G580 Can't Update Driver - "Access Denied"

I'm trying to update my drivers which was successful apart from the one for the Synaptics touchpad.  It starts to install but eventually aborts saying 'Access Denied' to a file called Thumbs...
My touchpad works fine but I thought it was always best to update the drivers? I was hoping the new driver would include a few more options for the touchpad as my old Acer laptop had a synaptics touchpad but with many more options to configure.   I'm using the official driver from this site and I've double checked I've downloaded the right one for Windows 7. I'm already logged on as administrator and I've tried opening the setup file as an administrator but nothing works.  
Does anyone know what the problem could be?  Is it even worth updating this particular driver, the one on my system dates back to April 2011.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

guess that your account was in Local Admin group...?
This is because all accounts in local Administrators group are working as standard accounts. When an Administrator action need to be performed, a prompt will occurs for permission to promote to admin permission. As only Administartors
group has permission on a folder and the account we are using is working like a standard account, we will be denied from accessing.
run all accounts in Administartors group in Admin mode...http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd835564(WS.10).aspx can
be OK?
for PolicyDefinitions, group policy location... suggest to use central store...

  • Zen Micro firmware CIRCLE -Can't update firmware w/out driver, can't update driver w/out firmwa

    Hi,
    I know lots of peopl are having the same problem. I have a Zen Micro 5Gb. I have previously updated the firmware to the plays for sure (about 2 years ago) and it's been fine.
    The device had had the hard dri've replaced after it failed, and I need to reload the firmware. I have all the files, I've read all the FAQ and support I used last time (I keep everything) and my notes from 2 years ago say it was easy.
    However. Not now. I figure WMP caused a lot of problems. Right - got that out the way. Fresh installs of XP SP2 is the way to go.
    I have also followed the instructions here:
    http://http://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=3478
    But, I keep going round in circles. Can't update firmware without driver, can't update driver without firmware.
    Any driver install I try asks me to connect the device to complete the installation, but, it won't recognise the device because there is no firmware. I try to upload the firmware, and it says there is no device (because there is no driver).
    I have tried multiple machines, with SP2 installed and only WMP9 (never had WMP0).
    I have tried USB , 2, hubs, front ports back ports, again on multiple machines.
    I've even used an XP install on VMware on a MAC (This was the closest to success).
    On the Mac, The player was recognised even in its flash problem state and I could actually start the firmware update. However, it failed to complete successfully.
    Has anyone actually managed to do a firmware update on n old Zen using a 2008 PC? Please help!

    If your player had PlaysForSure firmware, you'll need to download a PlaysForSure firmware version. That should resolve your issues since PlaysForSure does not use a Creative driver but rather a nati've Windows driver. But you will need to have WMP0 installed, WMP9 does not support PlaysForSure.

  • Windows 8: Bit Locker encrypted drive "Access Denied" external drive

    I rebuilt my computer and installed win 8.1 pro.  Now my external drive comes up as an empty drive with "Access denied".  Here is the kicker: I had turned off bitlocker on the external drive long ago as it interfered with automated backups.
    Running the commands suggested here:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/738c1760-c96d-430f-9ae6-1f28f5c60998/windows-8-bit-locker-encrypted-drive-not-found-or-access-denied?forum=w8itprosecurity it shows the bitlocker but as unlocked.  Drive still shows empty.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Markus

    Ahh, turns out to be permission issue not bitlocker (or maybe bitlocker caused it to lose permissions, don't know).
    Opened MyPc, right click on drive ->properties->security->advanced and selected apply to all.

    1) Are you on a 2008 Server? If so you will need to right click and run as administrator on the EMC/Powershell you are using.
    2) Did you Prepare the Legacy Permissions when you did the new Exchange install?

  • Drive Access denied

    when i try to open my D:/ drive that is on my laptop, it displays an error "D:/ is not accessible. access is denied". i tried to change the security settings but there's no security tab in the properties menu.i even logged in as super administrator
    but the result is same. i even tried to open it through command prompt, even then the result is same. please help me out...i have all the important data on the drive...

    Hi,
    No Security tab can be caused due to the file system of Drive D is not NTFS.
    Please right click on Drive D and click Properties to check the file system. If the file system is FAT32, you may perform the following steps to convert
    it to NTFS. After that, you can modify the permission settings under Security tab.
    NOTE: Although the possibility of corruption or data loss during the conversion is minimal, it is recommended that you perform a backup of the data on
    the volume that needs to be converted before starting the conversion.
    To convert an existing FAT or FAT32 volume to NTFS, please follow these steps:
    1. Click "Start", click "All programs", and click "Accessories". 
    2. Right-click "Command Prompt", and click "Run as administrator".
    3. In "Administrator: Command Prompt" window, type the following command and press Enter.
    CONVERT %drive letter%: /FS:NTFS
    %drive letter% is the driver that you want to convert. For example, type the following command to convert the E Drive to NTFS:
    CONVERT E: /FS:NTFS
    3. When the following message is displayed in the command prompt window, type the volume label of the drive that you are converting, and then press ENTER:
    The type of the file system is FAT.
    Enter the current volume label for drive %drive letter%:
    Type any character string for the Volume Label. If you just press Enter, it will assign "Local Disk" as the default Volume Label.
    4. When the conversion to NTFS is complete, the following line is displayed in the command prompt window:
    "Conversion complete"
    5. Quit the command prompt.
    Does it work?
    Regards,

  • Can't update driver HP Envy 4502-e

    Hello, I don't understand how to update my HP Envy 4502-e drivers (all-in-one printer). I am on windows 7. Device manager shows my driver for the printer as version 30.0.1044.40289, driver date 16/12/2012.You're website shows a more recent driver 32.3, driver date jul 30 2014. If I download the driver and try to install, it blinks from step 1 "Prepare", then stays on Step 2 "connect". If I click continue the only options are 'connect a new printer' or 'reconfigure wireless settings' (and also an option to add software if I download the 'full software and drivers'  file, but the software options are just things like HP Photosmart and not a driver install). I've tried downloading both the basic driver installation and the 'full software and drivers' file, but there's no driver update from the installation. Device manager still shows the 2012 verion 30.0.1044.40289. If I try to update through device manager it says it's up-to-date. HP Update also doesn't show any driver updates. Can you explain what is going on, and how to update your drivers? Do I have to uninstall the old driver or something before I can update? Thanks

    Hi Marin456, Sometime it's best to completely uninstall the drivers and start fresh.    Check out this forum posting/link on how-to completely uninstall/reinstall your software drivers.  Good Luck!    

  • DVD drives access denied

    Here's a weird one. Win 8.1 Pro

    Everything works fine except for the two DVD drives.
    Both say Location is not available

    Access is denied
    In Advanced Security the Owner is : Unable to display current owner. 
    When you hit change it says Cant open access control editor. unable to performoperation on an object that has

    I tried adding the registry subkey to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks!

    What is this "New computer with a transferred SSD HD"?
    This is not vanilla plain new installation? You have transferred SSD from another computer? If this is a case, then no wonder that you have problems. Reinstall.

  • Can't update or access itunes

    I received an upgrade notification and told it to download and install, but I didn't reboot my machine until later. When it came back up, and I tried to open itunes, this error popped up - "This action is only valid for products that are installed." I rebooted again and got the same thing. Can I download iTunes and install it and not lose my music files? i have tried to install the latest version but it can't uninstall the old one so I'm stuck not being able to open or reinstall itunes, what can i do to resolve this?

    Hello haylz_mcg,
    It looks to me like you're dealing with two issues at this point. Regarding the "action is only valid for products that are installed, it is the shortcut you're clicking on that needs to be removed.
    Before attempting to reinstall iTunes, delete the shortcut from your desktop (and from the systray if applicable).
    The specific message you're getting when you try to uninstall iTunes would have been helpful, but chances are it's the Apple Software Update program that's preventing iTunes from successfully uninstalling.
    Repair the Apple Software Update program as follows:
    Open Control Panel(s) from your Start Menu
    Select Add/Remove Programs
    Select Apple Software Update
    Click on "Change"
    Select Repair.
    This should repair the Apple Software Update to a condition where it can be successfully removed when you install the latest version of iTunes.
    When you download iTunes, I suggest choosing "Save" instead of "Run" and save the installer to your Desktop and run it from there.
    If you still have difficulty getting the installer to run, then try following the steps in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    As long as you don't uncheck the "Add iTunes and QuickTime shortcuts to my Desktop" option in the iTunes installer, you should have a new shortcut that opens iTunes once again.

  • VBScript that traps error "Access Denied"

    I am newbie in VBScript. I have been trying a script where my requirement is, if the "ACCESS DENIED" error is coming, I need a prompt "Do you still want to continue?".
    My question is how can we trap the "ACCESS DENIED" error and as user ""Do
    you still want to continue?"
    Kindly, push me in right direction. Thanks in advance.

    Yes just use normal VBScript error methods.  Check for the error and ask the question then take required action.
    There is no specifc one lineof code to do this.  You will have to write it.

  • Can't open ANY pdf files. Updated to 10.1.8--still "Access Denied."

    Hello everyone,
    I am currently unable to open any PDF files.
    I recently did a clean re-install of Windows 7 (restored my Toshiba Satellite to out-of-the-box state).
    After that, I restored all of my personal files from an external HD.
    Now, every time I try to open a PDF, Adobe Reader gives me the following message:
    "There was an error opening the file. Access denied."
    The only solution I've been able to find online has been this:
    Edit > Preferences > General> Clear "Enable Protected Mode at Startup"
    Also,
    Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)> Clear "Enable Enhanced Security"
    Neither of these has fixed my problem.
    I also updated to the lastest version--10.1.8--with no success.
    I also re-downloaded and installed PDF Creator and its companion, PDF Architect. Curiously enough, I can't open any PDF in that program either. I'm not sure if there is some global setting I'm missing or something.
    Access to these files is critical to my work, so any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Lauren

    I updated from within the Adobe Reader X program (Help > Check for Updates) and it tells me: No updates available. Installed: Adober Reader X (10.1.8) MUI
    Is 11.0.5 something I would have to access another way?
    Also, I'm still not sure if that would fix my problem. It seems most people with the "Access Denied" error had it fixed with the very first 10.1 update, and I have 10.1.8, so I'm not sure what's causing mine.
