"The Feature You Are Trying To Use Is On A Network Resource That Is Unavailable"
Feb 24, 2012
whenever i try to uninstall open office windows installer givs me the error message:"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"i also get this message wen i try to install program that install via windows installer, but programs that use install shiled wizard uninstall fine.any idea on what might be causing this? i beleve that i must have used windows installer to (un)install programs before but now it wont work something else that may be usefull to know is that my HDD is stuck in read only, and i cannot change the ownership or permissions, so cant take it off read only without the system re applying read only immediately after.
I just tried to watch a movie on Netflix, and it prompted me to upgrade Microsoft Silverlight. I saved the file to my desktop, and when I tried to open the .exe file, I got this error message from Windows Installer: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
I tried moving the downloaded file to a different location, but it had no effect. I apparently can't play any movie now from Netflix, since I have to update Silverlight before I can play anything.
Two days ago i had a popup message from Mcafee but i closed it without taking a look, was kind of in a hurry. Yesterday morning, after the first reboot, windows started but nothing seems to work.
1. Many services do not start -
Workstation Server DHCP client DNS client Audio Service HP Wireless Assistant and many more
2. Services are missing -Network Store Interface Service (i tried to add it manually through the registry)
3. Windoes Services dependencies tab cannot be accessed, i get an error message "Win32: The specified module could not be found."
4. When i try to start services i get different messages -Workstation - "Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start" (this is the most common message)Audio Service - "The audio service on the local computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."HP wireless assistant service - This one starts and stops after a few seconds.
5. I have no network access, nor can i connec any USB devices.
6. the "RUN" option is missing from the start menu
7. I've noticed that "bowser" was missing from the services list in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservices tried to add it manually as well, with no success
I did manage for a while to connect my mobile phone and transfer malwarebytes and combobox, but none could solve the problem. Now it won't recognice my mobile either.System restore is disabled for some reason, so that's not an option either.I can't even backup my data and prepare for a fresh installation (which is a bad option as is).
Just combined 2 partitions today, copied back all my program back to my pc that were on my J drive (second partition) to my now 1 partition (c) but when I try to run them I get an error:
"The program (program name).ink is in a unavailable network drive or unavailable."
Also if I try uninstalling, repairing, or re- installing I get the error:
My desktop connects to my router via a netgear N300 wirelss USB adaptor. Also connected to my router is my media server PC which has a shared network drive. On bootup My desktop looks for the mapped network drive before it loads the USB. So it always shows the network drive as being unavailable. This is soon sorted by double clicking on the network drive icon. Is there a workaround so that the PC looks for the network drive after loading the USB network has been established?
I used to have a ton of problems with my network adapter. It would always encounter and error saying "default gateway unavailable"
I recently reinstalled windows and updated the nvidia drivers for my motherboard and when I looked into the drivers folder in Cwindows/system32/drivers, I saw that there was a driver that says nvm62x64.sys and nvm64x64.sys. When I uninstall the drivers and leave the stock windows ones, i only get nvm62x64.
I think this is significant because the fix I found to this problem on a windows support forum was that if you download the vista driver for the motherboard and extracted it to folder, you would find a file named nvmfdx64.sys and you would then rename that to nvm62x64.sys (the win 7 file name). Then you would replace the windows driver with the aformentioned vista driver and everything worked for me and never had that default issue again.
so I am wondering what the heck is that nvm64x64.sys file that nvidia put in there and I think this may be the cause of the problems because everything works without the particular file.
[pc name] 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.The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.Lately we have had problems with all Windows XP pcs not being able to access all the shared folders on one Windows 7 pc on the lan.It is intermittent. I cannot think of what has changed recently.It is temporarily fixed by a reboot of the Win7 pc, but since it is a server in an office environment, this can be difficult to do middle of the day.Turning firewall software off on host and client has no effect.Network sharing profiles are never changed as issue comes and goes.Unsharing a folder, and resharing it has no effect.The Win7 pc does show up as a networked computer and all are in the same workgroup.All Windows 7 pcs on the lan can access the shared folders when all the XP pcs cannot.Another Win7 pc on the lan is nearly an identical hardware build with same firewall and never has a problem.
Network sharing options for current profile:
network discovery: on file printer sharing: on public folder sharing: on media streaming: on file sharing connections: 40-56 bit encryption password protected sharing: off\
Things I've already tried: Refreshing the folder view Re-opening the "Open iTunes library" window Restarting iTunes altogether Typing \VBOXSVR in the browse window (result: one of those "network path could not be found" errors)While I was trying to access the resource in iTunes, I had no issues manipulating the network resource through Windows Explorer.
I am using hotel wifi network and was able to use it quite nicely. But suddenly my network started showing "No Internet Access" though it was connected. Diagnostics gives an error "Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS Server) is not responding." I am still able to connect to same wifi properly with my other laptop.
I formatted my PC yesterday and now when I plugged in my WD 500GB EXHDD, The hard is giving me some error.I have made 2 partitions. One 150GB and the other 350GB. The 350GB doesn't know open giving me this error:
I've tried two different NIC's and they both do the same thing. One NIC was a PCI-E and the other is a USB. The internet just stops working, i.e. if you do a status on the adapter it says 'Internet not available.'Now! If I disable the new adapter and enable the old adapter which is a Linksys Wireless-G PCI Card WMP54GS with SpeedBooster that matched the router I had before it died three weeks ago the card works perfectly! It never disconnects from the internet so to speak.This has to be something in Windows 7 that is causing this behavior in the new adapter. I did a little snooping around myself and there was a suggestion to disable the 'IP Helper' service. I disabled it and stopped it and the adapter still 'went to sleep.'
I keep getting this popup and it says 'The email server is currently unavailable!'. It happens regularly but not all the time and sometimes all at once. You know like buses! Thanks for your help in advance!
P.S It seems as though it's nothing to do with the email client.
9 times out of 10 i cannot get pages to load they are either "Timed out" or "Can not connect to server" & the latest one is "firefox has ??????? in a way that it will never be able to connect" Can't remember the ?????? part, messages along these lines, My signal strength is full & when i run trouble shooter it comes back with "No problem was found"
I have a new Windows 7 computer and set up Mozilla Sunbird calendar program. I want to assign a shortcut Alt+Ctrl+C to it to launch the calendar. When I do that by going to Sunbird's Start Menu link, opening properties and setting that as the shortcut, it does not work. Pressing Alt+Ctrl+C does nothing. If I assign Alt+Ctrl+D to Sunbird it works fine. It does not appear to a fault of Sunbird. If I assign Alt+Ctrl+C to Notepad that does not work either. It is like something is intercepting that hotkey but then doing nothing. I found a free utility called Ethervane ActiveHotkeys that finds assigned hotkey and it says Alt+Ctrl+C is assigned (as well as the other three hotkeys I have assigned to programs.) It is not however able to say what individual hotkeys are used for.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x86 with K-Lite 9.5 installed. VirtualDub 1.9.11 isn't getting access to the codecs except for Cinepak, etc.I should be using Avidemux anyway, but I can't figure out how to make desperately needed templates and last time I tried to encode a video in h264 it looks a lot worse then it's supposed to for some reason.
I restarted my computer today, and when it turned back on it came with an error message saying C:windowssystem32configsystemprofileDesktop refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Check to to make sure the disk is properly inserted.All of my desktop and taskbar icons were gone, and my desktop seemed to revert back to Window 98. When I restarted my computer again half of my icons were back, but the desktop still looked like it was from 1998. When I went into the control panel to change the theme, it changed back to my windows 7 theme, but every time I restart the computer it reverts back to windows 98.
I have a Lenovo 3000 G430 Laptop with Windows 7 Home Basic Edition installed. I wanted to re-partition my 250GB hard disk into 3 logical drives. I shutdown the system and change the order of boot preference to CDRom. I had a bootable CD with me along with FDISK utility on it. I boot my laptop using bootable CD and ran FDISK to delete the existing NTFS (Non-Dos) partition.After deleting all the partitions, When I tried to create a new partition, it displays me disk unallocated space of 8GB only. After this I had tried several partition utility but all of them display disk unallocated space of 8GB only.I have run into problem. Can anyone help me find and resolve the issue with Disk space reporting less unallocated space of 8GB? while the actual size of harddisk is 250GB.
I know this issue is a popular evergreen. But I have done my best to go through this forum and all others to find advice - but this time everything I have read doesnot So once again a thread on temp accounts, HP Elitebook 8540w,Windows 7 professional x64 OEM,local network with XP computers as work group,I use the preinstalled system for a year now, automatic Windows updates were disabled in the recent days, system protected by Avast my personal account with admin rights (I call it "xxx") was on D:users with a link in C:users pointing to it (with mklink /d xxx "d:Usersxxx")this had always worked fine,yesterday my system crashed in a BSOD when loading an online 3D viewer. Not the first bluescreen on this system, but for the first time with lasting effects: when I login to "xxx" I only get a temp account (blank default desktop) and the message that the path c:windowssystem32configsystemprofiledesktop is not accessible. This is still the case. Additionally all new accounts I create start up as temp accounts with the same message. Luckily the original admin account is still alright.(all failed, logging into anything apart from "administrator" opens a temp account and brings up the systemprofiledesktop message!
I set up a Homegroup with my old PC so I could pull over my music and movies. I am able to see and copy my videos over, but the music folder keeps giving me the "refers to a location that is unavailable" error.
I have more than a 100GB of video files in wmv format on my Windows 7 partition. When I tried to look for it the other day, the folder /Users/kl/Videos/Logitech Webcam/ was no longer there. But when i searched for "wmv" it showed up in search, then then I clicked open location, it said that the location is unavailable. I know that the files are still on the disk because I have 370GB on that partition, and only 90GB is free. This was the same as when I could still access those video files so they could not have been deleted. How can I gain access to these files again? I have already tried all the instructions on this page
I'm having some problems with event viewer. When I go to open it, it gives me the "Event Log service is unavailable. Verify that the service is running." error. I've tried going through the steps Microsoft gives for creating new log files if yours are corrupted. Problem is, the .evt file doesn't exist.
I've researched the problem a lot and I do have UxStyle Core installed which is patching the files necessary to install third party themes, and I have heard that this may cause some issues with the event log, but everyone I saw undo any patching and even rollback updates, go to previous restore points, etc.
My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer is no longer printing unless I print a test page from within the HP software. I get the following message "The Active Directory Domain Service is currently unavailable" I have completely uninstalled the printer,downloaded new HP software and reinstalled the printer. I am able to scan to my PC. My other printer is fine.
When I try to run the event log I get the following Event Log service is unavailable. Verify that the service is running. In the services panel it is listed as running. However it is not. I have tried system restore but same issue. I don't know if it could be turned off in the registry or just what would cause this. I think the registry was modified and for some reason I have noticed certain registry entries don't always get restored if you use system restore.
Fixing my elderly father's Windows 7/64 desktop. Attempting to print form MS Word to an HP3390 does not give any errors but does not print, either. Attempting to "find printer" from MS Word gives "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable." I went to services.msc to turn on that service but it does not appear in the list. Driver for the printer is already included in Windows 7, according to the HP support site. Printer is USB connected directly to the computer.
BTW Computer is running MW Word 2003 if that makes any difference.
I am currently experiencing consistent restarting (every few seconds) of Windows Explorer on my PC. And this has caused the desktop to be unavailable/inaccessible. I'm desperate . To find out the error which is causing this, I need to access task manager (event viewer), which is also unavailable (greyed out when I right click on the task bar). By accessing the task manager, I hoped to stop the windows explorer process so that I can at least access to my school project. I cannot afford to reload the OS (Windows 7 Pro) as this will affect my school project.
I am trying to forcibly end a protected program in the windows 7 cmd (taskkill /S system /U domainOwner /F /PID) and it is telling me that the rpc server is unavailable. How to forcibly & permanently delete/cripple a program.
