Cannot open pictures (jpg) in Windows 8 after restoring a backup of my old laptop to Windows 7. Permissions problem?

Using a WD 1 TB external hard drive and the WD software, I made a backup of my old computer with the intention of transferring pictures, documents, etc. to my new computer Windows 8.

Files backed up and I restored it selectively records my images on the new computer without error.

When I open the folder my pictures in Windows 8, I see the files but the imprint does not show the picture.  to place an icon for Windows picture something or another watch (purple photo of the mountains).

Images will be open in everything I tried.  Something about a permissions problem.

Any ideas on what I could have done wrong or how to fix the permissions problem, so I can see my photos?

Click on the photos (you can select/highlight all and do it once for each of them at the same time) and go to properties.  On the Security tab, click Advanced, and then change the "owner" for your user account (search in the options that appear).

After you set the owner, click OK until all boxes are saved/closed.  Return to properties again and this time, set yourself to have "total control" on the files. Now you should be able to open and use.

  • Cannot open pictures transferred from windows 7 to the new laptop with windows 8

    I transferred all my documents on my new computer windows 8. I can open all documents (word, excel, etc.), but no pictures. When I right click on the folder properties they have, it is set read-only. I have UN-click on that and he sends me to another screen to allow the entire folder. They are still not open, and when I go back into the properties, it is back to read-only. All the pictures have the same icon (green background with a frame in white, inside the frame is mountains and a sun... odd)

    Does anyone know how to get back my photos to their normal state?

    Thanks a lot for your answer. I solved the problem... had a friend stop who thought with me. It had to do with the UN checking the properties under display, marked "display only icons, never thumbnails"... who knew these things exist, or how they get checked! Thanks again for the message.

  • Cannot open a new browser window

    I have a few users who have problems connecting to Discoverer on new PCs. They use the Internet Explorerer 8. They are able to get to the login, but when screen connect achieving (or go) they get an error: "cannot open a new browser window. Make sure that you don't have a pop - up disabled for this site".

    Of course the first thing I had to do was disable popups blocker all together. But they still have the error (even when they restart their PC). Other than that, is there something that I miss in how they must configure IE8? I'm personally used to use IE6 at work and do not know much about the setting of configuration for IE8.


    Thank you!

    Check if you have a toolbar (like Yahoo, Google toolbar)
    These toolbars have their own Blocker for pop-up windows.
    You must disable the pop-up blocker also with the blocker IE.

    Thank you

    He said "this program has all its defaults"?
    I have no f, click on choose by default for this program "> put checkmarks on all entries in the list." > click Save.

    It work?

    Also check if the file association for the jpg has opened by photo gallery.

Does say Windows Photo Gallery? > If not, click on change program > select Windows Photo Gallery > click OK when finished.

  • Cannot open/save to files and programs after installing Windows updates

    original title: Windows Update - major problems

    My daughter has an HP laptop.  She has downloaded the Windows updates and now she can't open most of its programs.  Those that it can open, will not work correctly.  Some won't let him save, some will leave him no open files she saved in them.  If she tries to delete any program in the Control Panel, add and remove, she receives a message that there is a mistake and that the program has already been deleted. (Even the programs that it can open, but do nothing). Some of its programs to tell him that she is missing a .dll file.  If she found on the Internet and she sees something she wants to save, she used to be able to right click and save, now it does not get the dialog box when it right click.  She uses Firefox not Internet Explorer.  When she downloaded updates, the resarted the computer as usual, but when he arrived at stage 3 of 3 it locked to 0% (with NO hard disk activity) and would not go further.  She let it harden for more than half an hour and finally pressed the power button to force it to turn it off.  When she turned her back on updates have continued as usual.  Is there a undate for the Wacom which was attached to the computer at a time. Everything worked fine before she comes to install the updates.

    MMC cannot open the file:

    It is perhaps because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you don't have sufficient access to the file.

    If you open the "Files of Type" menu window
    and choose "All files" you can select your .mp4

    Under "Content Distribution"... "Archive file".
    can be a good choice.

  • Cannot open dat files in windows 7

    the operating system is windows 7 premium. Since its purchase, there has been no changes to the computer. This problem has occurred since the first day. We cannot open certain file extensions on the attachments sent to us, for most of the dat files. I searched on the net for most of the forums help ms and tried the recommended solutions, to no avail. This includes saving the file, try opening with another program or try to display the file extension. Is there a solution or a fix for this problem?

    Thanks for your help

    These files are likely to senders using Outlook and format RTF owner of the bureau, which is unable to interpret other e-mail clients.  You must either install Outlook, or even to tell shippers to use plain text or HTML format messages, but not those in the RTF format as all attachments and such parts are not readable by other beneficiaries who do not have Outlook.

  • Illustrator 2015.3 cannot open picture error

    For the startup file more persistent questions of openness I recommend resetting the OOBE

    1. Quit Illustrator & creative cloud
    2. Mac Finder > order G
    3. Enter: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
    4. Move your OOBE folder somewhere (I do it on my desktop)
    5. Start Illustrator

    They changed the appearance of the OOBE in 2015.3 sorry I can't give you exact directions on the files to move, but I've removed those selected to correct my last time, and there is a good chance that you can just delete them all. A backup lets you restore it, until we can find more information on these files.

    Other items you can try:

    • reset the prefs
    • Turn off the GPU by enabling / disabling Commadn E, then open your file.
