  Hello arbirk2, this looks like a problem maybe caused by adware on your pc.

  Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.).
  
  also go to Control Panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
  
  Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

• open pdf attachments in Windows Media Center

  Sometimes I get e-mails with attachments in pdf. When I download these attachments, the Windows Media Center window opens but I don't know how to open the pdf file that has been sent.

  jerryedgar,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.

  To open a pdf file, you must have the Adobe Acrobat reader software installed on your computer.  This is a free program that can be downloaded from Adobe here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ remember you select the operating system and the version that you have installed on your computer.

  Once you have Adobe Acrobat reader is installed, all you have to do is double click on the file name to open it.

• When you try to open a PDF file, Windows Media Center opens

  My aunt has Windows Vista on her computer and whenever she tries to open a pdf file that opens Windows Media Center. Is there a way to get Windows Vista to point to Acrobat Reader to open the file, or should it go directly to the RA? Thanks for any help you can give on this subject.

  
  Steve
  
  PS; I don't know if it's 32-bit or 64-bit.
  * original title - PDF problem on windows Vista *.

  Acrobat Reader or Adobe Reader? Personally, I wouldn't use Adobe at all, but try this. Skip #1 if it is already on the HARD drive.

  Create a file association.

  1. download and save the attachment to the office.
  2. right click on the saved file.
  3. Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
  4. click on: choose [default] program.
  5. Select: PDF reader program.
  6. check: always use the selected program to open this type of file.
  7. click on OK.

  2. Once you find the right type of file (MS Word.docs/.docx) (Excel .xls) just right-click and select "Open with" menu drop-down menu drop-down.

  3. click on "set the default program.

  4. a list of pop programs until navigates to that you want to open files with. Once you have found it select and apply the changes.

  5. your done! You should now be able to open this type of file with the program you have selected every time that you select in Solution Explorer. Just do the same thing with your other types of files and your good to go!

  
  

  If you have any other question or problem please respond and I will be more then happy to help you further.

  First of all, there is not - and has never been - anywhere to download a legal copy of any version of Windows XP...

  Second, Windows XP Media Center Edition was available as a pre-installed OEM operating system (for example, Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.).  If you wanted a computer with MCE, you should have bought one with MCE.  In the unlikely case where your second-hand computer comes from an OEM and it came originally with MCE (look at the sticker on the box), it is possible, at a distance, the same manufacturer can provide the installation media necessary for a price.

  If the video card in the computer is able to drive the "big flat screen", then you have nothing else (assuming that the computer meets other material).  See http://www.ehow.com/info_8204776_needed-netflix-streaming-work.html and http://www.ehow.com/how_7561774_stream-netflix.html

• 'Open with' error for each program I opened

  I just recently got rid of a bunch of virus (Norton AntiVirus) from my computer (Vista). And now whenever I try to open a box program 'open with' opens and has only Notepad as a choice.

  Hi dored,

  Please follow the steps below and see if that helps.

  • Navigate to the location - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015, search the file named sniffer.exe and place it on the desktop.
  • Launch of Photoshop now and it should work fine.

  Note - moving sniffer on desktop, Photoshop will not use your graphics card.

  Another solution would be to install a previous version of the graphics driver.

  Let me know if it helps.

  Unless you have purchased a retail version of Office, it cannot be installed on one new/another PC

  You cannot transfer a program, you need the original installation and the program key support

  See if your key is validated on this MS site if it's download/save the Setup file and install then, having first uninstalled any Office pre-installed on the new PC trial

• How do I change the program used to open mailto links in windows 8

• When I long press on a link, in addition to opening a box of context, it also opens the link in this window. How can I get JUST the context window appears?

  I'm an avid user of pocket and I like to scroll through the different blog sites and save articles to read later. In general, I have been using Google Chrome browser that forces me to open each section in a different tab and then share this article to the Pocket to save him. I was delighted when I found the firefox browser has worked very well and even supported Add ons. I decided to try it, but have encountered a major problem. When I press a link to share, instead of a context window appear and the site remains the same, a context window opens while the site loads the link. When I right click on a link in my browser, it does not mean I want to go to this link, so I do not know why the same procedure would cause the mobile browser to do so. Is there a way I can press a link without having to open the link in this tab?

  Well, it's silly, but it's the best I could come up with:

  I tested this on Gizmodo: when the menu press and hold appears, instead of lifting the finger pointing upwards, slide it downwards a little, right next to the link, before you lift your finger on the glass. Then the script on the page detects a "mouse up" (or equivalent event) on the link. It works for you?

  I know that you cannot see the link in the menu, but one or two lines of text height will usually do.

  Would probably be wise for Firefox cancel all events associated with touching the link once the menu is displayed. Or to make sure that the site includes as a right-click (that seems more difficult). I have not checked to see if ideas along these lines have been filed in the bug tracking system.

  Edit: Tested on a Nexus 5 (LG).
