trying to copy a file that had been opened on another computer and get "invalid MS-DOS function".

With a flash drive, I took a document to another computer with a version of Excel, I had never seen.  I then brought the document to my own computer, opened it and was missing the lines and columns headers.  I also tried to copy the file to my CD - RW and the message "invalid MS-DOS function".

I think that you had better know what was the Excel program. and say to the people in the Forums of Excel when you repost here...

  • 09 pages start without opening any files that have been opened before

    I find that Pages and preview and more everything to always come on "refractory".

    I restart my Mac or that you leave the Pages 09 and when I run the application Pages 09 he recalled ten documents I had open and opens to them.

    It takes a lot of time.

    Can I start Pages without all the docs that have been opened, when he went haywire have revived?

    It is always a good idea to save and close all open documents. Should hang the system, failed, or through power failure, open documents are at risk.

    In system preferences: General, select shut down windows when you exit an application. From the Apple menu, both the reboot... and stop... the dialogues have a checkbox that will again open windows when you log in. Make sure they are turned off.

  • Defrag damage a file or its folder that had been open and saving the changes?

    BACKGROUND

    ("Work") file, including the file ("History.xls") I opened its doors and mounting and don't save while Disk Defragmenter is running in the background 'disappeared' AFTER that I closed on History.xls and then Defragmenter.

    COMMENTS:

    After the cancellation of defragmentation:

    • All other folders seem to be present. However, it took between 15-30 seconds for them to open the 'first' time.
    • Defrag never stopped, didn't report it was over, or what "improvements", he did. I had to "Cancel".
    • Files was between 15 and 30 seconds to open "Preview".
    • The 'Work' folder was still present in the directory tree display. When I clicked it, however, he was nowhere to be found. Could not display it in the command line or from the administrator command prompt. Just a folder with some of my most valuable files - gone!
    • Defrag has run longer than 24 hours because: 1) the instructions says it could take several hours and 2) he has spent most of the time 'analysis' 3) all other options are grayed out and 4) 'You can still use your computer while the defragmentation process'... Finally, I had enough.
    • To the best of my knowledge, I did not remove the file still less his file.
    • The file or the folder are in the trash.
    • The computer had worked perfectly until I ran Defrag (now its response slow BUT WORSE I get back is no longer a very valuable file).

    Disk capacity HARD and utilization (GB):

    Hello

    Defrag will not damage any file or folder.

    Fragmentation makes your hard drive to do extra work that can slow down your computer. Disk Defragmenter rearranges fragmented data so can work more effectively your hard drive.

  • Record of the comments in the file that has been opened

    Hi all

    I was wondering if someone can help me.

    I am trying to send a record of file excel hyperlinks to PDF files I saved specifically for comments from people. However when the ER comment opens the PDF file and adds his comments when they try to save the file, it usually automatically save to the original file, it only will allow them to save as a new file name and a location. And to make it even more difficult to Adobe Reader 11 is not even open the record - as the path to the location of the original file, so the comment-er can not simply click on the original and save on top.

    Can anyone suggest how to set up a PDF file that people can add comments and then just hit save, using Reader 11?

    Thank you

    JC

    I found a solution, and it is not to use Adobe Reader to read and comment, basically.

    If I open PDFs through foxit, even a hyperlink, add my comments and just click on save, it save on the old file rather than force me to cross the Sava - like process (and I also have to navigate to find where the original file was recorded in the first place.)

  • How should I treat the files that have been opened by using my LabVIEW application?

    Hello!

    I want to put the code in my LabVIEW program that she will handle a file opened with.  Let's say I have create my app as an .exe.  I have my .exe associated with a particular file type in Windows.  If the user double clicks on the file, it will launch my labview application.

    How can I get the information in path of file of the file that the user has clicked on in my code so I can handle?

    Thanks for your time!

    -nic

    @Ravens-

    If you put:

    SuperSecretPrivateSpecialStuff = True

     

    In your file LabVIEW.ini, it will unlock an "OS Open Document" event to use in a block Structure of the event with a 'File Path' node on the left side.  Whenever the application is launched via a file of the operating system, this event fires (even if your application is already up to-and-operational).

     

    Works like a champ and is enough would apply us!

    When I opened the window "save the Page under", the drop-down box file name indicates the files that have been saved a long time ago. It is not cleared by a function 'clear history' that I can find. How can I erase this?

    Hello.

    I think this is a related issue of Windows, because it is the Manager to save the windows file that we are talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help with this one, I think. You expect to be able to delete entries simply by touching delete on your keyboard when they are concentrated (that is how it goes for the removal of the form entries specific autocomplete in Firefox), but I have not tried.

    I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

  • Error: Copy Photos "Windows has encountered a problem wen trying to copy this file.

    original title: copy files confuses computer!

    When I try to copy photos on my drive E or D (which I've done a thousand times) it now says ' widows has encountered a problem when trying to copy this file "... What do you do?

    There are two approaches you can take.

    One solution: you can copy files into smaller "chunks" until you identify the file that causes the error, and then try to find out what is the problem with this file.

    Another solution is to download the program "Robust copy" (Robocopy) to Microsoft and it allows to copy your files.  You download and install in the Windows 2003 Resource Kit (works fine on XP).

    Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit:
    <>http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=17657 >

    Once installed, you can open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
    Robocopy "C:\photos" 'E:\photos' /R:5 / s
    Where "C:\photos" will be replaced by the source directory, and the 'E:\photos' is the destination directory.  the "/ S" option will copy the subdirectories and the R:5 option retries 5 times on error before moving on to the next file.  Errors should be displayed on the screen and I found errors of command line to be more descriptive than GUI errors.  There are a lot more options, but this should help you get started.
