When opening .doc website link, FF adds .docx file extention &; does not open in Word 2010, with incorrect file format error. Pls Help
I use Firefox v12 to open a hyperlink to a Web site that points to a door MS Word Document to download.
Then, we are asked to open the file with MS Word (default), which is our installed version of MS Word 2010.
Firefox then renames the file by adding a .docx file name for example filename.doc.docx. MS Word 2010 opens with the error "invalid file format", which is correct that Firefox has renamed.
Is there a fix or a workaround for this?
You can try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all the actions file.

Original title: problem e mail
I click on the links in the email and get a box that says: "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" and the link cannot be opened.
Suggestions;
1. make sure that your e-mail program is your default program.
2. make sure that your Internet Explorer, or your main browser has all its faults.
You can do both of the above by following these steps...
Start button > right column, click default programs > click Set Your Default programs...
1. click on your e-mail program > it doesn't say "this program has all its defaults"?
If not, click on choose by default for this program > check all boxes below the list > click on save when finished.2 do the same as above for your Internet Explorer, or your main browser.

I use upstream, that allowed color spaces are CMYK. When I place a RGB file, preflight reports an error (very good). But when I add the Fx (effect) does not forward flight "Bevel and Emboss", report an error, which is really annoying. How can I fix? I like to have 'The transparency blend space' on "Document CMYK" and in the preflight profile "Fusion of transparent space" required: "CMYK".
Interestingly, if I copy and paste your images into a new doc 2 points scored.
I think that the solution is to assign the CMYK printer profile in the document. In this case, you no longer control upstream for RGB color, because by default it is converted to CMYK space correct on export or print output.

Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.
I see you've found an error "file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" when you click office and recent places.
- Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
- What is the full error message?
I suggest you to report to us the screenshot of the Advanced window so that we can understand what exactly the situation.

http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7itproui/thread/4fc10639-02dB-4665-993a-08d865088d65The average while you can try the following steps and check if the error reappears.
Method 1:
Step 1:
Start the computer in safe mode and check the number.
Some options, including the mode safe mode, start Windows in a limited State, where only the essential is started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as a possible cause.
Follow this link provided below to start your computer in safe mode.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
Step 2:
Put the computer to boot and check if the problem persists.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 of the KB article provided above.
Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.
It will be useful.

"this file does not have a program associated with it" message when you insert the sd card
When I insert an SD card into my computer, I get a message that says f:\ that this file does not have a program associated with it... I know I can set default programs with the types of files in the Control Panel, but how do you recognize what to do when I insert an SD card in the computer?
Windows 7
The problem is caused by the automatic game changing options, this can sometimes happen when you install a new program, but they can easily be changed back. Click 'start' at the bottom left, go into "default programs" on the right side of the list (under computer / doc/images etc.) select "Change AutoPlay settings.
You will find prob some of the sections had the new auto run program, just edit those you want (or all) "ask me every time", you will find that when you insert an sd card, you get the options normal download, copy, etc. as usual. -
