Guest kmaclean Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I am unable to access a program I just downloaded because I lack read/write access (apparently). I am an administrator and when I right click on the folder I do not have the Security Tab appear to ensure I have the correct permissions on this folder. Any ideas how I can check the security settings on this program??

If yes, uncheck "Simple File Sharing" in Folder Options>View tab. The file system needs to be NTFS in all cases. If that doesn't help, contact the program's tech support for help with their software or post back with the name of the Mystery Program, the exact error message you are getting (please do not paraphrase), your version of XP, and anything else that might help us help you.

Guest kmaclean Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Re: Read/write folder access question Thanks very much for your response.....perhaps you can help me with another question I have. I am having a bit of trouble with printing information from one of my program to my wireless printer. Every other program I have prints just fine to my printer but this one programs documents will not print....it just stays in my print queue. Any ideas why this would happen?? I have Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3 and my printer is a HP Office Jet Pro L7680. I did try hard wiring into the printer and then the documents will print...but they will not print when I go wireless... :( "Malke" wrote: > kmaclean wrote: > > > I am unable to access a program I just downloaded because I lack > > read/write > > access (apparently).

Contact the Program's tech support for help with their software. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ
