This issue is NOT standard to vista, so theres no point downgrading to XP, at worst you can simply reinstall vista.<br><br>What error message pops up?<br><br>Check that the file paths including names aren't too long. A file name + path cannot exceed 64 characters. Downloaded zips can sometimes create uber long file names which exceed this 64 character limit and cause an error during extraction, or relocation to a different file path.<br><br>Check the registry for errors using an elevated command prompt:<br><br>sfc /scannow<br><br>Also, check that the hard drive isn't the problem or that new files aren't corrupted. First open the files that wont move to check they are intact. Next put in a usb flash drive or equivelent, and try to move files around on the flash drive. Try to extract a folder within the flash drive to another point on the flash drive. It it works, then its not vista thats the problem.<br>Mon, 09 Jun 2008 15:49:06 GMTkingofnexushttp://www.vistaforums.com/Forum/Topic130388-9-1.aspxI'm completely baffled by whats going on, vista seems to selectively deny me access to files in some of my folders; particularly the ones i've recently unzipped- then, i cannot extract files into certain folders, or transfer; as soon as i start, the bar goes red, and i'm lost as to what to do other than cancel the process <br><br><br>any info on this? as much as i enjoy the indexing feature, this is a really bad problem, and i might have to go back to XPMon, 09 Jun 2008 12:47:03 GMTDitas
