    Documents won't open


    I had to reinstall Windows 10 had my Documents folder on my D drive. Windows is installed on C drive. Every time I try to open a document i get You do not have permission to open this doc. I am the admin and no other users. I tried every thing I could think of. Any ideas why it won't let me open doc files. I have no other problems just this one.

    :)

    Can't open documents

    Hi Marilyn,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    In order to narrow down the issue and provide appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with answers to the questions below.



    1. Is it any specific document, a document type or all documents, you are unable to open?
    2. What happens when you try to open the documents?
    3. Do you get any error message while trying to open the documents?


    We look forward for your reply.

    Documents won't open

    Sony Sound Forge 7 won't open since Windows 10 upgrade

    Tried to open my registered Sony Sound Forge 7 software program today and realized that since Windows 10 upgrade, like some other software programs affected, this one won't open.

    (1) Tried some of the suggestions in regedit but didn't see all of the Sony entries listed in the steps

    (2) Tried opening with "run as administrator" - didn't work.

    Any suggestions?
