problems opening and downloading programs

Evertime I try to open a program, I get a "choose the program you want to use to open this file" and if I click on programs that they list out the box I should use run as to adminaster under the right click to open a program, and I can't download new programs

Have you tested creating another Admin user and see if they have problems?

Have you tried to download from in "Safe Mode with Networking"?

    Hello

    You cannot use the system back restore more than you have Restore Points. The only one
    Another option would be to return the system to its out of the box, as it was when
    you received. So, it would be better reset your e-mail settings and check with

  • Problems with opening the downloaded programs, specifically Photoshop 7

    Hi, my Adobe Photoshop 7 suddenly stopped opening. I googled the answer to that is: c:\documents and settings\\application data\adobe\photoshop 7.0\adobe photoshop 7.0 settings. After that, it is said to remove the preferences file in the system folder. At the start, adobe will recreate a new file preferrence.

  • Win 7, new tabs open to download programs, I don't want to, how can I stop this

    New computer with Win 7, download Mozilla, several times when moving the mouse on a new page and clicking on connection or somewhere on the page, a new tab opens, most of the new tabs will be sites soft ware, saying I have to load it a program, such as Java HD, examples: Akamidhd.net, Findsectiokn.net, ect. How to stop this?

    Thank you

    Hello

    These tabs are ads, you need a pop-up/ad block:

    Also:

    Scann your PC:

    Sometimes these problems are caused by addons

  • Pop - ups do not open and downloads do not start.

    Prevented from open Windows and new tabs. Therefore, impossible to open pop-up windows. Also, when I click on any download link, the corresponding empty tab is open, but only for a fraction of a second before I closed with force apparently.

    It could be the work of one of your modules.
    Type of topic: addons< enter > in the address bar to open your add-ons Manager.
    Access key; < Control >(Mac: < command >)< shift > has)

    In the Manager of Add-ons, on the left, select Extensions.
    Disable some add-ons, then restart Firefox.

    Some added addons toolbar and anti-virus are known to cause
    Firefox issues. Disable all of them.

    If the problem persists, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the
    the problem disappeared. After, you know which group is the origin of the problem.
    Reactivate the last group ONE AT A TIME (reboot FF) until the problem reports.

    Once you think you have found the issue, that disable and reactivate all the
    others, then restart. Let us know who the suspect is detective.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones location of saved Text messages and downloads please as a desire to update the device software

    I have a Blackberry 9300. I noticed while testing option 'restore' in Blackberry Desktop Software 'Saved messages' is grey so not able to restore and downloaded programs were not included in the backup course so I'm delaying the update of the OS 6 bundle OS 6 bundle 1879 2949 until I can get these issues resolved. First of all, where are my saved text messages would be they located on the SD card? Secondly, where are the downloaded applications and how would bring him back, I should reinstall individually or is there a better method I guess updating the software of the device would eliminate any reference to them? Thanks in advance, Marcia

    My problem, I think that will be most of the downloads and installations have been from the Blackberry web, although "My World" lists apps, I have only the option to remove and reinstall yet if I so choose. That's why I need to dig a little deeper on the aspect of the place here.

    To reinstall your applications, see this KB:

    • KB17625 How to install or transfer has already purchased apps from BlackBerry App World for BlackBerry smartphone

    You may also need to clear the cache of application AppWorld:

    1. open the App World

    2. go to my world

    3. follow one (and only one!) of these steps:

    3. for the BB keyboard-oriented - hold down the ALT key and press on, in the sequence R, then S, then T

    3B. for touch screen only BBs - hold the num-lock (! 123 button) so that it hangs and then press on, in the sequence 3, then 4, then)

    3 c for the most recent (e, g., OS6 and 7) BB s, see this KB:

    • KB24714 How to clear the cache of BlackBerry App World

    4 AppWorld must close

    5. If your BB locks after issuing clear cache, do a battery pull reboot

    6. return to AppWorld/MyWorld (it can be slow, while it re - sync).

    If (4) stage arrives not as described, then the empty the cache failed.

    I was also interested to read your information on the primary database of smartphone that made me wonder if it was at this location that the saved text messages were built. I mention this as I save some of my text messages I can consult at any time by selecting 'View the Messages stored' in the menu messages text, which lists the emails and text messages, that you saved.

    The Interface of Messages is against the databases on the BB... Watch a saved messages can be as simple as a filter that is applied to display only those, but always from the same database. Also understand that the 'Messages' is a term Super set, with "email", "SMS", and other types of messages into subsets.

    willismc wrote:
    Saving messages electronic elsewhere are not a problem but saved SMS backup does not seem to be an option, why would I need to check this feature before upgrading the device software. Appreciate your answer to that one.

    As I said, I suspect saved SMS Messages to be a subset of the base of great set 'SMS Messages"together with the message 'saved' being a subset within this database.

    I can't answer definitively for you because I've never had the problem you are experiencing. You may need to test to know for sure.

    Good luck!
