i am the only user in this computer and i am using a manager account and i tried to take ownership on any folder and any file in the computer but still i have this sort of problems everynow and then like in the codecs pack Win 7 codecs v1.2.6 even when i right click and choose open asadministrator it doesn't help i still get 1303 errori try checking the folder that is causing the problem in progremdata folder but no luck something is really must be done to fix all those priviliges problems windows 7 have it worse then in windows xp.:)how can i fix this?

How did you install it? The folder "ProgramData" is not the regular program storage folder in Windows 7 RC. As in previous Windows systems, programs are installed in "Program Files" directory. Also when installing, I suggest that you keep the anti-virus disabled.Arthur Xie - MSFT

it should be installed in Program Files\win7codecs there is why i don't understand this 1303error with c:\progremdata\microsofot\windows\...\shark007 and i tried to disable my eset smart security but no luck and by the way every now and then i get an error from nod32 saying that he can't create temp files and also i errors with priviliges in this directory and drivers files and etc windows 7 has it share of problems with permisions and owenrships.

Hi aviramof, 1. Select Start -> All Programs -> Accessories. 2. Right-click on Command Prompt and select "Run As Administrator". A Command Prompt window will open. 3. In the Command Prompt window, type the following commands exactly as they appear below (including all spaces and quotation marks, and press Enter at the end of each line): icacls "c:\ProgramData" /T /C /grant administrators:F exit Hope it helps. My English is not very well.

now it's working thanks a lot for your help:)the installer did give me a 1909 error but he still installed the codec pack?tell me can i use this command this way:icacls "c:\ /T /C /grant administrators:Ficacls "d:\" /T /C /grant administrators:Fand etc to prevent future problems?10x in advance.:)

My English is not very well.

So, what might be wrong with giving Administrators Full privileges with every single file and folderon the disk?I have the urge to try it... Uh oh. Better do a full image backup first. :))
