WINDOWS CANNOT ACCESS THE SPECIFIED DEVICE, PATH, OR FILE.

[Pryhthm]

I recently started getting an error message stating that "WINDOWS CANNOT
ACCESS THE SPECIFIED DEVICE, PATH, OR FILE. YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE
APPROPRIATE PERMISSIONS TO ACCESS THE ITEM", or more recently APPLICATIION
NOT FOUND, whenever I double click on my cd rom drives. If I right click on
the drive icon and click EXPLORE, I can access
the files on any disc in the drive. If I go into safe mode, I don't get the
error message. I am currently running Windows Vista Home Premium and I am an
administrator. UAC is off. I am not sure if it has anything to do with it,
but I recently uninstalled AVAST antivirus software. If anyone has any
suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks.

I have this same problem too, I'm on Vista Home Basic.
But, I had these files installed, and working just fine.
Then all of a sudden, It wouldn't let me open them, and It wouldn't show the
icon for it anymore, Just the default .exe icon.

Can someone help?
I need these programs.
