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.

I hope this helps. Let us know the result.

  • SEQ file created via V2013 cannot open with V2014?

    Hello, I created a file .seq with V2013 edit sequence without protection, but this file cannot be opened with the editor spequence of V2014 in another computer and display a dialog below: :-17100 error code

    Is it on two different computers or on the same computer? If it is two different machines, it is possible that your region on your operating system settings are defined differently from the default language to use for non-unicode programs? If so, try setting the TestStand 2014 machine to match the settings of the machine of TestStand 2013. Also, make sure that the Option on the location tab has the same settings to "Recognize multibyte characters" on both machines.

    Hope this helps,

  • Cannot open with photoshop CS2 image

    I got this camera, Canon 50 d, for little more than two years.

    Now it's time to start working with Raw image and cannot open the image with Photoshop.

    But I could open me with EOS utility for working with Photoshop.

    Thanks for reading and tips pleae

    Photoshop CS2 will never be directly open a Canon EOS - 50 d raw file.  The raw files of each device are different and your camera has been designed after the Photoshop CS2, Camera Raw application has stopped to receive updates.

    This list is relevant:

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

    That said, there is a free solution that will allow you to open your pictures indirectly.

    • Whenever you have a folder full of 50 d raw images run the DNG Converter on the folder to convert all files to DNG.  You will need to select the appropriate compatibility setting.
    • You can now open the DNG files with Camera Raw in Photoshop CS2 converter.

    Either way, the latest version of Photoshop Camera Raw Converter offers better quality images, then you want may be mobile until Photoshop CS6.  Unfortunately, you will have to pay full price; it's not Photoshop CS2-> discount CS6 upgrade.

    Hello JoeD.Thomas,

    These are the conditions to be able to run applications.

    Make sure your screen resolution is at least 1024 x 768

    Make sure that the (UAC) user account control is enabled. Press the Windows key and from the splash screen, type UAC, and on the right, select settings.  Select change user account control settings and check here.

    You can clear the Cache store to see if it helps. :
    Right click on the start screen.
    Click run.
    Type of WSReset.exe

    If this does not work then try to run the System File Checker
    Run the System File Checker to see if any corrupt system files.
    1. type cmd on the start screen.
    2. right-click on it and select run as administrator.
    3 type the following command and press ENTER: SFC/scannow

    The problem with the built-in Administrator account is that it automatically ignores the user account control settings, and it is required to run the Apps Store.

    You must turn on User Account Control (UAC).

    Open Control Panel / user accounts.

    Select the change user account control settings.

    The cursor must be on 3rd down option.

    After you make a change, click OK .

    The steps provided by Ronnie Vernon.

    Let us know if that helps your question of apps.

    Thank you

  • Definition of the version of CS by default to open with Windows

    When I installed CS5 on my PC under Windows XP, it automatically become the default to open all my .indd files.  I wasn't quite ready to switch so I used "open with...". "going back to CS3, it gave me two options of CS3 and CS5 at the top of the list.  Now, I want to change it back in CS5 but cannot, 'Open with'... dialog box looks like this with only CS3 at the top of the list:

    When I click Browse and go to CS5 it doesn't, probably because CS3 and CS5 are both called Indesign.exe.  Checking the "use of the always...» "did not help either.  I can fix with a reinstall, but it would be nice to be able to reverse the default, I might want to open a batch of files in CS3.

    I know Soxy will do, but it's frustrating not being able to make such a simple change in Windows.  Soxy will not install for me anyway, but it's another problem...

I can't use the USB stick or cd / dvd drive so how should proceed to solve this? I can't put my external modem to make a back up and I really want to fix this without losing all the data on my pc.
