• Vista cannot open epub files

  Hello!  Windows Vista cannot open epub files: can you help me? I have connected my Nook to my laptop to download a software update and am unable.  Thank you!

  For reading the books to Nook, simply install the Nook for PC player on your computer, and it can synchronize all your Nook books purchased on your computer.

  Download here: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/nook-for-pc/379003591/

• 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.

• Cannot open some files and programs

  I have windows 7, some of my files and programs will be open (ie. Recycle Bin, computer, libraries). They are sent to the windows Explorer file in the task bar. I can see what is in the file when I put the cursor over them, but cannot open them. I can close the files once in windows Explorer and when I reduce they seem to come on the screen.  It was not always thus and I don't know how to fix this or why it's happening.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It may be an idea to run the Windows system restore.  If you have Norton Internet Security installed, you should disable Norton Tamper Protection as described in step 2, on the link below.

  http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web & docURL = 20091112171719EN & LN = en_US

  Once you are done, turn off the PC.  Windows system restore is usaully better run in Mode without failure.  Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  When it has loaded, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Choose a restore point at least 3 days prior (or a previous version if available) the problem and then proceed to the restoration.  When you are finished, Windows will restart normally.

  Kind regards

• 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 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.

• Windows 10 - cannot open pdf files in MS Reader

  Hello, I have recently updated my phone company to 10 Windows in Windows 7. I have been using Acrobat Reader XI without problems. Since I was walking, opening PDF files always ends without response. After you open the PDF, he held only icon for a few seconds and then nothing (not even a blink of a new window / frame). I already tried several methods:

  • Uninstalling XI player associated with the application of advanced uninstaller. Put it back, with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
  • Complete uninstall of the CD with AdobeAcroCleaner_DC2015 player. Then reinstall > unsuccessful
  • I also tried the CD Player update to the latest version, and then using to repair mechanism (help > repair installation) > same result

  When I open the CD (shortcut or *.exe) directly, it runs normally and it allows me to open probably almost any PDF file as in the past. But if I trie to open any PDF file, it doesn't do anything. After consulting the table of processes through the Task Manager, I discovered that there are two processes that are running in the background "Adobe Acrobat Reader (32-bit) DC". It is + 2 after trying to open another PDF file / CD player.

  I also had this same problem on different machines. This is quite annoying, because I don't want to use the native Windows player...

  My current status:

• I downloaded the demo for the English version of Windows, but cannot open the file Captivate_8_LS21.7z I have 32-bit. It will work or should I re-download?

  I downloaded Windows English version 1.45 GB trials.

  It downloaded, but I can't open the file Captivate_8_LS21.7z.

  I have 32-bit. Will this work?

  Hello

  In order to download / install Captivate 8 32-bit, you must download the 2 files (.7z and .exe) at the same place / folder.

  Once both completely downloaded files then you will need to run the .exe file and it will extract the .7z first and then to initialize the installation program. You don't have to open the .7z file.

  Let me give you the download links to Captivate 8 32 bit: -.

  Say the mention of the link below in any Internet Explorer open Web browser

  https://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/TDRC/index.cfm?product=Captivate

  Sign in using your Adobe id and your password, then you will be redirected to download the Captivate 8 Web Page.

  Do not click download. Kindly leave this window open as it is.

  Now copy and paste the reference to the link below in the new window of the same Web browser in which you opened the link above.

  http://trials3.Adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/8/Win32/Captivate_8_LS21.7z

  Then Save the file.

  Do the same for the mention of the link below and save the file .exe so.

  http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/8/Win32/Captivate_8_LS21.exe

  Make sure the two files (.7z and .exe) save/download in the same folder/location.

  NOTE: Wait for the two files at the end of download and then run the .exe file.

  Once you run the .exe, it will begin to extract the .7z file and provide Captivate 8 folder on your desktop that contains setup.exe. Run the setup.exe to install 8 Captivate.

  Kind regards

• Windows Vista is running extremely slow and will not open the Task Manager or connect to the internet

  I have an older Dell running Windows Vista, and it started fine when I got it, but about a month ago it started very slow and refusing to open any program. I can't get the Task Manager to open to all and internet Explorer refuses to connect. I did a complete analysis of the system through Viper and it came out saying: there is nothing more than a few trogans. He also started a taskbar at the top of the screen. No idea how it happened either.
