• 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.

  Best regards

• cannot open programs by right click and run as administrator

  had a virus earlier today, I think it was the security of windows one... anyway I got rid of it with malwarebytes and restarted my computer. now, for some reason, I can't run programs without going through a right-click and run as an administrator.
  When I try to run normally (left-click) I get this window "open with."
  I'm not very good with technical terms, but I tried several fixes that have failed

  When I right click, open properties, then open the tab compatibility... "run this program as Administrator" button is grayed out so I can't do anything with that.

  turning UAC enabled or disabled dosent seem to do anything.

  Some programs are completely inaccessible, (like microsoft word)

  I also watched regedit but as didemt not a lot of sense to me at all. If anyone could break how to fix this step by step before reinstalling the DVD (which I did not), you will be my best friend

  EDIT: I followed this link of early wich looked like the same, but the link of download in the best masculine seems to not work

  Hello

   

  Method 1: Disable the security software and verify afterwards; Follow the steps mentioned in the link below

  Disable the antivirus software

  If you use a non-Microsoft security software, you can check the documentation provided with the program to achieve this.

  Important: Activate security software once everything is done.

  Method 2: When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program

• 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.

• cannot start microsoft office outlook. Cannot open the outlook window.

  I have Windows 7 and keep getting this message when trying to open my emial. "" annot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

  Hi chatimcc,

  Welcome to the HP forum.

  Open a command window. Type outlook.exe /resetnavpane and press the Enter key. Now try to open Outlook.

• Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

  I tried running Outlook.exe / resetnavpane because I see it worked for a ton of people - but I got the error message "cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.  The command line argument is not valid.  Check the switch you are using.

  This is almost always due to:

  1. you have an older version of Outlook that does not have command line switch.  What version of Outlook you have?
  2. you have not put a space between "Outlook.exe" and "/ resetnavpane.

  Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

  There is a SPACE between 'exe' and ' / '. You didn't have that. That's why.

  Hi Gstone,

  Method 1

  You can try to change the file association in the control panel and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  You can access the link below and follow the instructions on how to change that uses default Windows programs:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default

  Method 2

  If the steps above do not work I suggest you try to create a new user account and check if you can open programs and windows normally.

  Create a new user account.

  a. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.

  b. click on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  c. click on create a new account.

  d. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.

  If you are able to access it by using the new profile, access the link below and follow the steps to correct the user's profile.

• Cannot open attachments in Windows Mail

  Can not open attachments [such as wmv.] in Windows Mail
  Unless I first save the attachment and then open it from the location of the saved file. After that attachments can be opened in WM until the next time I start the PC. Then I do the routine save - open again.
  Help, please
  Thank you

  Try this, instead of open Windows Mail on the part of the shortcuts to quick launch or desktop, or in the Start Menu, start it from "start |" All programs | Windows Mail' and see if your attachments open.  There is a recurring problem between Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Mail that causes this and many people have been able to resolve the question drinking from Windows Mail in this way.  These discussions have a lot more information:

  Vista, IE8, Windows Mail, can not open attachments
  Microsoft Word attachments to e-mail
  Windows Mail does not open attachments, cannot open the PDF, JPEG...
