Why don't CC with Lightroom and Photoshop CC open my D7200 Nikon raw files?
I just subscribe to creative cloud (photography) because the listed site support raw Nikon D7200 for versions CC with Lightroom and Photoshop files.
But after their installation, they will not open the NEF files.
I downloaded and installed the latest version of Camera Raw, but I can not always open the raw files.
Frank
OK, I just discover another discussion that my problem was caused by Nikon Transfer.
I had been using the version of Nikon Transfer, I had with my previous camera, which apparently corrupts a D7200 Nikon raw files.
I have transferred my images (using Lightroom) and NEF files open fine in Lightroom and Photoshop.
Thank you

Original title: open Firefox and explore
When I leave early to Mozilla Firefox or Explorer, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file. When I do, I get a security warning asking if I really want to do. If I check "Run", I get redirected to the previous list, and I find myself in a circle without end. It does not matter what choice to make. Used to be that I went from starting Firefox directly. I can get in if I have Firefox right click and choose to run the file as an administrator and then give permission to open the program. How can I cut these two additional and direct access, that I used to enjoy. I run Vista. The same thing happens if I have to explore. Would be grateful for the help.

Can't open anything
Hi Karpaholix
I would like to ask you a few questions to help focus in the right direction:
Are there other specific details that you can provide that will help us understand and solve your problem? Since when you receive this error message? Have you made changes to your system?
We can try a few steps and try to solve this problem.
A default program is the program used by Windows when you open a particular type of file, such as a music file, an image, or a Web page. For example, if you have more than one web browser installed on your computer, you can choose one of them to be the default browser.
Open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.
In the default programs, you can:
· Set your default programs. This option allows to choose the programs that Windows uses by default. If you want to use your Media Player to open all media files, use this option.
· If a program does not appear in the list, you can make the default program using set Associations.
· Open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.
· Click associate a file type or Protocol with a program.
· Click on the file type or protocol that you want the program to act as the default.
· Click on the program of change.
· Click the program that you want to use by default for the selected file type, or click the arrow next to other programs to show other programs. (If your program is not listed, click Browse to find the program you want to use, and then click Open. If no other programs are installed that are able to open the type of file or Protocol, your choice will be limited.)
· Click OK.
You can also check out this link for more details to make a default program:
