Hey Guys,
I had an issue with my external western digital passport. I got a replacement sent to me, and last night, I left my computer on, transferring data from one external to the other. In the morning, I saw went into My Computer, and right clicked on the hard drive and clicked on properties to see if the file sizes were the same. I was greeted with the message, -Desktop- The properties for this item are not available. THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST WITH MY EXTERNAL DRIVES THAT ARE PLUGGED IN, ITS ALSO HAPPENING WITH MY C DRIVE, DVD DRIVE, BASICALLY EVERYTHING IN MY COMPUTER, WHEN I GO INTO DRIVE C, AND RIGHT CLICK A FILE GO TO PROPERTIES, THE PROPERTIES COME UP
Then, I did some googling, and tried some registry fix, that seemed to have worked for two other people,
Solved The properties for this item are not available - Windows 7 Help Forums
but when trying to add the .reg file, i got the message
ERROR ACCESSING THE REGISTRY
So I thought to myself, I didn't have this problem yesterday, and I checked system restore, and I saw that I had a restore point created yesterday, after windows updated. But, I have this problem...
I was able to do the system restore after all. But, it did not fix my problem.
If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to have to reformat my hard drive.
Thanks in advance!
