Cannot open. Files EXE in Windows 7

I recently updated my computer to IE 9 to 11 of the EI. When I try to download the drivers for my printer online, it does not open .exe files. Some .exe files can open, but there are some of them who cannot open. I tried to reset, but has not changed. Please help me as soon as POSSIBLE!

Best regards

Sherwin

I already found the solution because some of the files are read as a .exe file when it downloaded programs including, but not limited to Google Chrome, QuickTime, Lenovo a recovery key, etc.. However, I hope this Lexmark S515 download reads not the .exe and I have to put a .exe at the end of the file to read in an .exe file because IE 11 it is not read correctly, but thank you to those who responded with solutions to this problem.

  • Cannot open files *.exe - error message

    Deleted.

    Hello jbautista83,

    I'm sorry that I did not understand your question correctly. Read the article below for Windows XP that cannot open .exe files. This means to make a change in the registry.

    Article number: 555067 - cannot open EXE files
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555067

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    Thank you

  • Cannot open files exe, even in safe mode

    My computer worked fine until last night. When I went today to my Ad-Aware Pro detected several attempts to change the registry. I wasn't sure what they were thus blocked. Now part of Ad-Aware Ad-Watch will not load and I can't open any .exe files at all, he said that there is no program associated with this action and to create in folder options. My Windows Explorer seems to be missing (the icon that launches in any case), and system restore no longer works (don't get the same message - no program etc...). I downloaded several anti-spyware scanners, but I can't run these either! When I restarted after having blocked attempts suspicious to change the registry, he stopped on the Welcome screen with a dialog box that has two small black lines in it, a close button (which does not), and an ok button. The boot process will not continue unless you click ok. It does now every time you start. Also, I booted in safe mode but nothing works, there either and I can't update my AV. in 'connect to the server' I tried the run box on the start menu to get the command prompt and that does not work either, I get the same message on there is no program etc... For a few icons I click that actually do something, they are all open Ad-Aware. It's my fault - probably the first time, he asked me to associate an icon with a program, I chose to apply it to all the files like this. Don't you think it's a virus?

    I have tried everything that suggests even joined a malware forum suggested, all to nothing done, because my system doesn't let me exercise one or more of the actions/suggestions/software. I'm admitting defeat guy - I'm going to rebuild, there is too much error different messages/things that aren't now doesn't work does not correctly that even if I fail to rid the system of the Malware, I'll probably still do more the top of page installation of XP to fix things. I don't have the patience.

    Thanks for everything and I'm sorry if you think I've wasted your time.

  • Cannot download files exe on Windows server

    I can not download exe on Firefox installed on Windows server 2003 files. I don't know that it's because of security Windows/IE "features." This does not work under Firefox 3.5, you can add a parameter to ignore these, but for some inexplicable reason with 3.6.
    Is it possible to force Firefox 3.6 to ignore the Windows/IE security settings? Otherwise, I'll need to come back to 3.5 or use IE.

    There are ways around it in Firefox 3.5 and Firefox 4, but not in Firefox 3.6. Firefox 3.6, you need to change the security settings in Internet Explorer - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737

  • Cannot open files (desktop programs) *.exe

    When I try to open .exe files I get a message error that says "this file doesn't have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options Control Panel. " I went to control panel > tools > folder options > file types and tried to put 'exe' to 'demand', but that doesn't seem to work. Funny enough, I am able to open other types of programs such as pictures, videos and files PDF and if I open a file html directly, I can open Firefox, but I can't open firefox.exe directly. I want to run an antivirus program or malware-check software, but of course, I can't open any .exe files.

    Cannot open the wmv on Windows 8 files.  Not supported?  It is a real job; real lost income.  Why am I being pointed on the app store. There's no solution.  My time is as valuable as the Member States.  I wouldn't have to search the Web for solutions to forced updates.

    Hi Elise,.

    1. are - this you facing problems of playing .wmv files by using a video application?

    2. are you able to play using Windows Media Player or other players?

    3. what exactly happen when you try to play the file?

    4. you receive messages or error codes?

    This problem can occur if the file is not supported by the player or because of missing codecs.

    If you use video app, then try using Windows Media player and see if you can read the file.

    If it points to the app store at the time wherever you play the file, then you may need a supported codec

  • Cannot open files on disk seagate desk top

    Cannot open files

    We do not have enough information about the problem to be able to give targeted aid.  What is an external USB drive?  You can see the files/folders through Windows Explorer?  You can access the properties of the files and you can validate that you (your user name) have permissions to open the files?  Can you copy, cut and paste the files in the desktop player?  You can move the files to another drive or to your main computer, and if you move them, they then open?  Were you ever able to open these files and, if so, what have you done since then that may have stopped that (changes in approval, changes to the user profile, installed software security of any kind,...)  Please answer these questions in a response do you (assuming that permissions instructions do not resolve your issue).

    It may be a permissions problem.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.
     
    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!
