    Vista File Operation Error - 0x80070005, Access is denied.

    L.O.

    Wondering if anyone has insight to a blanket "file operation error"
    "0x80070005", issued any time a file is copied to the computer, under any
    Vista a/c on that pc?



    I noticed this first when using my standard user a/c.

    Absoloutely no files can be copied to the hard drive by manual operation. I
    can surf the web and the temp internet directory is still being written to,
    etc. However, if I specifically request to copy a file or for a file to be
    downloaded to ANY hard disk location, (inc temp internet files), I get that
    "access is denied" message.

    Here's the kicker; I even tried to copy files TO my USB flash drive and got
    the same error, even with my admin a/c.

    Just as some extra info, if I create a file for example using MS Word, I can
    save that file to a hard disk location, it just seems to be when I call for a
    copy/move or download of a file that the error kicks in.

    Really stuck here and can't think of any changes made to my system that
    could have bought about such a critical change.

    Hope for some help here.

    Thanks,

    Mark.
