  Windows cannot open this file: GLBD4EA.tmp

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

  What do you do?

  -Use the web service to find the appropriate program
  -Select a program from a list of installed programs

  No selection works for me. I don't know what concerns the .tmp file, or why I need to open it.

  Please help :)

• Error message "Windows cannot open this file" for all .exe files.

  I have talked with agents of cat and directly by e-mail to a person called Betty to and followed the steps all the recommended without correcting this problem. I can only run a .exe file in a folder. Any attempt to run an exe from Windows XP - Pro results in a box with the above mentioned error. He also said "to open this file, Windows needs to know what kind of program created." It is now more than a month to get this resolved. It only allows me to easily perform some maintenance and even investigations when necessary. This is the only problem I have with my system. I used AVG 2011 to clean my system to any virus or Trojan horse, and he pointed out that there is no intrusion. This sounds like there should be a simple solution because nothing else is affected. I am very frustrated not to find a solution after such a long time.

  Stan Hart

  If you are sure that your system is clean of any virus and you have tried the steps mentioned to restore registry and still not be able to open any exe file you can try the method below:

• 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.

• 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

  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.

• Click on the link-get "Windows cannot open the file" select a program?

  After clicking on link get "Windows cannot open this file" have to manually "selecta program programs installed" Firefox appears as a choice and I double-click. How can I solve this problem / eliminate these extra steps
  ? Thank you Joe
  I am running Windows XP, MS office Outlook 2007

  Is it a link in an e-mail message in Outlook? This problem arises from time to time.

  While Firefox can usually set himself as the proper application to open the URL, you click in other programs, settings are sometimes blur or do not take. This article has tips to solve this problem: setting Firefox as the default browser does not work - what to do. Anything there help?

  If the problem persists, is there something special about how you start Firefox? For example, you have this launch in a security 'sandbox' or virtual machine? You have all the command-line options set to allow several simultaneous sessions of Firefox, or call the Profile Manager? If none of this sounds familiar to you, the answer is probably not.

  Original title: dvd burner does not work can not load the driver

  I get this message "windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged.

  Can someone help me?

  Hi Garry_x,

  1. were you able to use the DVD burner before with no problems?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer recently?

  This can occur when more than one service is defined for a device, if there is a failure at the opening of the service registry entry, or if the driver name cannot be obtained from the service registry entry.

• Generation error message PDF: cannot open the file for the generation of a frame (Version 7.2) PDF book

  Hello

  I'm transforming a book in PDF and I get the error message unable to open a file (... < Filename > FM) and the dialog box unavailable fonts also appears. The tricky thing is that I converted the same book in PDF just a couple of days. Now, when I tried to do it again, I'm getting the above mentioned error message. I have tried if you deselect the file > Prefrences > General > remember checkbox missing fonts too. However, it did not help to generate the PDF file. I will be grateful if someone offers a workaround solution for this issue. Thanks in advance.

  Usually, deselection Remember lack of fonts work.

  The missing fonts message when you or FrameMaker opens the file. The solution is to open all the files in the book, or at least those with the "missing" font, clear the message for each file. Now print the book in PDF format, while keeping open files. It usually works because you already erased the messages of missing fonts.
