  • Cannot open DOC files that are sent to me. I have wordpad and Notepad on my computer but you do not have Microsoft Office

    original title: DOC files

    Cannot open DOC files that are sent to me. I have wordpad and Notepad on my computer but you do not have Microsoft Office. Most of the time, I get a screen that says 'open' or 'save' the file and when I click on 'Open', this message disappears. Sometimes it opens, but the message is completely scrambled with letters and symbols.

    Cannot open DOC files in wordpad or Notepad. you will need a more advanced software suite. Try OpenOffice.org - it's free, and it supports the DOC format. But the best solution is to get Microsoft Office once and for all.

    Download OpenOffice.org: http://download.openoffice.org/contribute.html?download=mirrorbrain&files/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Win_x86_install-wJRE_en-US.exe.

  • Cannot open a file that it created CS6

    I have some files created in and saved by CS6 (in JPEG format) that it cannot re - open. (Next day, no update or anything else.)

    The message says:

    "Could not complete your request because it is a type of marker JPEG unknown or not valid."

    How Photoshop can create a file, it can not read?

    More importantly, how avoid this in the future?

    Hello

    This problem is usually caused by saving a file with an extension that does not match its actual size. For example, the screenshot below, I've changed manually the extension marker in the field record under .jpg but drop Format indicates that the file will be saved in the Photoshop .psd format.

    Below are directions to check if your issue is due to formats (I use Mac, but you can find indications of PC here) and markers of file do not match.

    1. find the file you get the error message. Right-click on the file and select information.

    2 confirm that you have an incompatible file format and marker. As you can see, name and extension my file see 'circle.jpg' but the file type is an Adobe Photoshop file. The same question could be if applied to other format combinations do not match, not just jpg/psd.

    3 to fix this, simply type the file extension that corresponds to the file type - in my case, I replaced circle.jpg in the name and Extension field with circle.psd.

    You should now be able to open your file with Photoshop and re - save the image in JPEG format. To avoid this problem doesn't happen in the future, always make sure that when you go to file > save under you remove or change the file extension in the field save slot, and the extension corresponding to the file format selected.

    If you have any questions, or if it has not addressed the problem, please feel free to post a reply. In addition, , This is a very comprehensive article on other reasons that this problem could occur and how to fix it.

    1. You did changes to the computer before the show?
    2. What version of web browser work?

    You can temporarily disable the antivirus software, and then try to install programs, and also try to open .exe files to check if that helps.

    Check the link for more information.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    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

    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.
    2. Start Windows Explorer.
    3. In Windows Explorer, click to select the drive for the Windows Vista installation disc.
    4. On the Edit menu, click select all.
    5. On the Edit menu, click copy.
    6. Click to select the hard disk you want to contain the flat installation files.
    7. On the file menu, point to new, click the folder, type Windows Vista Setupand then press ENTER.
    8. Double-click the Windows Vista Setup program, and then click Paste on the Edit menu.
    9. Double-click Setup.exe, and then follow the instructions that appear.

    See the link below for more information on flat installation.

  • "Extraction failure: cannot open output file" error message when installing new drivers

    Hello, I am trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 printer.  I downloaded the complete drivers of features for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:

    Extraction failed

    Cannot open output file

    And the process ends.  He arrived at about 85% extraction every time.

    No idea why?  I called HP, but no longer under warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - not even give me basic support?  Poor, poor customer service.

    Hi GIJeff12,

    Temporarily disable any AntiVirus/Antispyware software.

    Cut the installer on your desktop then click on the Start Menu, click computer, double-click on the C: drive and paste the installler here.  Now try a right click on the installer for your printer, choose 7-Zip and choose Extract the files, and then click Ok.  If the installation program extracts now correctly, follow these steps.  If it does not extract, let me know.

    Disconnect your printer from the PC.  Restart your PC.

    Open the newly extracted folder and double-click the setup application to start the installation (the installation application will probably have the same icon as the original installation software that you downloaded).  Connect the printer to your computer when you are asked.

    If it was a success, re - enable your security software.

    Best wishes
