I can not open downloads

I'm unable to open downloads. They appear in the download window, but when I click it, nothing happens. I also tried to open their files saved without success. It is a new problem. I've never had this problem before. The fie I open is a .exe file.

This has happened

Don't know how many times

== I tried to download a file today.

I do not have the option ' save to ' and 'Browse' in the download window. However, I was able to download and open the file today. Do not know why. I worked to solve several problems on my computer and all I did is to have fixed this problem as well. It's a mystery!

Thanks for all the tips. Great forum. Have a great day!

  • I can not open/download files attached on all sites

    IM', unable to open/download attachments from various sites IE extensions of Hotmail and Centrelink. Very frustrating, even if I can do it on my other PC! I'm missing something here?

    Hello

    1. were you able to open/download the files attached successfully earlier?

    2. what happens when you try to open or download attachments?

    3. do you get any error code or error message?

    4. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    5 is this problem confined to specific files or all files?

    6. what browser you use to download/open the attachments?

    If you use Internet Explorer, then I you suggest to disable add-ons, then try to download and extract.

    Follow the steps to disable add-ons:

    a. open Internet Explorer

    b. press the ALT key, and then click Tools.

    c. click on Manage Add-ons.

    d. disable add-ons by clicking on them one at a time to highlight and then click Disable.

    Note: to re-enable the modules one by one and check with what add-on, you get this error message. Disable Add-ons will not cause any problem.

    If disabling add0one did not help, then it would be better to post the same question in Windows Live Hotmail forums to get help.

  • I can not open downloads of any kind.

    I posted earlier of not being able to open all the downloads; I have not solved the problem yet.  That's what I did so far, without success: I HPw2207: I run Vista Ultimate, and my browser is Mozilla.

    In May when it started I was downloading a game of Big Fish.com app is on this site for 5 years with no problems.  After you download the window came open was grey and it does not open.  Then I realized that I could no longer open all downloads, and failed to install the updates. And the Adobe reader could not open any files, forms, etc.

    That's what I've tried so far, I ran it as administrator, and nothing has helped:

    Immediately, I took my computer to a previous restore point.

    I have uninstalled all applications of game I had played.

    I uninstalled all of my computer that I is no longer necessary.

    I defragmented my files.

    I have the paid version of AVG, I did a complete scan, we deletes it the threats.

    Ran CCleaner

    A run Spyboy/search and destroy

    Run the full scan with Malaware bytes-found 2 Trojan horses, 3 infections, removed, run new scan found nothing.

    Scanned all files, downloads, apps. etc individually.

    A ran the hardware check

    Installed EXE installer/Windows plugin based browsers, saved on a disk and could not open it.

    Same thing with the MSI installer.

    Uninstalled all Adobe products, reinstalled everything but Shockwave, (cannot open it.).

    After reinstalling Adobe Reader, I am now able to shoot to the top of forms and print.

    Don't know what else to try.

    Suggestions more?

    Thank you.

    I found the problem, a simple solution.  My browser has been corrupted.  Passed to Google Chrome and have had no problems since.  Computer technicians could not yet understand this.  He took my son aged 15 to suggest I tey switching browsers... go figure!

  • Get the error on everything I click on: Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. Can not open the downloaded files. Help!

    IM about to set fire to this laptop... I tried to set permissions which is what I read as a solution, but none still having the same problem.  I have a click with the right button on my c drive to try to get everyone is listed as having control over the files and click ok, still the same problem.  What is the result of a virus? I try to open things Ive downloaded using safari (Safari is the only browser to work of all those that I have) a file has been moved he says... moved where? To heaven? I don't know where to start to try to solve this problem, because if I can't open downloads what's the use? Should I wipe out completely and put another OS (for example, Linux Mint lol), or is it a simple solution, I'm missing somewhere? I really hate his terrible Vista. If I could download Linux Mint I and destroy this sucker. If someone knows a way to fix even one of these questions than id be tickled s*@#$less... Thanks for reading my rant.

    Hello

    Unless you have an idea, when it started and what changes have been made before the appearance of this problem (and by changes it could be software installation/uninstall, update existing software, make changes, etc), you should probably do a reinstall. If you have a Vista disc to the same level as the current installation, insert it and follow the instructions for an inplace upgrade. If you have a system pre-installed with recovery of manufacturer, follow their instructions.

    Randomly change file permissions should not solve your problems.

    Linux is a viable alternative, but it may suffer corruption as well, and you will probably find a real support to fail.

  • Installed Flash Player 14, now I can not open a new tab

    This morning (June 11, 2014), I downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player 14 (due to a upgrade prompt) and now I can not open new tabs. Email links will open new tabs - will be so some internet links will open new tabs - but by pressing on the '+' does nothing. I tried to reinstall Flash Player. I tried to download and install a new Firefox.

    Mac OS X - 10.6.8

    In some cases, leave Safe Mode and starting Firefox regularly works automatically (like blow off the dust).

    But more often one of your extensions must be updated or disabled in order to recover the missing functionality. Understand what extension sometimes take a bit of work.

    Try first, extension update. You can do this on the page modules. Either:

    • Command + shift + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, find the "gear" button and use the check for updates.

    You can also use this page to disable extensions that could be the culprit, or click in their dialog boxes Options (if available) to see if there is a setting for this.

    A little luck?

  • Client can not open my Word file

    I'm a writer to RESUME running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3.  I sent a resume in Word docx format to a customer who has an old Mac that works on 10.5.8.  She cannot open the file.  Then, I sent him back to him like a plain .doc file, but it can not open, either.  Is there a solution?  Or do I have to send the customer to the public library to use their computers?

    I can not open any application such as anti virus, system restore or anything like that in my control panel. I can open internet explore. I know that I have the xp antivirus virus 2011. I can't remove anything well. When I try to download and install new anti virus it will download but not open.

    Please help im desperate.

    hopefull malwarebytes works well.

    MalwareBytes Anti-Malware works well... but this isn't an antivirus application.  It mainly deals no virus malware.  The usual recommendation is to install good antivirus for the protection in real time and to analyze periodically with the free version of MBAM (and SUPERAntiSpyware).  See, for example, http://www.articlesbase.com/software-articles/is-malwarebytes-an-antivirus-program-992141.html

    Current favorites for av applications are:
    Avira (free)
    Microsoft Security Essentials (free)
    NOD32 Antivirus 4 ESET (not free)

    I can't open downloaded files, a program that I paid for, among other things. I got the message, "choose what file you want to open the program with".

Please note: I ran a scan of viruses & spyware in depth and made that a retailer computer as well, we do not find the remark of a Trojan or viruses. What is a "worm"... If so, how to remove? This wonderful Vista doesn't let me system restore to May 9, (thank you Bill Gates).
