Programs-not 'Open with screen' opens when I click on them.

Hello

I can not open my Microsoft Office programs, MYOB etc. and there icons on the desktop and in the start menu went empty. If I open my "My Documents" folder and open a document Word etc they open well. When I click on them from the desktop or the start menu, it comes up with the 'Open with' screen (and eg - folder: MYOB.exe) for me to choose what program I want to open it with, but then don't there is no program for me to choose.

I searched the Microsoft Web site and used the difficulty he 50194 for exe files, but it didn't work.

Can someone please suggest anything else.

Thanks :)

Hi Bails80,

This occurs when the default program has been changed. You can make the default programs using set Associations.

1. open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.

2. click on associate a type of file or Protocol with a program.

3. click on the file type or protocol that you want the program to act as the default value.

4. click on program change.

5. click on the program that you want to use by default for the selected file type, or click the arrow next to other programs to show other programs. (If you don't see other programs or your program is not listed, click Browse to find the program you want to use, and then click on Open. ) If no other programs are installed that are able to open the type of file or Protocol, your choice will be limited.)

6. click on OK.

  • Change the e-mail program that opens when I click on a link in a document

    Clicking on an email address in a pdf document in Acrobat Reader, Mac Mail will open instead of the e-mail program I use, Outlook for Mac 2011.  How can I change the default program that opens when you click on a link?

    Hi Meenakshi,

    I assume you mean Adobe Reader > Preferences > e-mail accounts.  I did already but get an error message: "Error communicating with the server" when I try to send a PDF by e-mail (file > Send file > Attach to Email), even if the parameters are exactly the same as in Outlook.  Don't know how to solve this problem, although simple workaround is just to save the file locally and then send it as an attachment from Outlook itself.

    But with regard to the specific question that I asked originally, I don't try to send a document as an attachment; I am trying to send an e-mail to a hyperlink address embedded in a pdf document open. It seems the setting that you referenced only affects how documents are sent as an attachment, not what client opens when you click on a link embedded in a pdf document e-mail.

    Anyway, I solved the problem of the latter: in OSX, please make sure that in the native Mail application that the default mail reader is the application that you want to use ALL the programs/applications (Mail > preferences > General > default email reader), including Adobe Reader.  Once I put this in Outlook, click an address for e-mail embedded in a document pdf opens Outlook with the address already in the field "to".

  • My DVD player does not open when I click on the button

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me.
    My DVD player does not open when I click on the button.

    I tried clicking on eject on the DVD drive icon in my computer and it comes up with an error message.
    I think I deleted the cookies the other day. Who would have something to do with the problem?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated that I really don't want to send my phone to a technician.

    Hello

    Try to manually open the CD/DVD drive.
    Near the eject button, you will find a small hole.

    You can use a small object like staple and could push gently into this hole.

    Usually, this should help to open the drive manually.

  • My address book is not open when I click the 'To' bar in an e-mail message.

    I've recently updated to Thunderbird 4.1.0. Since that time, my address book opens not when I try to send an email from the "To" or other lines. I have to open the address book and cut and paste the address manually. How can I reconnect the AddressBook for the e-mail program?

    I've never seen the address book open when you click on to. But maybe you are on that old one version that I have missed to see that. The latest version is 34.
    Open a window of writing and turn on the contact bar by pressing F9. That allows to process emails.

    What is the bug 3.2 on the selector app shows off the screen?

    When you click on a file to open it, and there is no default program to open it with, a list of possible programs are provided to allow you to choose which program to use.

    I have 3.2 there is a bug. The list is posted outside the Visual area of the screen. The rest of the screen is blurry and slightly grey.

    The solution is to activate the auto-rotation and change beween landscape/portrait. The list of possible programs then appears and you can select how to open the file.

  • Additional tabs will not open when I click on the +.

    When I open Firefox I get a page initial, but cannot open additional tabs when I click on the '+' to open an additional tab. I have Firefox 30.

    You have all "Community Toolbar' extensions or other modules leads? These seem to be incompatible with Firefox 30 somehow.

    You can check and disable the extensions on page modules. Either:

    • Command + shift + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    What helps with the button "+"? If so, you can name the specific extension that caused the problem?

    You can also see the Plugins page modules. You can never use 'activate' to disable plugins that you do not usually use.

  • Win 7 Firefox 3.6.13, new tab does not open when you click on it, on the desktop or laptop computer.

    I can not open a new tab in Firefox 3.6.13, running Windows 7. It does work on my desktop or my laptop. When I click on the '+' to add a tab, or right-click on it and choose 'New tab', nothing happens.

    "AskToolbar" extension is causing the problem. You can disable it in tools, modules, Extensions and restart Firefox.

  • BlackBerry smartphone browser does not open when you click on it!

    So I just got the storm (great phone btw), the first thing I decided to do is to download the mobile app of facebook. As I tried to download it, it seemed that my phone had frozen. So after a bit of waiting time, I pushed the Finish button. I received two error messages (don't remember now) and that's it. As soon as I tried to open my browser once again, he did not open and has not opened since. I tried to restart the blackberry - nothing.

    Just to clarify, I can select and click on the browser, but it does not open. Any ideas on what I can do?

    You rebooted the BB how?

    To do this: with the BlackBerry device powered on, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    Try again and let us know.
