I have problems to open bmp files with paint.
It worked fine until a week ago, but all of a sudden I get "Paint cannot read this file. is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported. I use it to change the drawings to PDF which I did over the years (just adding the welding symbols). And Yes, actually saving the file in the paint as a BMP file before I try to open it, I can't open it in PDF format. I open the PDF file and copy the image to paint to edit then save as a .bmp. When I try to open it again, I get the error. Also I tried to save the file in different formats (ie. jpeg, png, etc) and trying to open but I get the same error. Please any help would be appreciated, because now I have been their opening with PaintXP that works but I can't zoom in as I can in windows 7.
It's a stumpper for sure. I know this isn't associated file, that I have already dealt with that. I'll just have to find a similar free commodity with basic editing even. and just reinstall windows when I get home from work. Thank you much for the help :)

I get an error msg when I try to open a file using adobe reader software. Error States: Adobe Reader could not open ' heels 2014 001.exe bmp because it is not a supported type, file or because the file has been damaged (for example: he was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been decoded correctly.).
I tried to send an email with attachments 44 and would not send the email. Ever since I tried to send this e-mail, I have been doing the error msg.
Anyone know how I can get this to work for me again?
Thank you, any help is greatly appreciated.

The file you are trying to open is (you can see from the name) a BMP, PDF files no file. Adobe Reader can only open PDF files, just so stop trying to open it with Adobe Reader. The app, users of Windows for BMP files is painting.

I bought Windows 7 two years to upgrade my Windows Vista laptop. The upgrade went well. In November, my hard drive reported a failure to come so I took it to a technician to replace my hard drive and reload everything. I didn't have the product key for W7 so they have recharged to factory install WVista. Last night, I bought another copy of W7 and installed. When the time came to 'Unpack the box' I got one "don't have permission to open the file. Contact the administrator. "message. I found a solution in a post since 2009 and followed the instructions to the command prompt: sfc/scannnow. The scan came back with no violation of integrity. I don't know what to do now.

I have problems separating records and files of the administrator and the user. My computer is a laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700), used as a home computer only by myself, I like to keep the two distinct roles, but am unable to as Vista seems to be considered as one and the same. This scenario has arisen as follows:
Initially, when I bought the laptop - approx. 18 months back - Windows Vista Home Premium was preinstalled, with the name 'Administrator' as an administrator. To customize the operating system and to use safely, I installed a user 'Renault', as a Standard account user.
After awhile, I changed the name of the Director of "Renault", for reasons I have can not remember now. This caused Vista to combine folders and files of the two "users" in one, I found difficult to deal with, that I could not operate my laptop as just a Standard user, but is still considered the "administrator." On the one hand, this greatly increased spam in my email accounts. So I tried to reset the name of the administrator as 'Administrator' itself and keep my user name as "Renault", as originally the case. But Vista me has failed to create a new user under the name "Administrator". So I created a new user under the name "System administrator", with administrative privileges. This has been accepted by Vista.
But I forgot to change the user account for 'Renault', on the Standard account, so there was BOTH administrator accounts at the same time on my laptop! I realized that now only. The net result was that all the files that I created under the system administrator user were still being displayed under the user account of Renault. A few days back, I realized this and tried to separate the files correctly, but it has not been possible. No matter what I copied the account of the user in the files under the system administrator account, the files have been copied on account of the user himself.
I tried to fix this by changing the name of the user account in something very different, AND as a Standard user. but this also does not work, as all folders and files under the administrator account system shows it as being under the user account of "Renault" only!
Then, I deleted the user 'Renault' from the list of the user, but he was not yet of any help. Whenever I tried to create a new file under the system administrator, Vista responds with the message, "C:\user\Rajaram folder is not present. Will I create a new? ", which defeat the same purpose of my tent to isolate the administrator account and the user account.
SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE WITH A SOLUTION, - OTHER THAN REFORMATTING MY C:\ DISK AND REINSTALL VISTA AGAIN - TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS, IT SEEMS TO ME YOU HAVE CREATED AND HELP ME TO HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT AND OTHER UNIQUE STANDARD USER ACCOUNTS PROPERLY ISOLATED.I would be always grateful for a quick and helpful response.
Thanks in advance.-RAJARAM77
Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful / sorry your proposed solution has not solved my problem. Kind regards. -Rajaram77Better to delete the user account except the one that was built in the administrator account that you renamed. Before this backup all your data files of these user accounts.
Then rename the buil into account administrator as 'administrator '. Then you create another administrator account and use it and never the user built in Administrator account and leave it alone. -

Windows to use a specific application to open a file with a MCD.
Original title: "open with" application "Choose default program" Cancel
I accidentally changed the icon and the program using the "open with" application "choose default program" to the word instead of VectorWorks. The central database file can still be opened by the program. However, I can't find the program or its icon on the 'recommended' or 'Other' menu programs even if the program is located in my folder "Program Files". How to cancel the global setting or that the program "open with" to recognize the program?

CS4 opens unchanged file with the changes made to the different registered file
OK, I searched for this but can't find anything. Probably because I don't know what is happening. (1) I opened a file from a CD raw in photoshop cs4, lets call it photo1.nef. (2) I saved the file under a different name on my HARD DRIVE after changing, photo1b.tif. I have not to form any save the file on the CD (cannot in any case). (3) now, everytime I open the original file, photo1.nef on the CD it opens with all the changes I've done previously for the file is saved in the photo1b.tif form (remember that this is the original file unchanged but not the file, I changed). But when you look at the pictures it seems to be the same version of the file. I closed photoshop and it deleted all my temporary files, and still, it opens the file with the changes, even if other programs open the file in its state of origin without any of my changes. How can I stop this? I think I can go nuts on it! Help! My wife is laughing at me when I show him.
Looks like you may be using a cache for your Camera Raw settings (and not the XMP sidecar files). Check your preferences in Camera Raw or make an edition > Camera Raw preferences of the bridge.
You should be able to clear the changes by right-clicking on the image in Bridge and selecting parameters develop > clear settings.
Only Adobe programs will use these changes by the way. This is why open the file in other programs does not display them.
