Cannot open programs from the internet, like Yahoo, icons on the screen or a task bar.

Since IE8 download, programs online, such as Yahoo, won't open with a single or a double click.  I have to type prog address area address each time.  I've deleted and reinstalled affected shortcuts without success.  I understand the msg each time: "this file has no program associated with it. Create an association in the Folder Options Control Panel"but it does not work as there is no selection for this in the Control Panel folder Options, which I find in

"Control Panel".

-' Folder options '.

Computerized programs, such as Word and EXEL normally open with a single click in the task bar.

All was well with IE7.

Your help please

Go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and highlight the HtM and HtML options and click on each one in turn and follow these procedures to set the default values for Internet Explorer.  If all goes well, this will solve most, if not all, of the problem.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Cannot open PDFs from the web

    Hello; I was always able to open PDFs from the web without saving them first. Today (15/05/2015), I got a notice that an update was available for acrobat.

  • Cannot open programs using the icons on the desktop

    Hello

    I just noticed that I can not access the internet directly by clicking on the icon. a window opens asking for me to choose the program I want to use to open IE.  He would then run the program but nothing happens and it goes in circles asking to select a program to open, run, etc.

    Soon I noticed that clicking on other applications would result in an error message saying "Application not found".  I can't remove programs from my control panel because it is inaccessible, I can't open Microsoft Office programs directly unless I go to my computer.  I can't do a system recovery or restoration; the same messages will pop up. So basically, I can't make any changes to my desktop or access directly programs.  Help, please.

    Thank you

  • Cannot open programs after the removal of virus to the AVG Virus Vault and rebooted.

    Hi, I have AVG 2011 Free Edition and when I had a virus, AVG it is removed from the quarantine. He then told me to restart the computer to finish. So I restarted and I noticed that the programs which usually start up when I turn on the computer start (like AIM and others). In addition, when I try to open a program for example Firefox, it tells me to choose a program to open the file. It's really annoying and it won't let me choose a default program to open a specific file. Thank you all for the help!

    You have system restore before you have been affected by the virus?

    Hello Slwaldaias,

    Thanks for your post.  Have you ever had two monitors connected to your computer?  If so, this is probably still in place and tries to open the windows on the other monitor.  You can correct this by ensuring that your computer settings are for a single monitor.  If you have never had a second monitor, the first step would be to scan your computer for malware.

    Use the malicious software removal tool to perform your analysis.

    We can't wait to hear back on your part.

    See you soon

  • 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.

  • Cannot open programs after the installation of Norton

    So, my computer recently picked up a virus affecting internet Explorer. I installed a new copy of Norton Internet Security, when I realized my virus protection was rendered obsolete and the Vista firewall was not enough. The virus is now gone, unfortunately is if my ability to open ALL programs on my computer. When I try to open a program, windows asks me what program I want to use to open the program and sends me an error message. This includes verification of the admin system.

    Hello

    Your best bet may be to restore your system to a point before that you have a virus. I hope it wasn't too long.
    You will need a Vista DVD. If you do not, you can barrow one.

  • Cannot open pictures from the bridge

    I installed and updated the PhotoshopCC and the BridgeCC.

    I can view the images in Bridge. However, whenever I double-click on it, I get the following error message"

    "Windows cannot find C:\Programfiles\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64-bit). Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. "I can open PhotoshopCC files without going to the bridge.

    What can I do?

    This may be linked to this problem: PhotoshopCC does not seem to set file associations.

    I've deleted and reinstalled Photoshop CC everything seems to be ok now. I think I solved the problem. If you have Photoshop CS 6 in your system and then install Photoshop CC, CC Photoshop replace all the relevant entries in the file association. The problem comes when you then uninstall the old version. The uninstall procedure clears all file association emtries, even if they are labeled as CC. This leads to the exchanger of problem in my first post. We can solve it by uninstalling and then re-installing Photshop CC. What seemed to be a problem of 'Bridge' is relly a problem of "Photoshop". If you do only want one version of Photoshop on your system, uninstall the old version before installing Photoshop CC.

    I can't open a link embedded in any email in the stock email app. I have looked everywhere for the parameters that can fix this but can't find. I have the Gmail app for my personal account (links open very well) and use the stock for my job application account Exchange. Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    Well, strange question. It is maybe something wrong with the CD rom of s?
    The best idea is to recover this unit with the supplied restore CD, but first of all you can try to remove the CD rom from Device Manager device. After OS start the player will be recognized again. If the problem persists after this procedure, I would recommend to recover the device.

  • Cannot find my programs from the creative cloud on my mac

    I can't find my programs from the creative cloud on my mac. When I search, they are not. But I can open some of them through the icons in the dock. Unfortunately, not all programs have an icon in my dock. The program that I need right now for example, I can not open because it is not in the dock.

    You can try to hold down the command key clicking and now on the icon in the dock and under "options" select "show in Finder". This will show you where one of your Adobe applications. The others will be perhaps in the same place?
