"windows cannot open the file must know what program - program list selection" when tried to open the file

After a problem with my sony ebook reader, I was told by the library to remove the program Sony and library of books on the computer and the drive, and then reinstall the program.  I would then be able to download the books again.  But now I have a message saying that windows cannot open the file must know what program - select the program from the list. When I click on the program sony player list is not there.  What I am doing wrong?  You can give me some advice.

Hello

1. have you downloaded the right file to library?

2. What is the file format of the file that you downloaded?

3. What are the recommendations of programs that provided by Windows?

4. have you installed the player from the computer program?

5 is this problem confined to a particular file that downloaded?

 
The file that you downloaded requires an appropriate program to open it in Windows. That's why I suggest to check again if you have installed the reader program and also check if you have downloaded the appropriate Center books.
 
Reference:

 
 
If you have installed the right program and download the correct file in the program. I suggest you to change the player to default programs in Windows.

I hope this helps.

  • Windows cannot open an epub file

    After I downloaded an .epub file, "we must know what program to use to open" Windows. I clicked on search the Web and Windows cannot find one.  Since I want to download to my player from my PC, I want to open and to save it to EPUB on my PC (which is the format supported by the reader).  How do I do that? There is a link to "fixed" to download, but they are sites that are unfamiliar to me.  They say that Windows supports the file, but the URL does not support this claim. I don't know if they are safe. Microsoft doesn't have an installer for my computer to do this?  Thank you!

    Why Microsoft would be a tool to allow you to read some third-party format they had nothing to do with the files? Heh

  • Cannot open file because Windows needs to know what program created the file

    After downloading some files when I try to open the file, I get the message cannot open the file, windows needs to know what program created the file.

    Any suggestions?

    Perhaps no program has been assigned to this file format and so you cannot open these files.
    I put t know which files you downloaded, but you can choose an application installed that can open these files.

    Right click the file and I have to then choose open with.
    Then, you could choose the program you want to use.

    Hi JRCLNSIN100,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         What is the disk you use to reinstall?

    ·         Is this a recovery or reinstalling the disc you are using?

    ·         When exactly do you get this error message?

    ·         What is the edition of Windows Vista, you try to install?

    ·         How old is the drive that you are using?

    ·         How are you starting the installation process?

    After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

    First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

    To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

    To perform a flat installation of Windows Vista, follow these steps.

    Note The hard disk must have at least 3 GB of free space on the disk for the Windows Vista installation files. The hard disk must have at least 15 GB of additional disk space to install Windows Vista. For more information about system requirements for Windows Vista, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/editions/SystemRequirements.mspx

    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.
    2. Start Windows Explorer.
    3. In Windows Explorer, click to select the drive for the Windows Vista installation disc.
    4. On the Edit menu, click select all.
    5. On the Edit menu, click copy.
    6. Click to select the hard disk you want to contain the flat installation files.
    7. On the file menu, point to new, click the folder, type Windows Vista Setupand then press ENTER.
    8. Double-click the Windows Vista Setup program, and then click Paste on the Edit menu.
    9. Double-click Setup.exe, and then follow the instructions that appear.

    See the link below for more information on flat installation.

  • Receives the following message after opening a downloaded game: 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hello!
    So I'm at the end of my rope with this one... it lasts for months, and I keep revisitng every two weeks to try and fix that and every time to be completely frustrated.  I found this forum tonight, so here goes...

    We downloaded a few games on the HP Games Web site.  We download them and everything works fine.  Then, we will open the games and this pop up error message:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    These games used to run fine, and I have no idea why they now have problems.  We have a Vista operating system, 1 account who is the administrator, the Parental control is disabled (or if we believe).

    If anyone can please help it would be much appreciated!  We have a monthly membership to this site of game and continue to accumulate credits, but may not use it.  It makes us crazy!

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello Heathie,

    Thank you for posting.  It seems that the program is no longer on your computer.  This can happen if the game files are deleted, but the game itself has not been uninstalled correctly.  I recommend you to download the game again to a location on your computer where you can easily find and install it.  This should fix the problem.

    Please let me know if this helps you.

  • I get a message saying "Windows cannot open the file...". »

    I had a lot of problems with infections, so I was running many scanning programs.

    After getting my computer almost completely cleaned, I ran the Super Anti-Spyware program.  We find 3 infections, which I'd delete (I don't have no way of knowing that I removed).

    Since then, whenever I try to open a program, or even Windows Update, etc., I get a message saying:

    "Windows cannot open the file.  To open this file, Windows needs to know what kind of program has created.  Windows can go online to search automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs.

    When I go on the web, I get a lot of options, which are almost free scans that then charge for fixing.  I am also very scared that I can also get another infection from these sites.

    I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    StanEp

    Yes, each method is a set of measures to try and then go ahead and try each one separate.

    2 method will reset the executable (.exe) extension that will allow you to open programs. It is not clear what exactly you are trying to open so that it can have no effect.

    Keep in mind that the damage caused by malware can be irreversible, in the case of relocations are necessary.

  • Get the Error Message When you try to reinstall Vista: Windows cannot open the required file: E:\Sources\install.wim

    I'm trying to reinstall windows vista for the following reasons:

    1. I have SQL Server 2008 installed on my computer.  I deleted some files a long time ago and it screwed something and I couldn't reinstall.
    2. I had partitioned my hard drive for vista half and half SuSE and I deleted who and when I did, I think I deleted another partition - my recovery partition (E:\?).
    3. I need to clean my laptop.

    When I try to start the installation of a disk and I put in my product key, I get the following error:

    Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\install.wim.  The file does not exist.  Make suure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.  Error code: 0 x 80070002.

    Let me know if you have any ideas how I can fix it.  My next step was to recreate this E directory and download the install.wim file and re start the installation.  I could not find the file install.wim well.

    Hi Rob,

    I checked the link you provided.  What you downloaded was just the Vista recovery environment.  You cannot actually re - install Vista with that and if you blew your recovery partition unfortunately you may be out of luck.  You blew your partition containing Vista runs so the SFC will be of no help either.  I wish I had better news for you, but I don't see any way o get on without a Vista DVD.  I have good news for you if.  When you get your HP drive if you have problems with the installation, we will be able to help you with that.

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. Form when you try to open pictures? Is it in Photo Viewer?
    2. What type of files you are trying to open?
    3. You are able to open the photos in the Photos App?
    4. What is the brand and model of the computer?
    5. You did changes to the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Method 1: Run the utility to search and index and check.

    a. press the Windows key + X and click on Control Panel.

    b. click on Troubleshooting.

    c. Select display all on the upper left corner.

    d. perform research and solving problems of indexing.

    Method 2: Restart the Windows Search service and check.

    (a) press Windows + R key and type "services.msc" and press ENTER.

    (b) locate the Windows Search service and right-click on it.

    (c) click Properties and check that the start option has been activated.

    Method 3: If the problem persists, I suggest you to run a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner (MSS) to ensure that the computer is virus-free.

    The Microsoft Safety Scanner free is a downloadable security tool that allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software. 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.

     

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    After clicking on link get "Windows cannot open this file" have to manually "selecta program programs installed" Firefox appears as a choice and I double-click. How can I solve this problem / eliminate these extra steps
    ? Thank you Joe
    I am running Windows XP, MS office Outlook 2007

    Is it a link in an e-mail message in Outlook? This problem arises from time to time.

    While Firefox can usually set himself as the proper application to open the URL, you click in other programs, settings are sometimes blur or do not take. This article has tips to solve this problem: setting Firefox as the default browser does not work - what to do. Anything there help?

    If the problem persists, is there something special about how you start Firefox? For example, you have this launch in a security 'sandbox' or virtual machine? You have all the command-line options set to allow several simultaneous sessions of Firefox, or call the Profile Manager? If none of this sounds familiar to you, the answer is probably not.
