My vista can not open files created in other forms

I am not able to open files that are not created in word works perfectly, or has vista what ever. I can't open things in word or works that are sent to me or my teacher has on its website of the files. I learned there is something I should be able to download free to solve this problem, but I can't. I can't find user friendly microsofts site. ANY help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Hello

    I have a problem, one of my computers I have Pages 5.6.1. I have many files created with the most recent version of the Pages 5.6.1.

    The problem is that I can not open files created with Pages 5.6.1 use another computer with Pages 5.6.1.

    This is a known issue. Update both machines to v5.6.1 Pages (providing you have Yosemite 10.10.4 or later). Unfortunately, v5.6.1 Pages can also forget open documents of his own creation.

  • In Hotmail, I can see only the Inbox but can't open messages. Also, I can not open all of the other categories. It is only with my netbook and is a recent problem. From an office, the account is fine.

    I was read and send e-mails from my netbook and desktop computer without problem. This week, on my netbook, I can only Hotmail and see the Inbox. I can not open the mail, nor can I open one of the other sections or even get to page 2 of the Inbox. There is no problem with the desktop computer. Is there something I may be changed by chance on the netbook that prevents me from using Hotmail? Thanks for any help you can give me.

  • I can't afford the subcription cS6 my trial period is over can not open files adobe what can I do?

    Subscription Trial for CS6 is more determined to not buy.  Now, I can't open non of my adobe files.

    Don't know what you expect. Adobe specific file formats can be opened with Adobe apps and that's who. Was not so obvious at the outset? Which means not to be rude, but clearly Adobe is a company that makes its business by selling software. Surely they don't mean for people to create stuff in their trial versions and then flowing to competitors or use free software even. It is the nature of the beast. Only formats generic, publicly documented, not exclusive like formats EPS, PDF, HTML, RTF or the image as JPEG, PNG, BMP, etc. will open in other programs without limits. Some programs may be able to open some Adobe formats like PSD, but always with limitations.

    I can't open my muse file and make changes to my Web site.  When I try to open the file, I get this message:

    An error has

    Affirm: "corrupt XML in the database of record BoxPageItem U10684 class"

    I don't know what to do, or what might have happened yet!  Any help is appreciated!

    Where did your .muse file stored when you work on it in Muse? It is on a file server? It is in a synchronized folder (i.e. Dropbox, creative Cloud Files folder, box, etc.)?

    If you send your .muse file to [email protected] as well as a link to this topic (for context), we are able to repair the corruption. If the file is larger than 20 MB, you can send it in using a service like Dropbox, Adobe SendNow, WeTransfer, etc..

  • Edge crashed, can not open files due to JS error

    Hi, I was just to complete a portfolio of border site and had an accident that appears to have done the file unreadable in Edge animate. I get the error message «load failed, please check your page to find errors JavaScript.» It works fine when I open the HTML home page in dreamweaver, but I have a few changes that I still need to do to make it final. The last thing I was working on added a video, and oddly enough, when I load the video in Dreamweaver already seems to be at halfway. I don't know if this is helpful to all. in any case, I loaded all in a zip and transferred to WeTransfer if someone wouldn't mind have a look. I would really appreciate it! I tried looking through edge.js and edge_actions.js files to see if there was any added additional characters (like a similar position demonstrating it is sometimes the case), but I'm not enough common sense to determine if it happened here, and that he could not find all the obvious errors in code.
