Access denied

Recommended Posts

When I click on the type of file I am looking for, it enters the file descriptions, such as jpeg ect, but also enters a red square with a star in the middle and when I click on scan, it comes back access denied?? :( What is happening??

Hi Dou, and welcome to Piriform.

 

The red square is there simply to clear the box for a different entry or to leave it blank and scan for all files.

 

Instructions here referencing that particular function:

Which Operating System are you using, and which type of file are you searching for?

When I click on the "E" drive that is displayed, and then scan, it tells me access denied. The file name box won't let me type anything in the way of a file path. ???

Are you trying to recover the files from a different User Account, or maybe you don't have admin rights to these files?

 

You said were looking for a type of file. Was it any type in particular, or have you done a scan with the file box empty?

I have admin rights , and the files are in the same user account.

 

I am looking for photo files, deleted from Picasa. I am not able to post to the file box, it won't let me do anything to it.

 

when I press the scan button, it always comes back access denied.

Are you running any security software it sounds like Recuva is being prevented from performing it's low level scanning.
