FreeCommander Forum

Just installed FreeCommander 2008.06 in a XP Pro 2MB RAM computer and I can not open any file. It can be a .exe, .txt .pdf etc file but I always get the same error message:

"Windows cannot access the specidfied device, path or file. You may not have the approriate permissions to access the item."

I can open the file without any problem in Windows Explorer or via xplorer2 lite.

Seems that I am the only one who is having this problem. Oh well.

Indeed is fc especially under XP very stable and reliable - i'm using fc and following the discussions here for a quite long time and never heard about such problems.

Have you tried a fresh install plus new download of the perhaps damaged installation file?

Just downloaded and installed a new copy and same thing. I then shutdown Online Armor my software firewall and bingo no more problem.

I do notice one very annoying problem. When am in one active window and go to Folder | Favorites and select a item the non active window changes to the directory in which FreeCommander is installed!!

The Favorite Folder can set both the active and inactive pane... if you only want the active folder set clear out the inactive field.
