No Looking Backwards: Technical Support Fail

Just picked up a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculator. I'll give you one guess as to what error message keeps popping up when I attempt to transfer applications from my laptop to the calculator via TI's TI Connect software.

I bought a TI-84 calculator last month and put a couple programs on but today something weird happened. Whenever I try to put any programs on using TI Connect it says access denied error code 80070005. I cant put any programs or applications at all! I have plenty of space and reinstalled TI connect. I even took all the batteries out and nothings working! I contacted TI from their web site and havent gotten a reply yet. Can anyone help me?

bleepingcomputer.com (February 2008):

I have a windows 2000 with TI connect installed, and I can't transfer stuff to the TI84+ calculator. At first, it detects the calculator, but later, it says there's not connection. Also, by that time, the windows thing usually says 'found new hardware' and prompts to install. does that have anything to do with it? but i want to backup the stuff on my calculator, and it won't let me.

[...]

Also, sometimes, I get messages such as "A retry may be successful (8C010000)" and also, "Access is denied (80070005)"

Help with my TI 84: Transferring Programs to my computer?
Okay. So when i attempt to transfer programs from the calculator to my computer, i get this error message: "Transfer Status: Access is denied. (80070005)". I have no clue what those numbers mean, and i have no idea why the access is denied (I've run the program with admin privileges with no help). My OS version is 2.4, and my calculator's free RAM is 1000 something. Someone please help?

How do you install apps on a TI-84 Plus graphing calculator using TI Connect?

Whenever I try to do these things, it says "Access is denied." :(

And, what does Texas Instruments have to say on their oh-so helpful "Knowledge Base" website?

The error "Access Denied" indicates that the TI-Connect software could not complete the current transfer due to an unforeseen error. Please try the following troubleshooting steps if the error persists.

Yeah, let me know when this becomes a foreseen error.

No rush.
