How can we change the types of files in Vista?

I'm changing a. WAV (file audio .wav) in one. JPG (JPEG image file)
I remember you can easily do in XP, but Vista gives me some problems
Thanks in advance for your time

I wish you had said this in the first place. It would have saved me time going haring Google trying to find something that would work. No wonder I couldn't understand how you were converting an audio file to an image file. Next time be more come on your final goals.

Vista can display the file extension like any other Windows operating system. Go to control panel > Classic view > Folder Options > tab display uncheck the checkbox "Hide extensions of known file types". Apply/OK outside. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    How can I change the type of image file to download on a site like walmart or walgreens for printing?

    In general, they will accept the image in the format, that it was taken (if it was taken by the majority of cameras or cell phones).  But if so, you have a few options.

    The most simple and integrated solution is Microsoft Paint.  Yes it is from the 1980s, but it still works and changes of a good job for a time.  Just to right click on the photo file, choose open with and choose paint.  Then go to file > save as and save this return as the file type you want it to be (like PNG or BMP or JPG, quality declining in the JPG option).

    If you need more options like changing the quality he uses during conversion, another free option (of the very very many) is Paint.NET, an open source free image editing program. http://www.dotPDN.com/downloads/PDN.html

    There are also programs that can do it in bulk, so you can highlight 300 photos and do convert them all at once.  You can do this for free or with tools like Photoshop.

  • How can I change the unrecognizable FrameMaker file format?  Why has he become unrecognizable after changing the file name?

    I update an existing project in the FrameMaker10, which is located in a structure of book.  I changed the names of the files in the directory, they upgrade 11 FrameMaker and saved.  When I try to add them to the book (whose name I also updated) a problem for some files. When I try t add them to the book file, I get an error message that says that the book file is unrecognizable.  (It allows me to add it, but it appears in the file book with an icon that has a blue "M" in there.)  Why is that happening and how can I change these files to normal FrameMaker files?  Thank you.

    Try to open the problem files using a text editor or viewer of files to see what the first bytes contain. Contains all the binary files valid FM FM 11 in the first bytes of the file.

    During the updating of the books, it is sometimes better just to create a new address book file and add files to it.

    When you rename files in a book, changes at the level of the system will break any links/cross-references between files, so it is always best to use the option rename book in the file to change the names of files FM. This will keep the correct links.

  • How can I change the type of chassis in an existing CompactRIO project?

    Hello

    I have a built in LabView 8.2 for a chassis 9101 cRIO. Now, I want to bring to LabView 2009 and use it on a chassis of 9104. I would have thought this should be simple, but there is a VI on the FPGA itself. When you compile, I get the error "the device type that has been set up in this function does not match the actual type of the device. I don't want to have to remove the frame of the project & add it back (losing all the settings it can have) - is there a way just to change the type of target, but keeping the relevant parameters?

    Thanks for any help!

    Dave

    Hi Dave,.

    Once you've practiced it several times it is actually a piece of cake.

    Right click on the project select new target or device

    Rember just to specify rather than the current goal.

    Otherwise, you will have a conflict.

    The new target is initialized to the Ip (0,0,0,0) then re address assignment standard.

    Copy (drag) all the components for the new device (RT & FPGA if included)

    Note it's manual labor rather than you have to 'say' labview what material he must understand!

  • How can I change the icons of file movie back to screenshots instead of the folder view changing vlc cone already tried

    I have two granddaughters, 5 and 4, who can't read yet, and I did something that I can't fix. I run Win7, Google Chrome, and VLC is my default player. In the past, the icons of file movie (cartoon) were screenshots, and girls can choose what they looked at. Help please, because the girls are old enough to believe that I REALLY want to verbally list the entire (hundreds) of their shows list EVERY 30.60, or 90 minutes.

  • How can I change the type of a set of shapes alreade created, for example the button radio for checkbooks,.

    In collaboration with Acrobat 9 Pro. I have an old pdf without forms and let Acrobat Pro, identify and create forms. A set of them became the boxes where I wanted radio buttons. Can I change the shape without removing formas them and create new ones?

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to convert the form fields to another type directly in Acrobat. The only way you can do that is to recreate them as new fields in the same place.

    This can be done manually or using a script like this, I developed: Scripts custom Adobe: Acrobat - convert the Type of form field

  • How can I change the columns in File-> Open views program?

    I use El Capitan 10.11.3 on a MacBook Pro. I start with a clean system. I copied my files from my backup and reinstall my programs.

    This created a problem, seeking to resolve by changing the column headings in the views of program "file-> open.

    Whatever program I use, when I open a file, the window displays currently "Date added". It is of no use to me as the "Date added" to all my files is exactly the same - date, I have copied them on my own hard drive brilliant from my backup.

    In finder views, I can opt to display "update" instead of "added". So I order the files by date, whenever this is useful.

    However, whenever I try to open a file in a program, it is impossible to find things by date, because they all have the same "date added". I need to be able to see the "change date".

    I find anywhere that allows me to change this, either in the system preferences, or when opening a specific program. Don't I found clues to aid or the forum.

    Can someone tell me what I need to do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Mike

    Right click on the headers (if in list view) and select the headers you want to see.

    Alternatively, use the Arrangement to organize the desired date.

  • How can I change the attributes read-only or system files?

    How can I change the attributes read-only or system files?

    To view or to remove the read-only or system attributes, use the Attrib command at a command prompt:

    1. click the Start button, type cmd in the search box and press ENTER.

    2. to view the syntax for the Attrib command, Type attrib------? at the command prompt.

    WARNING: If you remove the read-only or a file system attribute, it may seem like a regular folder and some customizations may be lost. For example, Windows customizes the Fonts folder and provides a special folder view that allows you to hide variations, such as bold and italics. It also allows you to change the display settings of the file in a way that is specific to fonts. If you remove the read-only attributes and the Fonts folder system, these custom display settings not available. For folders that you have customized by using the tab, customize the folder properties dialog box, the folder icon and other other customizations may be lost when you remove the read-only attribute.

    If a program cannot save files to a folder with read-only, such as My Documents, change the read-only to the system attribute by using the Attrib command at a command prompt.

    To remove the read-only attribute and to set the system attribute, use the following command:

    attrib - r + s drive:------------.

    For example, to remove the read-only attribute and set the attribute to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command: attrib - r + s c:\test

    Be aware that some programs may not work correctly with folders for which the read-only attribute and the system attribute are granted. You can use the following command to remove these attributes:

    attrib - r-s c:\test
