I’m running XP on my vaio laptop and i’m the only user w/ administrator rights and i’m running into a couple issues.
One of which is i cannot run .exe files from the internet, i get the following error.
Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
When i try to save the file to my desktop to run it or even try to bring it from another computer using a jump drive i get the following.
An error occurred while trying to rename a file in the destination directory:
MoveFile fails; code 5
Access is denied
Originally i assumed these issues were due to a virus or malware so i wiped my machine and returned it back to facotry spec. Than i get the issue again. I was curious if it could be because of an update possibly ie 8 because i was loading programs fine before i updated to SP3 and ie8.
this wipe and update all took plae in the past 24hours FYI.
Please help these issues are driving me crazy,and i’ve scoured everywhere for answers.
