When I copy a url to word, windows setup appears

Problem, all started yesterday.  No changes have been made to the system.  The only thing I did was try to start the DRC.  I have just not done a restore - no change.  I always copy URL in word.

1. when I copy a url in word, I get a pop-up windows installer / msiexec.exe starts

2. I can copy text from a web page in word with no problems

3. I can copy a url in excel and then copy into word, no problems

4. the problem occurs only copy a url directly in word.

System:

XP, SP3

Word 2003

Internet Explorer Version 7

also happens with Firefox, 5.0

Word seems to work very well.

Thanks for any help or suggestion.

    Return to your LMS administrator and ask them why they have not put in place more firmly. The scenario you mention should not occur if the LMS is well attached.

    Some LMS have the contents of the course are in a folder outside the web space so that users can access the course URL directly.  For example, Moodle t - it this way and then shot the course content in a temporary folder when the learner clicks on the link ask a module.  No matter how your LMS is supposed to do, it is currently not configured correctly.

  • I can copy a URL, but may not be able to paste into the body of an e-mail message. Also the hypelink doen't it. I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer...

    When I copy a URL and go to paste it into an email, it will not stick. Another box opens. I can paste the URL in the subject line, but doesn't hyperlink it. (blue) When you use Internet Explorer, I don't have this problem. I'm new to FF with a new computer.

    Paste a link in the subject line does not a link so that the part is normal. But being not not able to paste into the body of the e-mail is not. I can't think of a reason that would happen. What email program are you using?

  • When I copy and paste, the results are stripped of formatting.

    It's weird, I can copy and paste, but all pasting is wiped clean of formatting, underlying formulas (in Excel), hyperlinks, etc.  This happens in all programs (Word, Excel, gmail) and when the copy/paste between programs (Word to gmail).
    It must be a global setting of XP SP3.  I tried to roll back the computer a week, but the problem exists (not sure when it started).
    Any ideas?
    Thank you

  • "File Name Too Long" when copying files on USB using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

    When I copy about 60 GB of library files in a backup folder on a USB key, at the end of the copy, it is a dialog box indicating "file name too Long for the Destination Folder.  It shows that there are 62 records like that, and I can choose to ignore these files.

    1. I had formatted the USB stick to NTFS - which does not allow large file names?

    2. How can I see which files have this problem so I can shorten the file names?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    What is the capacity of the USB?

    Were you able to copy before?

    Try to format the drive once and then try and check if it is beneficial because it can also happen when there are viruses.

    You can also check the drive for errors.

  • any copy forbidden error when you try to watch HBO in windows media center.

    I get all copying prohibited error when you try to watch HBO in windows media center. It seems that my PlayReady is corrupt. Whenever I try to update game ready to go in Media Center, it fails. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling PlayReady. Said again he must udpate, and always fails. Can someone at Microsoft PLEASE Playready works. It drives me crazy,

    Still did not work.

    Then did it

    (5) download http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkId=105000 ResetDRM.exe

    (6) using winrar or winzip to extract files to ResetDRM.exe (ADVPACK. DLL CleanDRM.exe resetdrm.inf) to a temporary folder. ResetDRM does not work by itself on Windows 8 in any compatibility mode so you MUST check out it

    (7) use the Explorer to find cmd.exe to C:\Windows\System32

    (8) right click on cmd.exe and "run as Administrator".

    (9) cd to the temporary folder where you extracted ResetDRM.exe

    (10) run "CleanDRM.exe - v". A text window opens after a few seconds and check that several files have been deleted. If there is an error that a resource could not be opened for exclusive access, you may need to reboot and try again after making sure that Media Center does not start automatically

    Reset. Now works. Wow what a PITA.

    I think that it was all caused by have to swap disks.

  • When I try to copy a URL in an email, while in FF is not "live", that is, you can not go on the site by clcking on it. Works great in IE9.

    Until the other day, whenever I have copy a URL in an email, it is clickable so that the recipient can go on the web site. Suddenly it no longer works. I use Outlook 2007 to send and receive e-mail from my various accounts. As I said, this has never been a problem before. I saw a similar complaint a year ago that referred to a string or a link, but I only see in FF or my Outlook menu.

    Hey mitrajoon.

    This looks like a problem with Outlook, not Firefox. Just to be sure, can clarify you how you copy a URL in an email? Do you use the menu item "send link...". ", or do you just copy and paste?

  • Safari search/address bar of copy to URL problem

    This has been a problem for about a year, I think that, maybe more, even if I don't specifically remember.

    I often use search/address bar of Safari for searches on the internet, probably 90% of the time.  Sometimes, I want to share these search results with others.  The problem is, when I click in the address/search bar to select and copy the URL of the site, I visited, the URL is replaced with the search parameters that I had previously placed instead of the URL of the site that I actually visit.  It is not that this all the time, but very often.  Now that I'm trying to replicate, I can't, even though it took place just 20 minutes ago.  I was finally able to recreate by opening a new Safari window.  It is perhaps connected to tabs how do I open in the window?  Here is a screenshot.  Any ideas of what could be the cause?

    Try a reboot.

    Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

    Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Isolate a problem by using a different user account

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  • When you copy photos to a CD, they do not keep their chronological order.

    I use MIcrosoft scanner and digital camera & Wizard to transfer photos from my files and then place them in a timed chronic order. When I copy the photos on a CD are not in the same chronologial order. WHY?

    Thank you

    Bonnie Shaul

    When the photos are copied on a CD/DVD they are self
    sort... first in alphabetical order and then digitally.

    Once you have pictures in the order you prefer... re-
    name the files with numbers so they will stay in order.

    Right click on the first file in a group selected (highlighted)
    photos and choose... Name change.

    Enter the following for the #1 photo: (you can also
    Add a descriptive name for the Group)

    Been (10001) .jpg
    (Yes, there is a space between r and the first parenthesis)
    (Yes... Start the number 1 and use the zeros)

    Press on... Enter and Windows renamed others
    photos.

    Been (10002) .jpg
    Been (10003) .jpg
    Been (10004) .jpg
    Etc...

    If you want to continue the next group with the same
    ... Just to start on the following number sequence number:

    Been (10005) .jpg
    Been (10006) .jpg
    Been (10007) .jpg

    If you have several different subjects in the
    same folder... with each group to stay together and
    in order... see the following:

    Your photos will be... first autosort then by alphabetical order
    digitally. If you use the numbering system in the
    following screenshots.

    There should be a space between the last letter and the
    first parenthesis. The sequence number must start with
    a number before the zeros... (10001), (10002) (10003)

    If you want a specific group to be the first... Add A prefix to
    each name of file... then the B, C, D... etc... (add a space between
    the letter and the name of the file)

    With A, B, C, D prefix:
    http://images2.Snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp539%3B%3A%3Enu%3D95%3A4%3E%3B78%3E259%3EWSNRCG%3D33%3C6%3B4%3B94734%3Anu0mrj

    Without A, B, C, D the prefix (in this way, the first letter of each
    Word will dictate)
    http://images2.Snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp53985%3Enu%3D95%3A4%3E%3B78%3E259%3EWSNRCG%3D33%3C6%3B5887334%3Anu0mrj
