When opening a file that I have to choose what program created to run and some files is read only this should not be and wont open, usually of .exe files
This started after I tried to remove the gel frog via the control panel. After that this withdrawal, or if he asked me to choose a program to run a file I tried and I hit adobe and adobe is now the icon like any and will not open most of the files because it does not support, I can not open almost nothing except the browser explore. I was able to get my malwarebytes to come and showed some virus that I removed, but now I don't know how to solve other problems
Looks like your Windows file associations have to dispose. This means that XP doesn't know what to do with files by looking at the file extension (.exe for executables)., .doc for MS documents, etc. When you run Internet Explorer, it's a little different, that's why IE usually still works fine...
If you don't have it you, something done for you - most likely malware.

When I go to open a file a box comes up to choose what program I want to open with.
When I go to open a file a box comes up to choose what program I want to open with. At the bottom of this box is a place where I'm supposed to be able to check who always says "use this program to open this file" I can't check this box. I open office.org and it allows to automatically save in this format. Microsoft word program has been installed on my computer and he began to do what I said above then my daughter-in-law. I've since removed the Microsoft Word program, but it continues to make me choose program to open whenever I try to open a document that was created after she comes to settle the Microsoft word porgram. Now, even if I had clicked on save in openoffice.org, with that I always get this box asking me what program I want to open. Thank you for your help. Marilyn.
I guess the box to "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is grayed out, and that's why you can not check it out. Is this correct? Is this true for the two files that were created in OpenOffice files AND that were created in Microsoft Word (note that created is the same that that edited not)?
In OpenOffice, make sure that the "automatic file name extension" option is enabled in the file "Save as" dialog box.
- Click on "My Documents" (or open Windows Explorer and go everywhere where your documents).
- Click Tools > Folder Options and then click the view tab
- Scroll down to the bottom of the "Advanced settings" area and make sure that "Hide extensions of known file types" is NOT checked.
- Click OK
Find one or more files that is causing problems. Which file extensions are displayed (3 characters after the dot in the filename) on these files?

Cannot open file because Windows needs to know what program created the file
After downloading some files when I try to open the file, I get the message cannot open the file, windows needs to know what program created the file.
Any suggestions?
Perhaps no program has been assigned to this file format and so you cannot open these files.
I put t know which files you downloaded, but you can choose an application installed that can open these files.Right click the file and I have to then choose open with.
Then, you could choose the program you want to use.Best regards

I try to print from quicken and I get an error message that says that I have to be in the mode of administration and run restore pdfdriver.bat. I don't know what is a mode of administration, nor I know what is a pdfdriver.bat. Can anyone help?
Hello
1. what operating system do you use?
2. what web browser do you use?
3. have you made changes on your computer?
4. What is the brand and model of the printer?
5. are you able to print from other applications?
When a printer is installed, members of the Administrators group on the computer are given permission to manage the printer by default. If you have an administrator account, you can probably change the printer properties. Otherwise, you must obtain permission to manage the printer before you can change the properties of the printer.
Method 1:
If you are using, I suggest you send the link to learn how to open a session as an administrator.

I just thought that I added 8 images to my library and it turns a license all. Very delicate! so bummed that I have there is one I want to use and 8 of my images! Can I please everything reset and start over? All new, so this was a first time horrible user experience!
Hello
I'm afraid, it is not possible to reset anything, once an image has been authorized. As a gesture of goodwill, I added 7 license credits to your account to replace those allowed by mistake.
Thank you

all this happened after I did a "start analysis" by using my Avast Anti Virus. Now I can't use my anti virus yet because the same message appears. Any suggestions I'd appreciate
Its seems not that file associated to open the program appear to be corrupt . Or you might have to perform a repair install or try to create a new user account and see if it works if it does not record the data that you have on a flash drive and transfer it to a new account, and then start to use the new account
