  Please help me!

  I have HP Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit. Cannot open .exe files. I get the error message by side configuration is incorrect. In the event log, it says error in manifest or policy file as a component version required by the application in conflict with one another component version already active. The two components are: c: Program Files\Viewer\Microsoft.VC80.CRT.MANIFEST.

  Problems arise when I deleted some files (don't remember which) I am now myself for kicks. Then I completely restored my system with a restore cd, upgrading to vista, downloaded all the updates and everything else works fine only problem is the opening of .exe files. Can someone please help? I'm no computer wiz only right following the indications :)

• "Information MS cannot open this file. The file may be corrupt or incompatible with this version of the information system. »

  Original title:

  MS Info

  I need to send a file Ms Info to Wb tech support so that they can help me with the game on steam download. Whenever they open the file it says it gives the following message "information MS cannot open this file. The file may be corrupt or incompatible with this version of the information system. "I tried to open it too and had the same error message how can I send a file not corrupted for them?

  Information MS cannot open this file.

  They should use Notepad to open the file when it is a txt file.

  Another way to create a portable system information file is to select the hotkey Win + R, type msinfo32 , and press ENTER . Click file, Save and name the file. This method creates a file with an extension of nfo file. Perhaps the recipient expects the file in this format.

  Hello

  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.

  I hope this helps!

• cannot open .exe files, add/remove files works do not (not too long on a computer far away)

  Help me Obi Kenobi won, you're my only hope. (Sorry, has.)

  I got a virus called XP 2010 antivirus, who kept asking me to buy their software. I did a security analysis of microsoft online, which didn't seem to help. I noticed that I am still unable to open wordpad, notepad, etc... Also unable to do a system restore (giving the window "choose the program you want to use to open this file. ("File: rstrui.exe").

  The same basic "choose program" window opens for almost everything on my computer, including Mozilla Firefox, all my antivirus software (including those suggested I download to fix this), add/remove programs, and I imagine many other programs just yet, I have to try.

  I tried to open "My computer" once and my computer to freeze to the origin. I once again and used ctrl alt del to see my process of and noticed a caled "cinemanowsvc.exe" process was running and associated with a software movie I got... so I told him to stop this process of visualization, and after doing so could open 'my computer '. I suspect that the virus may be in the cinemanow program and want to remove it... but I'm also not sure if this is my problem.

  A lot of the tabs on the lower bar, near the clock seem to be missing, and the computer seems to restart very slow... I have UBUNTU (almost Linux) on my hard drive that is partitioned and UBUNTU seems to have dropped the event.

  If you could help, that would be the most awesome of you!

  Note: I have also tried to open my software in safe mode, but I am unable to do so.

  It is difficult to tell exactly how much damage has been done to the system and whether or not it is worth trying to fix or start over.

  If it's just a matter of file associated with etc, then look at:

• Cannot open PDF files in the browser. I tried every fix mentioned and it still does not work!

  I have Windows XP. Using firefox as my browser. All of a sudden, I can't open the PDF files in the browser. I tried all the mentioned patches. Nothing works! Check the configuration of the plugin, checked the settings Adobe Reader.

  Is the problem that Firefox opens a blank tab, or that it requires you to download the file?

  I guess you tried switching spectators between the internal viewer and the Adobe plugin. If this article does not, steps: How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer. Sometimes behind switching will allow to correct an error in the settings file.

  You can rename or delete the settings file that stores these associations and have Firefox regenerate. If the file is corrupt, this could be the only option that works. Here's how:

  Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  Leave this window open, activate any Firefox window and quit the program (for example, the file menu > exit or Firefox menu > Exit)

  Pause while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to something like mimeTypes.old

  Restart Firefox. Your likely PDF preferences will be reset to the internal PDF Viewer, but you can activate the Adobe plugin as described in the above-linked article.

  Any improvement?
