• Error message - Windows cannot open this file after downloading program

  After several days in offline mode, I went online to update Microsoft Security Essentials and click on analysis complete.  It took an hour.  After that, I found that all my programs were virgins, almost of all of the standard microsoft Microsoft Security Essentials is.  I tried to download it again, plus others such as adobe acrobat, but all said "windows cannot open this file".  I asked help from Microsoft but received access denied.  I feel like an illegal immigrant, as all the doors were closed.  What does that mean?  My OS would be illegal?  It is Windows XP and was purchased new in the retail price in 2004 and has only once been out of my hands when I sent it repairs and have 2 GB ram added.  Any ideas?

• Only the administrator can read mp3 files. All users get "Windows cannot open this file".

  I am running XP SP3... After that my children were on the internet all day, they have lost the ability to play mp3 files. When I went to ' Control Panel/folders/files Types... under MP3 - we say "Sound in MP3 format" with no program to open this type of file. "

  However, when I signed up as a Director and went to 'File Types' he registered "Windows Media Player" as the program to open the file.

  So I can play the MP3 files under administrator, but no one else can play an MP3 file.

  Any suggestions?

• Windows cannot open this file .json

  In joomla 2.5.6, when you try to download an image from the file button I get this error message in Internet Explorer 9 - Windows 7 Professional
  : Windows cannot open this file:

  file: .json joomla (3)
  To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs installed on your computer.

  If anyone can suggest how I can fix this I would be very happy.

  Thank you

  P.S. This has happened after calling Microsoft this morning and ask for help with another problem with script. The technician who took control of my computer doing something, and since then, nothing works properly!

  Hello

  Method 1
  JSON is a java file. or JavaScript Object Notation, is an open standard based on text designed for the exchange of human readable data. It is derived from the JavaScript scripting language to represent associative arrays, and simple data structures called objects. Despite his relationship with JavaScript, it is independent of the language, with parsers available for many languages.

  If you want to open. You must have Java installed on your computer the JSON file. If you have java installed on the computer I suggest you to try the steps from the following link:

  Change the programs that Windows uses by default
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default

  Method 2
  I also suggest to run virus scan online by using the Microsoft safety scanner.

  Note: when you do an antivirus online, you will lose data that are affected by the virus. Microsoft is not responsible for the loss of this data.

• Error - Windows cannot open this file when trying to install Microsoft Gadgets.

  Original title: how to install gadget from Microsoft.

  I down loaded the gadgets and themes, when I go to install, Windows cannot open this file. If I get them from microsoft, it seems that windows can open.

  Hi mikemontgomery,

  If you use windows XP, it is not possible to install Microsoft Gadgets on it. Microsoft Gadgets are optimized for Windows Vista and Windows 7 only.

  However, you can use your favorite search engine to download third-party gadgets which can serve the purpose.

  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.

  Hey Adil_hadi

  by the sound of it, you have not used the vista disc management program to do this job

  You can not reduce the other partitions and vista disc management allows to fix the pieces of them on the c: partition

  is that correct that you have used 3rd party disk partition software?

  normally in vista disk management you must delete a full score, then extend c: into the now unallocated space where the other partition was to expand the c: partition

  and vista does not have the means to move partitions on the hard disk

  for any problem you have if using partition software disk, 3rd party contact the programs manufacturer

• Windows cannot open this file MSN3.mailhost how can I fix?

  Yesterday, I bought a program for helping solve the errors in my pc.  Name ARO 2011.  Tonight, I made a scan.  Showed all errors in my PC.  I look through them.  And I don't see anything that relates to my email.   So I pressed the fix button.  Then I tried to enter my email happens an error Windows can not open this file is not what it is.  Shelly, thank you, MSN3.mailhost.

  sign out of Msn.

  b. Click Start

  c. click on run

  d. type regsvr32 c:\progra~1\msn\msncorefiles\mailui.dll, and then click OK.

• 8 64-bit Windows cannot open chm files

  Hello

  I have a user who cannot view help files .chm on their 64-bit of Windows 8 computers. Here are the help files that reside on the local hard drive (C:\Program Files\...) and NOT on a server share. At the opening of these (double clicking the .chm file or opening with F1 in the application), they are displayed with a message "Navigation to the webpage was canceled".
  This seems to be the same problem that tons of people have on their files downloaded .chm or shared, but for this one user is for all local .chm files.
  I tried the things:
  1. HHReg using asks to move the MaxAllowedZone to 2 (which I don't expect to have an effect since it is the LOCAL files that don't work)
  2. HHReg application using Add the path to the .chm for the UrlAllowList entry file.

  To further complicate things, my own 64-bit of Windows 8 machine can open files .chm perfectly without any problems. Granted, I'm a software developer so I have a ton of programs installed (including the HTMLHelp Workshop) which can be fix this problem for me? I don't really know why it works for me and not for the single user.
  So, anyone have any ideas?

  The only thing that worked for me was to uncheck "always ask... at the opening of this file... "When you first open the file. Subsequently, the popup no longer appears, and you can read the content of the CHM file.
