| Media Player snag.
|
| I am using Media Player 8.00.00.4487, Product ID 55274-OEM-
| 0015915-64863. This is running on a 2GHz Athlon machine,
| OS WinXP Pro. All the windows updates have been
| incorporated, with the exception of Media Player 9 (I
| don't like it.)
|
| On attempting to open some files in my "Shared Music"
| folder, which I have been able to open previously and
| when logged on as an Admnistrator, an "Access is denied"
| message appears. On selecting "Details, the following
| message appears in its own window:
|
| The file is in use
| This file is currently in use. Close the file, and then
| try to perform the desired action again.
|
| Error ID = 0x80070005, Remedy ID = 0x00000000
|
| The file is not in use by any other program and trying
| again doesn't help.
|
| On looking at file properties, the "General" and "Summary"
| pages appear correct, but when selecting "Security", the
| following message appears:
|
| "You do not have permission to view the current permission
| settings for %Filename%, but you can make permission
| changes".
|
| Within the "Shared Music" folder, there are sub-folders.
| Some of these can be accessed, but on others the following
| message appears, when double-clicked:
|
| "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Shared
| Music\%Folder name% is not accessible.
|
| Access is denied"
|
| When the cursor passes over these folders, the small
| yellow box appears, saying "Folder is Empty". On trying
| to delete the folder, the usual prompt asking "Are you
| sure that you want to send the folder and its contents to
| the recycle bin?" appears. On selecting "Yes" another
| window pops up, entitled Error Deleting File or Folder.
| This says, after the red cross "Cannot delete %Folder
| name%: The directory is not empty.
|
| Microsoft Knowledge base article 234292 suggests that the
| filename is being spelled incorrectly. This cannot be the
| case as attempts to open the file are being made by double-
| clicking on it.
|
| To contact me quickly, can be used.
