  • Problem opening files in MS Paint

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on an ASUS Gaming Notebook aged 2 years.  All installed software is set up to receive the latest updates.


    About 3 days, 24/09/2012, UTC - 6 h, I started to experience problems opening files inside MS Paint.  Recently used files open without problems, but when I used the drill down menu file and clicked Open, the File Manager window opens but seemed not completely.  It stops before you post content in the panels on the left or right.  After waiting almost a minute, an error window opens saying that the Paint program does not react with the choice of activation of one of the 2 buttons, Debug or Cancel.
    Despite my system restarts and run virus scans, nothing seems to be broken.  I did, however, go through the Event Viewer to see what specifics have been involved in these accidents.  As I'm not a programmer or remotely competent in any language of software, the only elements that makes any sense to me were mspaint.exe & explorerframe.dll mentioned in Application event error reports as well as a series of numbers. (I also made the applet of Quicktime, 22, do not overwrite my selections of extension of file to default, programs installed that I read in another forum, it tends to do with files visual & audio) So now, I have several issues with that I hope other posters can help me:
    • Everyone knows that I have here and have been able to solve it?
    • Is it possible to uninstall, and then reinstall the paint? (I don't want to do a restore system b/c my last restore point was in April).
    • Any of you know how I can repair this situation or even help out there so I could fix the problem myself?
    • Is it possible to have reported this instance to Microsoft somewhere other than the generic return route?

    Thank you very much for reading and doubly so if you can shed some light on this dilemma.

    MaryBeth

    A restore point can be created manually, but when you use windows update a restore point is often automatic created in the update process.

    Simply type 'Restore' in the search text box programs & files, double-click the shortcut to "System Restore" which results in and follow the instructions (note the show more restore point box)

  • How can I fix the problem of not being able to open files by double clicking with photoshop

    How can I fix the problem of not being able to open files with photoshop by double-clicking it in windows Explorer?

    This problem affects psd, jpg, and png files.  I get an error saying "the program can't start because adbeape.dll is missing on your computer.  I can open all these types of files in the menu 'open' in photoshop.  It is not a matter of them not having no not extensions.  I use windows 7.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the update.

    Just for test, could you please rename Photoshop.exe to Photoshop CC2015.exe location: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC2015

    then change the file association to the new renamed exe file and let us know if this helps or not.

    How can I fix the problem of 'linked file' when opening file on other computers?

    The links must travel with the illustrator file. In other words, you can't send someone your page layout and not send them all the assets placed in the layout. However, you can embed links, but their incorporation will make your file much more available.

    Use the links Panel to incorporate images. Click on the small icon in the upper right corner of the control panel link drop-down list. I've included a screenshot.

  • Open .PS file problem

    Hello

    I have a problem with opening files .PS with adobe reader. I have Adobe Reader is installed on 2 computers, both are Adobe Reader 11.0.11. On computer 1, the file opens without a problem but on computer 2 adobe will give a file not supported / corrupted. I tried to look at the option of the two and they seem to be the same. I tried a reinstall both to see and after reinstalling PC 1 was still able to open the file, 2 PC now shows a white icon and windows needs to find a program to open the file. So far, I still find all messages about this problem and hoping that I'll find someone here who may have an idea of what continues.

    Thank you

    Well after doing some research, we found that a third part Postscript viewer has been installed on the PC 1. It's curiously names under the list of uninstaller so it crossed at the first glance. It seems that this convert the file and open with adobe reader. Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.

    I recently installed Mac OS 10.9.x Mavericks.  Since then, I've had problems opening files in 11 elements.  I upgraded to 12 items, blindly hoping the problem fixed itself, however it does not.   When I try to open a file from the Finder window appears then disappears immediately.  Occasionally, it will remain open until I scroll down to the bottom, but then closes.   I keep files on an external drive, but the drive work with other applications, so I don't think it's that.  If anyone has had a similar problem and has ideas, I would be grateful that the program is unusable at the moment.  Thank you very much anticipation in

    It is extremely important to remove update preferences to the Mavericks:

  • Cannot open files of Pages saved in my folder to iCloud

    If I create a page file on my iMac and save it in my iCloud account, I can't open it from there if I need to access it again. The only way I can open it is by connecting to iCloud and opening it from this location. Can someone please let me know if this process is correct, or do I have to change a setting somewhere for me to open my files from the folder local iCloud on my iMac. I have no problems at the opening of MS Word documents. Any help on this would be appreciated.

    Ken

    Start Pages and when the open file picker appears, click on the entry reader favorite iCloud and then navigate to the document, either in the folder of your Pages, or another folder. Click it, and then select open.

    If this does not work, search for the document in the Finder and then while pressing the option key held down, drag the file to your desktop. Double-click to open pages.

  • The numbers "could not open file for some reason any."

    Suddenly some of my documents of numbers prompt response "numbers" could not open file for some reason any ' "the document is unavailable. Other documents numbers remain accessible. My backup versions invites the same response when I try to open them. Is there a solution?

    Hello Fred,.

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important is able to open all your files in numbers is for you!

    If I understand correctly, you cannot open some files of numbers even from backups, but others continue to work. To limit this problem, I would suggest starting with the following steps:

    1. first of all, run disk utility and check for questions on your hard drive, as hard drive problems can lead to situations like yours.

    Disk utility (Yosemite): a disc repair

    2. then, you can test this in a new user, to refine, if it's a question broad system or specific to your username.

  • Error "cannot open file."

    I have problems with Pages 5.6.1 on my MBP. Everytime I try and open a project, or save a new one, I get a "cannot open file" error. "

    The files all work very well using iCloud web access and on another Mac and iPad but not on this one machine. Oddly, when I close the Pages and try to copy a file from disk to iCloud Pages on my Mac, I get the error message that says that the file is "updated".
    I've not yet deactivated and reactivated Pages in the player iCloud in system preferences settings - I wonder if someone could suggest an alternative.

    Right-click on the file itself before you open it.

  • 5.5.3 pages does not open files created with pages 5.6.1

    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.

    These files are not compatible? I get an error or anything like that, they simply do not open (nothing happens).

    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.

  • Tecra M7: Vista 'Open file security warning' for Alptec pointing device .exe files

    I gritted my teeth and updated my M7 for Vista Ultimate Friday. Overall I am very happy with the results. I have stripped the machine of all Toshiba drivers before installation and then re-installed all Vista drivers afterwards.

    Everything seems to be OK aside, whenever I boot, I get the following errors when the device pointing Alptec drivers load: open file security warning - the Publisher could not be verified.
    Are you sure you want to run this program? The file is: C:\Porgram Files\Apoint2k\appoint.exe, then the same thing for: c:\Popram Files\Apoint2K\ApmsgFWD.exe and C:\Program Files\Apntex.exe. I click "Run" on each of the applications and uncheck the button "always Me ask."

    It makes no difference and every time that I reboot, I get the same error. If anyone has had this problem, and if so, do you know how to fix it?

    I suspect it is a problem of certificate with Alps Electric Co Ltd and have checked their website and found nothing.

    Help much appreciated as always.

    Hello

    Just a question before we start any discussion here: have you downloaded and installed the drivers, tools and utilities for Toshiba download page in order facilities listed in the instructions facilities document?

    BTW: where you have downloaded the pointing device Alptec driver?
