Problem opening a file

[IndustrialMuzak]

When I place a disc in my drive and it loads up I recieve an error message, as follows;

Problem opening "C:\\E\LOCALS~1\Temp".

-34

However, when I click 'OK' the media on the disc loads up and plays fine [it's a CD with a music video on, if that's of any help]. I was just wondering what this means, and if anyone can help me sort it out, so it doesn't pop up all the time.

Cheers

Problem opening "C:\\E\LOCALS~1\Temp".

-34

"LOCALS~1\" refers to the "Local Settings" folder which, the correct path for, is the following:

"C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings"

Try to recreate the error message and let us know whether it really does say "C:\\E\LOCALS~1\".

Also, the "-34", is that included with the error message or did your cat happen to step on the keyboard?

Cheers,

That is exactly what the error message says. Including the -34 bit, that confused me greatly. E being the username of the PC.

That filepath is wrong. Right-Click on My Computer, Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables > here you see the variable TEMP, what does the value next to it say?

[IndustrialMuzak]

for the one marked TEMP it is;

C:\Documents and Settings\E\Local Settings\Temp

there's another one in that box too, calling itself 'TMP', with exactly the same value

Then

"C:\\E\LOCALS~1\Temp"

should be

"C:\DOCUM~1\E\LOCALS~1\Temp"

Sounds like whatever windows thinks should launch is being looked for in 'C:\\E\LOCALS~1\Temp', being an invalid path it can't find it. Search your registry for that value and see where it is located and for what program.
