• C7280 - cannot scan. Error message indicates another program has control over the device

  I open the HP Device Manager to do a scan. I accepted the parameters and the scanning started. But the part passing through the analysis, I stopped the scan that I realized that I wanted to change the resolution. I leave the Manager device and rebooted but when I did, I got to tell an error message:

  'Cannot perform the function you have requested because another program has control over ice dev'.

  I have nothing else open and so I can't work on what program has control over the printer.

  C7280 Prtinter. Mac OS x 10.7.

  The Device Manager has not been updated for Lion and there is still no specific Lion software for your printer.

  So far, you have the choice of scanning with picture Capture or preview.  I'm sorry.

• Adobe Reader has taken possession of my office.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  I am running Windows 7 + 64 bit on a Dell laptop.

  I'm back from vacation (I left my laptop @ home) and found that Adobe pdf icons took over from my office.

  I had to create another user admin just to get the Adobe programs off my machine.

  But now I need to open pdf files but do not have the program to do.

  I / m clearly left mouth gaping and Adobe support sent me here.

  That fixation begins!

  Thank you - Jerry

• WordPad has taken over my computer, the icons and all!

  In attempting to change the default value of the unknown for a program that can open zip files, I tried to use WordPad, given that Windows 7 appears to have eliminated the Windows Explorer as default.  Suddenly, I realized everything in my bar tasks, and almost all of my programs are opened as WordPad, with what looked like hieroglyphics to text!  I ran and no infection, they came and I am wanting to do a restore of the system to yesterday, but that, too, opens as WordPad! This zip file has caused me too many problems and I was not able to figure out how to open again!  At this point, I'm afraid to do so, even if I had looked forward to receive the product.  Same MSE opens as WordPad, as does everything else.  I am able to open some sites only by choosing links in help!  So may of you brilliant technicians help me out somehow from this quagmire?

  Thank you very much!

  THAT IS TO SAY 11

  The zip file contains a program, or just compressed files? Usually if a zip file contains a malware

  It does not infect your machine so that extract you it or run an executable that installs.

  -Notepad is usually the best option to open unknown files to read the text.

  A third program open source, Notepad ++ , it's even better.

  Hieroglyphs would likely be machine code, not text.

  -C' is weird that all file extensions appear to have changed to Wordpad. Maybe the zip file

  contains a number of files with commonly used file extensions, and all of them have changed.

  I'll waffle with what data I can offer still...

  -Try using the Startup Option - last good known Configuration

  (Click Start > restart and after Windows shuts but before it begins to restart start tapping)

  the F8 key. This will display the Boot Options menu).

  -If restore Boot Options didn't help, you may have to do some registry entries.

  It is also possible to restore default file with a command prompt extensions, or a lot

  file, but I don't know how to do this.

  by default-file-type-associations-restore

  - Or - maybe if you install 7 - zip (see below) you may be able to change the file association for zip files

  7 - zip, and perhaps the rest will come as a result (I dare not experience)?

  ------

  -When you use the Open or Open with options you must make sure to clear the check box

  next to - 'always use the selected program to open this kind of file '.

  This will stop with the open option to change the file Association for all files that use this extension.

  (eg - .txt, dll, exe, and so on).

  -Why MS made 'always use the selected program to open this kind of file '.   the default value is a mystery

  for me, as I very rarely want to change the file extension to always use a certain program, but there are many things that will try to open, and which are readable with Notepad.

  -------

  I use 7 - zip, which is very popular for extraction and compression of files.

  Download the msi version that fits your Win7 - 32 or 64-bit. Run the msi file to install.

  7-zip

  -------

  If you do not install 7 - zip - (windows Help and Support on the start menu)-

  - To extract a single file or folder, double-click the compressed folder to open it. Then, drag the file or folder the file is compressed to a new location.

  -To extract the entire contents of the compressed folder, right-click the folder, click on Extract all , and then follow the instructions.

• Adobe Acrobat has taken possession of my computer. All files try to open in Adobe.

  adobe acrobat somehow took on my computer... it is few pictures is all over my desk and it tries to open all.  How can I stop?  I tried to recover but it did not work :(

  original title: adobe acrobat opens all programs

  Have you tried using 'open with' on a shortcut? You can open the executable programs?

  It sounds really like you accidentally attached .lnk extensions to adobe acrobat. This creates users default choice on all your shortcut to adobe acrobat links.

  Since the default action is caused by the user (as it was accidental) choice, you can be able to restore everything simply by creating a new user account. See if the icons to return to their natural state, then knit. If so, just move all your files and folders and delete the old account. If you use Outlook, you also need to reset where it looks for files of Outlook, but it can be automatic (do not try to start Outlook until what everything is copied on the property). If you use this method, remember to copy the hidden appdata folder. Just show all before you begin the copy.

  The other method which requires a regedit is also quite simple, but recommend that you set a manual restore point before you start. A regedit always has the potential to mess up your system. the procedures are:

  1. Click on the Start Menu, type regedit in start search and press ENTER.
  2. Navigate to the following registry branch:

  NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

  Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original Windows 7 by default (probably .lnk). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts.

  3. delete the subkey named UserChoice.

  4. exit the registry editor.

  Theoretically, each method of work.

• MSN HAS TAKEN OVER MY HOME PAGE. I DIDN'T ASK THEM! HOW CAN I GET RID OF THEM?

  To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.
  
  If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

• How can I get Safari as browser: yahoo has taken over

  Yahoo returns constantly as my default browser on my computer and I spent in the preferences/general systems and validated it States Safari.  How can I get rid of Yahoo.  I have OS X Yosemite

  Hello

  First of all, get rid of Yahoo itself. You uninstall yahoo yourself by entering the programs folder in the Finder, or by a program like AppCleaner or clean my Mac. Then you choose to uninstall. Make sure that there is no trace in the sandbox as well. Then, he must return to the system settings and set Safari as your default browser. Personally, I recommend a program like own to my Mac to uninstall these aggressive programs because they suppress each bit in any directory.

  Hope this helps

• A person or group has taken over my computer

  A few years ago, I downloaded accidentally malware/trojan/virus through a flash update. My internet has sent almost as much as she gets slow my computer down to ridiculous.  A few years ago I enabled hidden files and found a whole bunch of very strange file names starting with $ and extremely long numbers. For example, $NtUninstallKB2655992$.

  I looked into some of these hidden folders to find text files with a very strange, as the rectangles and something like nAuN dirty as a name in it.

  There are 39 just in my Windows folder. In addition to a folder called $hf_mig$ who has stored all my XP system updates and, perhaps, since it happened. There are 38 updates since 10/10/2012 in there. Files named something close to KB2724197 are listed in there. I guess they are updated because they have almost the same name as the updates of today that I was not allowed to install.

  Last night I started in safe mode to change the privileges on files hidden as a RECYCLER. When in safe mode, I clicked on RECYCLER to change the admin him. When he wouldn't let see who was the owner, I started to look around. In the box, there is a list of privileges to assign read/write, etc. But "special permission is grayed out. As I have gone through and created a new user for my self, I found this list of users;

  ANONYMOUS
  Authenticated users
  BATCH
  Dan (me)
  DIALUP
  Everyone
  Comments (deactivated)
  Guests
  Help Services Group (deactivated)
  Help Assistant
  INTERACTIVE
  NETWORK
  SERVICE
  SUPPORT_388945a0
  SYSTEM
  Terminal Server user
  User (has been disabled)
  Users

  I was unable to make changes when you try to remove users from this file. When I tried the error message showed a path? \C:\RECYCLER, you do not have sufficient privileges to make changes.

  Note aside, everything first, I realized something was wrong years when I found that Audacity could not use my microphone or adjust the volume in my controls.

  So, what is with all this?

  At this point, you have to assume that all of your data and personal information on the computer is compromised.  You must ensure that your credit cards and other financial accounts have not been fraudulently used.  Use a secure computer known to replace your passwords online.  If you have already used an online credit card, call the credit card company and request a new account number (explain that your computer may have been compromised - they should treat it simply as a lost or stolen card).

  Reading this, especially the last paragraph--> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to provide you with a way to reinstall Windows.  If they cannot help you, ask the computer lab (or a renowned local independent repair store - not a store chain) and ask them if they can re-install version authentic Windows XP for you.  They may or may not be able to do, depending on what the media available to them and that the label of certificate of authenticity of Windows XP on your computer can be read.

  Overall, it may be cheaper to purchase a new netbook.  You will not be able to get one with XP, however.  You will probably have to get used to Windows 8 or Google Chrome.

  Really, the alternative to reinstalling Windows or buy a new computer - and it is not a good alternative and is not guarantee of success - advertising interactive help in one of the specialized forums malware removal I listed before.

  Although it is technically possible that your BIOS is infected, it is very likely (unless you live in China).  A rootkit BIOS named Mebromi appeared a year or two ago, but it can only attack computers that use BIOS code produced by a specific vendor.
