UPDATE ON SOLUTION: Use Resident Shield Exceptions instead, see the annotation at 2:35 to see where this is if you can’t find it. ‘Windows cannot access the specified device,path,or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.’ AVG Free Solution: So you get that message when you try to open a file even if you do have the administrator rights on your user account. This is commonly caused by AVG Free Anitvirus recognising the file as anti-Windows. You may have tried exiting the AVG user interface in the task bar and found that the program still cannot be open. I show you how i managed to fix this problem with my example of WPE Pro being used. -Dr.Chaos

OMG thank you so much. i was trying to use a keygen but this popped up lol. i’ve been looking on the web for about an hour till i found this ty so much!
Thanks, it helped.
I still feel sorry for others though.
my problem is my avg anti virus is block also i can run it help me please to run this what can i do?
Do you have any other antivirus installed?
i unistall my antivirus (AVG) and i thought the problem will be soluted but it still is..and the worst i cant install AVG again!! it doesnt let me!!!!!HELP !!!!!
It still doesn’t work.. (not the program your talking about) I’m just trying to patch a game, and when i press the .exe patch file, it keeps on doing this message. And i’ve followed your tutorial :/
ughh when i am going to the file to add exception i cant find that icon (wpe pro) the file is .zip i dont know why i cant find that icon!
Use Resident Shield Exceptions and select the whole folder containing the game (usually in Program Files). Read description if you need help with resident shield.
I’m borrowing a game of my friend and after i installed it I tried to play it but the message came up and I’m not sure what part of the file is stopping me.
you took a while to get into the tutorial
but WELLL done, goood job! 5 starz
Do u have windows xp, have u tried booting up in safe mode?
i am getting the pop up message when i try to start mulitple files like internet explorer, corel draw…ect… but the biggest problem and why i cant follow your walk though is that the pop up happens when i try to open or access AVG and the AVG icon is not in the bottom tray. any idea how to by-pass it
Though, I don’t have AVG, this was enough to tell me to disable my antivirus (Norton) to access blocked files.
@SinnedGod, where do you go to access the resident shield?
THANK You!!! I was afraid someone downloaded something malicious on my computer.

I get that same message when I try to download off The Sims 2 site. Can someone please tell me what to do? I’m not computer literate, so you might have to dumb it down.. A lot. I mean, really.. I’m stupid with computers. I don’t even know what an executable is. lol
Btw, I have McAfee Not AVG. Thought I would add that, because it seems important. lol
