    "Windows cannot find" error that won't let me open downloaded files


    Sudden problem with downloading files, no matter where I store them, even if in the base C: folder. Error I get: Windows cannot find" then a path, sometimes the path says AppData/Roaming, sometimes it's the legit path for the file. Also, DropBox app will not open, the same error results.

  3. Vista x64 won't download updates?

    The last updates on my home desktop are dated 16th June.
    I've powered it on some 3 or 4 times since then, but nothing was downloaded automatically as per settings.

    I tried the manual update from the CP but I get an error code 80070002.

    I did the troubleshooting suggested (i.e. stop the Windows Update service, delete the temporary update files, restart the Windows Update service, and then try to check for Windows updates again) but I still keep getting the same error code, even after rebooting *Confused "Windows cannot find" error that won't let me open downloaded files :confused:

    What gives?
