File dialog will not open

Recently, I tried to add an attachment to an email from Yahoo in Firefox. When I need to click on "Attach files", the bar at the top of my window of Firefox (where him minimize, maximize, and close buttons are) flash and nothing would happen. No file dialog opens. I tried my school Zimbra account. No attachment dialog.

I've tried Chrome. The same problem.

(I find earlier that Internet Explorer has allowed me to attach a file by using the same e-mail Yahoo account.) But I think that the type of file that is called in IE browser is different...)

Anyway, I gave up and did something else on my computer. When I would try to open a file in some programs, the dialogue which should open for me to select a file from my system will not be open.

For example, when I open 7zip and select ' File/open', nothing happens (sometimes at the edge of the window begins to blink). Same thing happens in Jnes, WinRAR, OpenOffice and Adobe Reader, among others. Or if I install something and you try to select the path by clicking on 'Browse', nothing happens.

But then programs like Paint.NET, Reaper and above Internet Explorer open a file dialog to select a file to open.

I tried to remedy this by installing the latest version of Java, but Data Execution Prevention kept stopping. Since I got him to "AlwaysOff" via the command prompt. Turn off DEP enabled me to install Java, but does not solve my problem of dialog box.

What else could be wrong?

I did a restore of the system to a point before that my problem started. the problem may be due to an add-on for firefox which put bookmarks on multiple lines, but that is only a guess.

    I was sent a "wav" file, but it does not open because it says that there is no program associated with the file.

    .wav files will open with Windows Media Player. If there is an attachment in the e-mail message, follow these steps. If it is already on your hard drive, just skip step 1.

    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.

  • PDF files suddenly will not open and I get a message on the scanner and cameras.

    Gremlins maybe but I can longer open PDF attachments or files stored on my directories. Instead, I get a message asking if I want to add a scanner or a camera. How can I fix it?

    Thank you

    You have a program installed that can open pdf files, for example, Adobe Reader, Adobe Pro, Foxit Reader, etc. ?

    Assuming that you do - because you were able to open pdf files previously - maybe the file association is damaged.

    Right click on a pdf file, then choose open with > choose program

    If you see your pdf reader app that is listed, select it.  Otherwise, click on the Browse button and find the exe file and click 'open '.  For example, the exe for Adobe Reader is named AcroRd32.exe andtypically will be in

    C:\Program NN.n\Reader of Adobe

    After selecting the appropriate exe file, you should achieve the selection window.  Don't forget to check the box "Always use the program selected for this type of file", and then click OK.

  • Windows 8 file Explorer will not open tasks/metro UI bar more it restarts my flashes of my taskbar as if it crashed

    Whenever I click on Explorer of the taskbar or the metro UI, it restarts my taskbar and Explorer ever arises. But when I (drag and drop) or right-click and select a PIN Explorer of files in the folder / location seems to work. File Explorer seems to be very well with my other programs when opening a specific folder.

    He seemed to have solved it for me.  I went through each extension to explore one by one and off to see if it was a sub-process that is causing the violation.   Finally, I hit 'SageThumbs' an extension of image viewer that I had used on Windows 7.  It seems that it was not completely compatible with Win 8 in time so I removed it and everything what it is stable agan.   I am very surprised that explore runs in such a fashion, not secure.  If this is still happening for you, look in your shell extensions, they can be the culprit.

  • files Panel will not open when using point to the file

    I use Dreamweaver CS6 on a Windows 7 desktop machine.

    The issue I'm having is that when I select some text on a page and click on the target of the file icon to create a link to the files Panel closes.

    I only found one other report of what happens when I searched online, so it doesn't seem to be a common problem.

    I think I may need to reinstall the program. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

  • RAW files will not open [cannot open files of Canon T6i Raw in CS5]

    using ps cs5 and files raw will not open and the dng converter does not recognize cr2 files. says I need update the file raw to 9 but cannot find new and do not know where to put it if I do. have spent days with this and going in circles. I hope someone here can help. camera is canon T6i... Thank you

    says I need update to 9 raw file but couldn't find new

    Devices supported by Adobe Camera Raw

    Camera Raw plugin and Adobe application compatibility

    The T6i has been fully supported by Camera Raw 9, but this version is only compatible with CS6 and Cloud versions. You will never be able to open files Raw T6i in CS5. If you choose not to join the Cloud, then you will need to use the DNG Converter.

    the dng converter does not recognize cr2 files.

    This isn't how the DNG Converter.

    The DNG Converter batch converts folders of Raw files to DNG. Put your CR2 files in a folder ready for conversion, then point the DNG Converter on the folder containing Raw files and let it do its thing. You can then open the DNG files in CS5.

  • Textures ATF files will not open in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014

    It is my understanding that this program opens the files of ATF textures. However, I have several sheets of game sprite in FAT format that CC 2014 will not open. I should add a particular plugin? If Yes, where can I download it? I use the program on a machine Windows 8.1. This is the dialog box, that I got while trying to open the ATF:

    PS CC 2014 msg box.jpg

    Other formats such as PNG and JPG image open very well. You have a list of image formats that this program will open up, and a list of all not supported? It would help me greatly. CC 2014 to display and manipulate ATF ability was the main reason in the first place, I downloaded the program. If CC 2014 will not see ATF or convert them to PNG, do you (or can you suggest) a Windows desktop application that will be? Thank you.

    I have Adobe Air installed and found an ATF2PNG.air conversion utility online. Does exactly what I need to. Works like a charm!

  • How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

    What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

    I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

    Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

    Thank you all!

    Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

    Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.
