• After removing a virus from my computer, I can't access any of my programs like Windows Media Player. Pop - up says choose program to open the file type.

  After removing a virus from my computer last year, I struggle to access most programs such as media player and other things.  When I try to open something, I get a popup asking me to choose the program I want to use to open this file. For some programs, this file is actually listed.  But for the most part, they did not.  For example, Nero express is what I use to copy CDs or DVDs.  I have to go into a safe mode to use it as well as using programs to run virus checks.  I was told that the virus had somehow corrupted or affected my file extensions.  I almost had cheated using powerful PC Max but did some research beforehand.  Any suggestions?

  original title: File Extension problems

  If you need to go to Safe Mode in order to use certain applications (for example, Nero Express), particularly antivirus scans, you most likely have not successfully removed all malware from your computer.

  How did you remove the virus from your computer last year?

  You then install an antivirus application?  Which one?  Are you still using it?  What's his current subscription? Its subscription has already been authorized expiration?

  What version of Windows, including service pack, do you use?

  What other anti-malware software do you currently use?

  Have you analysed recently with the following free tools?  Otherwise, download, install, update and run scans (not simultaneously) with each of them:
  MalwareBytes AntiMalware
  SUPERAntiSpyware
  Like many also restore file associations.

  • Right-click on a file and select open with > choose program.
  • Look in the lists of programs (split in 'Recommend programs' and 'Other programs')
  • If you can't find the application you want to use to open this type of file, click on the button "Browse".
  • The "Program Files" folder should open (if it isn't, go to C:\Program Files
  • Find the program you want to use.  If you are looking in C:\Program Files\------, you determine which file is the actual program.  You should be able to tell from the icon.  If not, see note below)
  • Select the program (the exe file or the name of the program in one of these lists) and check the box "always use the program selected to open this type of file"
  • Click OK
  • Repeat the above for each type of different file according to the needs

  Note: If you need to determine the EXE file for an application, just right-click on the shortcut you use to start the program, and then select Properties.  Click on the tab "shortcut".  The 'Target' box contains the path name to go to the executable (EXE file) for the program.   For example, the executable file for Firefox is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

  There are a few exceptions, including but not limited to Microsoft applications, which use a more obscure reference to the target.  Word, for example, indicates the 'target' as a 'Microsoft Office' gray of no matter the version.  The real exe for Word is 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICEnn\WinWord.exe' where the nn refers to the version of Word that you have (Word XP/2002 is 10, Word 2003 is 11, Word 2007 is 12, Word 2010 is 14).

  If you need assistance with a shortcut that does not directly show the name of path, ask.

• Why can't I choose the file type?

  When there is a listed image and there is more than one option for the file type, why am I not able to choose the format I want?  I recently spent the Dollar Photo Club and I'm irritated, with the move, I think that I have all the Adobe products to access the files.

  Twice he came now I chose an image and sent a .ai file.  I can't open the .ai files because I do not use a program Adobe!  I understand that these wheels are specifically designed for Adobe and I would not have chosen this type of file for this reason.  My problem is that BOTH times the available file type was also listed as a .eps file!  I am able to use this file type.

  However, it only gives me the possibility to download this form, even if he says that it is available.  How can I use the image if I can't open it?  Why .eps as a format from the list and then only let me download in a format that I can not use?

  This is the ID for the two files I've lost credits on.  It clearly states that these two are available as a .eps, yet I can't access it.

  #28242166

  Megan, the dedicated team working on this and it seems to work that way for a long time only; every time, it downloads a file .ai only.

  From of now the workaround that you can try is to open the file IN Illustrator and save it as .eps.

  Hope that helps!

• Open the files in several folders and run

  Hello guys,.

  I have several files in several folders, I would like to know is it possible to automatically open the files in folders and execute action defined in PS.

  Example: I 1-folders12 (folder name will change regularly), I have 5 files in folder 1, 10 in folder2 and 7 in folder3,... and so on.

  I need a script to open the files one by one and perform the action to the PS and nearby, once all the files are processed in the Folder1, the script should search for folder2 and until the last folder. Is this possible? looking for consultant.

  

  This should be possible with just using Image Processor, which comes with the PS. Just check the box that says to all subfolders.

• Changed the name of a bookmark in a folder, now when I try to open the file, it tries to open every bookmark in the file.

  I have a folder of bookmarks in the toolbar. I changed the name of one of the bookmarks in that folder. The next time I tried to open the file, I had (and continue to receive) a message saying that I'm about to open 47 tabs, and this can slow down the firefox. I have only to open the file, not each bookmark in it and does not know how to get it by allowing me to do.

  That only happens if you click on this button to folder in the bookmarks toolbar, or you cannot open this folder in the sidebar (Ctrl + B) or the bookmarks menu as well?

  Hi all

  I am trying to open a template file in illustrator, but get this error when opening the file.

  

  and my code is as follows,

  AIActionParamValueRef fActionParamValueRef = NULL;

  ASErr result = sAIActionManager-> AIActionSetStringUS (fActionParamValueRef, kAIOpenDocumentNameKey, filePath);

  sAIActionManager-> PlayActionEvent (kAIOpenDocumentAction, kDialogOff, fActionParamValueRef);

  am I missing something? Please suggest.

  You must at least initialize fActionParamValueRef

  result = sAIActionManager-> AINewActionParamValue (& fActionParamValueRef);

  You should also check the return values of calls.

• When I try to open Firefox and explore, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file.

  Original title: open Firefox and explore

  When I leave early to Mozilla Firefox or Explorer, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file. When I do, I get a security warning asking if I really want to do. If I check "Run", I get redirected to the previous list, and I find myself in a circle without end. It does not matter what choice to make. Used to be that I went from starting Firefox directly.  I can get in if I have Firefox right click and choose to run the file as an administrator and then give permission to open the program. How can I cut these two additional and direct access, that I used to enjoy. I run Vista. The same thing happens if I have to explore. Would be grateful for the help.

• How to open the file? Many types of files, check the type and call app to open it.

  HI.everyone.

  I am doing a project like dropbox.

  The problem is:

  server-side has several files of different types.

  such as: word, excel, file, file pdf image and so on.

  After the file is downloaded.

  How do I know what app is the type of file.

  and call this app to open the file?

  I can get the file type of the file name extension.

  But I do not know how to find the application that can open this file.

  or if this device have any application can open the file. Then, it will show you an alter.

  like dropbox app.

  Please help me.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  For above 4.3 and higher, you can use API call to achieve this. In regards to my understanding, it works as follows (Please correct if I am wrong).

  -All files (PDF, excel etc) readers save with BONE graft as "I am able to open the file whose mime the type XXX.

  - So, when you pass the path to the API Invocation, it searches for reader app there is place and request that you open the file. (I know not if more a reader installed in the device that achieved reference)

  Here's the code that worked for me,

  Invocation invocation = new  Invocation();
  invocation.setAction(ContentHandler.ACTION_OPEN);
  Registry registry = Registry.getRegistry("");
  registry.invoke(invocation);
  

  If none of the application saved in the requested file format it then throws the exception.

  Another option is to pass the path to the browser by using the private API to display the files...

  Let me know if it works for you...

  Thank you

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.

• I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc. Then tried to open saved files with IE and started acting weird.

  zip files

  I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc.  Then tried to open the files saved with IE.  IE went into free fall.  ???

  I have no idea what opened the backup files when you have double-clicked, or if you will not quote you took after doing this...  However, the official way to 'Browse' the content of the backup...

  You can view the contents of your backup by opening the wizard to restore files.

  1. Open backup and restore by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance and then click Backup and restore.

  2. Do one of the following:

     • To view your files, click Restore my files.

     • To display files all the, click on restore files for all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. Do one of the following:

     • To browse the contents of the backup, click Browse for files or click Browse for folders.

       When you browse folders, you will not be able to see the files in a folder. To view individual files, use her browse for files option.

     • To search the contents of the backup, click search, type all or part of a file name, and then click search.

  If you back up to the top PC (VHD) integer then you mifght consider this trick:
  http://www.Petri.co.il/mounting-Vista-backups-using-Windows-complete-PC-Backup.htm

  According to the edition of Windows Vista that you have (and how useful, you will find the possibility to look at old versions of a given file and possibly restore), this could be useful to you:
  http://www.ShadowExplorer.com/
  (not a replacement of relief.)

  With regard to the rate of success vs. failure rate of backup - it is difficult to measure.  Indeed most of the people backs up incorrectly.  It's really * not * enough to set a backup and forget about it.  If you test ever that your backups work/glance to see if you are backing up the good thing - it's just not wise.  Although most people expect that it is essential that the backups were working properly (not a test, a real emergency) to be discovered.  Most individuals who report failures, unfortunately, fall into this category "when my aircraft crashed and I went to my backups - it turns out _ backup _ does not and never told me...» ».

  A question... If you manually create a ZIP file (not a backup) - can you still Explorer in it as a folder?

  To test... Create a folder on your desktop.  Copy some files into it - of different types.  I say COPY and not MOVE on the goal here - because you can just blow this folder and all that results from this folder later if it was all fair copies of things.

  Make a right click on this folder and choose "send to" and "compress (ZIP) file and give a name to the new 'folder '.  (It's really a file.)  On your desktop, you should have the original folder you created and copied some stuff in, and a new "folder" with the name you just gave.  If you open the 'new' folder - you should see the name of the folder that is still on the desktop and go to this folder, you should see the files.  You literally use Windows Vista to the 'discovery' inside a ZIP file as if it were a folder.
