  • 10 Windows Update has failed, restored for Windows 7 - cannot open existing files

    Oh boy, am I ever stressed.

    My update of Windows 10 failed today (error: failure of page in nonpaged area).  I will have that later - my immediate problem is that when the update failed and stopped, it is automatically reduced to Windows 7 and all of a sudden I can't get all my Word or Excel files.

    More specifically: I can't open my files in Word or Excel, except those saved on the desktop.  Desktop files open fine, but whatever it is saved in a folder or other location does not open.   Other types of file open: photos, Photoshop, PDF, apparently everything opens without a problem.  For Microsoft Office files, I get the following messages:

    For Excel:

    Excel cannot access "File Name.xls". the document may be read-only or encrypted.

    and

    "File Name.xls" are not accessible. The file may be corrupted, located on a server that is not responding or read-only.

    For Word:

    Cannot open the document: user does not have access privileges

    Possible Note:

    1. I registered normally (as an administrator).

    2. when I right click on the file and look at the properties, everything seems normal (read-only is not checked, and the location of the file looks correct.

    3. I tried to pass a doc to a folder on my desktop.  It says that I have to give permission to the administrator.  I am able to click on the button 'continue' admin, the file is moved to the desktop, but still does not open.

    Any advice would be welcome!  I'm not a computer expert, and I desperately need to access my documents.

    So I clicked 'Add', typed the username- desktop\user name in the subject box, and then clicked on "Check names", then press the OK"" button.

    And now, the file opens.

    I'm sure there's a better difficulty out there, I don't know what it is.  Whatever it is, I can access my files now.

    You have made the right choice. It is essential that the specific user or group 'everyone' has full access to the file or folder. The alternative would be to use the console commands. They require a good knowledge of administrative tools.

    Be sure to mark my suggestion as "Response" to this topic.

  • Windows 7 cannot open com1

    I have 6 computers Toshiba Tecra all bought to use the com port to communicate with data loggers. as provided by Toshiba, they work very well, as soon as they update of windows I get the message cannot open com 1, I have a scanner and nothing else is using the port. If I uninstall the driver of RTP com and reboot it all works, but it is temporary when you restart is not open, I guess it's a windows update issue 7 and follow the procedure to install updates one at a time, but still without success. Windows 7 pro 32 bit as computers alll provided behave the same way. any suggestions?
    I tried many programs of comms and the fertile, one for the data recorders that give the same result in train to test with hyper terminal.
    All updates of drivers and bios are up-to-date Toshiba cannot but feel it should be a problem to update.

    Thanks Dave K

  • Windows 7 cannot open zip files

    I'm almost certain that, in the past, my Dell Inspiron 580 with Windows 7 could open zip files.

    Last month I had to replace my internal hard drive and reinstall Windows from the disks that I bought from Dell.  Now when I try to open a zip file I downloaded, I have an alert that says that Windows Explorer is unable to open it.

    I see a lot of different programs, you can buy or download free, claiming to allow you to decompress the files.  Isn't Windows supposed to be able to open zip se files?

    Is there any downloadable for free, zip file openers that work with Windows 7 64 bit?

    Hello Jumprun,

    Compress or decompress files isn't windows features. Software of third party such as WinZip, WinRAR, 7Zip are used to compress and decompress files. You can download them by clicking the program you want to download.
    WinZip
    WinRAR
    7zip I hope this helps!

  • Windows Mail cannot open attachments

    I am running vista Home premium SP2 and using Windows mail. Two days ago I can't display all the attachments of my emails. If I double click to open them - there is no answer. If I try to save, I get "cannot run command '. I can see if I send to another address and you use a webmail on the same computer account. I checked the internet options to ensure that the ability to upload files is correct. I changed the start in: option empty, then '%UserProfile% Local SettingsTemp '.

    Just in case someone else has had this problem. I solved it by doing a system restore

    and return to a point where my computer was still running.

  • Windows Vista cannot open programs and icons disappeared

    I have a Fujitsu with Windows Vista Tablet.  Last year, it was fine. Recently, I downloaded this program called Stardock, to change my login screen. It is sometimes unresponsive so I restarted the program and the problem would be solved.

    A few days after I downloaded some themes from their Web site and load them into the program itself, and he did not. After that, when I tried to reopen, he said something. I restarted, and now the login screen is black, my icons on the desktop are missing (cannot see passwords files and not the images). In addition, you know when you open certain programs, the screen darkens and a small box will appear to ask permission, yes it does not. Now, can't open some programs such as Ccleaner. All I get is "file system error: 65535" I also can't open my control panel.

    The only things I've done so far are by restarting my computer like 3 times already and the removal of the program from stardock. [I still have the themes downloaded from my well com]

    I doubt that it is a virus, but any help would be appreciated since this is a tablet that I use for school purposes.
