• Can't open downloaded files, and I'm not able to view the items in the downloaded files.

  -Very well, every time I download a file can't open it and I view the files it contains. Say I have download a mixtape from a Web site. When it is done and get in my downloads folder, the file type is one of my programs and I can't view the contents of the downloaded file.

  Hi Ryan,

  (a) what web browser do you use?

  (b) have you been able to open this type of file before? You get a specific error message?

  (c) does it happen with every file download or it?

  Please provide the information above to understand the question better; the following steps are worth a try:

  Downloaded file is possibly corrupted. In this case, you will not be able to open it. Download the file again. That might solve the problem.

  Security software may be blocking or impeding the file to open, first of all, let us disable the security software and test

  Step 1: Disable security software, follow the steps mentioned below

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Important: Activate security software once everything is done.

  Step 2: Download the file to a different location (on the desktop) and test

  Step 3: You can uninstall and reinstall the program that opens this file type.

  Note: You can check with the manufacturer of program for ways to reinstall and activate the software.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• I can not open/download files attached on all sites

  IM', unable to open/download attachments from various sites IE extensions of Hotmail and Centrelink. Very frustrating, even if I can do it on my other PC! I'm missing something here?

  Hello

  1. were you able to open/download the files attached successfully earlier?

  2. what happens when you try to open or download attachments?

  3. do you get any error code or error message?

  4. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  5 is this problem confined to specific files or all files?

  6. what browser you use to download/open the attachments?

  If you use Internet Explorer, then I you suggest to disable add-ons, then try to download and extract.

  Follow the steps to disable add-ons:

  a. open Internet Explorer

  b. press the ALT key, and then click Tools.

  c. click on Manage Add-ons.

  d. disable add-ons by clicking on them one at a time to highlight and then click Disable.

  Note: to re-enable the modules one by one and check with what add-on, you get this error message. Disable Add-ons will not cause any problem.

  If disabling add0one did not help, then it would be better to post the same question in Windows Live Hotmail forums to get help.

• I can't open pdf files in firefox, and I tried all the solutions proposed by others. How can I reactivate pdf in firefox?

  I have recently switched to Firefox to Google Chrome, and I find that I can't open all PDFs from the web in some way in Firefox. I can't download them and open them in Adobe Reader and I can't preview them in Firefox, or I can use the plugin from Adobe. I tried to use the solutions posed by users on this site, but none of them have worked. Whenever I have an amendment to the settings to try to resolve this problem, change never allows me to view the pdf file, and the setting reverts to the previous setting after the browser is restarted. I don't like how to display the file, but I need to be be able to see a preview or I need to be able to download it.

  I use an adobe download add-on, 3.0.0.2, and I have disabled. Now, I can actually open pdf files in my browser shows a preview, or download them as I see fit. Thank you!

  But clearly, there is an error with the add-on.

• Satellite Pro P300 - after Truesuite update I can't open protected files

  Hello
  Sorry for my bad English, but I came to Italy, and here we do not have any forum that can solve my problem.

  I have a Toshiba laptop pro P300 with fingerprint reader. I use fingerprints to log and protect certain files, simply out of curiosity, he seemed cool...: |
  The problem was born while I recently updated "truesuite access manager. Since I did the update I can not open protected files, I have not read that I have to remove the protection before the update (damn...), but these files are important to me and I have to reopen them.

  To solve the problem at all first I restore the system prior to the update to have the old version and open these files again, but my fingers are deleted and I can not create new prints because the pc said "could not open the sensor. I don't know what that means.
  I thought he needs some drivers, so I reinstalled truesuite Manager to access, several times, I reinstalled the BIOS, I did the scan of the drive and the diagnosis of toshiba, but the sensor still does not work.

  I think that if I can record a fingerprint with the old version of the program I will be protected able to open files again (and I will no longer protect them) because only the old version of the program knows how to decrypt these files, but I do not know how to enable the fingerprint sensor. Could someone help me, please?
  Thank you very much!

  The update of Truesuite comes WindowsUpdate? Or did you download the update from the Web from Toshiba site?

  You can use your backup password (usually its your Windows password) to access the files?

• How can I open the file ASHX on Vista 64 - bit PC

  I downloaded an ASHX file on the internet and my PC Vistia 64 bit does not recognize.  How can I open the file?

  Hello

  File with the extension to ASHX file is an ASP.NET Web Manager.

  ASHX files are files used with the ASP.NET programming and can be opened with any program code in ASP.NET (like Microsoft Visual Web Developer). ASHX files are not intended to be read or opened by the browser. If you have downloaded a file ASHX and expecting that it contains information (such as a document or other recorded data), it is likely that something is wrong with the website and instead of generating usable information, she provided this file server instead.

  You can search on the Internet a program that can open this file.

  Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Important:  Take great care when opening file formats executable received in e-mail or downloaded from Web sites, that you are not familiar with as it could cause damage to your computer.
