| | Destination Folder Access Denied I'm trying to copy pictures, videos, and music from my old laptop to my new laptop (Toshiba with Vista) and some of them transfer OK but on some of them, Vista puts up a box that says "Destination Folder Access Denied" at the top and says that "You need permission to perform this action". Why is this happening and how do I get around this so I can copy these files to my new computer? I'm accessing my old computer files through my DSL router network. -- Johnny |

If you tried to remove the program and enough of it was left to start up, then also. you can 't delete the file. You need to find what's happening. 1st...Make sure the program you suspect, and have maybe tried to delete, in not in the startup folder. 2nd...Sometimes you have to re-install the program and then make sure you use the proper uninstall to get it out, either through the Control Panel or the utility that came with the application in the first place. 3rd..The software developer sometimes can help and maybe will have a utility that will rip out all remaining vestiges of the program. 4th ..Virus protection and particularly Norton products have caused me no end of grief. I'd not recommend any of their product. (just personal opinion). 5th ..Get into Safe Mode and try to remove the file using command prompt. 6th .. Sometimes it's the OS itself that's got the file open. Try deleting the file as soon as possible after boot up. 7th... Shut down as many start up applications are you can. Copy them to another dummy folder until you have to problem fixed. 8th .. Try using lower case some time. Bob F. |
