Cannot open files from a disk

original title: I received a DVD of an ebay seller with files jpg and pdf to this topic.  My XP Home Edition with service pak 3 do not read the files.  Is there and upgrade?

My original disk Windows XP Home Edition is service pak 2.  I upgraded to service pak 3.  He still won't open the files to a disc that I got from an ebay seller.  One of my friends has an XP system that came as service pak 3 and it will open the files.  Windows 7 systems open the files normally.

Y at - it my version of XP Home upgrade that will allow him to open the files?  I read on a BitLocker on Windows 7 feature that is probably causing the problem.

Nothing to do with BitLocker

Copy the files to your hard drive, make sure you read only is off, then try to open

  • 'Cannot open file because the disk is not available' Mac

    I recently changed the selection of Photoshop (CS6) Scratch disk to the boot drive by default to one of the other internal drives in my MacPro (OS 10.6.8).

    When I restart Photoshop (CS6) I get the message:

    "Cannot open file because the disk is not available"

    and Photoshop will not start.

    I then restart Photoshop with 'Control - alt - shift' keys

    (suggestion to <http://forums.adobe.com/message/3937003>)

    and reset preferences that allows Photoshop to return.

    (Reset preferences returned the boot drive to drive work status.)

    I have an another MacPro, the - same 10.6.8 OS and Adobe CS6 - and I don't have this problem of allocation of work disk.

    What happens with a MacPro which prevents me from selecting one drive other than the boot drive working Photoshop

    Probably a permission problem.  Run the Apple disk utility to repair permissions.  If this does not work the glance to the non bootable drive and check "Ignore permissions..."  Open the window Info Finder and it came inside.

  • Cannot open file from the file Explorer, if the player is already open.

    All our PC (Windows 7 64 Pro; AD domain) got the last reader app.

    Since then, we are unable to open a PDF from File Explorer if the player is already running.

    All our machines experiment the same problem. Can anyone help? Thank you.

    No, it wasn't any error message. Just file does not open.

    Fortunately I was able to find the fix by myself: uncheck the checkbox in the settings of the security drive (improved)-> enable safe_mode at startup. Once this is done, the PDF files can be opened even if the drive is already managing a PDF document.

    Version is: 15.010.20059.40980 (French)

    I was very disappointed not to find any help on this issue in the forums, in Google, and worst of all, no offer support (support same paid) for this kind of problem from Adobe.

  • Problem of Raw camera [cannot open files from Nikon D610 Raw in CS5]

    Just bought Nikon D610 and trying to open raw images in Adobe Camera Raw I get this message: "the Photoshop Camera Raw plugin did not recognize the format of the files of 1 or more."  If these files are a camera, you may need to update your version of the plug-in in Photoshop Camera Raw.  I am currently using Photoshop CS5.  I have not had any problems with my Nikon D300.  Thanks in advance for any help!  Desperate!

    Devices supported by Adobe Camera Raw

    Camera Raw plugin and Adobe application compatibility

    RAW files are different for each camera brand and model. New cameras hit the market, Adobe needs to update the Camera Raw plugin used by Photoshop to read Raw files. It's a story without end of perpetual updates.

    The D610 is supported in Camera Raw 8.3 and later versions which is compatible with both CS6 and Cloud. CS5 will never be able to open these Raw files.

    The D300 is supported in Camera Raw 4.3 or later version which is compatible with CS3 and later. Therefore, you can open these files Raw in CS5.

    Your options:

    1. Join the cloud, or
    2. Upgrade to CS6 (obsolete software.) Not recommended), or
    3. Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert batch all the D610 Raw files to DNG format, and then change the DNG files in CS5. An extra step for you, but no extra costs.

  • 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!

  • 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.

    Right-click on the file itself before you open it.

  • 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.
