Im trying to install DVDXcopy and i keep getting this error Cannot create file C:\windows\ systems32\IOSUBSYS\PCOUFFIN.VXD I have windows 7, i always had XP before and my Xcopy worked fine The add said this support was free.

your installation disk or file is corrupted.
download it from your hardware website.

or your antivirus detect it as a virus, try disable first. but not recommended it .

I struggled with this same problem a few years back. I tried a couple of different compatibility modes for the fastmove.exe file and finally settled on Windows 98/Windows ME mode. When you right click on fastmove.exe and enable this mode in properties, you still aren't all the way there. When you try to run fastmove in this mode you will get another error message. Something about how it could not find a file called paralnk.vxd (actually the error message mispells the file name as paralink.vxd).

Well this file is only necessary for parallel port connections which I don't think anyone uses anymore (everyone should be using USB to sync). So I got to thinking that all the Fastmove program needed to see was a dummy file called "paralnk.vxd." And I was right. So this is what you need to do.

1. Find "fastmove.exe" in your program files, right click on it, click on properties, go to compatibility tab, enable "Windows 98/Windows ME" compatibility mode.

2. Go to your Windows\system32 folder and right click on some empty space. A dialogue box comes up. Mouse over "New" then click on "Text Document." After you have created the new text document, rename it to "paralink.vxd." You will get a warning message about changing the filetype from txt to vxd, but ignore it.

It doesn't matter that the new paralink.vxd is just a dummy text file. Fastmove doesnt use the file for anything. It just wants to see that it is there.

And that is how you get fastmove working on XP. It also works in Vista.

I sure wish they would update this program, but it got discontinued. Best sync program I ever used. I wish I knew who the actually developer was. I would contact them and see if they wanted to update it on an open source project.

From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/194679:

Cause:
This behavior can occur if the Windows\System folder is missing or renamed, or if the PATH line in the Autoexec.bat file is missing or does not include the Windows\System folder.

To resolve this behavior, use the appropriate method:

Method 1 loadTOCNode(2, 'resolution');

1. At the command prompt, type: dir vmm32.vxd /s If the Vmm32.vxd file is not found, you must install Windows 95 or Windows 98 again. If the Vmm32.vxd file is found, note the folder in which it is located, and then continue with step 2.
   
   
2. At the command prompt, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command cd windows
   ren folder system where folder is the folder you noted in step 1.
   
   
3. Restart your computer.

Method 2 loadTOCNode(2, 'resolution'); Using a text editor (such as Notepad), edit the Autoexec.bat file and add or modify the PATH line so that it includes the Windows\System folder. For example, add the following line to your Autoexec.bat file: path=c:\windows\system


Hope this helps,

The eversion that you have is not VISTA compatible.

Sir,

Please chanhe that RAM once and try with new RAM. The frequency mismatch also will give these types of error.

Thanks

Method ONE Disable the SCSI1HLP.VxD using the Microsoft Configuration Utility:

1. Restart your computer, press and hold down the CTRL key while Windows is starting, and then choose Safe Mode from the Startup menu.
2. Click Start, click Run, and then type msconfig in the Open box.
3. On the Static VxDs tab, click to clear the Scsi1hlp.vxd check box, click OK, and then follow the instructions to restart your computer.

Method Two loadTOCNode(2, 'resolution'); NOTE: By following the steps below, any device that uses the Scsi1hlp.vxd file may not function properly or you may not be able to restart your computer. Some SCSI devices and some ATAPI devices use this file. If you are not sure if your hardware uses this file, check with your hardware manufacturer before you proceed.

Rename the Scsi1hlp.vxd file in the Windows\System\Iosubsys folder:

1. Restart your computer, press and hold down the CTRL key, and then choose Safe Mode from the Startup menu.
2. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders.
3. In the Named box, type scsi1hlp.vxd, and then click Find Now.
4. In the list of found files, right-click the Scsi1hlp.vxd file that is located in the Windows\System\Iosubsys folder, and then click Rename.
5. Type scsi1hlp.old, press ENTER, and then restart your computer.

What you would need to do is go to www.driverguide.com and search for pcouffin.vxd and copy it to c:\windows\system32\iosybsys. Then it should install fine.
Good luck!

That is a special file, created during Windows installation. Every computer uses a different VMM32.VXD file, so you can't simply copy one from another system and expect it to work.

If you can't find that file by searching the system in DOS, you could wipe the drive and reinstall Windows again, or do a repair install, installing Windows on top of itself. That should force the creation of a new VMM32.VXD file, and that problem should be history.

If you DO find the file somewhere on the HDD through a DOS search, copy it into the Windows\System folder, then reboot the system.

When you format something you WILL lose all of the data that was there. I would also recomend upgradeing to XP, 2000, or NT. You may need to reinstall the OS. If you need instructions ask me and I can help.

First try to download from google for free Registry repair and repair registry...

If it won't help just install in another location ( DON'T INSTALL IN C-PRPGRAM FILES)
