| Guest | Lost Vista permission on program I installed? I've installed a program (winampServer) and used it with no problems a few times then I tried to set up a home network and changed too many settings to remember Now when I try to access this program it tells me "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I've checked hundreds of help pages online and tried to gain full controll to the folder (which I can access fine just not run the .exe), gained ownership (which I already had) and screamed at my laptop (which frustratingly didnt work either). Out of desperation i reinstalled the program and it worked fine until I restarted my laptop a few days later. Please help, I REALLY don't want to have to re-install this everytime i re-boot! |
