Previewers file does not not in Explorer

I can't "preview" files in Explorer, most of the types of documents in any case.
Viewers the image not always seem to work.
If I open the preview pane, and then select all. TXT. DOC, or. XLS files, the preview pane says:

"This file cannot be previewed because of an error in the Windows TXT preview generator."
"This file cannot be previewed because of an error in the Microsoft Office Word outline generator."
"This file cannot be previewed because of an error in the Microsoft Office Excel preview generator."

Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

I found a solution that seems to have worked for me.  In Microsoft Word, I went to:

Office Button-> Word Options-> resources and click on "Run Microsoft Office Diagnostics".  It took a while.  It is a problem of installation as the latest test of 40 tests.  I closed Word and reopened, and previews are busy again.

    I can receive and open the email, but when I click on anything in the email a box comes up which says "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the set associations Control Panel. Don't know what to do. Any help would be great.

    [Original title: windows mail problem]

    ... when I click on anything in the email is a box that says "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action...".

    Everything is a bit wide.

    Assuming that you are talking about the first, (re-) represent Internet Explorer as default browser by clicking on the Start button then clicking default programs. Select set your default programs, and then Internet Explorer in the left page and click the Green Summit.

    To ensure that all users of the computer doesn't have the same problem, login Windows with an administrator account and return to the default programs page. This time, select set access and the computer program defaults.

    1. Select custom , and then click the chevrons pointing to extend the selection.
    2. Under choose a default browser, select Internet Explorer.
    3. For other browsers you use, select enable access to this program .
    4. Click OK, and then restart the computer.

    Now try to click a link in an e-mail. If it still does not work, please describe in detail what is happening, including the full text of the error message.

    I click on the links in the email and get a box that says: "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" and the link cannot be opened.

    Suggestions;

    1. make sure that your e-mail program is your default program.

    2. make sure that your Internet Explorer, or your main browser has all its faults.

    You can do both of the above by following these steps...

    Start button > right column, click default programs > click Set Your Default programs...

    1. click on your e-mail program > it doesn't say "this program has all its defaults"?
    If not, click on choose by default for this program > check all boxes below the list > click on save when finished.

    2 do the same as above for your Internet Explorer, or your main browser.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I see you've found an error "file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" when you click office and recent places.

    1. Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    2. What is the full error message?

    I suggest you to report to us the screenshot of the Advanced window so that we can understand what exactly the situation.

    The average while you can try the following steps and check if the error reappears.

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    Start the computer in safe mode and check the number.

    Some options, including the mode safe mode, start Windows in a limited State, where only the essential is started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as a possible cause.

    Follow this link provided below to start your computer in safe mode.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2:

    Put the computer to boot and check if the problem persists.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 of the KB article provided above.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    It will be useful.

  • RH 8 link to external file does not

    I create a link to a PDF file using the dialog hyperlink RoboHelp 8.  I can use the other options in the dialog box (such as mailto, etc.) very well, but when I try the link break in Webhelp it does not work.  Not only that, but the file does not save correctly, using either save or save all icons: he recorded a version of the file that is created when the connection was not yet built, but the anchor text is there.  For example, if I use the text "Test", select it and use the dialog box to add the syntax of jumping, he adds correctly, and you can check this in code view or a text editor.  However, generate Webhelp of this file and - poof! -the syntax of jump does not appear in the file that results, that the word 'Test '.

    I can generate AIR help using the same syntax and the file records very well, and the link works.  Same thing in HTMLHelp.  Plain old HTML in a browser works.  Any ideas on what is happening and is there a workaround?

    Hello

    It is a known problem if you test by displaying the files from your local hard drive and you use Microsoft Internet Explorer as your browser.

    RoboHelp has a framework known as a mark of The Web (MOTW) which is normally activated. With MOTW, links to things like PDF and Word documents will fail.

    Try to generate WebHelp with MOTW off. This by double-clicking on the WebHelp layout in the pod of single Source Layouts.

    Once you do that then you will see another issue rear its ugly little head. When you try to view your WebHelp in Internet Explorer, you are then faced with the Bar little yellow Information (YIB). The link below will show you how to configure IE if you do not see the YIB when you test your WebHelp.

  • executable file does not appear in the list of programs

    After installation of my executable it does not appear in the list of all Windows programs. I've built a lot of executable and installers before but this is the first time I see this. The folder is created in the Program Files (x 86) directory and the program performed well when I double-click on the .exe.

    This sw was initially developed with LV10 with WinXP then moved to LV2012 with Win7 64 bit and then to LV2013 and it uses a plugin architecture (I'm still not very familiar with this).

    I also have these following questions:

    1. I don't remember so many folder created after building an exe file (see photo "filelist.png") before moving this application to LV2013, why all these dataX folders are created? (associated with the plugins?). Except for the data folder containing my ini and xml configuration files these folders all contain a single mnu file.

    2 - Why are there some records of pilot instrument included in the compilation? (Agilent, Keithley and Tek) I'm also using other equipment, and they do not appear in the construction. These problems with the build because of their tree VI live I had to either check turn debugging on or off the use of the diagram structure on these screws diagram which is certainly not the right way to do it.

    3. probably the most important, what would be a document of reference on how to create an executable and a Setup program for an application architecture plugin.

    Thank you

    You use LVOOP you use the NI Report Generation Toolkit, which is implemented using OBJECT oriented programming. Already this explains some of the additional folders that you see.

    Other components are of course part of lvlibp (packed project library) and where it will not integrate the EXE itself. Also their dependencies... which may explain support directories (data1, data2,...).

    Referring to other settings, the log file does not help much. So we can not tell you why the installation program does not create a program shortcut in "start > programs". If you check the "shortcuts", you should be able to see if there is a routine in the Setup to create such a link or not. If the parameter is there, but the installation fails to create, it can be connected to the user rights that you use to run the installer...
