Am getting Run-time Error "File 53 Not Found"
How do I replace this file or correct the situation. I am now unable to load
any Antivirus software or Windows Defender?
 
Have you determined who is putting out the error message?

If not, when the Error Message appears, open Task Manager, Click on the
Application name that shows that window that displays the error message,
right click on the name, and click on Go To Process.

It should show you the controlling application that put the message out.
 
Sorry Larry
I cannot get the Task Manager to list any open application. The "Window" is
one of those small flag-type windows with the yellow exclamation mark (one
says: "Run-time error 53: File Not Found" and another "Run-time Error 70:
Permission Denied")

Many Thanks

Have you checked Event Viewer by chance to see if it logged the error in
some shape or form?

Another alternate, which as allowed me to track down MANY errors and
solutions is to use three freeware tools:

FileMon - monitor file processing on your system
RegMon - monitor registry processing on your system
Process Explorer - monitor processes on your system

They are all at www.sysinternals.com. I am not associated with them in any
means.

How often do you get these errors ... and can you cause them.

Both of these errors, is due to some file access problem ... one being that
a specific file is not found and another that the permissions are incorrect
.... it could be the same process.

FileMon will monitor AND tell you when the errors occur ... what file it was
trying to find.

The output is extensive, but you can filter it down not to monitor certain
activity ... so that you can pinpoint activity on one/some process.
