In response to: you forgot to mention... by Critterlover723

I've also posted this issue on the Group Discussion of MS, and Jay Freedman posted this response, that WORKED! Yes Jay!

Click the FixIt button in the Microsoft article
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=940791. (The section of the article titled "fix it myself", explains what the button, but the button is easier).

Make sure that MS Word is not open, click the FixIt button, click on run and this program will set MS Word. When you open MS Word after running this program, you will be able to edit the files again.

  • 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.

  • My windows live Movie Maker has an ER code 0 x 80004005, cannot display viedo of camer after down load, that its there just will not be open for the show.

    After down loading the camera viedo, it will not be open for show, but it's there, ER (0x80004005) it says Director windows live how I do to reboot?

    Have a look at the last 3 letters of the video you've imported to Windows Live Movie maker (WLMM).
    That the last 3 letters represent the format of the video file. If the format is NOT supported by WLMM, he won't play it.

    Here are the formats supported by WLMM:
    Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

    If your video file format is not on the list above, google for a FREE video converter and it allows to convert your video file.
    The best format to convert is WMV. The most reliable and foo-proof format.

  • Network and sharing Center will not be open in the Panel

    I've been away from home - where I HSI and it works very well - for a few months, I plugged to the network sporadically awireless (sometimes just bad signal), with a lot of frustration.  A few days ago, I went to a place where I could connect to a hard (secure) wireless network and enjoyed the smooth navigation for about an hour.  Later when I tried to connect to the smaller network, unsecure, I couldn't open my network and sharing Center. Whether from the drawer or the Control Panel, a screen opens displaying nothing, but the circle of rotation.  The TASK MANAGER IS REQUIRED to CLOSE THE PAGE - it will not answer the close box. TM shows the centre network and sharing as 'running', although there is no indication on the screen, except the title and the circle of rotation.

    My laptop is a dv6t Pavilion with Windows 7 (64-bit)

    All the other files in the Panel seem to open and operate normally.

    Hello Hamanslayer

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I understand the network and sharing Center will not be open. I will do my best to help you! If please launch and center network and sharing, and wait for him so that he can provide an error. In addition, please try to run Centre network and sharing in a different user account. If you don't have one, create one.

    I did some research on this issue. Unfortunately, the only reliable troubleshooting that is remaining, if the above does not help, is to reinstall the operating system. Too, there are different issues that could be causing it. Reinstalling the operating system will focus on each of them.

    First, please save all the files you need. You can find specific steps on how to proceed in the following HP document: backup of files (Windows 7)

    Once this is done, you can safely reinstall the operating system. I'll also give you a document on how to do it: perform a recovery of the system (Windows 7) HP

    Please let me know your results. Thanks again for the display on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
