Can't open my own files!

Post by dravenmoon »

Hi,

I am hoping someone can help.
Certain files say access is denied and I need to contact the adminstration for permission!
I am the administrator!
So, how do I get access to my files?????

What is your operating system? Please update your signature to include OS information.

What is the exact error message?

In addition, are you talking about OpenOffice files (text, spreadsheet...) or just any file?

So, what about our OS and the kind of files impacted?

Well, there are several discussions about similar issues, see this query.

Can you try with LibreOffice? At least a portable version.
Else, you may have to dig into the security applications settings.
