Files open with laptop instead of Adobe

Whenever I have download a file that is supposed to open with Adobe, Notebook, opens instead, and it is encrypted so I can't read it.  Someone out there who like helps to STOP!  Adobe reader 9.4 software whatever, whatever, whatever.  I HATE this freaking computer!

Original title: Oh my God, I'm going to kill someone! __

This program is portable? I'm not familiar with it.

Have you tried Foxit? I gave up on Adobe years ago.

    Sound like you may be using Windows. Please check your windows Photoshop.exe registry key which version of Photoshop is open and edit with?  I remember that mine have been updated to 2015 CC but I changed the back ventilated at the 2014 to CC are many bugs in 2015 of CC. I also changed my Windows file associations to open with CC 2014.  I left Adobe Bridge file types associations 2015 CC.  There are simply too many places in Windows systems which appear to be involved with open with and file Associations.

  • Why all my programs and files open with Microsoft word?

    All my programs and files open with Microsoft Word and I need to know how to change that?

    I've seen that happen before when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After Word selection using the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file, the Word document referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in Word, as it should.

    The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the browser will want to be opened by Word. This is known as a file association. . The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely.

    This has happened enough that a small utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is a registry hack to do this, but I recommend the utility unLNK for its ease of use.

    I used to send people on another site to download this utility, but this site has become confused with all the ads and fake download links. I put a copy on by SkyDrive own here.

    Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

    Hello JohnDeCastro,

    Thank you for posting.

    Ppl repeatedly face problems when opening. EXE files.

    • The EXE file opens in Notepad.
    • EXE file opens in a few other installed programs.
    • Windows displays the 'Open with' dialog box to select the program.
    • Windows displays the error message "Windows cannot find .exe file. Make sure you typed the name correctly.

    Most of the time it happens when you accidentally replace. Type of exe to Folder Options settings. Sometimes, it can happen due to the virus.

    In any case no need to worry. Here's a solution that will fix this annoying problem:

    1. open RUN command prompt by typing the command in the dialog box.

    2 provide now following command:

    cd\windows

    3 it will activate the Windows folder. Now provide following command to open the Registry Editor:

    Regedit

    4 now goto following key:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe

    In the right pane, change the value of default elements exefile key

    5 now goto:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Exefile\Shell\Open\Command

    In the right pane, change the value of the default key to:

    "%1" %*

    6 that's it. Now, quit the registry editor and restart your Windows. Now you should be able to open EXE files without any problem.

    Please let me know if this helps you.

  • PDF files opens with Adobe Reader.

    When I double click on a file PDF Adobe Reader opens to a blank screen for a few seconds and then closes.  The same files open fine with Expert PDF software.

    Three things to try...

    1. Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, and then double-click Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    2. You can open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try to disable the Protected Mode [Edit |] Preferences | (Improved) security].
    3. It might even be a malware problem; See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

    To start my computer opens with letters replaced by symbols.  I ran antivirus, antimalware, etc. and finally went to the restoration of the system, and allows a point of restoring a couple of days before returning to the letters.  A few days later, the same problem occurred.  No, the system restore has no previous restore points available dates and I'm stuck.

    HI AskDrL (and this also applies to the DrLHP - but you should follow the advice of the PA bear and not post back here if it does not help you - unless I suspect you two are really the same person with two usernames).

    Try a clean boot (Vista and W7) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once don't forget to reset your system back to the normal state, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work. If you are using XP, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434.

    Try starting mode safe mode with networking to see if the problem is here.  If this isn't the case, we have little room to work.

    Check the display properties to make sure that fonts and styles are correct:

    In XP, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/140752/en-us.

    In Vista, see http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/78281-advanced-appearance.html

    In Windows 7, see [2] http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/282-window-color-appearance-change.html?filter = appearance

    Check the locale and language to ensure that they do not appear in something weird and are set to standard English with normal fonts.

    Check Device Manager to see if there are problems with the video or monitor.  Whether (or not), go to the manufacturer of the computer or a web page of the manufacturer of the device and get the latest driver, firmware or software for the video card and monitor that are appropriate for your devices and your operating system.  To update all that is available and there is place and then reboot and see if that helps.

    If this does not work, I recommend repost you in the Windows Forum where experts in this will be more than happy to help you: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/desktop?page=1&tab=all&tm=1300700638376 but first, to the top, where it says Windows Version, use the dropmenu to select your, then you will find yourself in the appropriate forum for your system.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    P.S. If you are the same person, then you should uninstall it and use on McAfee removal tool as having AVG installed at the same time and it can cause disorders and problems - I doubt that what we see here, but it still needs to be done.  After normal uninstallation of McAfee, use the removal tool to get rid of leftovers: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507.  I don't know if this will solve the problem, but this should be done in any case that is likely to cause other problems on the road later.

  • Links hypertext files open with Pro even if the player is default PDF application

    Hello.

    I have a Windows 2008 Server x 64 I installed Adobe Pro X and Adobe Reader X on. I installed Pro first, then the reader, both with MST files, so that the reader is the default PDF reader. Drive indicates that the default program and if you double-click a PDF document, Reader opens indeed. However, if a hyperlink in Word or some other points of the document to a PDF, Adobe Pro file opens instead. I need to drive the default application for all references to the PDF files, but I have to keep Pro and Reader installed on the server at the same time.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Now, it is English so that the problem has been supported. I also had to disable the protected mode to resolve the outstanding issues. Seems ok now.

  • How can I make my files open with the section 'files' (on the left) already enabled (in Windows Explorer)?

    I'm on Windows XP with Service Pack 4.  The "show common tasks in folders" checked in folder options and my windows Explorer opens with the "common tasks" bar on the left side.  I have to click on 'files' (in the top tool bar) to get my files to display on the left.  If I click on "use Windows classic folders" instead of "Show common tasks in folders" my explore opens with no left bar at all and I still click on 'files' to have folders appear in the position of the left side bar.  Can I solve this case everytime I open windows Explorer opens on the side bar of folders on the left and content on the right?  If Yes, where and how do the default every time I open windows Explorer?  Thanks for any help, that all the world can offer.

    Thank you very much.  This has not only had what I wanted, but also extend this ability to any file folder I click on.  What I was really doing was: I saved a link to a set of "my computer" window microsoft explore my d: drive (my data partition) so it automatically goes to what I look at in explore more often rather than having open 'my computer' and go through several steps to get to the open D: partition.  But I still had to push the button of "folders" at the top of the page to open the view in the left bar of my directories - every time.  With your help my link now opens windows Explorer set up exactly the way I want every time!  You have saved me from countless steps repetative in the future for every time I open windows Explorer.

    Thank you once again,

  • All files opening with the same program?

    Earlier today, I went to open a .zip with WinRar file. I've done this before and nothing is wrong, but this time, I noticed that all my desktop icons have changed and each of them were by opening with WinRar. It is especially annoying because I managed to download a Spanish version of WinRar somehow and do not include any of the popups.
    I saw others asking the same thing and answers telling to go in Control Panel > programs > default programs > Set Program Access and computer by default, but I can't get there, because I don't know what program I open with.
    I don't know if this has any sense at all and I feel stupid for not knowing all this, but some help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Most likely, you have associated shortcuts (.lnk files) with WinRAR.  Although it is also possible that you have associated executables (.exe files) too (or instead).  Fortunately, both can be fixed.

    Here on this page is a list of all common file types.
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html

    Scroll down and look for LNK files, click on him and it will download a file from the registry.  Save this file to your desktop and run it to import the registry changes.  Restart when it's done and I hope that it will be all solved.

    Hello

    Please contact us to help you with your concern.

    Try the following and check whether you can open all files.

    Method 1:

    You can try to change the default program or the file association and check:

    Visit this link to learn more about 'The change that uses the Windows default programs'.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default

    Method 2:

    Try the steps from the following link and check:

    Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-your-files

    When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

    Method 3:

    I might suggest to run a full scan with your anti-virus/anti-malware software and see if you find something. If necessary you can also use the Microsoft Safety Scanner:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Hope the helps of information.
