RAR files are not more likely to contain a virus or Malware any that any other file. (Assuming that you are not running a decent AV program).
Read about RAR files here and you can download the RAR Extractor free Frog.

Also, take a look in the Device Manager, the yellow exclamation points, showing a problem with your devices?

I have a mac 2009 i (late), I want again to install snow leopard (I have the disc), but my driver disk is broken! So I want to ask if there is a way to create a disk image of my windows pc to use it through the hard drive of my imac Lord?
External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.

How to open .tif files using the Windows fax and picture viewer
I have the file open options set to use the viewer photo and fax Windows, however, it is always opens the .tif file in a window of IE. In reading the other posts regarding this problem, I think it may be a number of MIME, but nobody published how to fix this. Can someone send please how to change the MIME type so I can open the files in the right way. I REALLY appreciate it.
Windows XP SP3 with all updates and IE8.Thanks in advance,EricOriginal title: how IE8 to open a .tif file by using the Windows fax and picture viewer?Hello
I suggest that allows you to remove any CLSIDS listed under location:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Type\image/tiff
Note: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

How do I open a pst file directly from windows search results screen
I try to open a pst file from the windows of search results. I can open the pdf, doc, xls, ppt files etc. but no more pst. I already tried to change the description of filter in the Advanced Option of indexation for pst files, but I have not available a filter Microsoft Office, only a plain text filter and a filter file properties. Do you know how I can activate it?
A pst file is actually a database and is not readable text in the normal sense. To open it, the only way is to install Outlook, as the database driver.
Use the file - management of data files in Outlook to attach the PST file.

How to open a local file using JavaFX?
How to open a local file using JavaFX?
Is there something similar with the code below?
---------------------------------------------------------------
java.awt.Desktop import;
.............
try {}
Desktop.getDesktop () .the (new File(\\file_to_open.extension_file));
}
catch (IOException ex)
{}
............
So the final code might be something similar to:
button.setOnAction(actionEvent -> { FileChooser dialog = new FileChooser(); dialog.setTitle("Open Resource File"); dialog.getExtensionFilters().setAll(new ExtensionFilter("PDF Files", "*.pdf"), new ExtensionFilter("Text Files", "*.txt")); File file = dialog.showOpenDialog(mainStage); if (file != null) { myApplication.getHostServices().showDocument(file.toURI().toString()); } });
