windows error msg

Question

I have recently received an error msg stating: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permission to access them." because of this I could not open any app on my pc. I am running windows 7 ultimate. When I allowed window to run in safe mode I was looking for the Windows Repair recovery command but it did not appear. After many attempts using ctrl+F8 and ctrl+f11 I finally got the command back. Is there a better way of obtaining this command? Also, it did fix my problem but I don't know why it happened in the first place. All I can think of is the beta program of ZoneAlarm Extreme that I installed on my pc 2 days prior. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

Hello,

The Windows Desktop Perfmon and Diagnostic tools forum is to discuss performance monitor (perfmon), resource monitor (resmon), and task manager, focusing on HOW-TO, Errors/Problems, and usage scenarios.

Since your post is off-topic, I am moving it to the off topic forum.

Hello,

This should have been asked in the Windows 7 forum on Microsoft Community.
