Hp windows 7 64-bit documents won't open

I have gotten a new computer and my documents are all their but when I try to open them they won't open. How do I go about getting them open

Hi,
Most likely the files are not associated to the default programs. What type of files you are trying to open?..If they are microsoft word or MS excel then you'll need microsoft office installed in the computer.
To fix the problem for other files you can try few things..
i. First make sure all windows updates are up to date. If there are any updates pending then install them.
ii. Then open HP Support Assitant and check if there are any pending updates from HP.
Using HP Support Assistant
iii. If after running all the updates the problem still persists then can follow the steps from the link below or directly run the file listed there..
Set File Associations Through Default Programs
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

    Just updated itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Pages question: recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents intermittently
    won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. On the other Mac (running Lion), saved a copy of a document with a new name and sent it back to first computer. At first it would open, but now it as well as multiple other Pages documents won't open. What now?

    yes;
    I got Pages to work now- there were two versions, one Universal, and one Intel- by moving the Universal to trash ( although I can't delete it) and moving Intel version to iWorks folder in Applications, it is now working. Doesn't explain why it didn't work though- the other MacBook pro 17 inch that could open all the Pages documents also has two copies of Pages as I see now....
    I still however can't open Numbers documents on the MacBook pro 15 inch.... it is a Universal version of Numbers.

  • HT4942 pages document won't open on ipad or icloud

    I have created a document in pages on my ipad. 
    All of a sudden after switching to another document and then trying to switch back, on my ipad which wasn't connected to the internet at the time, I could no longer open my document in Pages.
    I message popped up saying document won't open.  I tried making a copy of it and the copy had the same error message when I tried to open it. I tried emailling and exporting it in the ipad Pages app but it froze up when trying to do it and didn't work.
    I logged onto icloud and I see the document there but it won't open. I get a message that says "Document Can't be downloaded, please try again"
    Is there any way to recover this document?  It is so frustrating because I can see what I wrote is still there in the thumbnail - but I just can't get the actual document.

    It isn't complicated if you don't use it. Like Apple.

  • Installing Windows 7 64-bit - DVD won't boot

    I recently downloaded the 64-bit version of Windows 7 from my school's MSDNAA page and burnt the ISO to a DVD. I had XP on a dual-boot setup to actually get the download, so I deleted the partition and decided to start fresh for Windows 7. When I went through the boot camp assistant it wouldn't boot from the DVD. If I use a program like rEFIt I can see the 'bootmgr.efi' as a volume to boot from, but when selected it gives me the error "Unsupported while loading bootmgr.efi". Has anyone else come across anything like this? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hey,
    I had problems when trying to install Windows 7 64-bit from a disk burned from an iso.
    If you still have the iso file follow the instructions on this page - http://www.gopulls.com/blog/2009.08.26/install-windows-7-x64-on-a-mac-beat-the-s elect-cd-rom-boot-type-error/
    or this page - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2372797&tstart=45
    Apparently the issue is something to do with the fact that the install disk has two boot sectors instead of one...this thread explains it better - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1867336
    Hopefully it will work for you as it did for me!

  • Windows 7 64-bit update won't run after hard drive replacement HP G62-144DX

    Replaced hard drive, ran recovery discs, everything OK except that windows 7 64-bit would not update. Services showed windows update to be running, but update gave error message: service not started. Reinstalled old hard drive which before all tests had showed drive to be defective and tried again, this time all ran Ok and windows update ran. This time all tests showed the orginal hard drive to be OK.

    Hello jzerener,
    Is there a question in here somewhere?  I'm happy everything is working again, but I certainly can't explain why you encountered these results as you updated.
    Thank you for sharing.

  • After Effects Windows 64 bit file won't open on Mac!

    I have CC on a Windows 7 (64 bit) system and on a MAC OSX Snow Leopard, 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Version 10.6.8 and when attempting to open a Windows created After Effects file on the MAC got the "Can't open 64 bit version 12.2 file on this Mac" message. What to I have to do to make them compatible? I wasn't told this when I signed up!

    Your answer is either to upgrade your Mac's OS or to save the CC file as a CS6 file. (Which is possible according to this list.)

  • QuickTime Player Document won't open

    I tried opening it a few times and checked permissions, (I think they're set right) and QuickTime won't open my QuickTime Player Documents. The end part is .ml20.
    Any advice?

    "checked permissions, (I think they're set right) "
    Do you actually mean you checked your QT MIME settings? Asking because you really don't check permissions to set anything.
    Repairing permissions involes the following:
    Save and/or quit your applications & doucuments
    Go to Applications>Utilities Folder
    Click Disk Utility
    Click the Volumn (HD) that you want to check.
    Click the Repair Disk Permissions button. (Don't worry about verifying)
    At the bottom of window when the repairs have finished, you will see the “most important thing”:
    Permission Repairs Complete
    The previliges have been repaired or completed on the selected volumn.
    Restart your computer.

  • Saved files as .PSD now they are "Windows Shell Common Dll" and won't open?

    I am having a problem with opening some files in Photoshop. I am using Photoshop CS5.1 Extended (Version 12.1) and have Windows 7 64 bit SP1 OS.
    I am trying to open a few templates I made in PhotoShop for a client and they worked fine when I used them 3 weeks ago. All were saved as .psd documents. Now when I go to open them they no longer have the PS icon (to show they would be opened by PhotoShop). When I try to open them I get "Could not complete your request because it is not the right type of document." I have had this problem once before but it is confusing to me because 2 of the other similar .psd files I saved at the same timeframe(separate elements for the temlate) are perfectly fine, only the ones I need do not want to open.
    I checked file properties and it claims these files are now Windows Shell Common Dll files. Any ideas?

    I guess you were able to open them in photoshop with open as.
    In the future you should probably try to avoid using periods in the image file names other than for the file type extension.
    You could use - or_ in place of the periods as in VotePedia Invoice 1_5_13  or VotePedia Invoice 1-5-13
    Also, as Noel suggested, going into Control Panel>Appearace and Personalization>Folder Options>View
    and unchecking Hide extensions for known file types will help as well.

  • Mavericks Pages 5 documents won't open

    I upgraded to Mavericks a few days ago. I have documents that were created in Pages ’09 that will no longer open. (Some will, and I don’t know what the difference is) When I try to open one, it either opens, no problem, or I get the message “The required index.xml file is missing”. This message is in a rectangle with an icon representative of Pages ’09 (the inkwell). Since it has this icon, I’m assuming that I was trying to open it in the ’09 version, which is what I intended to do. Since this didn’t work, I tried to “open with Pages.app (4.0.5)” and got the same message. I’m a little afraid to try to open it in Pages 5, since I’ve heard rumors that this could ruin the document. I’m at a loss, and, like everybody else, I have important documents that I need access to. After I upgraded I had both Pages ’09 and Pages 5 on my dock, instead of one of them being in the applications folder. I have looked briefly at pages 5 and determined that I prefer ’09. They are both still in my dock but I never open Pages 5. I’m using an iMac with 10.9.4. All my documents are in Pages ’09 and I want to open them in Pages ’09. What to do?

    Having two versions of Pages on your Mac is a royal pain. The correct version of Pages '09 for Mavericks is v4.3. Apple has a downloadable update here. I am current with both, including Pages v5.2.2. Your opening errors may be due to that Pages v4.0.5 running on Mavericks and needing a newer v4.3. Run Disk Utility from /Applications/Utilities after updating Pages ’09 per above, and verify/repair your permissions.
    I have dragged and dropped Pages '09 from /Applications/iWork '09, and Pages v5.2.2 from /Applications onto my Dock, so the icons are adjacent. You should drag and drop each of your Pages Dock icons out on to your Desktop about two inches and release them to remove them from the Dock. Don't worry, these are aliases to the real applications. Now drag/drop each of the Pages applications back onto the Dock as I have done. You will now know exactly where these icons point back to the individual application locations.
    In System Preferences > Security & Privacy (click the gold lock), under Allow apps downloaded from: mine is set to Mac App Store and identified developers. I am wondering if you have FileVault enabled for your boot drive? I have never seen your dialog as posted, so try my settings.
    With both applications installed on your Mac, you can only open Pages ’09 documents as follows, and double-click will always open them in Pages v5+.
    Launch Pages ’09, and open the document via the application File chooser
    Right-click on the ’09 document, and from the Open With sub-menu, select Pages (v4.n)
    Drag and drop the ’09 document onto the Pages ’09 Dock icon.
    Pages v5.2+ will open a Pages ’09 document without asking if you want too. As Pages v5.2+ is about 110 features/functionality less than Pages ’09 v4.3, it will also silently filter content from your ’09 documents as it opens them. This has been a catastrophe for those without backups.
    For forward organizational purposes, I would recommend that you create a custom tag name and color in Finder Preferences for explicit identification of your Pages ’09 documents. You can change this color and tag name in the open document title when you roll over the file name. Then you have both a visual clue to avoid opening these in Pages v5+, and the tag name allows you to use an Finder Window, or Spotlight search on that name to exclusive find Pages ’09 documents. Here is an example of a Finder tag: Pages search:

  • Scanned documents won't open in pages.

    I have an HP Photosmart D110. I have tried scanning and saving to documents with tiff, jpeg and pdf but when I open pages the documents are greyed out and won't open. I am using Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I am new to Macs and am not tecnical, please help.

    The HP scanners usually save to certain default folders which may not have read/write privileges.
    Look in the scanner panel and you will see that you can choose to save to another location. Choose your documents folder or desktop.
    But I think you are actually trying to open the scans from the Open dialog. Open is for Pages or other WP documents, not for images.
    You import the scans by either dragging them into Pages or by going Menu > Insert > Choose…
