• Cannot open files or programs, error: Windows needs to know what program to use.

  Original title: I can't open any programs.

  Today, I tried to free up space for some games, I tried to download. In the Remove Programs process I must have learned something really important. Now, all of the icons on the desktop are white and I can't open anything. None of the programs, folders, files, photos. The pop up according to open this file, windows needs to know what program to use. It does give me an option to choose a program and I can't open my internet browser unless I have to go through some point average round through my control panel. If there is a way to solve this problem, it would be really useful. I think that the computer uses Windows Xp.Thank you

  When I tried to open the bought one of the files with Adobe Reader purchase ebook, he said

  Adobe Reader could not open ' URLlink (2) .acsm ' because it is not a type of supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded).

  Adobe Reader can open PDF files; for the .acsm file, you need Adobe Digital Editions.

• .Pst files corrupted due to wrong trying to open it with Adobe Reader

  This is a second post about the same problem, as previously, I had only one response (from b. from), who asked me to identify my operating system. I am beyond desperate to get this problem fixed.

  As described previously (S giraffe - 11/14), I was about to apply a recovery program of electronic mail to some .pst files when, somehow (late at night / tired), I clicked by mistake on 'open with Adobe Reader. Then the disaster! The Adobe Reader logo appeared on the .pst file icon - and also on all other files in the My Documents folder .pst. When I tried to open them I got the following error message:

  "Adobe Reader could not open '.pst Outlook (_)' because it is not a type of file supported or because the file has been damaged."

  I went back to my drive hard new exernal decompress the original backup files, but these, too, all of them had the logo of Adobe Reader on their icons and brought the same error message. How could try to open a file .pst with Adobe Reader have affected each other .pst on my C drive and in my external hard disk file?

  I need to retrieve my emails and contacts! Can anyone tell me anything that allow me to fix everything that makes the Adobe Reader for my .pst files and bring them back to their previous state. I would be extremely grateful.

  Adobe Reader 'did not' something to your PST file, but you have probably changed the file association by leaving "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" checked.

  What you need to do is to reset the file of Adobe Reader software association and for example replace SCANPST. EXE

  If you have a recent system restore (before changing the file association), the restore save point point.  If not, you must manually change (be it in the registry, or by opening the file with SCANPST PST. EXE and again always check 'using the program selected... '. ».

• 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!

• PDF not always opens I have Adobe Reader DC when printing a PDF printer

  PDF does not open always in Adobe Reader MS when printing a PDF printer. (Version 2015.009.20079)

  It seems that the question is more common when CD is opened in the first place.

  Turn off the display tabbed does not help.

  This happening in our environment Citrix using Xenapp 6.5 on Windows server 2008 R2 when printing from Adobe PDF, PDFCreator, or another tool to print PDF.

  It seems that there is a problem with the RdrCEF.exe file. When you rename the file solves the problem.

• '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 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.

  I am running Windows XP SP3 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Before you answer, please note the specific language in my error message. I want to emphasize that this link does not solve my problem. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837334.

  Hello

  Was the HP works well before game console? If Yes, then do you remember any hardware/software changes, after which the problem started?

  Method 1: I would say you put the computer to boot and then check if the problem is caused by any third-party application.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  Method 2: I would say as you uninstall and reinstall the HP game console and check to see if it helps:

  Uninstall or change a program
