Unable To Delete Folders Windows Xp
Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:59:35 +0000
Although I am the administrator of this machine, I am unable to delete a folder from my Start Menu. If I right-click on the folder, "Delete" and "Rename" have a blue and yellow shield next to them. If I hit delete it says I need permission from myself to delete that folder. If I go to Properties/Security I note that there are no permissions active. When attempting to change the permissions, I am unable to check any of the boxes. How weird is that?? Above the edit button it says "No groups or users have permission to access this object. However, the owner of this object can assign permissions"
I am the owner of this object, yet I cannot assign permissions. Can anyone help??

Mads Tejlgaard said...Will you be doing a post on exactly what the ramifications are of this change?
It seems like it will make the tablet a lot more useful?
Need to install the latest firmware to work.
JKK said...I'm on 1.3.08
Anyone with older or newer? Works?
I have 1.3.07 and going to give it a try. By the way JKK has your YouTube stopped working with some YouTube videos on your Archos 5?
HG
Seems not to work with Windows 7. When you point to find USB drivers it won't find them. I will have to use my Viliv S5 with XP.
HG
yep, some youtube videos stopped working with 1.3.08..
.. i installed this hack from windows 7.. worked fine when you choose " let me choose the driver manually"
Anyone else getting Cannot install this hardware even though I point to the driver folder. I thought maybe it was Windows 7 and just tried XP and same thing.
HG
Thanks JKK, will try to redownload driver again. I do choose manually, but nada. :) by the way I downloaded this drivers from the link you have. Maybe I am missing something.
AdbWinApi.dll
android_usb.inf
androidusb.sys
androidusb86.cat
WdfCoInstaller01005.dll
also have the
acp.exe
adb.exe and the system folder.
HG
Same situation for me ! redownloaded and everything !
AjoSan Kenobi said...I have driver, downloaded from archos ftp, aparently installed ok.
Last firmware (1.4.09) on my A5A.
Last Android SDK R3 downloaded and uncompressed to c:\adb
Also downloaded form archos FTP and subtituted in c:\adb\tools: adb.exe, acp.exe and AdbWinApi.dll
Command 'adb devices' returns this:
C:\adb\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
A5H-6E580004-00000000-040364F5-03022007 device
system folder from market4archos.zip copied to c:\adb\tools
but command:
C:\adb\tools>adb push system /data/test/system
don't do anything. Any message and keeps locked until I press CTRL+C
What I'm doing wrong? Some advice?
Thanks in advance...
What Firmware do you have vickam? I have 1.3.07 I didn't want to up date but seems that some YouTube videos still don't work with .07 anyways.
JKK said...I tested now with 1.4.09 and it works fine too..
.. Looks like you are doing all just like you should.. which OS you have.. I used W7
I tried on Windows 7 and XP with no luck but once I get back home I will update Firmware and see if that's the problem.
Anonymous said...I don't understand step 7 'cause when I enter 'adb push system /data/test/system' nothing happens... Please help!!!
Anonymous said...Just to add your archos MUST be running the latest firmware version 1.4.* from support.archos.com before this will work. Then everything should go well. Thanks alot great hack :)
ReFlexx
I'm stuck at step 7... In the command prompt I cd to the map where adb.exe, I then run adb.exe and insert the command 'adb push system /data/test/system'. Unfortunately nothing happens :-(
Any suggestions?
I am able to install but my Archos keep crashing. Any ideas?
Jeremy said...I can't download the second file....any help?
Anonymous said...my windows XP os wont install the archos 5 drivers you gave me. please help thanks
Anonymous said...put a video review of gstuff please :)
Anonymous said...If anyone is using a older Firmware update to 1.4.09 like JKK mention. Once I updated to this Firmware I was able to install using Windows 7.
Only thing Installing the Google Maps; I did rename it to .apk and get a "Parse Error" There is a problem parsing the package. Any ideas?
HG
this is stupid...i tried everything and didnt work plus my driver got damaged..this doesnt work at all....now i have to erase all my files.. this is very dissapointing
Anonymous said...Make sure you have the newest firmware, even though some are able to install with older one. I updated my firmware and then was able to install this following JKK instructions. Can you post what you are having trouble with?
By the way got Google Maps to install. I thought you had to rename the zip file to apk, but you actually right click and choose extract files.
I found my problem. I have to pretty much delete all my application that I install manually from the apk files. They cause the Archos to crash. Another anomaly that I observe is that I have to keep performing the accelerometer calibration with the Archos after the install. I finally just turn off the auto rotation for now.

is there an alternative mirror?
Has anyone attempted to install Spotify? Does it work ok?
JKK said...Spotify works...
bEE2643 said...Can someone upload the items in step 2 to rapidshare or somesthing??
Anonymous said...Having a great problem... my Windows XP doenst recognize the archos in adb mode in the right way. He calls it Archos5 and the drivers do not work -.-. I have the latest update on my archos but still cant install the drivers :(
Anonymous said...Worked perfectly!!! Thanks!
Anonymous said...@bEE2643 Some have posted that if you have a firewall it doesn't let you download the files. Just disable to download. I just checked and I can still download them just fine.
@Anonymous Great you got it working. This is very nice hack to be able to have Gmail, Calendar, and your contacts all synced or at least you can view and update while using the Archos 5 for those times that you just need to check something.
This Archos 5 IT is starting to look better now that we can access google market. Just been able to access your Gmail, Contacts, Calendar, and GPS which works pretty good. I had tried the 7 day trial against my Nuvii and I was impressed that if you really wanted a all in one device. The Archos 5 can come very close. Now I need to find a way to tether my BlackBerry Storm 2 to it so when I just want to browse or use google maps for navigation and traffic I can do it on the road and not need Wi-Fi.
HG
someone please post a walkthrough please for windows 7 ultimate. ThanksQ
Mike Cane said...Mirrors is right! I can't download the zip in step one without a Premium account!
Isaac said...I think I may have found a problem with the driver issues on windows 7. When it windows downloads the android_usb.inf file it saves it as .inf.TXT. you need to get rid of the .txt part of it and hopefully all should be well
Anonymous said...@Jeremy, I just did mine with JKK's instruction using Windows 7 Ultimate on my Macbook Pro. This is what I did.
1. Downloaded Market file from http://rapidshare.com/files/312721352/market4archos.zip which is what JKK has.
2. Download the USB drivers from above in step 2.
3. Make sure you have the newer firmware on your Archos 5, even though some report they have been able to install with older firmware.Put your Archos in ADB mode; see above.
4. Follow step 4 in JKK's instructions above.
5. I created a folder under C:\ and called it Archos and placed all the drivers I downloaded from step 2; from above, and put the system folder from step 1 download.
6. Type CMD on start and I right clicked CMD and ran as admin.
7. Then type I typed cd c:\Archos which is the folder that contians all the files.
8. Then just type adb push system /data/test/system and reboot your Archos.
9. Then download the Maps see above and save them to your computer.
10. Right click the zip files and extract them then put them on your Archos by connecting to the computer and choose mount. I put them in the downloads folder of the Archos and just went to file manager on the Archos after I disconnected from computer to click the maps and street level
How to "uninstall" the files from the device ? On windows platform.
AjoSan Kenobi said...OK. I finally could install the google apps. But not before a full factory reset.
Is not enough to do "settings -> about device -> repair and formating -> Full reiniticialization" but also you must do the "volume + power on" trick and reinstall the last firmware.
I couldn't wait to do a full testing of new apps :-D
JKK, Thank you very much.
Finally I got the Market and the Gtuff.
My experience is: don't use IE to download the driver stuff, use other browser.
android_usb.inf would not work with '.txt' and not an '.inf' file.
JKK, please help us iPhone user to tether with A5A and that should be our biggest hope.
Will this create a dual boot between Android or the Archos' native OS, whatever that is? Or will Android become the default OS? I don't have an Archos but I'm tempted to get a 250gb model from Amazon for $200 to do this.
Anonymous said...Native OS is Android...the Android marketplace app isn't inclided however since the form factor is unique (hence need for this hack)
Anonymous said...Thanks for this great hack. It works perfectly with my Archos 5 internet tablet. (32gb)
Bayo
@ anonymous, yeah the 2nd file doesn't let me download it, can anyone upload it for me please?
Eilene said...Im running Parallels on my mac & mounting it to Windows. When I go to my Computer, I don't see my Archos. How do I get the files to the Archos?
Anonymous said...just a little note about the driver issue everyone is having prior to 1.4.08 the device identifier for adb purposes was incorrect so the windows driver was showing in the windows system as not containing any actual driver data to windows because it had 2 different identifiers, firmware 1.4.08 fixes this which is why it is best to update it that way it will work. Additionally windows will warn its unsigned dont worry about that it doesnt matter it still works.
