I bought a piece of software that required me to go to the companies website and download a "validation" file. The problem is every time I open up the file to validate it I get:
"The operating system denied access to the specified file"
I'm running in administrator mode, does anyone have suggestions on how to get around this? thanks
System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to list. OS XP, Seven, 2008R2 CPU AMD, Intel, VIA Motherboard Various Memory Corsair, Kingston, etc. Graphics Card ATI, NVIDIA Monitor(s) Displays Samsung
Keyboard qwerty Hard Drives Maxtor, Western Digital Internet Speed 22 Mb/s @ home, 1 Gb/s @ server Other Info All of my systems still run fastest on XP 32-bit for the most part. Win7 is fun to play with, but I still prefer XP for raw speed, security, and functionality.

Check if the file is blocked. Right click/properties and look in the bottom right corner for it.

It could be that any AntiVirus software you are running is blocking the file. Are you trying to 'Run' the file from download or are you 'Saving' to a location then trying to run?
