I get this message after the long and tedious attempt to install SP2. I've tried doing it from download and even got the CD. Same result. I am logged on as administrator and have everything enabled. Would like to update...any one know what's going on?
View 4 RepliesI just formated my PC two nights ago and I am still trying to get all the updates done. However, when I try to update to Service Pack 3, I get an error halfway through that says "Acces Is Denied", and then it starts to undo everything the Service Pack was updating. I have tried downloading the service pack file from microsoft, rebooting and turning off all anti-virus. ect. I have seen methods that tell me to reset the registry and file permissions. Is this safe? And also, has anyone else had this problem and fixed it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI Recently offered to help my sister who dropped her monitor (CRT) off the table - while it was connected to the motherboard, causing damage to that.. So I just bought an upgrade pack (CPU, RAM, SATA HDD and the motherboard) Replaced and installed windows xp media centre edition SP3 on the new sata HDD, all works fine.All I want to do is grab the files (music and pictures) from the old IDE HDD which is sitting there and accessible save for the files under the user my sister had created. It displays a standard access is denied message.How can I open this up considering it is on the old installation of windows? (which will not boot due to hardware swap, it keeps looping).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have managed to repair the OS (XP Home) but am still experiencing one or two problems. The main one at the moment is that though it has downloaded and successfully installed 33 MS Critical Updates it is not able to install Service Pack 2. It gets about half way through installing SP2 and then brings up an "Access Denied" Error.

And looking at the setupapi still seems to give me the same error messages even though I made the changes.

I reinstalled Windows with the backup feature provided with the backup (emachine). After I had updated windows completely & replaced my extensive collection of fonts I went to put all my personal files back. I get this message:
Quote: "FOLDER LOCATION" is not accessible.
Access is denied. It's the "C:Documents and SettingsOwner" folder
It has all my music, videos, photos, & work for things I do in it. I can get into my 'WINDOWS' folder and 'Program Files' but not that.
My computer started acting up. I ended up having to do a system recovery. When I did this though, it deleted all of my names (User accounts). In Windows Explorer I can still see them though, and even access the old files of that one.
Now, the main user account I used on this computer needed a password, so I assume that is why it is giving me an access denied message when I try to open it.
Is there any way I could be able to see these files? As I said, the accounts are erased from the main welcome page, so I wouldn't be able to click on it from there to type in a password.
I had to re-install Windows XP Sp2 and I'm having a problem with the mailboxes and other files in my Eudora directory. Eudora is receiving access denied to the mailboxes and I cannot rename, copy or move the email box files with Windows Explore. I get an "access denied" error.
I've tried using an app to remove controls from the files but it says they aren't being controlled by another program. And "properties" says they are NOT read-only.

I did a chkdsk /r on the drive, and the file system is back. Ive also done a pass on the drive with a virus scanner and noticed a folder C:Program FilesCommon FilesServices" with the all of the files consisting of randomly generated executable names (514 in total), refer to attached text file for full list.
In explorer, the files show as green.
The problem is the virus scanner logs the file as "access denied".
The file initially had security permissions set to everyone with write only and the owner was some wierd clsid like object.

I did the SP2 install thing and after about 20 minutes I got an 'Access is denied' error after which the removal wizard unravelled everything and I was back to square one.

I have windows XP home and I created a limited access account in windows so other people can use my pc and not change any of the config, but when I log on to the limited access account, I get many many times the ERROR Access Denied.
The problem is, the error message doesn't specify what programs are trying to load and are denied. Is there way I can see which programs the limited access account don't have access to, and grant access to the ones needed?
I have no idea what may have caused this problem, but recently, whenever I try to open a .msi installer file, I get an access is denied message. This happened a couple of weeks ago, and I left it alone. Now, I just discovered that when I open a .msc file (like services.msc), I get the same result. I went back to that same installer and the same thing still happened. And right now, I just recalled that the same thing happened with .log files. I just tried to open one and it wouldn't let me. Anyone have any idea what caused this or why it is happening? I couldn't find any help on Google or on previous posts.

I Recently had a norton antivirus trial period expire. I ran an uninstall and downloaded and ran the removal tool on the norton website. there was sometime I went with no protection and picked up some viruses. At sometime these removed my administrator rights.there is only one user account on this XP computer I lost my control panel, no access to security center, My active desktop went white and I get "access denied Please contact your administrator" messages when I right click properties on the desktop.

I recieve a message saying "access denied due to restrictions on this computer contact your administrator"
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a friend using WinXP SP1. They had a problem and the Computer would no longer boot up. Had to do a fix found on KB Site that copied "WindowsSystem32ConfigSystem and 4 other files. The computer then worked again as before, however it overwrote something, and the user can see all files on system, except the original "My Documents" folder. When I Click on it, it says a message along the lines of "Access Denied" I forget the exact error message. The other thing that happened is that none of the programs are available any more. eg: Office Products show Icons, but are not available to use.
How can we get the files in this folder back. It is the only Folder that is important, and the data will be copied to a CD and then I will have to format and reinstall all programs.
i regularly download windows updates(i have xp home edition with Dell demension 1100) when prompted in the past with no problems , this time i noticed the download stopped at 23% and the icon disappeared.Going directly to windows update i get "Internet explorer cannot display the webpage" in fact if i type anything with the words "microsoft" or try to download a site with the word "microsoft" it reads the above,so my question is , why has the computer been completely blocked out like this? I have restarted the computer several times but still no good.

I tried rebooting in safe mode and logging in as administrator to see what the security settings where. After looking there I found out that all 4 accounts have full rights to all folders, sub folders, and files on the C: drive.
