Access 97 In Windows 7 64 Bit?
Jan 4, 2010
I attempted to install Access 97 ( have to use it due to the applications written in it) in Windows 7 64 bit and apparently because it can't write to the c:windowssystem32 folder the installation fails. I also tried installing it with administrative privileges and it didn't work. I installed it in XP Mode and got the same results.
Initially the installation said that ctl3d32.dll couldn't be installed, then an error saying system.mdw wasn't installed. When I try to create system.mdw using the Workgroup Administrator it fails, probably because it can't write to the /windows/system32 folder.
I am a developer so I have a ton of apps to install, but this is the only problem I have with running applications in the 64 bit Windows 7.

I have one PC running Vista (home basic), one running XP (professional) and one running Windows 7 (home basic). There is a printer connected to the Vista box, which is shared.
On the XP box I can both see and use the printer on the Vista box (i.e. a "net view \vistabox" shows the printer, and under "printers and faxes" I can install and use it).
On the Windows 7 box, however, I can see the Vista box (i.e. a "net view" shows it in the list of available PCs on the network) but a "net view \vistabox" gives me an "access denied" error.
The Windows 7 machine has a password on it, the Vista and XP machines don't. All machines are on the same workgroup name (which is "WORKGROUP"). On the XP box I don't need a password to access the shared printer on the Vista machine; it just works.
Extensive Googling has failed to render enlightenment, nor has browsing this forum. I'm sure it has something to do with security and passwords, somewhere, somehow, but I have no idea in which direction to look for it, let alone fix it. I have also read some things about workgroups and homegroups not being the same in Windows 7, but I'm not sure if this is correct (and if so, relevant).

I am attempting to access an application.exe file on my desktop. Each time that I click on it the Windows message, "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." pops up. I am the system administrator so this should NOT be a problem but apparently many out there are dealing with this as well. I can delete, move and even copy the file but I cannot run it. There is no option for override with password or grant permission. It just says that I cannot run it. Also, the system I am running is Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

I have a Dell Inspiron 545s Desktop - Intel Duo Core 2.93, 6gb RAM, 720gb HD, 64bit Windows 7
I get the message: (every time I try and open a folder on my c/drive - Can't access Windows Explorer folder on the taskbar and any other folder or file by double clicking it. I can open them by right clicking, then open)
"this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a progra or, if one is already installed, create an assocation in the Default Programs control Panel".
I can open applications. But, I can not open the folder for them lets say in c:/program files -- the only way to open them is by rightclicking, then open. If I double click, I get the above error message. (same issue with "my documents", "My pictures", etc).
Included with the above problems: I now, can not access User Accounts. When I go into Control Panel, click User Accounts.. I can not manage existing ones, nor can I "Add or remove user accounts". I click the link and nothing happens.
I have someething built into the computer called "Dell DataSafe Backup". Its a recovery partition/part of the HDD that saves all my files for a recovery. However, I can NOT access it. I click the "Dell DataSafe" in my taskbar and nothing happens..

Last night I was on the internet at home absolutely fine and my laptop automatically downloaded an update, since then I have been unable to connect to my wi-fi. I deleted the updates and was still unable to connect, so I tried to used a system recovery restore point and every one I use starts but fails to complete.So, I did a factory reset after around 8 hours of trying to sort it out today and I STILL have the same problem. I can plug in the cable to connect and my housemate is having absolutely no issues connecting and neither is my phone so now I am at a total loss what I should do to resolve this. Prior to the factory reset I was able to connect to the wi-fi but it was stating no network access/limited access and now it simply won't connect to my internet at all. It finds my full strength signal but will not connect.My drivers for the Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n card are the most up to date and the laptop (HP G62) says it is working fine.

Are there any Access database dudes that know if using taskkill.exe to close access (to close a database at night so it can compact) is a bad thing to do? I need to have my database closed at night and I always forget, taskkill.exe works, but my colleague, who designed the database, says that force quitting access breaks the database.

This question may not be what you think it is. I am trying to fix an intermittent issue in my home environment. The issue is I am having to use wireless. Our Xfinity Cable/WAP modem sits on the top floor of our house. I am located in the basement. The wireless signal I get most of the time is very good, and by very good i mean at least 15+ mb/s on [URL]
I am taking the Cisco Network Academy classes and am familiar with network terminology and concepts. However, what I'm trying to do is take a router/WAP (using it downstairs where I'm located) and configure it to access our xfinity modem upstairs, so that I can plug in to it downstairs using a RJ-45.
Let me know what yall think. By the way the router/wap i would be using is a netgear model unknown at this moment but could easily find out.

According to what I've read, Access 2010 uses the same database format as Access 2007. So this should mean I can open and run a 2007 database (with a lot of VBA code) in Access 2010 with no trouble, yes?So why do I have the feeling that something is not going to work? Is it because I have been through to many Access upgrades?

I haven't really had any issues since I first installed Windows 7 and now I'm trying to access a shared drive over a network and I'm getting this annoying error message that I cannot access a shared drive over the network.
I decided to reinstall Windows 7 and before that I never had this issue.
I have not installed any third party software, I've enabled network discovery and right now I cannot access any shared folders or drives, at all, though it can see it.
I'm getting that stupid error message: "<Network drive> is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied."
What am I doing wrong here?

Why is it that I can do anything to my Xp laptop shares from Windows 7 but Xp asks for a username and password to access Win?
Am I supposed to know what this username and password is? Did I create a username and password while not paying attention?
I've turned off password protected sharing in advanced sharing settings, turned on file and print sharing, both computers are joined to WORKGROUP. I went through the file sharing setup wizard on Windows 7 which spat out a password at the end but like so what? There's no username to go with it and it doesn't work if you enter that password from Xp anyway.
Can someone please put me on the right track here?
I hope that MS realise that there's an ocean of idiots like me that just want to copy a file from PC A to PC B at home and that the wizard should set all this up for us and not make us google around for half an hour just to find out how to copy a file from box to box. Unless it's intentionally not backward compatible?

I wanted to create a new user with standard access and only give them access to my "C:" (programs) and not my "D:" (downloads) so after creating the user, I went to security settings under D: drive/properties and I denied "Authenticated Users". I obviously know now that that wasn't the right thing to do. After that happened, my admin account didn't have access to drive D. So I went back and switched it back to "Allow/full control" and my admin acct has access to my D drive now but there are files that are in the drive (not in folders) that are still showing denied when trying to open and 1 folder is also being denied. When I see the security settings on these files/folder it says "You do not have permission to view/edit...etc"

[code] I never had this issue on Windows Vista, occasionally my internet will randomly dropout. Limited Internet Access". When it does I can do a few things to get it working again:
- Disable, then enable my wireless card and reconnect.
- Uninstall the card, then re-install and reconnect.
- Disconnect from the internet myself and reconnect.
Either way it gets super frustrating. There is 1 other computer plugged directly into the router that does not experience any issues. In addition, I have 1 laptop (windows 7) that works great and 1 laptop (Windows XP) which works great.

I've networked a new Win 7 PC with my old XP one. I shared a drive on the latter.My Win7 PC can see the XP PC on the network, but when I click on it, I get this error:[XP PC name] is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.I assume the problem is on the XP side. It has an active Guest account.The sharing tab for the drive says Windows Firewall is configured to allow it to be shared with other computers on the network.

A friend of mine brought this laptop to fix. I tried explaining him why being a java developer and linux user does not make you qualified to solve these kind of problems, but he didn't want to listen.I tried using ethernet, booting into safe mode, removing 0.0.0.0 route, winsockfix and reseting ip stack, disabling ipv6, removing network card, reinstalling netowork drivers, scanning with security essentials and some malware scanners. Although he told me that he tried installing Dr Web and it failed so it may be some sort of virus/malware/rootkit that was undetected by both security essentials and various rootkit/malware applications (Malwarebyte's anti-malware, tdskiller)DHCP does not seem to be working so I had to specify settings by hand. I can ping to router and other local machines but that's about it. I can't event load html/php from router. DNS does not work either. Pinging ISP DNS fails with: "PING: transmit failed. General failure.".

When I try to log in as administrator I get,"your account has been disabled. Please see your system administrator". The user account control window opens but you can only click "no". How do I access the administrator?? This all started after I used recovery discs to get rid of lock up/freezing on start up.

I have Windows 7 and for reasons of my software, I installed Windows Virtual PC, who I have use for more than a year now. Last week, technical support did some checking on the system and now, I cant get access to the virtual computer. I received a message telling me that I need to activate in BIOS this option, however, I cant get access to the BIOS either. I update BIOS, but still do not work.

I have a network of 5 systems in my office. 2 are using XP , 2 using windows 7 starter and one windows 7 professional, all in a workgroup. Mine is a freshly installed windows 7 system. When the Win7 pro system tries to access my system it prompts for a user id and a password. But then on that windows 7 pro system when I try to enter the credentials, the domain name is that name of that win7 pro system. How can i change that domain name ?

I have been tring to setup my dvr to be able to access my security cameras from a remote location, but have not had much luck. My present problem is when I try to log into my DVR locally, using my lab top, the web service page that comes up does not look normal. There is a message that reads THIS WEB PAGE IS IN CHINESE. There is a translate button on the far right of the screen but when I click it nothing happens. To access the DVR I put the IP address of the DVR into the address bar. I have tried both wired and wireless.I do have a desktop that is hard wired to the same netgear router that the DVR is wired into and I can access the DVR locally from it with no problem.
I am tring to get the labtop to access the DVR locally before I take it out to try to access the DVR from a remote location.Notes: I just got this Wireless Netgear router a few days ago. My old router was a linksys (not wireless).. I got this Labtop from my daughter. It is about four yrs old. Running windows 7 on labtopRunning XP on desktop. I am thinking this might be an activeX problem but not sure.I am still a little green on windows 7. I went in and enabled all of the activeX options. I did this while talking to a tech from netgear

Basically, I got 2 laptops. A new Win7 Home Premium and an XP SP3 netbook. Both are on the same workgroup. Both have full admin privilege accounts. Shares/drives are enabled as I have always done on Win environments. I am getting Access is Denied when I try to access my Win7 C: and D: drives from XP. I can see the Win7 laptop, I can even map the drives, but cannot access Win7 drives from XP. From Win7 to C: and D: on XP is no problem at all, as always. I am aware of that sharing root of drives is inadvisable. However, I am on a fairly secure home LAN [sole user] and I want to do this.

[b]I have had this problem on and off since my purchase of this hp pavilion. When I try to install software I have downloaded or have the cd for i get the following message. "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." If I use the trick to change the name of the exe file to notepad I can sometimes get the program to install but most times not. I have virus checked with Avast, Malware bytes, and adaware.
