How can I find the appropriate program I should use to open a file downloaded from the internet?

I saved an acknowledgement of the internet to a file on my computer so I could print later, now when I try to open my computer asks me what program to use.  Any program I try it says that it is not able to open the file. How to find the right program to open my file?

Hi Grace,

I understand that you are facing problems with opening a file in your computer.

We need more information to help you in a better way.

1. What is the file extension of the file you're trying to open?
2 is the issue limited to this file?
3. are you able to open the file in Internet Explorer?

Your computer would not program to open that particular file format.

You can see the following articles for reference.

    How can I find out what programs I should have started and what are the programs I can start myself to my computer to run correctly when starting?

    Hello

    I understand you want to learn about programs, you should start your Windows startup. I will certainly help you to question.

    When you start Windows by using a normal startup startup, several applications and services automatically, and then run in the background. These programs include the base system, antivirus software, utility applications processes system and other software that was previously installed. These applications and services may cause interference when you install or run a program.

    The system configuration is a tool that can help identify problems that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. You can start Windows with common services and startup programs turned off and then reactivate them, one at a time.

    I suggest you to refer to the links below and check if this is useful:

    Using the Configuration System (msconfig)

    Perform a clean boot to determine if background programs interfere with your game or program

    Hope this information helps.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    Go in run and msconfig!

    Under the control of services tab hide all microsoft processes
    These are the programs that are running at startup you can go through the menu of your program and configure each individually to run at startup.
    If you decide it's not worth having to go to control panel and then programs and then decide to uninstall the program.
    If you decide to use your drive to factory restore do not forget to install the programs you need.

    Sorry, your message is very confused. DNS is not something you
    purchase. There are many around the world DNS servers and they (at
    least one of them) are something that you use, not own.

    Here's how a DNS server is used. We tend to think of the URL as addresses
    web sites, but in reality they are not. The address is really an IP address
    address. Your browser will automatically use a DNS server is a quick glance upward and
    definition of the URL that you enter (for example, microsoft.com) to its IP address
    address (207.46.197.32).

    So please explain what you want to accomplish and for what purposes.

  • How can I find the WEP key for my wireless network so that I can connect to it?

    How can I find the WEP key

    Steps to find a WEP key:

    1. open a browser (the program used to access the internet). The following process worked for me when using the

    Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera browsers, although I'm not sure it will work for other browsers (for example

    Chrome, Safari etc.).

    2 type the following in the address bar of the browser. If you use a Linksys router type in "192.168.1.1" and if

    using a type of router Belkin "192.168.2.1". The address bar is the area where the Web pages are typed. It is important

    When you enter there is NO http://www. before the numbers.

    3. If everything is is well past that should open a page which says that Linksys or Belkin.

    3. There may be the need of connection. When you use a Linksys if you don't know what are the user name and password, it may

    always be the factory settings and then enter "admin" for the username and "password" for the password. If you are using a

    Belkin router, the factory settings often come without password, click just send without having to type a password.

    4. click on one) "wireless" or b) "settings".

    5. click one) "Wireless security" or b) "wireless settings".

    6. There should be a page with a specified WEP key.

    7 writing it to the down/copy and use as you wish!

    How can I find out what programs are essential in the implementation, we can stop?

    Windows Home vista 32 premium

    Hey Stella-50,

    How slow is slow? For example, my machine (e-machine E4264 2.2 ghz with 2 GB RAM) boots in 95 seconds. For me, I call it, in the average. I am currently in the process of looking for a new machine because it is already 3 years old, so maybe that OEN will be slightly faster to start.

    What you can 'turn off' will depend on which in fact initially launches upward and, unfortunately, you have not told us that at this moment. Is that you should not disable your anti software anti-virus (updater). nothing to do with your mouse and your keyboard etc.

    Perhaps, if you made a list of what application are actually being run at startup (via the msconfig Startup tab) can someone take a look at them and see if, or what can be disabled.

    Otherwise, you might take a glance at Startup Delayer http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay to see if you can delay the time different applications load to allow windows to start up more quickly. I haven't used so I can't say how good/bad it is.  It's a freeware.

    Can I get a configuration of single language somewhere? How can I find the license key for my installation.

    Hi Mohammed'metwally,.

    Please answer this question to get more clarity on this issue.

    • The application or program that you use the partition of the drive?

    This problem may occur if the partition table is damaged or altered. As a result, the recovery partition does not work. I'm sorry to know that you are facing this problem.

    You will not get the unique language anywhere to download setting. You have an OEM computer that comes with the product key integrated into the BIOS. The product key of Windows 8 on new machines is now integrated in the machine. It uses the Secure Boot technology. When you perform a new installation of Windows 8, the installation program ask a product key and will be automatically get it from your system and proceed with the installation.

    As Windows 8 came pre-installed, you must contact the manufacturer of the computer with this problem for more help.
