Unable to copy file because access is denied but will this fix the screensaver problem?

Are you using an "Elevated Command Prompt" as the instructions tell you to. You do this by typing CMD into the search box, a pop up menu appears above and then you need to right click on CMD and select "Run as Administrator".

And in answer to the question, due to the lack of any information on this file the simple answer is I don't know.

This guide I found for Vista but it should apply, may be worth a read. Some of the command scripts will allow you to see what is going on. The suggestion in post 106 (below the guide) might also be of use.

I know this is old correspondence, but thought someone might be able to help me with the same problem. I have a new computer with Windows 7, and a new monitor that never goes to screen saver or to sleep. It just stays on the last screen I was on. I set it to have the display go off after 3 minutes, and set the computer to go to sleep after 45. I don't know if the computer goes to sleep, but monitor never goes off or to screensaver. A moment ago I reset the power saver settings to default. From what I have read, a wireless mouse can cause this problem, but it was happening with a wired mouse also. FYI, this particular CPR is a replacement for the one I had purchased a few weeks earlier because the hard drive was failing on the first one and the store replaced it. The problem happened with both computers. I did not try all the various suggestions in this correspondence because I couldn't follow it all and they hadn't work for hightech0101 anyway. Whatever it is that can be 32 or 64 bit (I'm not technical) , I have 64 bit.

This fix may not work for everyone, depends on your overall configerarion, however I tried all the suggestions I could find via Google searches. By chance I noticed in the task manager that although there were no applications running (idle mode) there were several google Chrome processes running despite the fact that I have never used Google Chrome, was downloaded with an adobe application. I decided to take a shot in the dark and uninstall google chrome, however when selecting "uninstall" from the control panel I received a error "close all Google Chrome screens and try again". I referred back to the task manager and ended all Google Chrome processes whereafter the uninstall was successful. The screensaver worked immidiately without a reboot. Good luck!

To the OP, Right click a bare spot on your desktop>Personalize>ScreenSaver & where it shows the length of time you have to "wait" till the screensaver starts, what does it show? If its a very high number, left click the DOWN arrow till you get to a reasonable time, sit & wait.
IF this has been previously mentioned, I didn't see it.

Guess what!

In my case I discovered that it is an "OR" situation, and not a "AND" situation! I have to choose if I want to use the "screensaver", the "dim" or the "turn off". Only one of them works!

If all them are enabled, only the first one that happen will work. I.e.: If the screensaver is programmed for 10min but the "dim" for 5 minutes, only "dim" will work.

I choosed the "turn off" option and now it is working.

UPDATE:
Screensaver + "turn off" also work. Seems that the problem is with the "dim" option.

System: Dell XPS; Win 7 Home Premium; second monitor installed, Logitech wireless mouse connected and working.

What is the "dim" option? I'm on my Win 7 & don't believe I've seen that. Just curious.

Learninmypc,

Sorry for the false alarm. The solution that I sent is not working on my PC anymore.

The DIM that I refered to is the time that you set to dim the monitor, reduce the brightness.

Ok, since I still am unfamiliar with it, I'm not going to be concerned about it. But thanks for the reply.
What is it you are trying to do on yours?

Rasman -----Remote Access Connection Manager.

Stop the service and check and if it helps?
Start-->Run--type services.msc (or from CMD window)
Scroll down and double-click "Remote Access Connection Manager."
Click the down arrow next to "Startup Type:" and select "Disabled." Click "Stop" under the Service Status heading.
Click "Apply," "OK." Remote Access Connection Manager is now disabled
Restart PC and ??

And as you told before
