• Cannot open file because Windows needs to know what program created the file

  After downloading some files when I try to open the file, I get the message cannot open the file, windows needs to know what program created the file.

  Any suggestions?

  Perhaps no program has been assigned to this file format and so you cannot open these files.
  I put t know which files you downloaded, but you can choose an application installed that can open these files.

  Right click the file and I have to then choose open with.
  Then, you could choose the program you want to use.

• Ultiboard files does not open in the box tool

  MS began to open UB files in Ver13 for some reason, I went and removed my 11-13 versions.

  Now they will not open in the box tool MS at all.

  I can open them directly from UB14 and then loading the file of design project...

  How can I fix?

  OK, I've corrected this myself.  Win10 has a 'useful' feature that resets your associations to file something, they think you will like better (to them) without your permission.  In this case it was probably changed to ver13, then a stranger after that I removed ver13.

  Don't know if that's what caused it this time, but I just had to go together as the association of file back to the correct version of ultiboard.

• Adobe PDF opens the dialog box "Save as" when you simply save an existing file

  Any time I hit "Ctrl + S", or go to "File - save" when you are working on an existing file, it opens the dialog window "save under. And that is not enough, the window "save under" is this new version which adds an extra step (because he wants to know if I also want to save the file in the cloud) and makes me also navigate the current folder and when I hit save it also opens another dialog asking me if I really want to replace the current file... How heavy one set of steps just to save a file that you opened to make a little change - we do not save money, just save.

  Please, can someone fix this? I think he was born in the current version, the last, so it could probably be a bug (the 'Save' option is set by mistake the method "save under") or a poor handlebars by developers.

  Adobe staff has tried to help me, asking me to "Run as Administrator". This does not solve the problem, and my post has since been ignored...

  Any help would be apprciated. Thank you

• Risks of IE settings: launch programs and dangerous files - enabled for Web Sites

  Hello

  Could someone share with me knowledge about security settings in Internet Explorer?

  The parameter name is:

  Launch programs and dangerous files

  I wonder what the risks are when this setting is "Enabled" for the Internet zone.

  Our client has suffered recently with security warnings when you open a local shortcut. Targets of shortcuts even to local building Windows applications such as Wordpad. And it does not matter where the shortcut is present, whether on office files or local like c:\temp

  The security warning is of type: publication could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?

  The problem only started after the installation of Internet Explorer 11. Customers with the old version of IE does not suffer from this issue.

  We have confirmed two work solutions:

  1. launch programs and potentially dangerous files - enabled for the zone Internet

  2. Add the registry entry:

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations]

  «LowRiskFileTypes "=".avi;.» beats;. com;. cmd;. exe;. htm;. HTML;. lnk;. MPG;. MPEG;. MOV;. MP3;. MSI;. M3U;. rar;. Reg;. txt;. vbs;. WAV;. zip; »

  But we would need to know the security risks for the launch of programs and dangerous files - enabled for the Internet zone.

  Somehow, I'm not able to find a good article that describes this feature and risk.

  Or can you suggest an alternative? Could this be caused also by a patch?

  Thanks in advance

• Open/Save dialog box as in Windows 7 appear not

  Hello

  I have an intermittent problem with Windows 7.  I tend to keep the programs up and running for weeks, because every day instead of shutting down the computer, I put on standby.  The problem is, after a few weeks to go in and out of sleep, the open/save as box stops in programs which were broadcast during weeks of dialogue.  Here is an example:

  I open word, excel, firefox, January 1.  I opened random documents by clicking through Explorer or just browse the web.  But I never completely close all programs.  I could open up doc1, doc2, doc3, doc1 close, open doc4, narrow doc2, etc..  All programs stay in memory.  After a few weeks, said Jan 28, if I select file-> open, the dialog box is not pop up.  I can open via the documents Explorer, but no file-> open.  Also, I can't make a file-> save as.  I can do-> file save (saves the document), but nothing that causes the dialog box.  It is reproducible in word, excel, firefox, or any other program, I leave the door open for several weeks.

  Here's the weird second problem.  Say I got word, excel, and firefox open for weeks.  If I exit excel completely, and then restart, the dialog box continues to work in excel.  But it remains broken in word and firefox.

  Everyone race in this issue?  Somehow I can fix this without having to restart the program?  The main reason, it's a problem for me is because I do not often know that this problem occurred.  Hopefully, I'll open a spreadsheet from a web page and start editing.  I try to do a save as, only to find the pop dialog box - up will not appear and I can't save the work I do.  Or I have a word document open for weeks.  I usually just hit the Save button, but this time I want to save it under a different name.  I can't do it while this problem is here and I have to close microsoft word completely to get the box to start working again.

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  The key is that every so often, you have to restart things, windows programs, the computer itself, in order clearly to all the memory, unload all managers, the .dll files - indeed clear the cobwebs from the computer. If you do not, you can continue to run into the problem you describe.

  For my part, even if I do not turn off my computer, I restart from time to time to get a fresh start, for me, that means being able to have all the features with drag-and-drop processes; for you, this is the Save as dialogue box.

  Nothing else to do.

  Kind regards

• Use of action script 3.0 to play my SWF file only once?

  Good afternoon

  I would like to know how to play my SWF file only once, when I select CTRL + ENTER to test the file.  Currently it continues just looping.  I tried not stop(); but it freezes to the framework.  I tried also Stop at nothing doesn't.  In Dreamweaver, you can import the SWF file and program it to play only once.  I did it: http://www.vfw969.org.  However, I would like to create an index.fla file that does the same thing while I am able to add some improvements to the page.  Thank you.

  You were afraid to adapt or something?  Fortunately, I have a magnifying glass is close.

  In this upper layer named Actions, nothing in this last keyframe (picture 25).  This is where you will place the stop(); command.  The Actions window open, select the image and type stop(); in the Actions Panel.  If you do it right, there should be a lower case 'a' in this last image when finished and the animtion must stop here.
