Re: sp3 Access Is Denied -- Need Help

I've run into this same problem on my HP desktop. I've taken the necessary steps to diasble my Symantec Realtime Protection, as well as Spybot Resident. I've also ended the TeaTimer process. I've done all 3 tasks including running the registry fixer and it still gives me the access denied error.

The one thing I've noticed is that everytime the error pops up, my Symantec Realtime Protection seems to have been enabled, despite me disabling it before trying to download. I've taken off the option to auto-enable after x amount of minutes once disabled, so I'm hoping that will be it.

This is extremely frustrating as I've tried to do this for several days now. Are there any other options?

The first thing I am supposed to do in Method 3 is to download the SubInACL.exe file and install it. My question is whether the SubInACL.exe file will install and work under Windows XP Home. The System Requirements for downloading and installing the program list a number of operating systems, but the only one listed for XP is XP Professional (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en).

Check this link above. I have two Dell laptops and experienced the same thing you are encountering. The above link solved the problem.

I believe that most computers built by Dell have this problem but, it is solved very easily.
