Read/write folder access question

[Guest kmaclean]

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??

XP Home? If yes, you need to go into Safe Mode to get the Security Tab. XP

Pro/Media Center? 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.

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... :(

Since the wireless function of the printer works fine with all other

programs, you know the issue is specific to that Mystery Program. Contact

the Program's tech support for help with their software.
