  • I am not able to open my files Adobe Bridge and, sometimes, of file managers, what to do?

    I'm not able to open my files Adobe Bridge and I can't drag files to it in Indesign, Photoshop or Acrobat (I think it's the same thing with Illustrator too). More of Indesign, Photoshop, and Adobe Acrobat sometimes do not open files when I double click on it in Windows Explorer, Total Commander or even bridge. To open all the files, the only stable is via file/open, which is very inconvenient. What can I do to fix this?

    Check after resetting Bridge preferences,

    • Start Adobe Bridge, and immediately press Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or command + Option + shift (Mac OS down) so that the dialog box will reset the settings displayed, or press the keys Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or command + Option + shift (Mac OS), and then luanch bridge.

  • Not able to open ASHX files.

    Original title: ASHX files

    I have trouble downloading some files of attachments to emails that I received from colleagues.  The problem seems to be with the marked files as files "ashx.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hi Robert,.

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for the query display.

    File with the extension to ASHX file is an ASP.NET Web Manager.

    ASHX files are files used with the ASP.NET programming and can be opened with any program code in ASP.NET (like Microsoft Visual Web Developer). ASHX files are not intended to be read or opened by the browser. If you have downloaded a file ASHX and expecting that it contains information (such as a document or other recorded data), it is likely that something is wrong with the website and instead of generating usable information, she provided this file server instead.

    You can search on the Internet a program that can open this file.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Important: Take great care when opening file formats executable received in e-mail or downloaded from Web sites, that you are not familiar with as it could cause damage to your computer

  • can someone help me choose the right program to open my file on the desktop?

    Try to open the game of chess. It prompted me to choose another file to open chess game of Titian. So I did it by clicking on the internet window explore. now all the progress or files on my desktop changed for symbol (e) of the exploring on them and I can't open them. I don't know how to get it back. Can someone help me?

    Hello

    I would like to know the operating system you work with.

    Method 1) when you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

    Method 2) in case if it does not help, you must change the associated file. To change the file association for a specific file, you must first display the properties of the file.

    1. You can view the properties of a file by selecting the file and choosing 'Properties' in the file menu. Or you can simply right-click on the file and select "Properties" from the context menu that appears.
    1. To change this file association, click the button change.
    1. You are given a list of recommended programs to open the file, as well as several other programs on your computer. The recommended programs are programs that Windows knows is going to be able to open the current file type. For this reason, choose a program from the list of recommended programs is a good idea. You can choose a program from the list of other programs, but the file cannot open.
    1. You can change this program opens all documents of a certain type of file, and then click the checkbox "Always use the selected program to open this type of file."
    1. Click OK

  • A project is not import dependence projects any transfer using the Desktop Manager

    One of my projects have been dependent on two other projects and those dependencies are kept in the generated files .alx so.

    But, if I transfer the claim referring .alx files using Desktop Manager, its not actually transfer the other two dependent projects.

    Is it possible to import all dependent projects as well as with the main project?

    As I said above, whenever the dependency library project .cod file is in a different directory, its not loaded in the device using Desktop Manager, whenever we load the main project in the unit.

    Workaround solution:

    We need changes in files .alx file to specify the file .cod library with the actual path. [Note: BlackBerry JDE will not affect the actual path, he considers the name of file .cod without taking account of her real situation.] It assumes that the library .cod file is in the path where the main files .alx file.]

    I've specified as shown below:

    samplelibrary\samplelibrary. COD

    Note that the samplelibrary.cod mentioned with its parent directory, residing inside of the JDE project workspace, where the files the main project .alx file.

    I tried to use the tag of the element to specify the path of the file .cod without success.

    I don't know if this is a bug in BlackBerry JDE or it's the way it was designed to generate files of files .alx with project dependencies.

  • I can't open some of the files on the desktop!

    Hello!

    I can't open some files on my desktop computer. I can open the trash, I can open shortcuts, I can open the desktop.ini files, I can open DOCX files, I can open EXE files and I can open the VBS files. By opening the files, I mean a double click on the file icons. But I can't open the image (JPG or PNG) files.
    If I try a double click on any image file on my desktop nothing happens! If I click with the right button on the file icon and choose Preview is the same, nothing happens! But I can open files stored in the folder my pictures in C:\Users\User, either by double-clicking on file icons or by right-clicking them and choosing an excerptof images. Also, if I copy or move files that I have on the desktop to the images folder and then all of a sudden I can open them! I can double-click on the file icon or right-click and choose Preview. But if I return these files on the desktopand then I can't open them! What gives?
    I guess it has something to do with the security of files and folders settings. But I don't know what is wrong or what to do. Note that all these files, essentially all of the files stored in C:\Users have been restored from a backup file Acronis disk full (Full_backup_of_Vista_ (ST1PT1) .tib). I know that during the process of recovery of backup in Acronis True Image Home 2011 I left the default setting for the option 'recover files with their original security settings'.
    Leaving the possibility to 'recover files with their original security settings' on a led the old user account SID are listed in the list of security of files and/or folders (that is, S-1-5-21-3623811015-3361044348-30300820-1013). That is why, I decided to remove all of the restored files and bring them back again, but this time I unchecked the option 'recover files with their original security settings'. In this way, the files inherit security settings of the they are stored in folders.
    So I'm now always having problems with file security, even after the removal of the above option and restore files once more.
    There is no number unknown SID listed for these files now. All I see is the group Administrators , the SYSTEM group and Samir who is my user account. The same thing is shown for the Desktop folder. So why this would be a problem now? At the same time, the images folder has the account number S-1-5-21-2544407746-3790578479-2786702567-1000 unknown and yet I have no problem opening the files in this folder? So what's happening? What should I do?

    Problem solved!

    I used a software called ReProfiler that allows the user to manipulate user profiles in Winwows directly, without having to create a new user account. Because let's face it: having to create a new user account for the sole purpose of getting a new user profile belongs at the time of Windows 98! This procedure of old school does not belong to a Mac modern as Vista or 7!
    There is actually a way to delete a user profile in Windows Vista, without deleting a user account. It can be found by going to...
    1. start
    2 Control Panel
    3. system and Maintenance
    4 system
    5 Advanced System. This will display the system properties.
    6. in this dialog box, you click on settings, where it says "profiles". A new dialog box appears and allows you to delete selected users profiles. But there is no option to create a new. Why not Microsoft?...
    It's frustrating to not be able to continue to do things in the system and have to rely on third-party applications like ReProfiler.
    So I used ReProfiler reassign my user account on my user profile. I have done that and restarted the computer. But he seems to have no effect on the issue I had with the files on the desktop. But after deleting some files from the office, it started to work normally. I remember deleting a particular program shortcut that gave me the error message if I went to properties, Security tab. This shortcut was left over after you uninstall the program itself. After the removal of that thing, I was able to open any file on the desktop, even the photo files. So, I'm not sure if it was turned or a combination of things that this point sort, but I'm glad it still works.
    Lessons: Never restore ntuser.dat, ntuser.dat.log, ntuser.ini files when you restore files to a folder from a backup file users. This will probably mess things up. In addition, does not restore the security settings for the files and records of these files and folders to restore. Instead, they inherit the security settings appropriate to their parents. I think it's how I presented this problem in the first place.
