Windows won't paste folders into different folders or drives.
Hi,
I've been trying to sort this problem for 2 days and it's driving me nuts!
I can copy folder(s) but when I try to paste them into another folder or drive I get a pop-up -
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program C:\windows\explorer.exe abnormal program termination.
when I click OK all my desktop icons disappear for a second or 2 and then they come back. When I right click, the Paste option is grey as if it has forgotten I've copied something 30 seconds before.
I can copy a few small files to different folders and drives but that's about it.
I've run anti-virus and mailware - nothing. I've run sfc /scannow, no results. I tried to do a clean boot but it couldn't find misconfig.exe . So I downloaded the file and tried to paste it into windows\system32 and it asked if I wanted to paste it over the old one. Clicking ok it said access is denied. So I ran misconfig from the desktop, did a clean boot, tried copy and paste and the same runtime error came up.
I checked the permissions for the windows folders and C drive: both said I didn't have full control, I just have Modify, read and write. When I tried to get full control it came with access is denied.
I've tried copy and paste in Safe Mode, still get the error. I don't know what else to do. Any help would be great.
Thanks.
