When I try to load some software that is an executable file, it will not load saying "windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" or another says it "cannot execute the external program". I am the only user and have admin rights. When these programs are loaded on another system it seems as if the files it cannot load are similar to popup files. I have uninstalled my virus software still no luck. Any suggestions?
