried to open proxy switcher program but everytime i do, this error occurs. Previously, I was able to open the program several times until i uninstalled it. A few days later, I re-installed the program again and tried to use it. But was unable to. I tried to turn on DEP for all programs and services except those i select which includes proxy switcher program. It dont seem to work either.

I recently bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium 32bit and everything on it works fine. Or well, not everything lol. I can't seem to get any burning software to work :s I tried installing Nero, but it gave me a message that "another program has just been updated, so you need to restart" (or something like that). I restart and it says it again. I tried installing CDBurnerXP and it installed fine, but when I start the program, nothing happens. Program don't open or anything. I then tried installing Starburn and it also installed just fine, but when I click on Data Burning Wizard, it shows up that it's trying to find CD/DVD burners, and it keeps searching forever (or well, I waited 30 minutes and then manually shutdown the program).

If I get the OEM version, I know that a restriction in the license means it cannot be transferred to another computer. I need to get clarification on the following:
1) What happens if my computer crashes and I am told I have to reformat the hard drive and re-install Windows? Am I forced to buy a new license?
2) What if I want to have a backup hard drive, or upgrade my existing hard drive to a bigger one? If it's the same computer and only the hard drive is upgraded or a second one added, does that mandate a new license?

I have tried to become admin in several different ways so I can have full control of installing programs with no problems but I am still having problems. I have disabled the UAC and created a admin account (by opening CMD and enabling admin) and I am still having problems installing some programs as I get the "Unable to open program. If you are logged on with limited privileges, please log off, log back on as Administrator and try again." Is there anything else I can do to become admin.

I'm using Vista Home Premium edition.After last automatic upgrade my IE was not able to connect to the internet.Troubleshooter returned the following message:
The fololowing policy might need to be adjusted to allow Windows to connect:
Policy Provider: -
Filter Name: VSWFP_LAYER_ALE_AUTH_CONNECT_V4
I'm using Windows Firewall.
The strange thing is that AOL easily connecting to the web, and neither IE nor Firefox can NOT.

Under Administrative tools, I don't see " Local Security Policy" to set some of the advanced Security UAC policies. I have 1 Laptop running Basic, 1 Running Premium and neither have the Policies Im looking for.
I have Business Vista loaded in Virtual PC to play around with settings and such, and this does have it. Does Local Security Policy only come on business and above versions of Vista? To map this out: Start=>Control Panel=>System and Maintance=> Admin Tools. Off of Admin Tools I should see "Local Security Policy" But I dont. Any Ideas why?

We are running at my work 2 workgroups. My CoWorker and I are on a domain and need to connect to one of the servers on the workgroup using a simulation program. We get access denied error messages in the simulator program. Windows Explorer connects just fine to the workgroup server though.
We think there is a problem with the password security policy on the workgroup not being up to standard of my domain's security policy. The password to log into the server causes an error message saying the password is "too long, too short, or not complex enough." when we try to create a user account.

I cannot get group policy to initiate the screensaver on one of our vista business sp1 machines. I've done extensive research and found only solutions that revolve around updating the HID-compliant mouse driver[COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important][/COLOR][/COLOR]. Now, the machines we have do not use wireless mice and all of them are nearly identical. I've looked through the event viewer but cannot find any sort of task that comes from group policy that locks the machine. I did find eventID 124 "Task triggered by locking the workstation" but its not clear that this is coming from group policy. Regardless, the machine in question never has a log in the event viewer about this task.

I have the Diagnostic Policy Service (DPS) set to automatically start, but it never shows that it's running. When I try to start it manually, it starts and then stops with a message that says that some services just stop when they are not in use by other programs. There are no error messages on the Event Viewer that are related to this. (Just informational messages showing that it started and another showing that it stopped). This service used to work, but for some unknown reason just decided to quit functioning. Does anyone have a clue as to what's happening? I've Goggled it and have found others that have the same problem, but no solutions were located.

In my last article I showed you how you can protect your computer against anonymous user account attacks by turning on account logon auditing so you could see when someone attempts to remotely logon to your account. Now I am going to help your increase your level of protection with the Account Lockout Policy.
Creating an Account Lockout Policy will protect your account by limiting the number of time a remote application or attacker can try to guess your password. This works by automatically locking out your account after a designated number of incorrect passwords were entered. Your account will remain locked out for a designated period of time before it is automatically unlocked and it can be logged into again. This provides a valuable addition to your account security because it can render brute force password attacks useless. If you have your lockout threshold set to 4 bad attempts and the lockout duration to 15 minutes, an attacker can try to guess your password a maximum of 16 times per hour.
Now that you know how valuable an Account Lockout Policy is, let’s get it setup on your computer:
Click on the Start Button and key in Secpol.msc and hit Enter.
Navigate through Account Policies and Account Lockout Policy.
Right click on Account lockout threshold and select Properties.
Enter in the value you want to use and hit OK to save. I like to use 4 here....

Group policy editor dll is there, but not gpedit.msc on Vista Hom Premium 64 bit
Hmmmm I wonder if this is one of those things like ShadowExplorer where the facility is there but not accessible without a utility? I say that because I notice on Vista Home Premium 64 bit SP1 gpedit.dll is there, just not the .msc applet. Anyone know if a util is there to access it or if it's even useful on Home Premium? I'm thinking the guy who did ShadowExplorer took it upon himself to get at the goodies even though they weren't supposed to work in lesser versions. I just don't know that much about group policy stuff to know if it's generally all that useful.
(just wondering if the gpedit.dll is there for a reason other than inertia)

When I attempt to logon I get the following message: "The Group Policy Client Failed The Logon." (The only way I can logon is to hit the F8 key and go to "Last Known Good Configuration.". Every solution I search for seems to believe this is ONLY a problem for systems with multiple USER ACCOUNTS. I have this problem and I have only one User Account on my computer. The Guest Account is OFF. There has never been a Guest Account set up. I am the Administrator. I even tried turning the User Account Control to OFF but it didn't make any difference.
