  I always get requests to update on my office home page. After the most recent, most of my quick start icons are badges of adobe. Except a few functions are not open. When I right click on Firefox (for example) it says 'READ' rather than 'OPEN' and then displays the Adobe error box. The only other answer I received (from Ask.com) is that the update was a virus.

• on registration of the desktop icons are not displayed

  Registration using Windows XP, the desktop icons do not appear.

  You see only your background image and the wallpaper?

  Miss all your desktop icons and you don't see the taskbar at the bottom of the screen or are simply missing icons and you can see the taskbar at the bottom?

  Check the simple things first.  Right-click on an open space on your desktop, choose Arrange icons by and make sure the option show desktop icons has a check mark next to it.  This will work if you don't miss you that the desktop icons, but still see the Start button and the taskbar.  If you are missing as the Start button and the taskbar, which isn't your problem.

  If only you can see your wallpaper background picture and don't see the desktop icons and no start button or taskbar, this means that the explorer.exe program does not run (and it must be running) or the explorer.exe program are usually afflicted.  A good way to think about at the moment, it is that the process explorer.exe "is" your desktop.

  If this is the case of malware in general prepares.

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your version of XP and the Service Pack?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Sometimes your anti malware program to quarantine (and indeed remove) your file explorer.exe (or other critical files on the XP system) if it finds that the file is infected.  The file may really be infected, but you can know for sure and then reconsider your anti malware options.

  First, you need to get your work desk in order to have room for manoeuvre, then you can solve your problem of potential malware.

  Of your background image, press Ctrl-Alt-Del and open Task Manager.

  Look at the processes tab and if the process explorer.exe is not running, start it as follows:

  In Task Manager, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:

  %windir%\explorer.exe

  Click OK and see if get you your office.  If you get an error, we need to know what it says.

  If explorer.exe is already running in the processes tab, it is likely that the object of the affection and will need to be replaced (which is not difficult).

  If you notice that the explorer.exe process is already running in the Task Manager, highlight the explorer.exe process, and then click end process to stop and start a new explorer.exe process as described above.

  If things look right now, your system is still not fixed, but it should be enough usable so now you can fix it.

  I would start with these scans:

  Perform scans for malware first, then these scans by operating clean, difficulty of problems:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  Please report back with information about your system and your results if you need additional assistance.

• The desktop icons are not displayed, but appear on the office toolbar

  Recently, my niece tried to take a picture of the webcam and use it for paper painted.  She then changed back.  The next time that the computer was used, all desktop icons disappeared!

  They are still in their folder, and if the Office toolbar is enabled, all the icons are there.

  If the office is a right-click, the options menu under rearrange icons by are grayed out. the display does not appear.

  It is not a malware problem; system has MSE and in addition, the nice people at MalwareTeks have crossed me half a dozen ladies without anything to reveal.  In addition, all dashboard software works very well in the start menu, or quick launch icons or toolbars of office.

  It is XP/SP3 with all updates.  Everything seems to work, it's just that there are no icons on the desktop!

  In addition, if a new user is set up, icons ARE there on THIS desk.

  Well done.

  If the system has installed Service Pack 3 and you have a XP installation CD is an older MS if you want SFC to run quietly, you can use your old XP CD to create a new CD to install XP with SP3 "listened slip" in it.  You will also find have such a useful thing in the future.

  Unfortunately, the MS Answers forum don't ask these questions when a new topic is created, or we would now.

  There are many how to tutorials slip stream XP.

  Here is one such article that works the first time if you follow the directions (you could lose a CD or two in the process of learning well).

• ARW files are not open with ACR 9.1.1.  Color conversion/of DNG. You will need to upgrade to ACR 9.3.

  Hello world

  I bought a SONY camera that produces. ARW files.  They will not open in my Adobe Camera Raw 9.1.1.

  I use Photoshop CS6.

  I can't upgrade to Adobe Camera Raw 9.3 with CS6.

  I downloaded the DNG Converter and renders flat colors, dead.  I need bright colors.

  What must I do to get a version of Adobe Camera Raw 9.3?  I guess I have to upgrade Photoshop done

  this technically possible?

  Thanks for the help.

  Best always,

  You can insert small images like screenshots directly into a forum post using the photo icon above where you type in the text:

  

  Dropbox is for sharing large files.

  Here are three screenshots...

  Native raw in C1:

  

  DNG in ACR:

  

  DNG in Mac preview:

  

  The only problem that you are experiencing is the overview of the DNG on the Mac is dull, but the images you create are ok?  I think that the DNG Converter is what creates the DNG preview, so I don't know how upgrading to a newer version ACR would change the DNG preview.

  What version of the converter DNG you used to create the the ARWs DNG?  You could try the last DNGC 9.6: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ so this isn't one you have used.

  Also made of Adobe and rendering of C1 would be different if it's not any problem.

• . ASP files are not open with AE CS6

  All my After Effects projects show as opening with Acrobat and I can't change open with After Effects, and these were created with AE CS6.

  Any ideas?

  See you soon

  Attach your file system-level associations. You're just short of managers of context menus and so AE never registered. In any Solution Explorer window, use the options in the file menu--> organize. Find the type of gall AEP and remove all its associations, then save again by double-clicking on the file and using the open with... method to set a new default program.
