access to syswow64

[ratsalad]

Hi,

I was trying to update the audio driver through the hardware update wizard but it

was denied access to the syswow64 folder.

I tried cacls "c:\windows\syswow64" /G system:F but it didn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

RS

ratsalad, looks like to me you have given the account 'system' permission. Are you running under it - suspect not? Are you using a user account with administrator privileges? Try your same command but use the name of the account your are running under. Enjoy, John.
