I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 with XP Pro, sp3 installed. It has been working
fine until the last week. Now, when logged into the Administrator account, I
am receiving "access denied" errors when installing, uninstalling or
accessing folders. For example, today I tried to download the Windows update
KB961118 and it failed because of access rights issues. Over the last couple
of days, I also have tried to uninstall software, and have received the same
error.
I can fix this if I go to the folders and take ownership of the folders and
sub-folders again. On some of these, I've noticed that the current owner is
not listed, but blank. I've been able to work around it, but am worried that
I have significant issues with my security.
Has anyone else experienced or does anyone have ideas on how to troubleshoot
and fix?
Thanks!
