Check your file and directory ownerships (if you're running this on a Linux box). I'm sure Windows must have some kind of permissions set up now as well, but it's been so long ago that I dumped Windows that I've forgotten. The last Windows that I installed for my own use was Windows 2000 (did that even have any permissions capabilities?)
Win2K had permissions AKA Access control lists.

I would also suggest the OP check his antivirus/antimalware software as I've seen too many cases recently where that has been the cause for access errors in locations which should be accessible.
