You may have a virus on the hard drive of your computer. Run an antivirus scan of your hard drive to remove any unwanted viruses. You can download free virus protection. Web search "Microsoft Security Essentials".

I can not download this product because I'm not the administer so I need to change the e-mail.

Use "Save As", and select "Desktop" as the destination.
A "user" account always does have permission to download a file onto the "Desktop" folder.

Windows cannot access specified device path or file

Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have appropriate permissions.What's annoying about this message is that sometimes it has nothing to do with permissions at all! Here's a couple of possible ways to fix it, depending on your system.
Note: First, restart your computer in Safe Mode (only XP and Vista) and see if you can open the file or programs in question. If so, it's not a "real" permission issue, it's a program or process on your computer that is giving the error.

The best solution that has worked for most people is to simply uninstall Internet Explorer enhanced security configuration.
Method 2 - Turn off anti-virus or firewall If you are having this issue in Windows XP or Windows Vista, then your problem is probably related to an actual permission issue.
Norton Internet 200X, Bitdefender, AVG anti-virus, Trend Micro 200X can all cause this problem. If you have any of these programs installed, make sure to disable them and test it you can run programs, open files, etc.
If so, then you'll have to either use a different program or find something on the Internet about to how to configure your software to not interact badly with Windows.
The same thing can also happen with an overly aggressive firewall. If you are running Comodo firewall or something similar (other than the basic Windows Firewall), then disable that also.
Method 3 - Unblock the file If neither of those two methods worked, the file may be blocked by Windows. Note that this is only for Windows Server 2003 and higher.
When you copy an EXE file from another computer to a Windows Server 2003 box, there is what is called a blocked property set on the file. This is due to the increased security on servers.
Right-click on the file and choose Properties. You'll see a button called Unblock at the bottom.


Method 4 - Real permissions issue Finally, you may actually have a permissions issue. In this case, make sure you are an Administrator or you are part of the Domain Admins group if you are in a domain.
Also, you can try right-clicking on the file and choose Run As. Then type in the Administrator credentials and try to run the file. If you are able to run it, that means you account is not setup properly or is not in the rightuser group.

I need to get permission with administer account,so I can play,big fish games

Right mouse click on the program and run as administrator if you do not have admin privilege then you must create a admin account.. Sounds like you in a school or institution which blocked them so I would talk to the admin first.

It's really weird and says I never have a firewall up. Sometimes it refuses to turn on. Sometimes you have to wait

There must be something which is stopping your firewall to run at the logon may be some malware like virus.

It is also possible if you are using some antivirus it disables the firewall automatically when its turned on.

So go to Administrative tools> services in control panel. And see for the firewall service. If you are using the private firewall look for the appropriate service. If its the windows firewall. Go to windows firewall service.

Make sure you select the start up type automatic. and in service status if the service is running stop the service and start it again.

If it is stopped then start the service.

Lexmark 4800 lost wireless connection with windows 7

Wireless communication issues could be due to wireless signal quality, signal interference, firewall, etc. Make sure your printer is positioned where it receives excellent wireless signal strength (avoid physical obstructions whenever possible) and away from appliances which emit wireless signals (e.g. microwave ovens, cordless telephones, baby monitors, and other wireless electronics) that may cause interference. Make sure to allow full access to all Lexmark software and printer communication processes in the program rules/permissions for your firewall.

Lexmark web gateway has stopped working

There could be something that's blocking a printer communication process - firewall maybe? Make sure to allow full access to all Lexmark software and processes, especially lx??wbgw.exe (where ?? stands for any letters), in the program rules/permissions for the firewall. Also, on your computer, go to Start menu > in Run/Search bar, type services.msc and hit Enter > scroll down the items and look for lx??CATSCustConnectService > right-click on the service and select Stop. Try to print again.

Hi, Have you checked your security permissions on the 2003 IIS ?

Are the users using it as Intranet or Internet?

Is the site internal/external or possibly firewalled with rules restricting correct port operation and access permissions?
