Double-clicking on rpt file does not open report

When I double-click on a *.rpt file, Crystal Reports opens but does not bring up the report file. I have to then go to File/Open in order to open the file. I don't receive an error. Does anyone know how to get Crystal Reports to open the file at the same time as executing the crw32.exe?
I checked in Windows Explorer under Tools/Folder Options/File Types, selected RPT which is associated to Crystal Reports, went to the Advanced options, and all I have is Open for an Action. I have the following settings for Open:
Application Used to Perform Action: "C:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Crystal Reports 10\crw32.exe" "%1" /dde /e /n
DDE Message: [FileOpen("%1")]
Application: crw32

I had to go into the Advanced settings and delete the "Open" action, then click "OK" to exit. Then go back in and re-add the Open action, browse to your crw32.exe file as the application to open. Seems to correct the problem; not sure of the cause.

Double clicking Illustrator (.ai) file does not open a file with opened app.

Hello,
I have an Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2) running on Windows 7 Pro. Here are the symptoms: when double clicking the Illustrator file once the application is already open, the file will not open. You will see an hourglass for a few seconds, but no file contents are displayed. However, if I were to close Illustrator application and then double click on the file, Illustrator will open the file correctly. Additionally, if I go to File -- Open and manually select the file, it also opens the file correctly. Only double clicking the file once the Illustrator application is already open does not work.
Has anyone seen this issue and knows how-to fix it?

Right click on a .ai file and choose properties, check to see what application is set to open .ai files. Try running in 32 bit mode.

Double Click ...folder does not open, any suggestions please

Hello,
A new problem surfaced today on Macbook Pro (Leopard) after I allowed the system software updater to run. Of course this could be pure coincidence as I did not notice the problem until working for half a day.
When I double click on a folder on the desktop it does not open.
So I Ctrl-click the folder and select "open." No problem, the folder opens.
Now when I double click on a folder within this folder it opens just fine. So the problem is confined to the desktop.
I log out and back in and the problem goes away, but comes back after I have been working for a while.
I disabled Spaces but it did not help.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks.

I would say that this topic IS solved, unless the original poster was unable to use the solution (change the trackpad settings) successfully. I, for one, was able to, and boy am I grateful! This has happened across machines and operating systems for me, for years now, and finally I have a solution! Thank you for the helpful post(s) that helped me get my mac back on track!

Normal double clicking or apple O, does not open certain mp3's

I have a few mp3's that no matter what route I go, i.e. drag and drop, manual import through file menu, or double clicking on iTunes mp3's, does not seem to open certain mp3 files. It seems to be random as I can click ten and only one will not open in iTunes. They files don't however look any different or seem to have any major differences.
I can play the files that don't open however in preview, quicktime or logic, so why can I not import and play in iTunes? Any insight here?

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Double Click on Tabe area does not open new tab any moee, why?

I just updated (bad word because it is a serious DOWN grade) to 29.0. What a terrible mistake. If I wanted to use Chrome I would use Chrome. This version of FF is total shit.
1) How do I get rid of that horrid big orange FF button?
2) How do I re-enable double click on tab bar to open a new tab?
3) How do I fix the navigation buttons (forward is ½ hidden under back)?
4) How do I restore the colors (theme?) to my previous settings?
5) Why is FF trying to be chrome anyway?

To clarify, the list of previously or later visited pages does still show up when I right click on the navigation arrows in the Developer Version, but I cannot open any of the links in the list in a new tab with the mouse wheel or "Ctrl + Left Mouse Click".

CS5: double-click on file does not open the file

If Photoshop is closed, double-click on a file will always successfully launch Photoshop and open the picture.
If Photoshop is running, double-clicking on a file will activate Photoshop, but very often the file does not open. It works from time to time though, and that seems to be on a random basis.
Opening a file through the Open command will always work.
I am working with 10.6.3 on a loaded Mac Pro.
Did anybody experience this difficulty? Any help would be appreciated, before I take more drastic measures like reinstalling the software of worse than that. I've already done the usual maintenance operations.

Caustic waltz, while brief, may have hit the nail on the head. If you do not want to continue this thread, you can search the forum for existing posts about Snow Leopard and file-program association confusion. Snow Leopard changed some things and that might be your issue.
More simply, do your image files have extensions? (.PSD, .JPG, etc...)
Hello Marian:
While browsing through my Adobe account, I saw that you took the time to leave a comment two days ago. While it did not solve my problem, I will mark your comment as "helpful" for several reasons. It could have been a cause. And I will add politeness, courtesy and language precision. I'm an old guy and I quite value those elements.
True, Snow Leopard changed changed the way files are associated to applications. Thank God! Here in our small office, we do a lot of cross-platform transfers and finally it works seamlessly. A good description of the new file identification system can be found here.
Now, here are the reasons why Snow Leopard cannot be put at fault in my case:
• If Photoshop CS5 is not launched, double-clicking on any psd, tiff or jpeg file will launch it and open properly.
• If Photoshop CS5 is already running, double-clicking on any psd, tiff, or jpeg file will activate Photoshop CS5 but will not open.
This points at either a bug or damaged Photoshop CS5, or maybe a damaged OS. Don't forget that out of maybe a hundred apps, this is the first time I meet with that problem. Of course, the easier course, but by no means guaranteed to work, is to presume that Photoshop CS5 is damaged or that its installation did not work properly. So I did the following things:
• I deactivated Photoshop CS5 and uninstalled it.
• I ditched all remaining files related to CS5, CS4, CS3, CS2, CS... yes I know, but then you know as well as I do0 that getting really rid of Photoshop is a daunting task. It took me almost two hours, but I am reasonably sure that the cleaning job was complete.
• I reinstalled Photoshop CS5.
Now everything works just fine at least for the time being. Time will tell, of course, but I think that the problem is solved.

Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

Hi Stephen,
What version of MS Office are you using?
Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
• Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
• Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
• Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com POP port: 995
• Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

WebDynpro editor issue: Clicking on UI element does not open up defn in UI tree

Hello,
We are facing a strange issue with webdynpro editor on one of our SAP Landscape. In change mode when i double click on an UI element in webdynpro layout editor( SE80) the corresponding UI element definition does not open up in the left hand side ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER tree. This functionality works in our ERP system which is on a lower service pack.
I recently discussed this problem with an onsite trainer ( from SAP ) who suggested this feature was taken away in NW Ehp 7.3 onwards to avoid some javascript error in the webdypro layout editor. Can someone confirm this? I have already tried searching servicemarketplace without success. If this feature has been removed i dont want to waste time creating OSS note.
Regards.
Vivek.

Vivek,
We're experiencing the same behaviour since a couple of weeks. Did you already create a message to SAP ? If so I'll wait for you to post the feedback from SAP in answer to this message. If not I'll create one because it becomes hard finding your way in the navigation tree for large views...

Left click on a link does not open the link; a small blue window opens saying loading then closes.

Left click on any link in a web page does not open the link. A very small blue window appears with the word loading and a few moving dots. In a few seconds the blue window closes but the link does not open. Links used to open. If I right click the link, I can open the link in a new window. Many new windows pile up. This is a nuisance.
I am using Firefox 3.6.8 for Canonical 1.0 in Ubuntu 9.10.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
