 |
|
Hi!
I haven't had this problem before until moving to Windows 7.
Now I'm getting the error message:
Cannot access folder c:\Users\Karen\Documents\My Music\. Folder excluded. Do you want to continue?
How can I get around this so the program will compare this folder too? |

I've had the same problem. I take the hard drive out of my wife's computer and plug it in to my computer (Window 7 64-bit) and use ViceVersa to copy her & the kid's documents to a back up folder on my computer. They all have passwords on their accounts. When I try to execute the mirror source to target I get the same kind of errors and the folders do not get backed. So I have to manually copy the folders. I'm running version 2.5. |

Try right clicking on the ViceVersa shortcut and then select 'Run as administrator'.

|
|
I am having the same problem as I evaluate the new 2.5 version of ViceVersa. I also just added a new laptop running Win7, so I assume security is somehow involved as well. Unfortunately, I have not ben able to get ViceVersa to run correctly since trying to run it on the Win7 laptop.
I am running as an administrator and recently turned off "homegroups" to try to resolve the issue. I don't have any problems running the old version of ViceVersa beween any of the WinXP machines.
I have tried everything I know -- I can use some help -- anyone, anyone?

Hi, did you try right clicking on the ViceVersa PRO shortcut and select 'Run as administrator'. By default Windows 7 does not run programs with full admin rights even if you are logged in as admin and that could cause some permission issues. thanks

| Ah - although the error didn't indicate this, it appears to have been a long path problem. Specifying \\?\D:\ as the source seems to have solved this. |
