• Cannot open file because Windows needs to know what program created the file

  After downloading some files when I try to open the file, I get the message cannot open the file, windows needs to know what program created the file.

  Any suggestions?

  Perhaps no program has been assigned to this file format and so you cannot open these files.
  I put t know which files you downloaded, but you can choose an application installed that can open these files.

  Right click the file and I have to then choose open with.
  Then, you could choose the program you want to use.

• Cannot open files with Windows XP 5.1 and Explorer 8.0 .dot

  Recently, I tried to open a small graphics ending in .dot file.  I have quoted me a Windows XP page with several options.  I selected the option to use quickdrivers.com which eventually took me to the Regwork Software menu.  She provided a scan of my XP files disclosing several registry errors.  How to proceed?  Is this 3rd viable third party software that will allow me to open .dot files.  Or is there another recommended software?  Advisor.

  It very much looks like your computer is infected. You must be proactive and run now:

  Regarding the .dot file, this is not a graphic file. A .dot file is a MS Word template file.

  You do not want to use the scanners to register at all.

• 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.

• 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!

  original title: config file error could not open the file column line 0 0

  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

• '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.

• Why cannot open itunes with windows 10

  Why cannot open iTunes with windows 10

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. (Yes, I see that you've done that but maybe not the specific deletions which are mentioned).

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  See also install missing components in case the installation of a component at a time is successful.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.
