• All .exe files go to the Download Manager and ask if you want to run or save

  Suddenly my pc win 7 cannot run .exe files.  When it starts, I get several windows asking me if I want to run or save each of the boot files.  When I click on an icon for an application, I get the same thing.  If I click on for example a Word document file, Word opens very well, but I can't not all .exe files to run directly.  Even if I go to the Task Manager and click on "new task" and try and invoke Notepad - for example "do you want to run or save.  Even if I go to the control panel and ask search and solve problems - "do you want to run or save rundll32.exe"... Ditto for chkdsk and even for antivirus scanners or malicious software.  All the solutions I can find here seem to imply somehow running a .exe program to diagnose / fix and that's exactly what I can't do.  If you click on "run" in the download dialog there is an attempt to open a window, and then you're right to "do you want to run or save" the same .exe program.  Programs that save files still work all their saved files, it seems a simpler problem rather than a massive corruption.  Yet Labour Office associations, such as the 'open with' for example image files.  Any ideas before you give up and reinstall Windows?  Thank you very much!

  Any ideas before you give up and reinstall Windows?

• Error message "Windows cannot open this file" for all .exe files.

  I have talked with agents of cat and directly by e-mail to a person called Betty to and followed the steps all the recommended without correcting this problem. I can only run a .exe file in a folder. Any attempt to run an exe from Windows XP - Pro results in a box with the above mentioned error. He also said "to open this file, Windows needs to know what kind of program created." It is now more than a month to get this resolved. It only allows me to easily perform some maintenance and even investigations when necessary. This is the only problem I have with my system. I used AVG 2011 to clean my system to any virus or Trojan horse, and he pointed out that there is no intrusion. This sounds like there should be a simple solution because nothing else is affected. I am very frustrated not to find a solution after such a long time.

  Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now) and
  Double-click it, and then run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with
  other programs according to the needs. Use this method to others as needed - NOT assume all
  a program deletes all or that it is no other malicious software.

• Why do I suddenly have 2 editions of Word in my computer? And they have all my files listed. How can I delete one without losing all my files?

  When I open a file to someone else, yesterday, he downloaded a second edition of Word on my computer.  I deleted the icon, but she returned when I connected again, taking several minutes to open.  I can only find an edition of Word basics.  But the two icons take me to the Word program, and two, I see all my files.  What should I do, please?

  Hi Chris,

  I see that you have problems with more than a word icon. I'll help you with this problem.

  Please ensure that only one icon is present on the desktop. You can remove the icon of other words. Remove the icon will not affect documents that you have created.

  You need to right click the icon you want to remove and select Delete. This will remove the icon on the desktop and move it to the trash. You can empty the trash later.

  I hope this helps.

• Dear God help me! Why Adobe should turn PhotoShop into a one-program-fits-all solution?

  Hi people,

  It is a form of cry a hole deep enough... I am a professional Retoucher and Artist/Illustrator... Not to boast or waving for attention here, but I spent the last two decades at the top of my game, where using photoshop is concerned, but it seems that this comfort zone is over... I'm drowning my beloved software turned to quicksand under my feet. The very foundation of my professional knowledge has turned to despair because I don't know what to do about this!

  I was silently dying for about two months now after having upgraded from CS3 using CS5... Whenever I update, I roll with the punches. There are sometimes good things, but especially now, professionally speaking, the bells and whistles just weigh down me. Adobe moves the goal post trying to respond to casual users, while undermining the elegance of the function first in the program.

  The question that started me here today is, "removal of pixels" using the "Delete" key when in quick mask, it's driving me crazy...

  PLEEEEASE someone tell me how to disable the 'fill' dialog that appears whenever I press the DELETE key (when I'm in the quick mask).  I want to just delete the "background color" (as I've done since the beginning of time) without the dialogue that adds a new step in the process... It used to be that if I wanted a 'dialogue', I simply press 'shift + delete' (which was a PERFECT solution when I wanted more options), but now this 'shift + delete' is the default position and I don't know how to get around to keep my workflow simplified as possible... Time is money, and the madness at work is a bitter reward for the upgrade of a piece of really professional software.

  I ask Adobe, why trouble what is not broken? ... It used to be perfect... NOW I have 20 YEARS ' worth of reflexive habit creating anxiety in my workflow whenever I now try to use this database functions. It is amazing to be honest. I'm using Photoshop since version 2.5, and the point is that I used to use all Adobe graphics software programs in a concentrated state of MINDLESS... it's to say, ' without thinking '. But no more...

  What's with the constant will to these things too? Once the most elegant of all the software programs (even means Adopbe Illustrator, which reached its peak at version 6), using Photoshop today reminds me heavy Corel Draw dates back to 1989, which was so big and horrible compared to the 2 Illustrator and photoshop 2.5 in those early days... Once upon a time, you knew what the program was, and you know what you had to do the work GET done using the tools available. Now, instead of using the full extent of the program and all these "benefits" I ignore a large part of them, coz they mess HALL added things...

  I want the simplicity of 'form follows function' in the software...

  I have to ask, what's with the new 'zoom' in the PS that doesn't work the same way in other CS5 programs, which are the same as the older versions? ... It is not a bad zoom, actually it has its strong points when you used to, BUT, there is a deployment ridiculous, half-baked idea that should have been implemented across the entire suite programs prior to release. Now, I am suffering between the new zoom jerk in the PS and the traditional zoom (perfect condition) which remains in Illustrator and indesign. It's like having someone cut the grass unless you walking along minding your business.

  You want to work with 3D? ..... Why not use a 3D program dedicated to who will do the job properly and leave the retouch editing tool... I want just a chisel which has a 'Blade '... I have need a tracking radar garnished with x-rays that also allows me to see through walls when firing grenades at my woodwork. ALL I want is hardened steel, and a solid feel in my hands... The program to weaken the bells and whistles in PhotoShop. ..... . WHAT the hell is the 3D feature in Photoshop for? ... Abobe should bring back Dimensions (since nothing they have done since the abandonment of this program can hold a candle to the functionality of this EXCELLENT program niche) for TRUE 3D construction and rendered in postscript format.

  With extensive experience and skills in reference is now an inflexible "rod" down my back, when it comes to this new version. It feels like 20 years of competence goes in the toilet. And for what gain for the serious and capable user? Software and interface additions that undermine the essential power of these once wonderful programs to work effectively, is finally bold and a burden that the software itself does not have to bear.

  Does anyone think this way? Is what someone else frustrated by the bells and whistles overbearing? In my humble opinion, Photoshop has turned to sludge. Try to be all things to all people might expand the market and sell licenses, but she leads me into the wall on a daily basis... Maybe I'm just too old, but I want to get out the tools now...

  Someone please give me and answer this riddle of 'remove key '... I'm going to lose my mind do my 'job '.

  Thanks in advance.

  Sincerely,

  Charles

  Regarding deleting key bringing up the dialog box to fill (this happens only on a layer of background BTW) - the development team implemented this way to allow the discovery of the user of the Content Aware feature - which is what you want to use for most users, when you delete a part of an image. In earlier versions of Photoshop, the delete key was located to "fill" will be background color (this also only occurs on a background BTW layer) for which he was already a shortcut (cmd + delete) who loses his reason makes the shortcut [Remove].

  Zoom behavior change was also a case of discovery of the user. It is in fact fairly intuitive if you're not used to the way inherited from the zoom. The key is to understand how the new behavior.

  Activate the zoom by clicking on the area you want to zoom in on and hold down the mouse button. When you drag to the right, you zoom in on the point where you clicked initially. When you drag to the left, zoom you out to the point where you clicked initially.

  If you decide that you still prefer the old behavior, you can disable the new behavior by selecting the Zoom tool and unchecking 'Scrubby Zoom' on the toolbar options.

  As pointed out by other users, it seems that you need to update your OS and Photoshop with the latest updates.
