8 64-bit Windows cannot open chm files
Hello
- HHReg using asks to move the MaxAllowedZone to 2 (which I don't expect to have an effect since it is the LOCAL files that don't work)
- HHReg application using Add the path to the .chm for the UrlAllowList entry file.
The only thing that worked for me was to uncheck "always ask... at the opening of this file... "When you first open the file. Subsequently, the popup no longer appears, and you can read the content of the CHM file.

After clicking on link get "Windows cannot open this file" have to manually "selecta program programs installed" Firefox appears as a choice and I double-click. How can I solve this problem / eliminate these extra steps
? Thank you Joe
I am running Windows XP, MS office Outlook 2007Is it a link in an e-mail message in Outlook? This problem arises from time to time.
While Firefox can usually set himself as the proper application to open the URL, you click in other programs, settings are sometimes blur or do not take. This article has tips to solve this problem: setting Firefox as the default browser does not work - what to do. Anything there help?
If the problem persists, is there something special about how you start Firefox? For example, you have this launch in a security 'sandbox' or virtual machine? You have all the command-line options set to allow several simultaneous sessions of Firefox, or call the Profile Manager? If none of this sounds familiar to you, the answer is probably not.

I get a message saying "Windows cannot open the file...". »
I had a lot of problems with infections, so I was running many scanning programs.
After getting my computer almost completely cleaned, I ran the Super Anti-Spyware program. We find 3 infections, which I'd delete (I don't have no way of knowing that I removed).
Since then, whenever I try to open a program, or even Windows Update, etc., I get a message saying:
"Windows cannot open the file. To open this file, Windows needs to know what kind of program has created. Windows can go online to search automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs.
When I go on the web, I get a lot of options, which are almost free scans that then charge for fixing. I am also very scared that I can also get another infection from these sites.
I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

Yes, each method is a set of measures to try and then go ahead and try each one separate.
2 method will reset the executable (.exe) extension that will allow you to open programs. It is not clear what exactly you are trying to open so that it can have no effect.
Keep in mind that the damage caused by malware can be irreversible, in the case of relocations are necessary.

Error message - Windows cannot open this file after downloading program
After several days in offline mode, I went online to update Microsoft Security Essentials and click on analysis complete. It took an hour. After that, I found that all my programs were virgins, almost of all of the standard microsoft Microsoft Security Essentials is. I tried to download it again, plus others such as adobe acrobat, but all said "windows cannot open this file". I asked help from Microsoft but received access denied. I feel like an illegal immigrant, as all the doors were closed. What does that mean? My OS would be illegal? It is Windows XP and was purchased new in the retail price in 2004 and has only once been out of my hands when I sent it repairs and have 2 GB ram added. Any ideas?

IM TRYING to re - INSTALL WINDOWS VISTA ON MY T-6321 to the front door, BUT WHEN I INSERT THE DISC, AND INSTALL, a MESSAGE APPEARS SAYING: WINDOWS cannot OPEN THE FILE D:\Sources\Install.wim REQUIERED. Make sure that all required files for installation aare available and restart the installation. Error code: 0x8007000D, SHOULD ALL BE ON THE DISCALREADY?
Hi JRCLNSIN100,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.
We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.
· What is the disk you use to reinstall?
· Is this a recovery or reinstalling the disc you are using?
· When exactly do you get this error message?
· What is the edition of Windows Vista, you try to install?
· How old is the drive that you are using?
· How are you starting the installation process?
After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.
First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.
To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.
To perform a flat installation of Windows Vista, follow these steps.
Note The hard disk must have at least 3 GB of free space on the disk for the Windows Vista installation files. The hard disk must have at least 15 GB of additional disk space to install Windows Vista. For more information about system requirements for Windows Vista, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/editions/SystemRequirements.mspx
- Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.
- Start Windows Explorer.
- In Windows Explorer, click to select the drive for the Windows Vista installation disc.
- On the Edit menu, click select all.
- On the Edit menu, click copy.
- Click to select the hard disk you want to contain the flat installation files.
- On the file menu, point to new, click the folder, type Windows Vista Setupand then press ENTER.
- Double-click the Windows Vista Setup program, and then click Paste on the Edit menu.
- Double-click Setup.exe, and then follow the instructions that appear.
See the link below for more information on flat installation.

This problem can also occur if the firmware of the DVD drive is defective or obsolete.
If the step above does not resolve the question suggests that you install the latest drivers for the DVD player on the computer.

Hello
Method 1
JSON is a java file. or JavaScript Object Notation, is an open standard based on text designed for the exchange of human readable data. It is derived from the JavaScript scripting language to represent associative arrays, and simple data structures called objects. Despite his relationship with JavaScript, it is independent of the language, with parsers available for many languages.If you want to open. You must have Java installed on your computer the JSON file. If you have java installed on the computer I suggest you to try the steps from the following link:
