• How to change a default program to open the file instead of Widnows Media Player

  Original title: Media Player

  Windows Media Player opens many of my files (which in fact cannot be opened).  What can I do to make the Media Player ceases to be the default to open my files?  I can't even open Internet Explorer because Media Player wants to open.

  Hello

  By the description, I understand that Windows Media Player is been activated as default program to open all the files.

  You can change (set another program as default) your default program following the steps mentioned below:

  1. open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.
  2. click on associate a type of file or Protocol with a program.
  3. click on the file type or protocol that you want the program to act as the default value.
  4. click on the change agenda.
  5. click on the program that you want to use by default for the selected file type, or click the arrow next to other programs to show other programs. (If you don't see other programs or your program is not listed, click Browse to find the program you want to use, and then click Open. If no other programs are installed that are able to open the type of file or Protocol, your choice will be limited.)

• I can't open anything without: "choose which program you want to use to open the file with" and "Application not found".

  I got a used computer and it worked fine for a while. I guess that I did something for her, because now I had a problem with the opening just like files and almost all of the icons in the start menu. I found someone had mentioned this on another post, but it has not been answered and I have the same problem:

  "I don't know what to do. I tried reseting IE back to its "settings by default, but nothing seems to work. It doesn't let me open any programs on my computer. I can't even find the virus because there asking what program I want to open it with and when to choose IE he sent me through a series of 'SAVE or RUN' windows and then back to the "choose a program you want to run the file with.» I am only able to access the internet via a shortcut of Internet Explorer button that I dragged on the start menu, because the original one on my desk does not open. »

  It's the best way I can explain this problem. I've had this problem for a while now and I have looked everywhere for an answer and still nothing. It would be great to get help, thank you!

  After much research, I found the answer here:

  This problem has not helped me with my problems to download iTunes correctly, that's why I set out to solve this problem in the first place. I also get a lot of it popping up every 10 minutes:

  "MobileDeviceService has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. »

  The error signature is always:

  szAppName: AppleMobileDeviceService.exe szAppVer: 17.88.0.8

  szModName: kernel32.dll szModVer: 5.1.2600.5781 offset: 00012afb

  It won't do anything when I click to send error report or not, it does not close anything as it is normally would. I think it might have something to do with the steps I took to reinstall iTunes properly...

  And

  1. I use Microsoft Windows xp Version 5.1, at least that's the stuff I wrote, do not know if this is the answer you're looking for. I am not sure computers.

• From today, Firefox will not open the files Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Reader, despite my player put as a default value in the Applications tab.

  Until today, I had no trouble opening the files Adobe Acrobat with Adobe Reader 9.5. (I need to use an older version of Adobe Reader, because I use a program called Macro Express, which does not recognize later versions.) As of this morning, when I click on a file Acrobat, I wonder what program I want to open it with. Even when I click on 'do this automatically... ". ', it is not doing. He asks me every time. I went to tools, Applications and changed all the questions to open with Adobe Reader related 9.5 pdf. This also does not work.

• Download a file should implement an option to open the file or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else?

  Download a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It is very frustrating - sometimes, you want the first opened file so it can be discarded or stored in a different location.

  Find the type of file in the Firefox -> Options -> Applications Panel, open its menu drop-down and select 'ask '. To reset all the actions of download, delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in your Firefox profile folder (or rename the mimeTypes.rdf X if you want to save as a backup). The file will be regenerated with all types of files, restore the default actions.

  For more information, see application Panel - set how Firefox handles different file types and change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file .

• How to search the content of the file to open a file from an application?

  

  For example, most of the Windows applications, if I open a file in this application, I type the exact filename for character character in order to open this file. How can I set my computer to find just what I type, whether it's the file name, or a Word document? You will notice in my picture I typed QZ04, which is actually the name of a file that is not supported, but then I tried looking for a supported file and got the same dialog box. Is this a problem with the functionality of the application or the computer has itself?

  I use a HP with Windows 7 p6325a computer if that helps. Thanks in advance

  This is the program.  The box of files of type down below is actually a display filter. If the programmer who built allows it, you can change this to "all files" instead.  But it is the one who built the program.

  But yes - you must type a name of file right here.  The person who wrote the program that you are using has not provided to you with a search box.  If they had, you would have seen this instead:

• When I try to open Firefox and explore, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file.

  Original title: open Firefox and explore

  When I leave early to Mozilla Firefox or Explorer, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file. When I do, I get a security warning asking if I really want to do. If I check "Run", I get redirected to the previous list, and I find myself in a circle without end. It does not matter what choice to make. Used to be that I went from starting Firefox directly.  I can get in if I have Firefox right click and choose to run the file as an administrator and then give permission to open the program. How can I cut these two additional and direct access, that I used to enjoy. I run Vista. The same thing happens if I have to explore. Would be grateful for the help.

• Error "could not open the file" *. " INDD. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format is maybe missing or the file may be open in another application."

  How do I solve this problem

  "Could not open the file" *. " INDD. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format is maybe missing or the file may be open in another application."

  It turns out that a Windows computer has been infected by a virus that worked its way to the server. We zapped the virus and restore the backup files.

• Media Player open the files in several seconds in them instead of from the beginning of their.

  I use Media Player 12 on Windows 7 64it. Whenever I double click on a media file, Media Player successfully opens the file, but begins to play about 10 to 30 seconds in the file.  I then have to manually, drag the seek button so the file actually starts at the beginning. What type of file. No matter if the file is .wma, .mp3, .avi .mkv,... etc, it always does. Can I use Microsoft Expression Encoder to create a new .wmv file and Media Player will always do.  It is not a problem with the music or video files themselves.  The only plugin I have installed is the Last.fm plugin I've used for years without problem. The problem persists even if I disable this plugin, so it is not related to one or the other.  Please let me know if there is a setting I can verify or something somewhere I can change to get media player to read correctly. All the other media players on the PC work 100% correctly (VLC, MPHC, Roxio, DivX, etc.), but I prefer using Media Player. However, it's boring trying to watch a new movie and suddenly you are thrown in the middle of a scene without having the beginning. Any help would be appreciated.

• PCOC File: Open trying to use ANY OTHER APPLICATION to open the file

  Hello

  I'm on Dreamweaver CC and when I go to open a file it tried to use my CS5, CS5.5 CS6 and finally the versions of Dreamweaver CS4 to open the file (.cfm). I uninstalled ALL the files and now, when in Dreamweaver CC I go to file: it opens automatically open Apple numbers, tries to open the file.

  Anyone know how to open a file with Dreamweaver and get Dreamweaver to open it actually?

  Thanks in advance,

  Rich

  PCOC deletion support in ColdFusion. You are supposed to get the Adobe CF Builder now.

• Open the file on a PC for iPad

  Is it possible to bind a document .pdf on my iPad 2 to a file on a PC that is on the same WiFi network? In other words: I have a document .pdf on the iPad, which contains links to files on the PC. Can I set up so that I can click on the link embedded in the .pdf and open the file on the PC? If so, how do I?

  Essentially, I have a lot of music files on the PC, and I'd like to power their cue and play of the iPad. Is there a better way to do so, an application perhaps?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Of course, there is an app for that: iTunes.

• Opening the files in the right pane of Windows Explorer

  For the last two weeks, when I double click on a folder in the right pane of Windows Explorer, a video look at an application tries to load the file instead of just opening the folder.  I looked at the files Types tab in the tools, Options menu, without a bit of luck and I watched the application tries to load and find nothing has.  I think it started after an automatic Windows Update (although I have that turned off, it still works, of course).

  To see what is going to happen, I uninstalled the video look at an application to ensure that nothing in putting in place this program which has been the problem and now a Windows Search window opens when you double-click on any given folder!

  Any ideas on how to prevent this?
