Elevlyn,
Thank you for fully explaining the situation. Now I can suggest you try this .ged reader.
1) Make a backup of your ged file.
2) Download the reader, and run a virus scan on the program before you run the the installer.
3) Test the reader
4) Please report back the progress. What the reader OK?

    Created help file either won't open or opens blank when emailed or copied for another user to see it.
    Our HR person made a help file she wants to email to someone or copy to a network share.
    -If she emails it the other person cannot open it.
    -If she copies it even from her desktop where she saved it to the folder with all the other files, it opens blank.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I think they must be swapping out .html for .chm in DW or something. What the OP describes sure sounds like what happens when you do that.
    @dfiore27101
    DW doesn't support .chm file types. Adding the extension doesn't compress the images into the file to create a true .chm.
    Adding .chm will make a perfectly good .html file stop displaying in DW though.
    An easier way to send someone .html help files would be to archive their folder as a .zip then email the .zip. The recipient would then need to extract the archive to view the files in their browser.
    I don't know of any way to create real .chm files in DW.

  • The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message

    Hello,
    Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • Pdf files download with .file extension thus wont open as a pdf

    Hi , when I try to download a pdf document with Firefox, the file downloads but add a .file extension thus wont open as a pdf.
    I do not know if this is relevant but if you try to get the file to open with adobe viewer by telling the pc to open this type of file always with adobe viewer, nothing happens the tick box is greyed out, however if I double click the adobe viewer icon it will quite happily open the downloaded file as a pdf

    The next time you download, STOP, and double check the full name of the file.
    Firefox would not change the file name. But an add-on could.

  • Archive saved from Safari, file full, won't open in Safari

    I had a page open, and saved it as an archive from Safari 3.2.1 on a dual G4.
    There's data in the archive file, looks fine, but it won't open in Safari - a new tab appears, but the page never fills with any data...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    5.1 is buggy, and the Apple Support Software also has to be uninstalled - and downgraded.
    Better off with 5.0.x for now.
    There are a dozen threads+ about 5.1s issues.
    You can also expect some extensions and plug-ins could also be trouble.
    And manually clean out every sub folder in AppData with Safari (prefs, history, web, etc) when moving to a new version. Same with Firefox 5/6/etc
    I'd make sure to use CCleaner 3.09 and make sure that cleans Safari.

  • Invalid Library File - ITunes won't open - AT ALL!!!

    hi, need some help! ITunes won't open, at all. Have followed Apple's advice to recreate library (by locating library.xml and moving it to the desktop, while trashing the ITunes library.itl file)ITunes still doesn't open. Connecting Ipod to laptop does nothing either! Any advice would be great!

    Hey try this out:
    Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall OFF, (turn it OFF Permanently until your ready to turn it back on) then click CONFIGURE.
    Under the PROGRAMS tab remove any reference to Apple iTunes or iTunes or iTunes Helper Module or anything related. and reboot.
    After coming back go back to Norton 2005's Personal Firewall, click CONFIGURE. Under the PROGRAMS tab click ADD at the bottom, a SELECT A PROGRAM
    window will pop up. Add the following files one at a time, iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, QuickTimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe, QTInfo.exe. The last 3 are found
    in your Quicktime folder where that is in your system. Click OK. Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall ON, and try starting iTunes again.
    This worked for me. It seems the Quicktime files were never automatically entered into my Norton 2005's Personal Firewall allowable programs listing. Adding them
    manually should help. I also noticed that from my previous version of iTunes the program listed in the Firewall was named Apple iTunes and not iTunes after I upgraded to 6.
    Let me know if this works out.

  • Bug : Invalid file extension error when opening exported excel

    Hi All,
    In one of my jsff page, i have implemented 'exportToExcel' functionality through a exportcollectionactionlistener on a table to export its data to excel. When i try opening the generated excel, i get the following warning in excel 2007 :
    "The file you are trying to open, 'Export.xls,' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" - When I clicked YES to the message, the exported excel opened and data is present.
    How can i get rid of this warning message, because it is annoying for any user to click YES every time the excel is opened ? I am using jdev version 11.1.1.6.0 This is my code :
    <af:commandToolbarButton text="Export to Excel" id="cb1">
    <af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="t1"
                               type="excelHTML"
                               filename="Export.xls"
                               title="Excel export"/>
    </af:commandToolbarButton>I found a similar forum post here File format of exportCollectionActionListener ADF 11g But they are suggesting a registry fix which is not possible in production environment.
    Any possible workaround or suggestions to resolve this issue is much appreciated.
    Thanks

    You can save the data on the client and the check the data.

  • Is it possible to save a file that won't open anymore?

    I have an Indesign CS6 file that I haven't opened for a few months and now it won't open and crashes Indesign each time I try opening it.
    All other Indesign files are OK, but this one???
    Does anyone have any suggestions bar recreating the file, which is my last resort.  I do have the PDF that I sent to the printers, but need to add in two new pages.
    Many thanks

    I'd like to echo Peter's concerns about opening PDFs in Illustrator... Illustrator is not a PDF editor. The only PDFs that can be safely opened in Illustrator is a PDF that is saved from Adobe Illustrator using File>Save As>PDF.
    There are other options available - Markzware can and do as far as I know convert the InDesign file to Quark and back to InDesign as a service - you could try contacting them if all else fails http://markzware.com/support/

    The only full PDF files that Adobe Illustrator can safely open are PDF files saved from Adobe Illustrator itself using the save for editability option.
    Why? Adobe Illustrator operates in +either+ CMYK +or+ RGB and +only one+ specific color space per document. Thus, a color-managed PDF file with more than one color space with opened in Illustrator would be ruined. Also there are many PDF constructs that Illustrator knows nothing about. At best, they are treated as foreign objects that cannot be edited. And for text, Illustrator only "understands" particular encodings. General PDF can lose text when opened in Illustrator.
    Illustrator can often be safely used to modify specific, simple graphic objects as the vector graphics touch-up tool editor, but not much more.
    Proceed at your own risk!

    Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, and repeat yet once again not a general purpose PDF file editor. Opening any arbitrary PDF file in Adobe Illustrator other than PDF files saved in that version of later of Adobe Illustrator with the editability option (which saves the Illustrator document editing data as private data within the PDF file) may result in content loss or corruption.
    To answer your specific question, don't expect any PDF layers from AutoCAD to be preserved.

    PDF layers are part of an overall feature known as optional content in PDF and are conceptually very different than Illustrator layers. Since PDF optional content features in general are very much a superset of Illustrator layers (PDFMaker for PowerPoint uses optional content to handle certain slide build features, for example), there would be no easy way for Illustrator to readily pick and choose what optional content features to support and translate. As such, don't expect this to be "rectified" in any way in future Illustrator releases.
    (To make things even more interesting, both PDF and Illustrator layers are very different than Photoshop layers which allow for defined interactions between layers such as masking!)

  • Quicktime files suddenly won't open

    Hi, I'm running OS 10.8.5.  Recently updated some codecs and various other updates for my OS--the most recent updates.  Now my videos will not open, nor will jpg's open in Preview! (?)  No error messages, just won't open.  I am a video artist, and have various file types--it won't open any .mov, .mp4, or any others.  All do open in VLC, so it's not the vids.  I've been running QT 10.2 with no problem till now.  Some weirdness: I noticed that when I updated iTunes (which may have nothing to do w/ this), it updated to the Yosemite version (12.0.1.26), though my OS is Mountain Lion.  Help?

    Unfortunately, the latest version of QuickTime does not have the ability to export using third-party plug-ins, however Apple has made QuickTime 7 available to install alongside QuickTime X. You can install it from the Snow Leopard install disk or by running a Quartz (*.qtz) file.
    QuickTime 7 will install to your Applications/Utilities folder.

  • ProRes422 HQ File (142gigs) won't open on PC running win7 & Premiere CS5

    -My associate has Adobe Premiere (CS5) running on her PC under Windows 7 and cannot open the 142gig prores 422(HQ) QT file on my Gdrive and I believe it's because she's running Windows 7.
    -At ScreamerVision in NY where I had the file put on a 1tb GDrive from my XDcam Master, we managed to open it on a small Dell machine running XP and it ran the 142 gig movie flawlessly.
    -Do anyone have any ideas why it won't open on her PC or if there's a plug-in from Apple or Adobe that she could put on her PC that would make it possible for her to open the Prores 422 HQ file on her PC with Premiere? Once she does that she can transcode it to any file format she needs to use.
    - She doesn't appear to have any PC machines running XP except for an old one that doesn't have USB 2.0, eSata or Firewire (all the outputs of my GDrive).
    Anyone run across this before? Any suggestions or answers? Thanx in advance.

    A.  PROBLEM: Each time I try to use this reputable program (version 5.2 (7534.52.7), I encountered the following problem:
    Program (1) loads instantly, (2) presents the browser space, (3) agrees to open new tabs, (4) but when I try to direct it to ANY URL at all, the hour-glass appears, but the wait is fruitness.  I cannot reach any site at all.
    I've tried to access the program, both as "administrator" and regular "user."  No joy.
    All I ever get showing is the interesting interface (and an hour-glass on an URL-call) and nothing else.
    Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
    iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

    Useful info, Katrina. It's been so long since I had install an app to handle that (Remember Stuffit?) that it didn't occur to me that Windows either couldn't do it or didn't come with a utility along with all the other stuff that seems to come on an new computer.

  • Edge Animate files (.oam) won't open on Mac

    I have a Muse template I purchased with Edge animations, and I have Edge Animate CC installed, but the files fail to successfully open in Edge Animate CC on my computer when I try to open or edit them. When I first tried to open the files, they weren't associated with any application, so I associated them with Edge Animate. Now if I try to open one of then it will open Edge, but the files will not open. The program opens, but the files don't. They also don't open from within the program itself. In the Finder, the File Info dialog box lists Kind as Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014.1 Document. In the preview section of the file info box it doesn't show the nice icon, it shows the Mac's plain exec icon. In the Finder, it shows the nice Adobe OAM preview with the "M" shape drawn out in paths.
    I am running OS X Yosemite, 10.10.2 on an iMac Retina (Late 2014).
    Steps I have tried so far:
    I have uninstalled Adobe Edge Animate CC, then reinstalled
    I have restarted the computer
    I have repaired disk permissions
    I have attempted to open with Dreamweaver (program opens, but file doesn't)
    I have inspected the contents in a text editor. xml document within contains the comment: CDATA[Widget Exported from Adobe Edge]
    Anybody have any ideas why I am running into problems opening the files? Thanks in advance.

    I have learned that I don't need to open the .oam files, there are .an files elsewhere I need to open. I will mark my own question answered in this case.

  • I have a mac laptop OS 10.6.5, and recently upgraded to Firefox 4 beta, but when I try to use my hotmail account, it either never stops loading and/or many files either won't open at all or keep crashing.

    When I open email in my inbox, they continually load and flash. I often have to use the "back" arrow several times to make it stop. Sometimes the message just won't open at all. Also, I can't open "sent" mail at all.

  • Indesign Files just won't open

    Hi,
    I try to open some Indesign files in CS6 & when I attempt to open them nothing appears.
    The program doesnt even give me an error it just doesnt open the file.
    If I open the file without Indesign open, it will open the Indesign program but no document.
    All files have been created in InDesign CS6 on OSX Maverick.
    Please help as I create something one day & the next I can't open it.

    It is just some files not all.
    If I double click one of the corrupt files it opens indesign & its toolbars but no artwork.
    I restart my computer daily. Same issue in a different account.
    I tried to duplicate the file in the FInder & got this error -
    The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “File Name.indd” can’t be read or written.

  • "File History" won't open/start for domain user profile/account

    I'm trying to use the File History feature in Windows 8.1 to create backups.  When I click "File History" from the control panel, nothing happens.  No new window opens, it just stays at the Control Page.
    I've tried manually going to "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\File History".
    All works fine with local Administrative user profile.
    Why does File History not start/open/run for the domain user account that is in the Administrators Group?

    Hi,
    Base on my lab machine (Windows Server 2008 R2 DC, Windows 8.1 client). either domain admin user or domain standard user, they all work fine.
    What's your environment? Did this issue occur on all domain user or specific one?
    In some cases, File History may conflict with the enterprise policies (like retention policy). I suggest you contact your IT admin to see if there is some other policy to limit this.
