Cannot change 'Open with' binding for webloc files

Since Friday, I can't change the bindings from the webloc files. It was (by default) Firefox, now it's "Simulator (Watch) .app" as shown below:

Also, as shown in the previous picture, sometimes some files are selected to be opened by another application (either Safari.app either Simulator.app but never Firefox). This behavior changes each time I have reset the launch Services database.

When I try to change the default link back to Firefox, I had two error messages. The first says:

Then, when I press OK, I get this redundant error message:

All the webloc files I checked read permissions in writing for me and read permission for the rest. This problem occurs with the former "webloc" links as well as newly created (as in the example above). In addition, for some reason, all the webloc files now have "hide extension" selected in the Info Panel (again Finder shows the extension).

I tried to reset the launch Services database by using the following command:

/System/Library/frameworks/CoreServices.Framework/versions/A/frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister-tuer - r-domain local - domain-domain user system; Killall Finder

It changed nothing.

I only have this problem with the webloc files, I have no problem changing the default binding to other types of files.

Any suggestion?

What happens if do change in the preferences of the browsers.

    The computer is running fine all yesterday and has worked very well since just after the new year when he has been upgraded to Windows 7. No material changes have been made, and no software changes were made by users in the course of last week.

    The computer is an AMD Athlon II X 4 with 4 GB of RAM on a motherboard Asus M4A78-EM, linking a 64 GB SSD, with a 250 GB drive SATA data/programs. GPU is a Nvidia 260, and it has a CD and DVD player as well. It is connected to our router using the gigabit ethernet interface motherboards.

    It was under windows 32 - bit XP SP3 up just after the new year. When we put in place the new SSD to replace a hard drive older than we have did a new install of XP (slipstreamed with SP3) and then used the upgrade 32-bit W7 Home premium DVD version to upgrade the system. Since then, the system runs flawlessley.

    On the machine is MS office XP, Firefox 3.6.3, AVG 8.5 and a few games such as the Turbine DDO.

    The main user account used to try to solve these problems and to run Windows Update and try installing programs is a member of the Administrators group.

    Firefox works fine, serve, and he plays the games installed very well also. AVG reports to date, with no problems and has detected no threat.

    However, try to view the registry with regedit, or start Viewer event or compmgmt.msc that all do appear the message "cannot verify the digital signature.

    Can anyone offer an opinion on what might be wrong with this facility please, and how we could do to solve?

    Cannot run chkdsk/scandisk as he bought the message "cannot verify the digital signature" etc etc.

    This morning, the machine began to behave differently - stop playing back badly, refused to start Device Manager, open Control Panel correctly etc.

    So, I reset the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM, slapped XP SP3 in reinstalled, then upgraded to Win 7 again.

    Still have no idea what caused the problem, but it seems to be gone now - reinstalled the same applications, AV / programs anti-malware, games, etc and everything seems to go fine now.

    Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.

    * So what the hell is happening? Sorry, but am getting very frustrated by that. I noticed that windows creates a file called windows.old. Avoid the old windows, it's an empty hard disk, and it was an installation of full version. NOT an upgrade. As to why my product key does not work... not even me angry by publishing what I've seen elsewhere in these forums. I DO not pay another $200 for a different product key. This one should work. I just opened this "thing" to do the installation. So if this key was stolen, it was stolen that microsoft has packaged discs.

    Can I safely delete this file called windows.old (assuming that I can always go back to windows 7)? Do you think this has nothing to do with the problem? Or should I do what ppl do upgrades mean that they have to do... Reinstall win 7?
    * He let me use F8 for advanced options to disable the driver signature.

    Thank you! Got the product key problem is resolved. I saw on another post, you stated

    Now that address my other question as much as me have allowed difficulty delivers windows boot is seen? I see that windows 7 is a file boot.ini as previous versions of windows. I would like to see the "command-line" some win 7 has instead of boot.ini file uses. I suspect something may be there that causes the driver signature error... and tried the 'bootrec' methods above doesn't solve anything for me.

    Thanks a lot for your help in this matter. (Once I get the verify signature driver disabled it goes straight in win 7 and win 7 works fine.) It just will not be disabled whenever I start my pc. I always have to fight to get the window that gives me the ability to disable.)

    Using the last good known Configuration

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/using-last-known-good-configuration

    Method 2: I will suggest you to do material clean boot and check to see if you encounter the same problem.

    1. right click on my computer-> properties

    2 Hardware tab Device Manager->

    3. right click on the sound card, video card and NIC, one by one, then click on turn off

  • Cannot change the default program for opening .dll

    For some reason any, since I first linked the default program to open files .dll with Visual C++ 2010 Express (which is not truly attempt open, but instead of it gave me a message somewhere near the lines of "File not supported - Type does not open", incidentally) by chance I could not change since. I took a screenshot of the dialog box to try to change (URL below after all), but I noticed that the box was grayed out (the theme I have is a modified version of the classic Windows theme, but on 7, to clarify the operating system). I also tried to select a file after having hit the "Browse" button, but it didn't open anything. I tried several programs in the present to open, much less to change the default value (these are two notable examples): Netbeans - primarily an IDE for Java, but can open binary files even if she's not actually modify them (note: I changed absolutely nothing on any of them even if I has modified it to make it the default program but this problem affects more than just the ones) (, and it did not start until the last default) and Notepad. I went through the 'Open with' dialog box, and this is where I first encountered the problem of it (described above) outside the Control Panel, which it wouldn't let me change the association of file of it in particular, even if I didn't have one of these questions with any other type of file I tried to change, before or after this madness.

  • Accidentally activated always open with .n64 for Adobe

    I recently downloaded an emulator and when I was downloading some N64 roms I clicked always open with Adobe when I was trying to put for my emulator. Now my files .n64 save as pdf files and I can't change the file back extensions. I'm at a loss and super frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    You can resolve this problem by following the steps below:

    1. Open the folder that contains the file you want to edit.

    2. Right click on the file you want to change and then, depending on the type of file, either click Open with or point to open with, and then click on choose a default program. You will need to locate the N64 emulator and click on it, apply the changes and then click on 'OK '.

    3. Click the program you want to use to open the file.

    The opposite is:

    1. Right click on the file that you want to change, and then select the option "Properties". Look for 'opens with: and click the icon that says "Change...".
    2. If the N64 emulator is not in recommended programsor other list to other programs , then click on the "Browse" button and locate the correct program by browsing through the folders (or where the program has been installed).
    3. Click on 'accept' and who is willing to use the files again.

    Please let us know if that helps you solve the problem.

  • change the incoming fax for .tif files

    I'm faxes sent on my computer in .tiff format. The program I use to move faxes to records of patients needs to be in .tif format. Can I change this?

    I guess since you asked here in a Thunderbird support forum for these faxes come to you by e-mail and you use Thunderbird.
    Thunderbird offers just your mail. It has nothing to do with the naming of files.
    There is no difference between a .tif and a file .tiff except for the number of characters in the file extension. You can rename the file yourself if your system will not accept the 4-digit extension.
    You can always contact the sender and ask them to change the name before you send it.
