Problems accessing files in win2000

[lord_icon]

Monday I discovered that there were 21 / 9878 mp3s on my windows 2000 machine which wouldn't access as my user account, which doesn't have administrator access. So I logged in as the Administrator account and attempted to play the same files, and the problem was exactly the same. Winamp will enqueue the files, as they are there, but it cannot read the file at all, and so where the file info (size, etc.) comes up as "No File". So i went through My computer to the path, and tried double clicking the file and it gave me an error to the respect of "Access Violation. You May not have proper access rights or the file may be in use" (both of which were false). Most of the files which I downloaded have been in the past 2-3 months and i've been able to play them before. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

My system is as follows:
Processor: XP 1800+
Motherboard: GA-7VRXP
GFX Card: Asus v9280
Sound: SB Live 5.1
Network: 3Com TX-390 (or something like that)

Are you using NTFS on your drive? If so it might be a problem with security permissions thats built into NTFS. Maybe you can try copying the files to another directory that lets everyone have the read permission for all the files. To change NTFS permissions, right click the folder/file and select properties, then go to the security tab. Play with the permissions on there a while, see if that works.
