XP Pro SP2 is denying me permission to access files
G'day Team,
Am having much trouble when I try to open some programs, not all. I get the following message. "Windows cannot access the device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I can't start my firewall for instance. I need help as I'm clueless about the permissions and ownership things. Maybe I've been hacked? Maybe not. Any help appreciated. Regards, Greg
