• Cannot delete a Document "read only".

  I have Windows Vista.  I inserted a disc in the drive, and there were about 20 documents on it.  The problem is this: I clicked one of the documents to delete and there is no Delete option.  I went in the paper and thought it was a document read-only.  I checked using the save option and under Tools, there is no control in the read-only box to clear.  I went out of the doc and clicked on properties to try to clear the area.  There is no check in the box, it is.  If there is not a check, can be a document read-only?

  Further investigation, I found that all documents on the CD were "read only".  I never made any of them read-only, and without a box to turn it off, my question is: How did all these documents get this way and how can I fix the problem.  Thank you!

  Hi clearlyembarrassed,

  See the following article:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/erase-a-CD-or-DVD

  In addition, just to check when you transfer all the files on a CD, it becomes read-only, you cannot change the file on the CD.

  I hope this helps!

• Cannot save the HP ePrint driver on Windows 10

  We have several connected to HP ePrint printers and they work very well on mobile devices.  We tried to install the software on a Windows 10 laptop but it does not record.  Here's what happens:

  • We downloaded the software here, version 5.1 published May 18, 2016.  It is said that Windows 10 is supported.
  • Install us on the laptop.
  • We print something for "HP ePrint + JetAdvantage" virtual printer.
  • The software appears, saying "to allow HP ePrint on your computer, you must save this HP ePrint with HP ePrint service pilot."
  • We click on "HP ePrint record" and enter the email address of our account.
  • He says: "unable to communicate with HP ePrint service.  Ensure that you have an internet connection valid and try again. »

  Because this does not work, we cannot print on the internet.  The software can detect the printers on the local network, but you must register to add those on the internet.  We can probably still print by e-mail to the address @hpeprint.com, but we want to make it easier for the person who intends to use the laptop.

  Here's what we tried already at the head of a few suggestions:

  • Internet connection of the laptop works.
  • We tried to disable the firewall of Windows completely.  Is there any other software other than Windows Defender security.
  • The same thing happens on another laptop Windows 10 from a completely different company.
  • Everything works when we try on a Windows 7 desktop.
  • It shouldn't be a problem with the e-mail address because it works when we use it on a Windows 7 desktop.
  • It is not a problem with the password or code PIN because we have not even to a point where we can enter a.
  • It shouldn't be a problem with the provider-specific software, because one of the laptops is a Samsung and the other is a Lenovo.  Both have the same problem.

  It seems a problem with the ePrint and 10 Windows software, I'd be happy to try other suggestions.

  Edit: Just so that people need to read the full thread to find this, it is established that the update of Windows 10 KB3163018 causes problems.  If you uninstall this update ePrint will fit again.  However, this is a cumulative update 10 of Windows so it will reinstall just the next time that Windows performs an update check, and you can't put that out forever.  HP must update their software to be compatible with it.

  Edit 2: It seems to be resolved, no update is not required.  HP should have done something on their servers instead.

  Mine worked this morning!  Must be something they fixed on their end because I'm using the same version of HP ePrint.   So relieved, because I'm going on vacation this morning and it works to send documents to our necessary activity.

• doc files locked by another user. Occurs when the laptop computer on the new Word documents opening.

  Just acquired a computer laptop and everything seemed to sync with SkyDrive and my desktop PC, except that the Word doc files will not open. Error message _ .doc is locked by another user. By selecting 'Open read-only' displays a different error message.

  I can copy files over the network to the laptop E: partition and they access very well. Copy them to D:\SkyDrive (once the original has been removed and SkyDrive left) same problem occurs. Network's WiFi in the House.

  Does not occur with the new files created on laptop, the files in the root directory of the laptop (only subdir) skydrive and .docx files.

• Several copies of the Adobe Reader software are open by Windows Explorer without any request

  I have a PC using Windows XPproSP3 as its operating system.  Adobe Reader v10.1.3 is installed on my machine. When to use Windows Explorer to view a directory containing several *. PDF files and I ask then my mouse over a file and a simple left click to select this file, Windows Task Manager shows me that the system immediately starts opening copies of AcroRd32.exe (in pairs) and continues to do so until the PC is out of memory.  The PDF in question is not actually opened.

• CS6 flash cannot save the document

  I post a new discussion of that since I couldn't find an answer for this in a Windows computer. I use Windows 8.1 and Flash CS6 using creative Application of cloud.

  Whenever I try to save a FLA document, it gives an error saying it "cannot save the document as [name of file] try to change the file location or file name.

  I do not work on a network, but have been save the file to my desktop and it back to my network file when I am done Edit. But now its happening even with the local files on my desk. Did anyone else encounter this problem or found a fix?

  Hey mediachic,

  We did a lot of troubleshooting for this issue, and WITHOUT help from Adobe, which support so that never. They just repeat what they don't support networks and advise to do not open or modify files on a network because he may / will cause corrupted files and not allow you to save. Try to save the file to a local drive or a flash drive and work on the project from there. So far, it is the only work around that we found for this but it isn't bulletproof. We have still a few users who are breaking in flash but not as often. In addition, make sure that there are no updates waiting for Flash if it is updated to Flash and reboot. Hope that helps. Good luck!

• Cannot save the no http bookmarks in firefox

  Cannot save the no http bookmarks in firefox

  Among the Favorites of standard Web sites registered on my IE toolbar, I have several of my own making html documents/pages. These start obviously by a non-http address.

  Include pages that contain an array of webcams on one page or a page that opens several sports venues each in their own tab, or strip of video covering windows live tabs stormchasing chase, weather radar, scanners of emergency etc etc.

  An address would take the format on the lines of
  'C:\Documents and Settings\All Documents\Football results and Tables\UK.html'

  Firefox insists on adding "http" before the C:\ (and unlike IE, it also adds the %20 for space.)

  Can someone help get FF to accept a favorite that is not a Web site.

  It's ok I just solved it me, waived the need to type %20 for each space.

  Need to add before c: the following

  file:\\\

  So a sample address

  file:\\\C:\Documents and Settings\All Documents\Football results and Tables\UK.html

• The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer.

  OK, it seems to be coming a lot but no one was able to respond (including Microsoft) so I'll ask, and be as specific as possible.

  Because I work with vector art that I constantly have to save files by crush the and everything was cool with WinXP pro.  I have Win7 Pro and everything was cool, until recently.  Whenever I tried to overwrite my files, I would get an error message saying that the file was either dead or opened elsewhere, but it has happened about 50% of the time.  A launch the re-registration of files with different names.  After obtaining the files re-registered I then try to remove and rename files, but found I couldn't do it anymore, as I was constantly getting the error message "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer."  Closing and reopening the browser do nothing.  Someone said if not empty the trash bin works, but not for me.  The files are on an external drive, I tried to disable the cache of writing by Device Manager and Windows Management Console (or other) frozen and took the pc with it (nice work, MS!).  Reboot seems to fix the problem for a bit, but he returned quickly and randomly.  It also seems to randomly select to lock files.  Some files I can not change, some that I can.  Others begin to operate after some time of inactivity.

  I tried to disable thumbnails in Explorer and even added a DWORD NoThumbnailCache in the registry, but it still happens.  Basically, I'll have to save all of the new files over and over again and that from time to time be able to remove the "old" while being only randomly too write others.  This question seems to be infestation Vista and Win7 and people have waited for a fix, Microsoft, but was mum on the issue.  If anyone can come up with a solution, it would be great.  It is killing my productivity!

  Common guys...
  Im having this problem too and I've been thought IE9 is at the origin of the problem, some how, I don't want to disturb...

  Here are some solutions:
  Please note that I'm looking, there is not any solution patch for this program by Microsoft, you can maintain it yourself. And correct solutions in this way losses.

  Solution 1: Use CMD.
  0 - note the following 3 steps will complete the process explorer.exe, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open files and any associated process would stop.
  1. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
  2 - go to the processes tab.
  3 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
  4. now, click the menu file-> new task (run...)
  5 type CMD, and then click OK.
  6. now you can do something you couldn't have done before with this user interface. Some useful commands:
  -cd: change the current directory. Use 'CD..' to the 'button' in windows Explorer.
  -dir: lists the existing file and folders in the directory current. Use ' dir/p' to the list in the pages.
  -del [file name]: removes the file [filename] existing in the current directory.
  -Rename [name of file] [new file name]: rename the file [old file name] existing or a file existing in the current directory to [new file name].

  Solution 2: Use a different file manager.
  0 - install and run another Manager file as "XYPlore".
  1 Note that the following 3 steps will end your explorer.exe process, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open records and all other related processes would cease.
  2. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
  3 - go to the processes tab.
  4 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
  5. use XYPlore UI and do what you want.
  Please note that the problem could happen with this kind of external explorers too. So close any file and go into a secure after your working directory.

  Solution 3: Do it yourself!
  If you can program, there are some codes that might help you. These codes which talks about Im, says MS Windows to remove your annoying pinned files just before you shut down the system.
  Here is an example:
  MoveFileEx ('C:\windows\system32\ld21E.tmp', nil, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING or MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
  This code will work correctly in Delphi from Borland compilers, and as you can see, the "ld21e.tmp" file is deleted after compiling this code and restart your windows.

  I wish I can do better, as to publish an Explorer that do what you want automatically, so I hope that these can be useful.
  Some how you can check this thread too, it may be useful:

• Other people cannot save the data

  I use Adobe Pro XI to create and edit PDF files. I have not any defined security and double checked all the settings. On my computer, it says that everything is allowed and no security. On a computer that uses the free version, the data entered in the form cannot be saved, only printed. What should I do so that these forms can be saved?

  If the person who reads your PDF file using Adobe Reader X or earlier, you must save the PDF in Acrobat to activate the backup drive.

  Choose file > save as other > Reader Extended PDF > activate tools plus (includes filling out form and save).
