Update: File Permission Issue in Windows Vista
In the past two days, I've been able to successfully run Windows Vista very well on my desktop. I am able to run all my normal day-to-day programs, check email, create websites and more. I was able to get all the correct drivers to load and currently have no outstanding hardware issues.
I do have two major problems right now though I am struggling to find answers for.
First off, I copied all my files onto CD and DVD. I then copied them back onto my Windows Vista installation so I can use these files, such as music and photos. Whenever I want to access these files, it tells me I have insufficient rights - yet I am logged in as Administrator and don't have the file protection UAP turned on.
I am currently still trying to figure that one out. I took ownership of the files and everything.
My second outstanding issues right now is for some odd reason my CD/DVD Burner driver does not work. It will read a CD for a split second, enough to tell me what CD or DVD it is, but after that - it just spins and tries to read but does nothing. I get these CDROM errors in the event viewer. I am thinking I need to reload the drivers for CD/DVD Burner but unfortunately it did not come with any.
Other than these two issues, I've been running Vista for two days without any problems or crashes.
UPDATE: I've been told that the file permissions problem has been known to exist in Windows XP as well. I'm waiting to hear back from a nice person who is going to help me figure the file permissions issue out. more...
