• Opens the window "view and track your downloads" instead of the program

  Each program (with the .exe extension), I try to open goes directly to the window 'view and follow your downloads. Even Notepad is present it is impossible to apply the patch that I found online. It started after trying to download an update to PhotoShop CS so I can open RAW files.

  Hello

  The problem is specific to just the .exe files?

  I suggest you refer to the following methods.

  Method 1:

  Read the following article.

  When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

• How can Windows Picture and Fax Viewer - I specify the editing program?

  I set things up so that Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is the default program when I opened a variety of types of image files, which allowed me to get a quick overview without waiting for a program to load full image editing. What I need to be able to do is to specify which program is then launched by WP & FV when I click on the bottom right of the screen edit button - one with text that says "closes this program and opens the image in edit (Ctrl + E).

  If I click with the right mouse button and select 'Open with' and then I can select in the usual list of possible programs, but what I want is to set a default value for each file type so that a left click of the button automatically opens the appropriate program. I tried the "program to choose...". "and"Always use the selected program to open this type of file"route after a right-click on the button, but what is happening is that the selected program then becomes the global default and circumvents WP & FV altogether.

  Any ideas?

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

  OK... go to... Start / run and type... "' regedit ' without
  the quotes. Then click on... OK... or press... Come in.

  In the registry... Editor drill down to:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command

  In the data column, you should see:

  Replace the key with the path to the program that will be

  Here's what I changed to.

  "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Picture It! 7\pip.exe"'%1 '.

  Now, my images still open in the picture and Fax Viewer
  But if I left, click on the button Edit... Picture It! 7 opens.

  To replace the string...

  'Default' to select, left click.

  Reach... Edit / change...

  In the "Edit String" field...

  Copy / paste the path to your program choice:

  "C:\Program Files\? \???. "exe" '%1'

  Left click... Ok.

  Now, your images will always open in the picture and Fax

• Computer think InDesign CS6 is CC and won't let me open my program without subscription

  I have the CS6 adobe creative suite installed on my computer and use almost every day. A few months ago, I bought a subscription monthly to InDesign CC and used for a few months before disabling it. Then, I continued to use my InDesign CS6 without any problem. Today my InDesign CS6 froze on me after that I saved a PDF of my file, so I force quit the program. Now, whenever I try to restart InDesign CS6, Adobe Application Manager appears and tells me that I need to renew my subscription to Creative cloud be able to use it! Very frustrating. All my other programs CS6 open for myself, it's just the InDesign that I have problems with. I use a Mac. How can I stop this happens so that I can return to reuse as usual my InDesign CS6? Thank you!

  Hello

  I see that your Adobe Id is associated with an expired / suspended Design CC subscription.

  If you have CC desktop app installed please uninstall and uninstall Indesign CC as well. and then try to use Indesign cs6. It may ask you to click on license this software and ask for serial key that you can use to activate it.

• Windows 7 and xp file sharing: accessible files, others not

  I have a desktop Windows 7 (Ultimate x 64) which share several folders to other computers, mainly under XP (Home). This is pretty typical and I'm not having any problem setting this up, it was already setup and works well so far.

  However, I recently added a new sharing folder of the Windows 7 computer. What I find is that some of the files in the folder are accessible, and some are not. It is unusual because generally I see that the file is accessible, it is not, but never a few things inside. I would say half the files are accessible, and half are not.

  When you try to access some files, I get the message: "file not found". Yet, I see all these files when displaying the list in Explorer directories. This could be the cause?

  I tried to remove the share on the Windows 7 computer and recreate from scratch. By doing this, it fixes some of the files that were previously inaccessible, so they become accessible, but other files are inaccessible.

  Solving the problems of shared folders

  Open the Troubleshoot shared folders utility by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under network and Internet, click access shared files and folders on other computers.

  The above is an excerpt from the page below (at the bottom of the page):

• Windows 8 r made lose Me ALL my other programs and Microsoft Office!

  I downloaded Windows 8 on my Toshiba Satellite and previous iOS was Windows 7. The installation was slowing down my computer, so I made the cooling system. Bad idea! I chose to keep my settings and personal files, but it has removed ALL my programs and I can't put back them. My Microsoft Office has been removed and I can not re - install from the disc! I get an error 25033! Help! I need MS Office for my online courses! How can I put my dos programs? Removed apps are on my desk at the top of the page in a folder! I need it on my computer, where they were! HELP ME PLEASE! Things have changed around on my computer and I wish that I had NEVER installed Windows 8!

  Well, if you would stop being so high and mighty - many of us were new computers with the software already installed at the factory (word, Skype, etc.).   We have not installed it records and the only reason why some of us did a REFRESH was because we were told to.   I lost my Yahoo Mail app after doing a software update.  I was told that if I did a REFRESH I get the app and not lose anything except the apps that I have installed disks, etc..   ......  NO - oh yes, the yahoo mail app is back - but everything else disappeared.   No word, no Skype...

  It seems that you just did not understand what was going to happen and that things have been defined as (windows store apps, what desktop applications have been pre-installed by the OEM, etc.) but now you're more ignorant of these facts and installation of these components should be pretty mundane.
   
  Microsoft Word came pre-installed on your system Windows 8 (not Windows RT)?
   
  If so this simply means that OEM (manufacturer/assembler of the system) installed (on disk, etc.)-it is always ' installed anything else than the store Windows of.  Sure - * you * did not do - but neither did Microsoft - UPDATE would not understand it.  Ask the manufacturer how to get Microsoft Office back (if it was included, and was not just a test?)
   
  Skype is also a desktop application.  Simply your preinstalled OEM because it does not make something that was not installed via something other than the Windows store.  http://www.Skype.com/en/download-Skype/Skype-for-Windows8/

• PS and LR produce bad impressions, but other programs are not...

  It's a little long, because I did a bit of investigation, but I can't solve my problem and I need help:

  I had a nice workflow that I have used for years.  I'm sure that many of you would find a bit tedious and I will not go into the details of it, but the important part is that I always printed on Photoshop (Extended CS6 - now at 13.0.3 - Yes, I have the window trial stupid bug, but that's another matter).  My monitors are profiled (no printer profile custom, but I have downloaded profiles suitable PixelGenius for times where I need them, and with my management of colors, my impressions were quite specific.)  I use and Epson Stylus Photo R2880 and I was very happy with it.  I work mainly on an iMac 24 "(millésime 2009)."  Recently, I decided to change my work flow based entirely on some of the tutorial videos that I bought of LL.  I decided that I was ready to integrate much more LR in the workflow, especially now that he understands the proofing.  Due to the new workflow I was really looking forward to printing off LR.  Who should you get more or less current.

  So far, I haven't printed with my new workflow and I would say that I haven't printed anything since 13.0.1 on PS and LR 4.1 (not that I was printing from LR at the time).  Having not printed in a while, I knew that I needed a head cleaning (of course I did) and, as is my habit, once the head was clean, I printed (from LR) a 4 x 6 image I had planned on printing to a larger size.  It collects all persistent grime after a cleaning.  Printing doesn't look just right for me (too dark and the colors were a bit wide).  I met with wrong colors prints once before, and it turned to be a driver problem.  In the process, I found a large image that is indicative of a certain type of problem and I keep the good and bad prints of hand... just in case.  I decided to print this picture, and of course, it came out looking like the standard version craptastic I was getting into with the bad long time driver.  Just to check that it had to do with my new process, I printed the picture of the PS (which worked fine the last time I printed this image). Also, it came out all wrong (the same as LR all wrong).  Since the bad impressions looked like the old 'bad driver' impressions, I thought I knew what was going on and worked with Epson to reset my printing pipeline and reinstall my printers (I also have a workforce of 845 for printing "throw" and for my wife to use).

  With new installs for my printers in place I went ahead and printed again... and once again, it came to pass badly.  I was, to say the least, discouraged.  As a last test of consistency, I loaded the image up in Nikon Capture NX2 (version 2.3.1) and did a print using the same color profile.  All of a sudden feel perfect.  It is my 'good' old prints and, equally important, was a Dead Ringer for the image on the screen. At this point, I guess that for some reason any LR and PS not correctly color managed.  I thought they were ignoring my selection of color profile and let the printer manage printing from the native color space (ProPhoto RGB) or.  To test this, I set up printing in PS (same image), but took a very strange color profile (Nikon DBase for v3.0.0.3002 of the NAVE).  It's odd how radically a color profile that I could find (the colors are mapped to completely different areas).  I was hoping that printing would be unchanged, but unfortunately he is out with the weird mapping that provides this profile.  It is so drastic a change, I have a hard time assessing whether it is 'off', as the other impressions are.  What is apparent is that PS at least (I have not tried in LR), it's actually reproducing along the pipeline of printing color information.  This does not explain why LR and PS of 'bad' impressions but not Nikon Capture.  This is where I am.  Apparently the color management is broken in my Adobe products, but works very well in my Nikon software.  I'm a bit of a loss. I'm sure I'm printing off LR and especially PS, correctly to 99.999999999%.  Anyone have any ideas?  I'd like to be able to print again. Impression of Capture NX2 is really not a good option.

  Thanks in advance,

  David

  Just to close it entirely, I just got the phone with Epson and they confirmed that if you have PS or LR color management, EVERYTHING must disengage in the printer including the option of 16-bit driver.  You will always get 16-bit printing via the PS color management.  Apparently the option "Off (no correction color)" and the 16-bit box operate independently of the driver and if one is on there as a conflict with a managed utility printing color.  I just wanted that along.

  Thanks again for all the help,

  Dave

• Has anyone seen a fax USB modem that works with Windows Fax and Scan?

  So far I'm 0 for 2.  PC Fax modems seem to be a lost art.  A few months ago, I tried a USB fax modem and tested the receipt of the fax.  The modem answers the phone, the fax sender starts the transmission and... nothing happens.  Eventually, the sender times out with an error.   Same computer, same Windows Fax and Scan software, with an old modem connected to a serial port, all works well.  Modem manufacturer was not able to help.

  And now the same problem with another PC, the modem is different, different situation.  This time I don't have an easy fallback to a serial port.

  And that leads to my question - no matter that matter where in fact seen a fax-modem USB in the field send and receive faxes using Windows Fax and Scan on Windows 7, and if yes, what was the make and model?

  Thank you

  -Greg Scott

  Hello Greg,.

  Thanks for the quick response.

  You can view the reviews of the product in the manufacturer's Web site and see if that helps.

  Also for the Windows Fax and Scan, when your PC or computer would be equipped with a fax modem (or connected to a fax server), it can send and receive documents such as a standalone device. Windows Fax and Scan even includes a handy tool for the design of custom cover pages.

  Also refer to:

  It's so boring that I ensured that I learned from reboots after updates are at a standstill but it stops again and re starts random ideas anyone

  Hey @cavvie,

  Unfortunately you can not do this. It will take a clean install of Windows.  Automatic is grayed out and you can not change this, you need to reinstall the operating system. I suggest aclean installof Windows.

  You can use your recovery disks. But you will need to remove all and reinstall Windows.

• screen goes black and moves randomly please explain answer in detail as I use windows 10 and I can not understand the answers already given

  screen turns black and moves randomly when using most of the tools of photoshop.  I use windows 10 and cannot follow the above.

  Hi Nodstown,

  Greetings.

  • What version of PS do you use?
  • Mac or Windows, which version?
  • There may be several reasons for this.
    • Preferences corrupt.
    • Obsolete graphics drivers.
  • Solution
    • Try resetting the PS tools. (See screenshot)
    • Try resetting the PS preferences - to restore preferences quickly by using a keyboard shortcut: press and hold Alt + Ctrl + Shift (Windows) or Option + command + shift (Mac OS) when you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings.
  • • Update graphics card drivers
    • AMD - AMD Catalyst 15.10 Beta Driver for Windows
    • NVIDIA - drivers | GeForce
  • Also, try opening the PS, then go to preferences - performance and uncheck CPU chart use
  • Now, restart PS and then try to use tools again.
