When I try to download a file (wpc) puzzles I get a page of unicode
I don't get the popup to download instead the page opens and everything is in unicode
IE does not care about MIME types, but Firefox does, and if a file is sent with a bad MIME type as in this case so you don't get a download dialog box. The opposite can also happen: IE displays the file in a tab (window) and Firefox gives a download dialogue if files of type is not text/html or text/plain.

Please HELP: How to view and edit RAW files from a Nikon D7000 in Photoshop CS?
I downloaded Adobe DNG Converter 9.0, but when I try to download a file no picture and it says gray: "no items match your search."
I'm in tight (like most designers), so any solution ASAP would be great. And Yes, I know that my Photoshop is old. Nothing I can really do about it at the moment. Thanks in advance!
In Photoshop, select help > about plug-in > Camera Raw.
If it is 2.3 or less, you need to update Camera Raw 2.4, which you can download here:

@ Evanston only!...
You see the effects of a hijackware infection! If you had used the computer longer, I might recommend trying to detect & remove infections. But it would probably take a week or two and I'm sure you have better to do with your time right now so I would recommend the following (which shouldn't take any more than two hours of uninterrupted time).
See...
Cleaning a compromised system
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspxPersonal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!
HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation and formatting the hard drive option" (or "reinstall it Windows 7") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7 article
NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").
After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:
4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspxVERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool again Norton before installing updates AND BEFORE installing your new application antivirus (for example, Avast5 or Microsoft Security Essentials, free).
Tip: Do not install Spybot again; It's really overkill in Win7 my humble OPINION, especially if you are installing Microsoft Security Essentials.

Firefox crashes when I try to download a file
Hello!
I run Firefox Nightly 8.0a1 (2011-07-08) on Arch Linux 64-bit with Gnome 3, and I have a problem with crashes when I try to download files. This does not happen in the stable version of Firefox (5) I also installed on my computer.
It is possible to open the Download Manager as long as there is no entries in the download list. But if I start a download of something - Download Manager opens with an entry (the current download) and Firefox disappears. Instantly, she disappears from the screen and the list of processes.
I tried to delete the downloads.sqlite my profile folder, but it did not help.
I also tried to rename my folder of profile all about something else and then created an empty folder of the profile with the name, was the first. When I started Firefox, then it recreates all the default content in the profile folder, so I found myself with a clean install, not amended. But it always crashed when I tried to download files. So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with extensions or similar.
Suggestions?

You do not give us the exact words, but I guess that this message appears on the screen, like on a regular PDF with this message. If so, ignore the message and save the file in the usual way on your desktop. Now open in Adobe Reader.

As he says, I had a difficult time with Firefox lately, and I think that it's corrupted. I tweaked the settings according to the suggestions on this forum and others like him, but they made the problem worse. I've updated to the latest version of the browser that has not helped, and I finally tried the "Reset Firefox" button, which was worse than anything. I lost my custom settings and Add-ons for nothing, the problem persists.
More frustrating is that it completely crashes whenever I click on tools > Options, so I'm not able to make changes to this new configuration. If I export my favorites safely, I will try to uninstall the browser and re - install an older version of it, but of course it now freezes when I try to export the bookmarks file.
Thus, apart from trashing it and starting over... any suggestions?
For the record, it's Firefox 28.0 (do not know what version it was the beginning of the sentence), and the window "On Firefox" said that it is up-to-date. I am running Windows XP.
Thanks for any help or enlightenment, you might be able to provide.
Hello
Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
- Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
- Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.
WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

When you try to copy a file 'trust' in Vista, get the message 'Copy as administrator'
I have a computer with Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit), in which I am an administrator on the computer. I have a file that is "safe" and requires administrator permission to open. Since I am an administrator, I was able to open the file. But when I tried to cut or copy the file, a message appears that I need administrator permissions to open it! Similarly, some programs that create other files (images, for example) must be open as follows so that you can actually save a picture: right click > run as administrator . If you do not open the program in this way, access is denied when you try to save a picture. But back to my account. Like programs, is it possible that I can 'copy as administrator' or 'cut as administrator'?
I discovered how to copy and paste files using a single command line. Unfortunately, you can't copy the files, not folders. Here's how to copy a file:
1. Open command prompt
2. type "copy" without the "sign, while simple letters
3. press the SPACEBAR once
4 type the location of the file you want to copy (for example: C:\Users\default_user\file.txt)
5. press the space bar once more
6. type in the destination that you want to copy the file (for example: Folder\destination C:\New folder)
7. press enter and your file should be copied. -
I am runing Windows 7 IE8 searching in Google, Microsoft Security Essentials that came pre-installed. I tried to disable the anti-virus (MSE), disabling the firewall, creating a new user account, safe mode, by saving the file on different locations, including a switching flash player. Looking for the file once downloaded, but there is no sign. I checked my file and check options "Show hidden folders". I can also view or open any e-mail attachments, pdf through Windows Live Mail i.e.excel... Help, please!
You say you have win7 and yet you have posted to a group of Vista
You cannot open an attachment unless you have the appropriate software installed, that is to say you need Excel or the excel reader in order to view an excel file.
Looks like you've been juggling your win7 settings, you do not disable the firewall or disble MSE, or create a new user account.
The default location for downloads using IE8 is C:\Users\'username'\Downloads
Assuming that you have a version of Office that is installed, insert the Office cd and run Office Diagnostics, or detect and repairs according to the version
