  Check if your Windows Photo Gallery has its flaws.

  Start > default of programs > Set Your Default programs > left side, click Windows Photo Gallery...
  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.

  Start > default programs > set a file type or Protocol with a program > under the name on the right, scroll down to .jpg, up until it clicks > look to the right. Does say Windows Photo Gallery? > If not, click on change program > select Windows Photo Gallery > click OK when finished.

• 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.

• 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 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?

• Now that the utility install cleanup is no longer available, what are my options to uninstall a program that cannot be uninstalled using the standard method?

  I have three programs which cannot be uninstalled using the standard method (Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs); they are Adobe Reader 9.3.4, update of Java 6 and Java 6 update 24. What are my options for removing these programs from my system? I did a search on the internet and all the answers say to use the standard method, or they point to the Microsoft Installer Cleanup (msicuu2.exe) utility. I found sites that claim to have the software available for download, but I am wary of loading the software of a site, that I don't know.

• Error message"the file is maybe damaged or corrupted 1610153464 / also cannot open projects in the background 26: 142

  Hi all

  I hope someone can help me.

  I use AE CC/Windows 7 on a Dell, 32 GB of RAM, 64-bit op system, processor: Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU x 5670 @ 2.93 Ghz 2.93 Ghz (2 CPUs).

  So far I had worked on many projects with no problems and then a few weeks ago, project crashing non-stop. The problem has been resolved when I got rid of all the MP3s and diverted to RAM. Once again, it was a problem that I had not in the past and I don't remember changing anything whatsoever.

  Now, it seems that it is impossible for me to export/rendering a project in a Quick time or same AVI file. If its quick time, I get this message: unable to make failure of After Effects error one module output. The file may be damaged or corrupted -1610153464 and if I am trying to export with AVI I get this message: cannot open projects in the background AE 26: 142)

  What is happening with the various projects.

  I have read the forums on hearing that the problem may be a Bug with quicktime and H.264? I never had a problem with it before, but even once when I try to export AVI I get this error message:

  Cannot open projects in the background AE

  I have a feeling that it is associated with quick time. I uninstalled and reinstalled QT, but still not the problem. It will open the old QT files without problem. I tried to download an update of the correction of a bug as a proposed post but I think I have the final reason why it did not work.

  This project has a couple of quick media files H.264. Do I need to convert? They are the cause of all this?

  I'm sorry, I really tried to seek answers in the forums before contacting you here, but I can't find a reason for all this mess, which again appeared a few weeks without any problems for months... If someone can point out an area where I can start looking, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

  QuickTime H.264 is terrible. Do not use it.

  Use the AVI file, you have created in your Adobe Media Encoder and use the parameters of H.264 there.

• '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.
