I'm getting the message: C:\Users\Jane\AppData\Local\Temp\topics_politics_intermediate-11.mp3 could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.

At first I thought it was a broken file, but then realised it was all MP3s.
The same MP3 downloads fine in Internet Explorer.
Thanks.

Do you have any setting for MP3 in Tools > Options > Applications ?
You usually need the QuickTime plugin to play MP3 files on Windows because that is the only plugin that supports that file extension if there is no MIME type specified to play the file with another plugin like Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.

first, you just asked me to use MS file Explorer to see what the properties were.,..and to ask what happened. Yes - that's on my hard drive. The problem I have is opening word files in a DB that is web enabled.....I've used Firefox browser for that, and everything else , for years...... When I look at the Tools, and options on FireFox., as your support page noted.....NOTHING is listed in the Applications tab....hence my note asking for help. The file I need to open is a Word file out on a web enabled DB. It's not on my hard drive - I have to problems opening docs there - but for that, I don't use Firefox

Failure message C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS2FA3\setup\SolutionCenter\

system win 7 pro 64. Wireless Network printer Photosmart C7250
HP Solutions software failed to work. I tried to reinstall software from HP web site. Everytime I try to rerun it I get the error cannot find C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS2FA3\setup\SolutionCenter\ and says failure to complete install.
HELP.

Hi,
Click the Start menu and typ %temp% into the search box, open the listed Temp folder and locate the HP installation which starts with the 7z characters.
pen the Setup Folder, then the Solution Center Folder and copy that path.
Once the error appear, click on Browse and past the copied path for that folder, confirm any prompt and check for any difference.
If the same error persists, rename the temp folder you have the files to 7zS2FA3 and click Retry on the error screen, then check if that may go any further.

I cannot download word documents. Error message says assocated helper application does not exist.

Tried downloading word document from email. error message Associated helper application does not exist

To open a document you must have installed an Android application for it. The file is downloaded but can be opened with Firefox, but with the specific app from Android.
Try installing a documents app and for sure it will work.

When firefox trys to auto update, or I manually download the new version, or some but not all downloads off of the web, I get this error message. C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

First off, when firefox trys to auto update, it fails. It tells me to try and download the new version from mozilla's site. When I try to download the new version I get this: (C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.)
This is the same message I have been getting when I try to download other things off the net. (When I use other browsers to download I dont have this problem)

Please help.

I am currently at iTunes version 10.5.1.42. It is telling me there is an update. It downloads and trys to install version 10.5.2 but i keep getting this error message:

Cannot install C8180 all-in-one printer missing installer.exe in c:\users\name\AppData\Local\Temp

I was attempting to reinstall my printer but got an error message:
Cannot find "Installer.exe" in C:\users\name\AppData\Local\Temp specific file called "FP_AX_MSI_INSTALLER.EXE"

Hello @doug1234 ,
I read your post about the virus you had, and now are having an issue with re-installing your Photosmart C8180. I will try to help you!
Please go back into your temp folder, delete all of the files it will allow you to, close out of the temp folder and download and reinstall the printer again with your firewall and/or anti-virus temporarily disabled. Let me know what happens, including any specific error messages and codes.
When you respond, please include which Operating System you're running and I will look into this further for you, to see what else we can try.
What's my Operating System?
