• PDF print printer. Changed my color toners & now cannot print PDF files.

  I have a printer HP LaserJet CP1525nw color less than a year.  Have always been able to print PDF files. Changed my color toners & now cannot print PDF files. When I use the print icon, I have an option "save under" file.  Makes no difference if I save file or not, it doesn't print not (or place in the queue of the printer).  If I try to print the saved file, it does still not print.  I have not changed (knowingly) all my printer options.  H E L P!

• Cannot delete the file. 'trial' "impossible to find this element". It is neither located in C:\Users\master\desktop.

  I have a folder called test on my desk that I created to try the xcopy commands.  Anyone who has nothing to do with it.  I think that when I created the folder I could add a space somewhere in the file name.  He is currently empty that I deleted a word of her documents.

  However I can't remove it.   It says cannot delete the file. "Cannot find this item. It is neither located in C:\Users\master\desktop.  Have already tried to delete the file in safe mode but not no luck.  Also if I navigate to the path C:\Users\master\desktop folder is not there and I hid the displayed files.  If I right click a properties to create the size is 0bytes and created a modification dates are suppressed.  How can I delete the file?

• Cannot delete a file 'empty '.

  I recently downloaded a file and thought I had deleted. However, I managed to create a 0 byte file that appears on my desktop, appears in the file dir / x of order invites and still cannot be moved, renamed, or deleted. Windows reports, "failed to find this article. It is no longer in... ».

  My problem is similar to the "cannot delete illustrates file listed in the file Explorer Vista - does not exist?" thread. I tried several of the steps used in this situation, as the use of a third party file removal tool (KillBox) and also get into the command prompt and try Rd (filename) to remove. I also tried to use e/s (filename), but he kept reporting that "the directory name is incorrect.

  This file is also not protected, and I am logged on as administrator. Any thoughts?

  Hello MrMichael,

  Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  Try to start your PC in safe mode by following the steps below and see if you can delete that folder/file from there.

  How to start in safe MODE

  1. Restart your computer if it is running.
  2. Press the F8 key after your computer powers initially.
  3. Once you see the menu Advanced Startup Options , you can stop tapping.
  4. Up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
  5. Select Safe Mode with network and press enter.
  6. You should see loading drivers and then Please wait.
  7. You should then be on the Welcome screen.

• Cannot delete the file. Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

  Cannot delete the file.  Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

  I got this file from my friend got sent - is a word document, I had on their computer.  So I tried to use Disk Cleanup to delete temporary files, temporary internet files and files program downloaded.  Does not work.

  When I check the properties, there is no security tab so I can't transfer ownership in this way.

  I don't want to experiment using the way of the transfer of ownership command prompt as the name of the file is several sentences long.  I can't rename it either, of course.

  Windows 7, a week and I already have a stupid problem which has already lost an hour of my time.

  What I did was to create a Notepad file that was empty and saved in the same location as the file that won't go away.  Once registered.  I click with the right button on the new file and rename the exact name as the file problem.  Don't forget to change the file extension (ex: .doc)

  ex file problem: word.doc

  new file: word.doc

  as long as they match eachother exactly you should see the file problem disappear and once that's gone, you can delete the new file created.

• Cannot delete a file in windows 7. Indicates the specified file name is not valid or too long.

  Hello everyone, I'm pretty stuck here. I can't delete a file in windows 7 or any other do with it besides. Says "the specified file name is not valid or too long. It has a funny name [~ t] and no extension. The file type, say "file". The properties are all screwed looking with a mistake on the Security tab, a size of 0 k, is a Windows (c) \Windows\en-US.The other files in this folder appear normal. The computer seems to work very well without any obvious problems. The only problem is my anti-virus reports with a kind of syntax for the file error and indicates it cannot parse this file. I do not. I can't do a thing with it either. Cannot open, rename, move, delete, change passwords, properties, permissions, nothing. It may be necessary for a good part with 0kb. According to me, I want to just delete the thing. Please, anyone? Thanks in advance.

  Hey bud, I figured out how fix it earlier. I am so happy. I came to remember a command called chkdsk which worked very well for various issues, that I had since the construction of my old 2000 Professional machine. I think that one was my first NTFS system. I always liked how well he error correction. Seemed a lot better than the old scandisk. Low and behold, I tried and star ANISE, it is went through it, found this file almost from the beginning of the analysis and a few lines later, he said has been removed. Says something about the file being orphaned some time ago. It was a very bad child, that I tell you. I ran it in safe mode command prompt. I guess he would have done the same thing in the normal windows well, but I happened to be in safemode, when it came to me. I used the switch /f with her. Since the C:\ command prompt or any drive letter your operating system is selected, type CHKDSK/F if I remember although the f was to have it automatically CORRECT errors. I hope this info helps others with their file or disk problems. It seems that many people say they get mistakes and cannot delete various files here in these forums. Thanks Sandeep for answering me and try to help. It does not matter whether or not it was the fix, it takes time to post and your helping people learn to be it. The only thing that remains unanswered for me is actually the thing of the answer. I mean I can't say someone at - it really answered my question and do not count me? Maybe I should mark so that people will bother to read it and get the fix. HMMMM... I come back here some time later and see whats up.  SeeYou, EWOO

  Cannot open pdf files. "Acrobat cannot send a DDE command '.

  Thank you John. The problem has been resolved. I'm sure this has to do with changes of microsoft with one of their updates since I subscribe to Office 365.

  It seems that something has been added in the folder on the drive. I would recommend http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.htmluninstalling the program, running, removing any left over parts of the record player (this could be the problem), reboot and reinstall. If all goes well, that solved the problem. Future questions about the player, you should consider asking in the forum of reader, is not.

• Urgent to work: cannot display PDF files, I am told to accept non-existent "End User License Agreement" for Adobe Reader?

  Hello, I am truly grateful for everyone of help very urgent.  I cannot view PDF files, I'm using a mac update, safari and I says to accept non-existent "End User License Agreement", but when install adobe reader is never an option!

  Thank you very much!

  No, not at all. Similarly, Applications (in the Finder), start you Mac applications. In the latest versions of Mac OS, you can also use the launch pad, which does the same thing.

  If you think that it is which means 'open', or 'start' or 'run', it would be better, but the 'launch' is the official word from Apple.

  I feel so frustrated at the moment. It's my computer and my files and sometimes it says I don't have permission to delete or it is used when it is not because it is the first time I have connected the player via an ethernet cable.

  I don't know if he connection via ethernet cable makes a difference. I searched the net and cannot see messages about how to empty the things you cannot delete from the trash. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  Sorry, I'll try and be a little more specific. The I'm trying to delete files are video files and projects related to the soft of Adobe. When I try to delete the file, it indicates a specific folder with videos is in service. I did not open this file or folder for more than a year.
