Hi, First, as this issue mostly caused by the inappropriate or Conflicting Security Permissions on the folder. Please remove and re-adding the permissions to the folder to have a test. If the issue persists, please go to temporarily disable the third party programs and boot in Clean Boot to check. Regards, Sabrina TechNet Subscriber Support in forum.

This has still not resolved the issue.

Hi, Please let me know what is that file such as the type or other file information and if it is created by other programs. Is it able to create a new file with the same name and remove the older one? Before doing this, please back up it. Regards, Sabrina TechNet Subscriber Support in forum.

Hello Sabrina. I am having this same problem. I am using Windows search to ID images that are over "x"-pixels' height. Then I am trying to drag and drop batch-file more than ~20 of them in Windows Vista--and I get this error. I applied Full perms to the folder in question. Vista Home Premium SP2. ~Michael

Hi Sabrina, It is any file that you try and open, Alot of the time it is a .docx or .xlsx but this happens everytime.

Hi, Is the Office program installed? Which version of Office did you install? Please check that if it is able to open the .docx or .xlsx files directly. Also, please check if the file name or the path is too long. Please use a shorter file name for the file, or move the file so that its full path is shorter to have a test. Also, please check if there is any special symbol in the file name. Regards, Sabrina TechNet Subscriber Support in forum.
