I have Windows Vista Home Premium OS that has Microsoft Works 8.5. I'm not able to open excel spreadsheet I got attached to e-mails. I just got a xlsx - how to open file.

Hello

you need Excel, part of the office, or a viewer Excel to read these files

http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=1CD6ACF9-CE06-4E1C-8DCF-F33F669DBC3A&displaylang=en Excel Viewer

Open, view, and print Excel workbooks, even if you don't have Excel installed. This download is a replacement for Excel Viewer 97 and all previous Excel Viewer versions.

  • Error - Windows cannot open this file when trying to install Microsoft Gadgets.

    Original title: how to install gadget from Microsoft.

    I down loaded the gadgets and themes, when I go to install, Windows cannot open this file. If I get them from microsoft, it seems that windows can open.

    Hi mikemontgomery,

    If you use windows XP, it is not possible to install Microsoft Gadgets on it. Microsoft Gadgets are optimized for Windows Vista and Windows 7 only.

    However, you can use your favorite search engine to download third-party gadgets which can serve the purpose.

    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.

    Hope the helps of information.

    Please post back and we do know.

  • Cannot open DOC files that are sent to me. I have wordpad and Notepad on my computer but you do not have Microsoft Office

    original title: DOC files

    Cannot open DOC files that are sent to me. I have wordpad and Notepad on my computer but you do not have Microsoft Office. Most of the time, I get a screen that says 'open' or 'save' the file and when I click on 'Open', this message disappears. Sometimes it opens, but the message is completely scrambled with letters and symbols.

    Cannot open DOC files in wordpad or Notepad. you will need a more advanced software suite. Try OpenOffice.org - it's free, and it supports the DOC format. But the best solution is to get Microsoft Office once and for all.

    Download OpenOffice.org: http://download.openoffice.org/contribute.html?download=mirrorbrain&files/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Win_x86_install-wJRE_en-US.exe. Note: Click on the link at the bottom that says "http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Win_x86_install-wJRE_en-US.exe" to download the program.

    This should solve your problem,

    It has nothing to do with what version of Windows you are using. He
    has to do with which version of Word you are using (or if you)
    have installed the compatibility pack).

    The .docx format is the default format used by Word 2007 and 2010.
    Since you are using Word 2003, you can't natively read .docx
    files.

    There are two possible solutions to your problem:

    1. ask your correspondent to refer the file to the old .doc format. He
    can do this by choosing Save as, rather than save.

    2 download and install the free "Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack
    for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats"to

Make sure that all required files for installation aare available and restart the installation. Error code: 0x8007000D, SHOULD ALL BE ON THE DISCALREADY?

    Hi JRCLNSIN100,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         What is the disk you use to reinstall?

    ·         Is this a recovery or reinstalling the disc you are using?

    ·         When exactly do you get this error message?

    ·         What is the edition of Windows Vista, you try to install?

    ·         How old is the drive that you are using?

    ·         How are you starting the installation process?

    After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

    First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

    To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

    To perform a flat installation of Windows Vista, follow these steps.

    Note The hard disk must have at least 3 GB of free space on the disk for the Windows Vista installation files. The hard disk must have at least 15 GB of additional disk space to install Windows Vista. For more information about system requirements for Windows Vista, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/editions/SystemRequirements.mspx

    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.
    2. Start Windows Explorer.
    3. In Windows Explorer, click to select the drive for the Windows Vista installation disc.
    4. On the Edit menu, click select all.
    5. On the Edit menu, click copy.
    6. Click to select the hard disk you want to contain the flat installation files.
    7. On the file menu, point to new, click the folder, type Windows Vista Setupand then press ENTER.
    8. Double-click the Windows Vista Setup program, and then click Paste on the Edit menu.
    9. Double-click Setup.exe, and then follow the instructions that appear.

    See the link below for more information on flat installation.

    This problem can also occur if the firmware of the DVD drive is defective or obsolete.

    If the step above does not resolve the question suggests that you install the latest drivers for the DVD player on the computer.

    Hello

    JSON is a java file. or JavaScript Object Notation, is an open standard based on text designed for the exchange of human readable data. It is derived from the JavaScript scripting language to represent associative arrays, and simple data structures called objects. Despite his relationship with JavaScript, it is independent of the language, with parsers available for many languages.

    If you want to open. You must have Java installed on your computer the JSON file. If you have java installed on the computer I suggest you to try the steps from the following link:
