About a week ago a new error started popping up when I tried to use some software...
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the proper permissions to access them.
I checked all my permissions, even tried to reinstall the program to find I could not. Something was blocking the WinZip self-extractor. Then another program went down.
I suspected my firewall... but that was not it. It was only by accident when I was installing a Microsoft fix for the error that I shut down Avast... and suddenly everything worked. I looked in Avast and found only an exclusion list that seemed applicable, but adding the two programs did not help.
Is this a known bug? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
