• Cannot open COM1. Please check your port settings, XP SP3

  Hello
  I have some XP SP3 workstations that are used in the factory.  The shell of charge is attached to COM1.  When I test the appliance to make sure that all devices work, the shell load test will not open COM1.  When I use HyperTerminal to test COM1, I get the message "cannot open COM1. Please check your port settings. "I checked the BIOS of a workstation and compare it to the non-working station.  Corresponding to all of the information correctly.  When I check property COM1 resources, the station problem looks identical to the right station and no conflicts.  IRQ 04 corresponds to the current setting.  To get the workstation resurfaced to open COM1, I open COM1 properties, resource tab, uncheck and then re-check "use automatic settings" with your status to uncheck.  After having double checked the "use automatic settings", I click OK.  I then go back to see what the parameters are.  He changed his IRQ 07.  This change works until the computer has been restarted , and then the following steps must be applied again.  Also, if I perform these same steps on a workstation, I get the same results with the change IRQ.  I don't have the problem with com except COM1 ports.  We use the software in a box.  Change to use another com port is not an option.

  Thank you

• Cannot open COM1. Please check your port settings

  I have some XP SP2 workstations that are used in the factory.  I use Clonezilla to reimage the workstations (Yes, we have valid licenses for all units) where you have to replace a hard drive or have warranty work that requires a new installation.  We have put arrangements in place on the specified comm ports.  The printer is connected to COM1.  When I test the appliance to make sure that all devices work, the test of the printer will not open COM1.  When I use Hyperterminal to test COM1, I get the message "cannot open COM1. Please check your port settings. "I checked the BIOS of a workstation and compare it to the non-working station.  Corresponding to all of the information correctly.  When I check property COM1 resources, the station problem looks identical to the right station and no conflicts.  IRQ 04 corresponds to the current setting.  To get the desktop put open COM1, I open COM1 properties, resource tab, uncheck and then re - check the box "Use automatic settings" without applying the Statute to uncheck.  After having double checked the "use automatic settings", I click OK.  I then go back to see what the parameters are.  He changed his IRQ 07.  This modification works until the computer has been restarted so the following steps must be applied again.  Also, if I perform these same steps on a workstation, I get the same results with the change IRQ.  I don't have the problem with comm except COM1 ports.  We use the software in a box.  Change to use a different comm port is not an option.

  It seems that the cloning process is causing the problem.  Clonezilla is fast and reliable with the exception of what seems to be a problem of comm port.  I'm looking for someone who can tell me what settings can I change to make COM1 to work without having to go through additional steps after the workstation is restarted.

  Thank you

• Cannot open mailboxes mailbox or call

  Cannot open yahoo or Sky inboxes or deal in them when I access it via Firefox.

  Also have the error message on Firefox that attempt to change my settings has been blocked. Cannot remove it.

  Today I received a suggestion from a lady at the MTBF Mozilla Helpdesk to the 00.31hours that it was a long link to a forum (I think) and a suggestion to download "AdwCleaner", what I've done. This has solved the problem and has removed my spam.

  Unfortunately, the Helpdesk form has disappeared from my computer, so I can't meet him to thank.

  Does anyone know the Helpdesk email address?

  Thank you.

  my browser cannot open google and facebook and other https sites that it does not open even the app store does not work, I tried to change my DNS google DNS and disable IPv6 but still no use, help PLZ!

  You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

  Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

  Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

  Step 1

  VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.

  Step 2

  When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

  /Library/LaunchDaemons

  In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

  There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

  Step 3

  In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:

  com Apple.something.plist

  When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.

  Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

  com Apple.builins.plist

  com Apple.cereng.plist

  com Apple.nysgar.plist

  There may be one or more items with a name of the form:

  com.something.plist

  Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.

  These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

  com.semifasciaUpd.plist

  com.ubuiling.plist

  Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:

  com.something .net - preferences.plist

  This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:

  com.jangly .net - preferences.plist

  Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

  Restart the computer and empty the trash.

  Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:

  com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist

  com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist

  com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist

  com Apple.aelwriter.plist

  com Apple.SERVERD.plist

  com Tether.plist

  The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.

  Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

  If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.

  If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.

  Step 4

  Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

  ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

  and click on

  Set on the current Page

  If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.

  The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

  Step 5

  The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.

  Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.

  Step 6

  This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

• Click on the link-get "Windows cannot open the file" select a program?

  After clicking on link get "Windows cannot open this file" have to manually "selecta program programs installed" Firefox appears as a choice and I double-click. How can I solve this problem / eliminate these extra steps
  ? Thank you Joe
  I am running Windows XP, MS office Outlook 2007

  Is it a link in an e-mail message in Outlook? This problem arises from time to time.

  While Firefox can usually set himself as the proper application to open the URL, you click in other programs, settings are sometimes blur or do not take. This article has tips to solve this problem: setting Firefox as the default browser does not work - what to do. Anything there help?

  If the problem persists, is there something special about how you start Firefox? For example, you have this launch in a security 'sandbox' or virtual machine? You have all the command-line options set to allow several simultaneous sessions of Firefox, or call the Profile Manager? If none of this sounds familiar to you, the answer is probably not.

• Error "cannot open file."

  I have problems with Pages 5.6.1 on my MBP. Everytime I try and open a project, or save a new one, I get a "cannot open file" error. "

  The files all work very well using iCloud web access and on another Mac and iPad but not on this one machine. Oddly, when I close the Pages and try to copy a file from disk to iCloud Pages on my Mac, I get the error message that says that the file is "updated".
  I've not yet deactivated and reactivated Pages in the player iCloud in system preferences settings - I wonder if someone could suggest an alternative.

• iPod touch will not got to some Web sites - "Safari cannot open the page because the network connection has been lost."

  Safari refuses to go to certain websites (facebook.com, youtube.com) on my iPod Touch and instead displays this error:

  S afari cannot open the page because the network connection has been lost.

  The bubble at the top where I typed in the URL doesn't change, it always says "facebook.com" or something else.

  No matter where I am, so it won't get fixed by resetting my home Wi - Fi router. Other sites load fine. I have reset the iPod, too, by pressing the sleep button and one on the front (whatever it's called) until I see the apple logo. I also did 'Story clear and data Web site' in the Safari settings.

  I searched the web and found a number of threads that start with similar complaints, but I can't find one where the problem has been resolved in fact.

  Thank you!

  Not "no matter where I am," means, it happens with all networks?

  If so:

  Try:

  -Reset the device iOS. Nothing will be lost

  Device iOS Reset: Hold down the On / Off button and the Home button at the same time for to

  ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  -Reset all settings

  Go to settings > general > Reset and tap reset all settings.

  All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as your contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) are not affected.

  -Restore from backup. See:

  Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

  -Restore factory settings/new iOS device.

  If still problem, make an appointment at an Apple store Genius Bar because it appears that you have a hardware problem.

  Sorry for the late reply, but I did not have access to the MS Web site for a few months.

  I tried your suggestions, they do not work.

  The resolution is to do a repair of the operating system out of the CD.  Who cleared up the problem.

• Only files tif over a certain length (60 characters): cannot open, delete, find, change of name or anything like that

  Only files tif over a certain length (60 characters):
  I cannot open/view the with any application, cannot be deleted and can not even the name of the file to allow me to try to shorten the name. I can't copy the files or move them from their current folder.  What is going on? These are files that I saved last year. (I don't remember if I tried to open them before.) My computer is a laptop HP DV 6000 series, Media Center Edition Windows XP with ServicePak 3.

  There is a fundamental limitation in Windows that the total length of a file, including the path name cannot exceed 255 characters.  It is possible that the total path to your .tif files is something long like:
  C:\Documents and utilisateur\Mes Photos\MySummerVacationLastYear\BigFileName.tif Settings\nom
  and the total number of characters in all of this is greater than 255.

  There are two ways you can deal with that.  Use the command "SUBST" alias drive letter to the folder that contains your files.  To do this, open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter a command such as (to borrow the above, for example):

  SUBST M: "C::\Documents and Settings\nom of utilisateur\Mes Photos\MySummerVacationLastYear.

  Where "M:" is a unused drive letter and the rest is the path to the folder that contains your files.  You can now access your file using:
  M:\BigFileName.tif
  Who have significantly fewer characters in the path of your original file and allow you to access.

  A second approach is to create a folder at the root of your hard drive (for example C:\Pics) and then copy your files into this folder.  Not just any copy program can handle long copy paths (as you have discovered), but can "Robocopy" (robust copy).  You can get Robocopy without the resource Windows Server 2003 on the Microsoft Download site Kit
     <>http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=17657 >
  After copying the files, it will be a much shorter and more accessible way.  Robocopy is a command line program and must be run from a command prompt window.
  Otherwise, you might be able to move the folder containing these images in this directory at root level.

• Cannot open my files money 2005 after replacing the hard drive

  Hi, I had to replace the hard drive in my computer and now I am unable to open my money (Version 2005) files. I get an error message indicating "Money cannot locate C:\~~~ or cannot open it, possibly because it is a read-only file or you are not allowed to change it or your hard drive, it is write protected etc.» I tried uninstalling and re-installing the money, but it has not solved the problem. The problem may be to do with the regional settings during installation of money, but when I re - install the money it is not giving me the option to set the perameters during the installation process for a reason any. My OS is XP Home edition Service Pack 3. How can I solve this problem?

  So your real problem is not that the files are missing or read-only, but that the money does not recognize the format the files are in.

  Even if you reinstalled Money, maybe you don't have also downloaded and installed some updates have been released for your version.  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320193:

  If you are using Microsoft Money 2005, and you receive this error message after you have reinstalled Money, the behavior may be caused by not having money is not all installed updates.

  See methods 4 and 5 in the article.

  If this does not help, Veritas Aquitas had the right answer: ask in the forum of the money:

I'm exausted out everywhere is going to fix this problem with no result other than buying something that I know can be done without. Thank you Robert K b.

  Hi Robert K B,.
   
  It seems that the file on your computer is corrupted, and the default program to open files is set to Adobe Reader.
   
  Method 1: As a first step of troubleshooting, you can uninstall Adobe Reader and check if the file associations are defined by default.
   
  Method 2:
  Once you uninstall Adobe on your computer, follow these steps to resolve the problem:
   

  a. Click Start, click Run, and type command

  b. type the following commands one by one:

  cd\windows
  Regedit

  c. If the Registry Editor opens successfully, then navigate to the following key:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ exefile-shell-open-command

  d. double-click the (default) value in the right pane.

  e. delete the current value data, and then type:

  "%1" %*
  (ie., quote-percent-one-quote-space-percent-asterisk.)

  f. navigate to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe

  • In the right pane, set (default) exefile

  g. quit the registry editor.

  Check if this helps you.
