Trouble Receiving Files by rollercola on 02-05-2010 at 06:17 PM

Hi,

I was being sent some files from my friends the other day and a message came up saying

"Could not find this item.

This item is no longer located in "C:\******* etc.  Please verify the items location and try again"


I'm running Vista on a Dell Inspiron 1525 if that helps

Thanks in advance

Is it possible that the files were blocked/removed by anti-virus software?  Were the zips or exes?

How were you trying to access them?

Did the file transfer properly?

Can you show a screenshot of what happens?

Hi. Someone else was getting the same error message when deleting files, which may be a result of having too many programs open and not enough RAM (memory).

It's worth trying to close unused programs, however I doubt it'll fix it because you're not trying to delete the files like the other person.

Check to see if you have enough free space on your hard drive.

The only other logical reason would be a program blocking it, as djdannyp suggested. Try disabling McAffee, see if that fixes it.
