I can not download exe files. I have no trouble to download files with other extensions (ex: dta).

I have a HP Pavilion dm4-2070us computer running Windows 7.  I have the same problem with internet explore and Firefox.  The file seems to download but is never-ending; It is not in my downloads folder.

Hello number1stat,

try temporarily disabling your antivirus software and see if that helps, if it does not work then try the following.

This can happen if you have customized your Internet Options for the Internet zone security settings, if the option 'launch applications and dangerous files' is set to 'Disable '.

Method 1: Reset your security settings for the Internet zone to default level. Go to "Control Panel -> Internet Options" (or use the "Start-> Run-> inetcpl.cpl-> OK' to open 'Properties of Internet') and then click the Security tab, select the Internet zone and click on 'default '.

Method 2: Define a custom security in the Internet zone level. Go toControl Panel -> Options Internet -> Security (tab)-> Internet'. If the security is set to 'High', or if you have customized the Internet zone settings, select "custom level...". "and change the simple option,"Launch applications and dangerous files""Disable"to"invite (recommended).

If executable file downloads fail for some sites, but you are able to download from other sites exe files, check "Internet Options-> Security - > sites-> Sites" to ensure that problem site is not in the list of 'Sensitive Sites', by default, the security level for this zone is high. Some security, including Spybot S & D software, add sites to malicious software known to this list.

  • Cannot install the CD software, AutoPlay does not, can not see .exe files in windows Explorer

    I tried to load the software for a Microsoft mouse that I bought. When I loaded the CD in the drive, the Setup program did not start. When I looked at the content of the CD, it wasn't a setup.exe file. Tonight I tried to load TurboTax, and I'm having the same problem. I put the disc in a XP machine, the installation program starts right up and I see the installation files in Windows Explorer. I can't install it to work on my Vista computer.  When I right click on the drive, I don't get the option to install or run the program. It's as if she's even not recognize that there is a facility on the disk. I'm running Vista SP1 small business. I also downloaded windows a 4.5. No change. Help!

    Well, I am the furthest thing from a computer Wizard but I came across the solution to my problem and kklinger.  I recommend removing a program called "Xplay" from Mediafour.  There seems to be a MAC program and is the reason that the autorun is not complete.  Try this: 1. go to start, then Control Panel
    2. open "programs and features".
    3. scroll through the programs and see if you have the XPLAY under the title editor MACROVISION
    4 right click once a program to highlight, and then click "Uninstall/change" upward.
    5. (you may get a pop-up asking if it's OK continue.)  If so, click on "Allow")
    6. once the program is removed, you will need to restart your computer.

    It worked for me.  Good luck.

  • Could not open the file with. EXTENSION of ICA, where can I download this from without having to install all the other stuff that common sites ask you to

    looking for a download that will allow me to run a file with a. Extension of the ICA... There's sites but they all want to download their "registry fix" or "speed up your computer" etc.. .i want just the .ica ability... distant help you?

    Hi Trevorcollinge,

    File of the Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) used by the Citrix application servers; contains configuration information to connect to different servers; can be connected to a published application or a server's desktop environment.

    ICA files can be created with the ICA file creator program or a basic text editor.

    You can double-click an ICA file to open the virtual application remote or referenced by the file desktop environment. Note that you must have a Citrix client installed for the file to open correctly.

  • I can't open the files with the extension .wmv either... I use Windows XP

    When I receive files with file extension wmv I can't open them?  Why?

    Hottaye,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    You use Windows Media Player to access the .wmv file? If this isn't the case, follow these steps:

    1. save the WMV file on your disk.

    2. then, right click, click on Open withand then click Choose default program.

    3. in the open with dialog box, click Windows Media Player, and then click OK.

    In case you don't have it:

    Windows Media Player download

    You receive an error message?  Can you play other .wmv files that you do not receive as an attachment?  In Windows Media Player, play a different file that uses the same extension of file name as the file that you were using when you received the error message. If the other file plays correctly, then you try to play the original file may be damaged.

    I can't wait to hear back on your part.

  • Windows Search can not find any file with 'two letters'-'two letters', followed by the numbers i.e. FS-XP1234

    It's a weird thing, these files are located on a network drive, but I also tested in a local folder with the same results.

    Examples of questions:
    Folder containing the following files
    FS - XP12345.pdf
    FS - XP54321.txt
    124234Sample12.PDF
    If I where to look for "FS - XP" I'd get both the FS - XP * files as results, but as soon as I add a number to search (only using the letters), for example FS - XP5 I get nothing.
    Any other combination works and files that begin with the letters or numbers I can get the name of the entire file and it works.
    Only when it has 'two letters'-'two letters' followed by a number do get no results when you search for the name of the entire file.
    I hope that makes sense.
    Thank you
    Clark

    The problematic bit is actually the hyphen, although oddly, there is no block research in all situations.  The general Council is when the search text contains a symbol such as the hyphen, place the text between quotes and place ~ = before the quoted text.  So ~ = "fs - xp5" would work, but unfortunately this special syntax does not work in areas indexed without specifying the filename property.  To limit the search to the file names and also to allow the search successfully indexed areas, enter name: ~ = "fs - xp5.

    Some symbols have actually not need quotes, but some do so they are generally advised.

  • I opened a folder from an e-mail, made changes to the word document, and thinking that I had saved on my hard drive, I closed it. Now I can not find the file with the changes. Is there anyway I can retrieve the file with the changes that I made for her?

    recovering files

    Follow these steps to find the file;

    Go to folder options in Windows Explorer > organize, click the view tab and select "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck the box on "Hide protected operating system files".

    Copy and paste the following text in the address bar of windows Explorer. Don't forget to replace "XXX" with your own username (or one that has been used by modifying the file), C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

    Now you're going to see some folders, the file you are looking for must be in one of these folders.

    You really produce TIFF files? If you are, no matter what version of LR read them. Files NAVE, not so much. For NEF files out of this camera, you can either upgrade to the latest 6.4 or CC 2015.4, or you can download the latest free Adobe DNG converter software and use it to convert your files to DNG and import those into LR 5.7.

    Back to TIFF format. If you are trying to import those and get a message that the files cannot be read. You will need to change the permissions on the folder that you copy the image to. Change the permissions if you have read and write access.

    What is N - OS?

    For the problem of camera raw, every new device has its own raw format, and ACR must be updated to include the latter. Happened yet for the d5500 has been added, so you'll just have to use the Nikon software until Adobe gets the info and releases an updated version of ACR. It is not uncommon to be in your situation, if you buy a camera model that was only a month. You just wait a bit.
