  • Cannot open the file due to a header error Error Message.

    Hello

    If you're still trying to import an audio file (wav) in Adobe Premiere (or any other program) and get this error "Error Message.
    Cannot open the file due to a header error"

    Try to download this utility (found my copy Guide Fassoft Audio Converter of Tom.  I imported my wav file in the utility and then converted 'back' to another wav file in another folder.  And fixed it.

    There is a limit of 5 minutes on the trial version, but my audio file was less than 5 minutes, so it worked for me.

    I don't know that there are other similar utilities, so try any utility "Audio Converter" to see if it will fix your audio file.

    It worked for me.  Perhaps others have alternatives they would recommend.

    Hello

    I found a better (free!) utility to do this. (The free version of Fassoft Audio Converter has audio length limits).

    It is called MediaHuman Audio Converter and I found this site: http://www.mediahuman.com/audio-converter/welcome.html

    MediaHuman has worked on my windows 10 computer and does the work to 'fix' the question header error. Import the wav damaged and then exported to a new folder.

  • Cannot restore the downloads folder to the original location

    Dear community,

    I have a new computer Windows 8.

    The hard drive is split into two, OS (C :) and DATA (d) and I realized that all my files were stored in the C: drive)

    I read online that you can change the location of folders like "My documents" by clicking on properties and change the location to the other disk.

    I did it for the Documents folders and everything was fine, I had a Documents folder in my D: drive.

    Then I did the same with my downloads folder and selected the location D:\

    After that, I realized that my D: drive and file downloads completely merged!

    Which means, when I went to my DATA (d :)) I could find all my downloads and My Documents folder.

    Still, when I was clicking on Downloads, My Documents folder was inside!

    So I clicked on downloads and tried to restore the default location, but I got the error message that it was impossible to "create sublists under D: System Volume Information. Access Denied» I tried to introduce the location manually, but the same thing happened.

    Now, my downloads folder has changed its name, it is called D:\ and my disk DATA (d :)) says in the location tab its default location is C:/users/downloads)

    I don't understand why this happened and that cannot be good for the functioning of my PC...

    Can I restore my system to just before that happened even if I never 'saved' my computer?

    If not, what can I do to fix this?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hello

    I only did this for awhile and can't find my notes...

    I think that you can get the error because you are trying to get the DOWNLOADS folder... AND it's the content... This will not work because they are now scattered on D:\.

    If asked about the files, select NO, and then copy back them manually after you move downloads.

    OR... you could leave it here just temporarily, return downloads, create a folder for downloads on D: and then move again into the folder you have created. Then, cut and paste your files into it...

  • Cannot open the c: folder or all folders

    Hello. I had this problem but I don't ever mind so far. I downloaded new fonts to use on photoshop, and when I try to copy and paste them into the folder of fonts as I used to do, I can not simply open any folder once I open the c: drive. When I try to open the windows folder or the folder programs is gives me an error that windows Explorer has stopped working. I then click on the check online for a solution and restart the program, and then try again, same problem.  I am a designer of Web site using different fonts is so important to me so can you tell me how to solve my problem or another way to install my new fonts. Thank you in advance for the help...

    daydream305,
    I don't think it's just a matter to install fonts, your system has damaged files, as found by the System File Checker, and you are unable to open the folders on your hard drive.  This will cause you problems more and could get progressively worse over time.  It should be fixed.  Is what kind of computer?  It is possible that there the recovery on the hard drive partition - most of the manufacturers not providing the operating system on DVD, put it on a special partition on the hard disk where you can either run recovery off the hard drive or make a backup of the operating system, depending on the configuration they it upward.  Here's how to know if you have installed on your hard drive recovery partition.  If you have not previously installed on your computer, it would be wise to buy it.  Or you can upgrade to Windows 7 Relase Candidate 1 for free, however, this is a pre-release version so not recommended for your computer, especially if used for business.  You can see Windows 7 here: http://windows.microsoft.com/

    If the Startup Repair tool is an option of recovering preinstalled on your computer:
    1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.
    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

    2. hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    3. in the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select repair your computer and press ENTER. (If repair your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer does not repair the startup as a preinstalled recovery option)

    4. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

    5. Select a user name and password, and then click OK.

    6. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair. Startup Repair can invite you to make choices as it tries to solve the problem and, if necessary, it may restart your computer, because it makes the repairs.

    I hope this helps.  Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

  • Photoshop cannot open the file because of a program error

    Hello friends.

    How do I stop this error? Please send me something to fix Photoshop.

    Kind regards

    Kevin

    Hey Kevin,

    Uninstall Photoshop, as well as previous CS versions to avoid any interference with your current version. Adobe offers a tool to remove completely all the CS to your computer files. Once you have uninstalled these, reinstall Photoshop and apply the program updates. If it's useless trying Photoshop difficulty Toolbox https://www.fixtoolbox.com/photoshopfix.html

    This application can restore data from all versions of Adobe Photoshop.

    Good luck.

  • CHKDSK error: cannot open the volume for direct access.

    CHKDSK is on the machine does not work it gives me the error:

    I also have the CD of Windows 7 available and administrator of the computer. I don't know how to get it to make CHKDSK work correctly at startup
    Thank you

    Hello Mitcherator777,

    You can connect to your computer in normal mode or only in safe mode?

    It would be the best way to run the Chkdsk command:

    1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
    2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)
    3. disconnect all external devices before installing.
    4. check your hard disk for errors:
    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    Let us know the status of your question.

    Thank you

  • Failed to open the Add Printer window. access denied...

    Running a win7 HP Pavillion dv 6000.  Downloaded all the updates. the printer is on a wireless network.  I can print and scan and ping from cmd line and see the printer.  Yet he does not appear in devices and printers. And when I do try and add the printer, I get the window "can't open add printer." access denied. "  When I tried the cmd line, he wants to settle down on the network.  its already up and running on the network. The printer and scanner both appear in Device Manager, even if I have to open 'show hidden devices' to see, but they tell me the drivers are not installed, but they are.

    I am logged in as administrator. BTW I also just installed the same printer on a new computer win7 hp desktop and and it worked fine. I can also access it from another laptop running xp. all on the same network.

    Don't think that bothers me as well if it didn't work, but it does not work.  The machine just tell me its there!

    A big thank you to all those who might lend a hand.  And I don't know 'if it isn't broken don't fix.'

    Hi Worktel,

    • You have a third-party security software installed on the computer?

    Step 1, I suggest to access the link below and follow the steps in the article to run a Printing Troubleshooter.  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/why-cant-I-print

    Step 2

    If the printer troubleshooter help you to solve the problem and you are unable to open add a printer, you can also try to temporarily disable the security software from the computer and try to verify if can install the printer and print. If gets detected and if you can print, you can contact the manufacturer of security software and check if you need to change the settings. Later, re-enable the security software.

    Step 3

    If the steps above do not help, you can try to create a new administrator account on your computer and check to see if you can install it.

    To create a new user account, follow these steps:

    a. open user accounts by clicking on the button start the picture of 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. Administrator permission. 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 a type of account administrator and then click on create an account.

    If it works fine in the new user account, you can access the link and follow the steps for the corrupt profile Fix:
