SYMPTOMS

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

RESOLUTION

 * 1) Log on to the system as an administrator.
 * 2) In Windows Explorer, locate the C:\Program Files\Groove Networks directory. Right-click the Groove Networks folder, click Properties, click the Security tab, and then click Advanced.
 * 3) At the bottom of the dialog box, click to select the Inherit permissions option and the Replace permissions option.

Note The names of these options may vary, depending on which version of Windows you are running.
 * 1) Click OK.
