A type of file has lost its association to open with Windows Explorer

On my machine the XP Acronis True Image Archive of backup .tib file type opens with Windows Explorer and I see in the details of the files in the backup.

On my machine the association used to be with Windows Explorer Vista, but recently the association has changed. I can't figure out how to restore it.

When it is correctly associated, I can read files in Windows Explorer, but no more.

When I right click on the file and select Properties, it gives me the ability to change opens with Adobe Reader, Internet Explorer, iTunes, Media Center, Notepad, paint, PowerDVD, RealPlayer, Windows Calendar, Windows Media Player, Windows Photo Gallery, Word Pad or browse...

I was hoping to go to Windows Explorer, but I was not able to find it. Is it in a folder hidden somewhere?

    Hello

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Method 1 : delete the file in safe mode and check if the problem is solved or not.

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

     Start your computer in SafeMode (Windows 7)

    Method 2 : perform the steps in the article and check if the problem is solved or not.

  • Windows cannot connect to the printer. The name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.

    A Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2 32-bit computer is a field, the file and print server.

    A computer on the domain is a machine of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit with HP DesignJet 500 24 printer connected via USB.  The printer is running the latest firmware.  The PC is running the latest 64-bit drivers with no problems to the host machine printing.  The host also has the latest drivers 32-bit (x 86) installed by downloading by other computers on the network.  The printer is configured to share with the share name of HPDJ500.

    Now, on a machine Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit on the field, I'm trying to connect to the shared printer.  Add a printer > click Next in the wizard of > check "a network printer or a printer attached to another computer" and then click Next > click on "Find a printer in the directory", then click Next > click Find now > HPDJ500 in the list below (the XP machine can see the shared printer on the Windows 7 computer!) and click OK.  At this point, I get an error that says: "Windows cannot connect to the printer.  The name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.  For more information, click Help. »

    Alternatively, if I right-click on the HPDJ500 printer listed, then click on connect, I get the same error message but I also see a separate window that says "Connecting to HPDJ500 on H2.ws.net" with the lively projector.  This window also disappears as soon as I clear the error message.

    Please note that this printer worked perfectly as a printer shared, hosted on a machine XP 32 bit on the field.  It works perfectly for the new Windows 7 64-bit machine, but we cannot connect from anywhere else on the network (including the server which translates the same exact error message).  On the server, I also preinstalled drivers thinking there was a problem with a 32-bit computer, trying to grasp the correct drivers from the host 64-bit Windows 7, but that doesn't change anything.

    How connect to this printer?

    Try using the path UNC path of the printer in the Add Printer Wizard.

    Add a printer > network printer > connection to this printer ((deuxieme point)

    Click next to browse (leave blank, the name field) or type the UNC path of the printer (i.e. \\Computername\Printername) path

    Hi NoPCgeek,
     
    1. what program do you use to read the file present on the CD?
    2. What is the format of the file present on the CD?
     
    Before playing the files on the CD, make sure you cross check if you have the right program installed on the computer. If you have not installed the right program, then we recommend you to install the program that supports the file type and use them to read the files on the CD.
     
    You can also change the default program to read this file. The program opens the file only if the file format is supported by the latter.
    See Change that uses default Windows programs

    I was able to make a recovery cd set too.  It will be just as good as if I he burned them on a new computer?  I mean can the data used to make these CDs get corrupted over time?  This laptop is 6 years old.

    Great, I can help you right now.  Just open your C:\Users\Peggy\Downloads folder.  While you're looking at him, make a right click on the file icon and choose 'Open with', then "Choose program" you can get the Notepad in the list.

    Here is an example. This example is Windows 7, so it seems a little different, but the steps are the same:

    1. Right click on the file
    2. Go to "open with".
    3. Choose "Notepad."  If Notepad is not listed, use the option "choose by default" to find Notepad instead.

    This will open the file for you to view the data inside.

    How to do would be to install the appropriate program to open attachments if it is not installed, if it is installed the easiest to set the association would be to save a copy of the file on the desktop, right-click and select "open with...". "in the context menu, and then select the appropriate program if it is shown in the dialog box or use search to find it if it is not.
