When you try to open a zip file with Explorer the screen just flashes and stops only with a reboot of the system

This happens when I try to open the zip files downloaded, photos or music.

  • When I try to open a PDF file with adobe Acrobat reader Windows Media Center automatically appears.

    When I try to open a PDF file with adobe Acrobat reader, windows media center automatically opens. How to prevent this? I just want to open the PDF file with Acrobat reader.

    The solution I think. If you right-click on one of the files and select open the file locations it now combined the file with adobe reader.

    Yes - you simply need to change the associated file (and path) back to Adobe Reader.  (If that's your choice PDF reader.)

    If you did this:

    Press the Windows Logo and R key at the same time to bring up the dialog box RUN.
    Once you have the dialog box up, type in the following command and press OK...

    cmd /k ftype AcroExch.Document

    That he return with? Should be something like:

    AcroExch.Document = "C:\Program files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" '%1'

    Hi, I applied for a job in which they said send me an application form who sent in a zip format, so I clicked on the link to download in which came on the download area of Firefox so I tried to click and it did not open so then I tried it on Chrome and this message popped up.
    Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Steph\Downloads\APPLICATION F0RM.zip'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.
    Can someone help me to open this file?

    Hi StephanieCowley,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    In addition, how are you doing today?

    You have a problem with opening the Zip files on the computer. This can be very frustrating for you, and I appreciate the efforts you have put in. Let us work together as a team and try to get this fixed number.

    We start with a few questions-

    (1) is this problem limited to opening files on Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome?

    (2) you are able to open other files zip on the computer?

    (3) you have a program to open ZIP files installed on the computer?

    (4) you are able to open the same file on another computer (running the same version of the operating system)?

    (5) you get an error code?

    (6) do you have made further changes on the computer before the show?

    I would like more information about the issue.

    It is possible the file association by default to open this type of file is either corrupted or needs to be changed.

    Method 1-

    I would like that you try to open other files zip on the computer. Check if it helps.

    Method 2-

    I would have you scan a System File Checker to verify violations of integrity.

    See the article-

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 2-

    I would have you look at the article-

  • When you try to open some a desktop icon, get the error about the msimn.exe file

    When my wife ties open OE6 since its icon on the desktop, a box shows always ask him to "open with + list of files" with a Ref file msimn.exe that has arisen recently. How are we OE6 to work only on windows xp user profile and not on any of our files without resorting to the OE 6 RE-INSTALLING from scratch and lose all folders and contacts... etc.

    When pops up an error I suggest you manually navigate to the following location, and then select the file that is missing: C:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe

  • When you try to open a PDF file, Windows Media Center opens

    My aunt has Windows Vista on her computer and whenever she tries to open a pdf file that opens Windows Media Center. Is there a way to get Windows Vista to point to Acrobat Reader to open the file, or should it go directly to the RA? Thanks for any help you can give on this subject.

    PS; I don't know if it's 32-bit or 64-bit.
    * original title - PDF problem on windows Vista *.

    Acrobat Reader or Adobe Reader? Personally, I wouldn't use Adobe at all, but try this. Skip #1 if it is already on the HARD drive.

    Create a file association.

    1. download and save the attachment to the office.
    2. right click on the saved file.
    3. Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
    4. click on: choose [default] program.
    5. Select: PDF reader program.
    6. check: always use the selected program to open this type of file.
    7. click on OK.

  • I get security errors when you try to open a pdf file.

    I received a security error when trying to run my javascript program, the function has worked before, but now creates an error after I entered the addWaterMark function. I put my entire code below for my script.

    The basic function is to load a text file in a table which has the path location and file, open the document, add a watermark, save the file, close the file, and then repeat for the next position of table.

    I use Acrobat Standard so I'm unable to debug using the console, that's why I'm fighting for what I'm doing wrong. I want to clarify that I am not a fluent programmer, only to have a knowledge of database programming.

    Code

    () app.addSubMenu

    {

    cName: "Extras."

    cParent: 'change '.

    }

    )

    () app.addMenuItem

    {

    cName: "Import a file"

    cParent: "Extras."

    cExec:"main().

    }

    )

    main() function

    {

    fileCount = 0 var

    var listOfFiles =]

    listOfFiles = importData()

    amountOfFiles = listOfFiles.length

    for (var i = 0; I < listOfFiles.length; i ++) //calculates amount in the listOfFiles array entries

    {

    newFile = openFile (listOfFiles [i]) //Opens current file

    var d = app.activeDocs; Gets the name of the current document title

    addWater (d [0]);

    app.execMenuItem ('Save');

    for (var x d) d [x] .closeDoc ();

    }

    }

    function addWater (myName)

    {app.alert("watermark",0);

    () myName.addWatermarkFromText

    {

    cText: "OBSOLETE."

    cFont: "Arial,"

    nFontSize:36,

    aColor: color.red,.

    nOpacity: 0.5

    }

    );

    }

    SaveFile function saves the current file but with an addition of WM file name

    saveFile = app.trustedFunction (function (currentDoc, currentFileName)

    {app.alert("savefile",0);

    app.beginPriv ();

    currentDoc.saveAs (currentFileName);

    app.endPriv ();

    }

    );

    openFile function that opens the file named in the variable currentFilename

    openFile = app.trustedFunction (function (currentFileName)

    {app.alert ("openfile" + currentFileName, 0);}

    app.beginPriv ();

    app.openDoc (currentFileName);

    app.endPriv ();

    }

    );

    importData function matter the paths and the file names contained in the list.txt located on the desktop

    importData = app.trustedFunction (function)

    {app.alert ("import", 0);

    app.beginPriv ();

    cFilePath = ' / C/Users/103019944/Desktop/File_List.txt ';

    var stmData = util.readFileIntoStream (cFilePath);

    cData var = util.stringFromStream (stmData);

    CMSG var = cData;

    var fileArray = cMsg.split("\r\n");

    for (var i = 0; i < fileArray.length; i ++)

    Return (fileArray);

    app.endPriv ();

    }

    );

    It happens with a specific file? Are you sure that the file path is correct?
