About this tag
The tag inaccessibility on WindowsForum.com covers situations where users encounter barriers to accessing systems, files, or features. Common themes include network shares becoming inaccessible after a restart or after some time, as seen with Windows 7 and XP machines where shared drives fail to connect or disappear. Another recurring issue is software prompts that block access until dismissed, such as Facebook's notification request that makes the site inaccessible until a choice is made. Additionally, disk volumes can become inaccessible after a system crash or RAID rearrangement, leading to data loss. These threads focus on troubleshooting steps like rebooting, adjusting sharing settings, or addressing authentication errors to restore access.

    Windows 7 Random BSODs, different error codes, fun!

    Hi All I've been suffering from random BSOD's for a good while now (before I OC'd it, before you say anything :P) but they've recently gotten more and more common (1-3 in an evening), and it's getting a teensy bit annoying :P It started getting worse after I went from Vista to 7/XP in August...
