How install .man files or other files that Windows does not recognize?
I found my own answer. I write just in case someone else has a similar problem.
I tried to install the software on my computer that was supposed to be a "msi" file and installed as a file ".man". Basically, Windows does not recognize some types of codes that install files can install as. Microsoft Help and chat live did not help, so I called my dad and the solution is relatively simple: change the type of file manually.
1) go to control panel
(2) search of Folder Options and open it.
(3) uncheck Hide file extensions
(4) go to which the file was saved (make a copy of it to the case where)
(5) change the endpoint in .msi or your type of file of choice
6} window opens asking if you want to change the file type, and then click ok.
I hope this helps someone as lost as I was!
Thank you
Bradley
Well, .man is not a valid file for installers type, so now the question is why the hell gave you a .man as installation file first. You can inform the place you have setup of.

(1) on the last stage Setup lets you start Firefox, if you keep all of the checkbox "Launch Firefox now", turns on Firefox when you click on "Finish"?
(2) how did you launch Firefox when you receive the error message? How do you 'by clicking on the freshly installed target Firefox.exe?
(3) what is the exact error message? (Post a screenshot if you cannot re-type precisely). Text you have posted it lacks an ending quotation mark and does not resemble any message I know.

My pc says that windows does not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM. It is said it can be repaired by using the original installation CD, but we do not have. Any ideas please?
The file is missing or corrupt is one of your files in the system registry.
By far, the best way to recover from this is to go to another computer and create a free Hirens Boot CD.
Download Hirens: <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ > (link at the bottom of the icon of the disk)
Hirens CD burning <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/burning/ >Once you create the CD, and then start your system of problem with this CD. In the first window, select "Mini Windows XP" and wait for the system to start. When it starts, go to the Hirens Boot CD menu and select
Register-> Registry Restore Wizard.
then follow the prompts. This wizard will return a copy of your registry database from backups that are stored with your system restore points. After the restoration, stop, remove the CD and restart.When you start your system, it is recommended to perform a system restore operation to ensure the consistency of your system

I have improved the previous version of firefox to the new firefox v.4 and now all the shortcut icons I used with the previous version display a pop-up dialog box that says that windows does not find this website, check the spelling - address - etc. But immediately after this window opens the Web site loads. I tried to load the original site, delete the old shortcut and drag the new shortcut to my desktop, but Firefox always gives me the same message.

Clip don't disconnect but Windows says that it does not recognize it?
I loaded my Clip - when I pick up the computer, it shows that its connected and it will not power off - the screen which shows just its connected to the computer and fully charged, also when I plug it into the computer, I get a message that says: "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it." and told me to try to reconnect the device. I've updated the firmware. I just bought this in September-Help!
With the Sansa unplugged, press and hold power button for 20 seconds, then exit (Clip +), or slide the switch to the position and take it 20 seconds (Clip).
Then try to turn on normally.
If the video freezes, it is unable to properly communicate with the host computer in the USB bus.

Windows does not recognize the .themepack files
Hello
Microsoft, I downloaded several .themepack files. I have Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit), and it does not recognize the files. In other words, when I click on the files, they do not open and install.
" Strangely, when I click the .themepack file properties, it says"Opens with"the" Windows Shell common DLL. "Still more strangely, when I go in the file Extensions Manager in Control Panel, the .themepack extension does not appear.
I tried to reboot, etc. Is there a way to fix this? Otherwise, there is a long workaround solution that I can do to get funds from the .themepack file and install it manually?
Hi harpsichord,.
Can you check something:
- Press the Windows key + R > type regedit and press enter
- Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.themepack
- Make sure that there is no key UserChoice (subfolder)
