Cannot open the XPS Documents in Vista 64-bit

I have Windows 64 - bit Vista Home Premium installed on my computer.

I need to access an XPS document that an employee sent as an attachment, but the file is asking me to choose an application, even when the XPS Viewer is defined as the default opening program.

I already double checked that the XPS Viewer is active.

I've been on this site,

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/967190

The site reportedly has a fix for 64-bit with this problem, but the problem seems to be specific for .net 3.5 SP1. My computer says I have .net 3.0 SP2, that article mentions. The article, however, does not seem to indicate that the fix will work for 3.0 SP2. It seemed unclear to me on this issue

So, two questions:

If I have installed the fix, it works in SP2, or just the SP1,

Is it still my problem first?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

If you do not. NEt Framework 3.5 SP1 installed, the patch at this link does not work and you said that you only. NEt 3.0 SP2.  You need to install .NET framework 3.5 SP1 before you can try this difficulty.  Here is the download site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&DisplayLang=en.  Simply follow the instructions and to do it properly.

Once you have. NEt Framework 3.5 SP1 installed and running, you can then try the fix that you posted in this link to fix the problem with the opening of XPS documents.

Frankly, I don't know if this is your problem or the fix will fix it (but it might).  It coud be a problem with the e-mail program (what name and version you use)?  It could also bee a problem with Excel.

For any other question about Excrl issues, please post in the Excel section of the Office of the Discussion Group at: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.excel.misc&lang=en&cr=US where experts in Excel will be more than happy to help you with your problems.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Cannot print the XPS document. Error: First save the document.

    Original title: PROGRAM: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\XPSVIEWER. EXE (2008)

    Even though same C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\XPSVIEWER. EXE is displayed as being installed on my system, every time I try to print an XPS document (which has been either to download or save before) the system says that I must save the document and will not let me print it.

    Shekar,

    Thanks a lot for the answer of the year.  After reviewing your suggestion, I did further investigation and found that the problem seems to be related to the fact that FIREFOX is my default browser.  Very briefly, when you attempt to print to the FIREFOX WARNING saying that the file is a FILE XPS one of asking "FIREFOX HOW can" by selecting the option 'OPEN' the system asked me to choose what program to use and when I choose C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\XPSVIEWER he returned to the "FIREFOX HOW can" with the file window.

    However, WHEN I OPEN THE FILE using INTERNET EXPLORER (7), the file opens, and I can print with my default system printer.

    I'm waiting for your answer before be displayed as "ANSWERED" thank you once again with the year

  • Cannot open the adapter ethernet USB Vista installation files

    How can I get the driver to install properly iof I can install it from the disc it came to drom. I went to the site, the same set of files and I can not open these either. You searched for openers sys files none of them worked.

    USB ethernet card. I can not open the installation on the sisk files to install properly.

    They cannot install as with other programs.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you should do all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    If you can't find the drivers that will install, then you must contact the manufacturer's technical assistance service to explain the problem and get instructions on how to install the drivers they provide.  We cannot help you here because it is their product and their record and we know almost nothing about how their files are created or how they are intended to be installed (or if the device and drivers are compatible with your version of Vista).

    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot open the keynote document?

    For some reason I can't open some keynote documents. They appear as gray while others can I open black. No idea why this is happening?

    Thank you

    Chris

    The usual reason for this is that they are not the Keynote files, so Keynote can't open them.

    Your screenshot, they look like text documents.

    To see what they contain, go to the folder of documents using the Finder and double-click the files and they will be opened in the respective applications out there.

  • How can I open the file ASHX on Vista 64 - bit PC

    I downloaded an ASHX file on the internet and my PC Vistia 64 bit does not recognize.  How can I open the file?

    Hello

    File with the extension to ASHX file is an ASP.NET Web Manager.

    ASHX files are files used with the ASP.NET programming and can be opened with any program code in ASP.NET (like Microsoft Visual Web Developer). ASHX files are not intended to be read or opened by the browser. If you have downloaded a file ASHX and expecting that it contains information (such as a document or other recorded data), it is likely that something is wrong with the website and instead of generating usable information, she provided this file server instead.

    You can search on the Internet a program that can open this file.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • LaserJet P1102w: Laserjet P1102w cannot activate the installation with Windows Vista 32 bit PC computer wireless

    Hello forum HP, I can use the Laserjet P1102w with USB connection on 3 different devices including a portable Apple and PC Windows Vista and Windows 7 laptop computer, but can not perform a wireless installation with the broadband internet connected wireless PC running Windows Vista 32 bit. The main message is that the computer does not find the printer even when using the USB connection. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @Kaiser3107,

    Welcome to the HP Support forum.

    I understand that you have a HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer that connects three thin devices via the USB port, but you can not perform a wireless installation on a fourth device, equipped of Windows Vista 32-bit, because the PC does not detect the printer via the USB port. I would like to help with that.

    Here is a support document which includes 'USB device is not detected by Windows' which can help the issue of detection - Troubleshooting (Windows Vista) USB connections.

  • problems .crd of opening the file extension under Vista 64-bit,

    I have .crd files created by the cardfile program that was on older versions of Windows. Cardfile program does not work on Vista 64 bit. I need a way to open files in a usable format.

    Hello Moesch,
     
    Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.
     
    You must associate the *. CRD Extension with the CardFile application. In Vista, by default, the extension of the CRD is associated with CardSapce.
     
    To change the file association:
    1. click on start and type CMD
    2. in the list right click on CMD and click "Run as Administrator".
    3. use the following commands to * change * the file association.
    a. type SCS .crd = CardFile31, and then press on enter
    b. Type ftype = C:\Windows\CARDFILE CardFile31. EXE %1 and press enter
    4. double-click the Cardfile.CRD file. It should open in the map file.
     
    It will be useful.
     
    Thank you and best regards,
