Help,I can not open files

I have windows 7 and I can not open certain files,I am not very computer literate so please bare with me.
I recieved a document which is file type DOC FILE (.doc),when I try to open it I get a message saying adobe reader is unable to open as it is not a supported file or is corrupted.
I can open files if they are pictures sent as an attachment but not Doc format files.
I tried removing adobe reader and and reinstalling it but no joy.
any ideas
Thank you in advance

I'll guess that you are trying to open your .doc files by double clicking on  their icons, which in this case would indicate a file association  problem. Right click on the icon of one of your documents, select in the Open With box whatever  program you use for text files, and check on Apply to  All. Wording may be sligthly different because i am on a Mac right now  and in any case my OSs are in Spanish.

    Please help me in solving this problem. 

    Make sure Java is enable in your browser's security settings.
    Open Java Preferences (in Utilities folder)
    Make sure Web-start applications are enabled.
    Drag Java 32-bit to the top of the list.
    jnlp isn't an audio file format. It's just a java web-start program (Java Network Launching Protocol).

  • After update to OS X Maverick I can not open files in Lotus Notes Smart suite. Is there any way to solve this problem?

    After I updated to OS X Maverick I can not open files in Lotus Notes Smart suite. Is there any way to solve this problem?

    Ok this worked to solve the error.
    Use cmd prompt in windows 7 or 8 and run as admin:
    sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
    sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
    No need for all that power shell nonsense as shown elsewhere for windows 8.
    That's it. Also force smb2 disabling on the apple side for good measure.
    With the above I was able to network mavericks and windows 8.1 pro flawlessly. He issues I had before where I could not read video, ISO and audio files (but could open documents and pictures from the windows machine connected to an apple network share folder went away.

  • Garage band can not open files because sound can't be found

    can not open file. it says sounds are not on computer. but they certenly are! it offers me to buy it.... of i dont do.
    i meen i used that sound to create that file...
    one day it just worked again for some times. but now same problem again...

    Please repost in the InDesign forum. It sounds like a permissions issue. Please state your OS, your version of InDesign, and the location of the files that you cannot edit.
    BTW, in Lion, Apple decided that older files cannot be opened for editing. You need to open the file and do a save as to create an editable file. This is supposed to protect you from accidentally overwriting old files. I think it is a little big brotherish. But some have said they are happy with the new way of handling old files.

  • Fatal error : can not open file 'msvcrt.lib'

    Hello dudes !
    I am using windows and jdk1.6. I want to develop one application using JNI. As steps for JNI, i have created Helloworld java class and compiled it, then created header file using jnh. After that i have created HelloWorld.c file.
    To build dll file, i am executing the below command
    "cl -Ic:\java\include -Ic:\java\include\win32 -MD -LD HelloWorld.c -FeHelloWorld.dll".
    Command giving the output as follows:
    HelloWorld.c
    Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 8.00.50727.42
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
    /dll
    /implib:HelloWorld.lib
    /out:HelloWorld.dll
    HelloWorld.obj
    LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'MSVCRT.lib'
    Can anybody say why it is giving this problem.
    Also i tried giving the msvcrt.lib path as the value for -MD option,
    cl -Ic:\java\include -Ic:\java\include\win32 -MD"c:\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\lib" -LD HelloWorld.c -FeHelloWorld.dll
    Then it is giving "can not open file LIBCMT.lib" .
    Note : ...\VC\lib and ....\VC\include are added in the path.
    Can anybody tell the solution for this ?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi,
    I was with the same problem. You have set the your VCC environment.
    Path, Include and Lib.
    In your directory VCC (2003 toolkit), you have a .bat file (vcvars32.bat)
    Run the bat, or copy and past this command in your command prompt.
    In my compilation, I run the code, wihtout -MD and -LF. In your, just:
    cl -Ic:\java\include -Ic:\java\include\win32 HelloWorld.c -FeHelloWorld.dll
    thanks,

  • After o download the browser ,i get message that says can not open file what do i need to do to download the browser i have tried 5 times get same message

    its the same shit i asked before after i download the browser i get message can not open file what do i do to dwonload the browser

    That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Help!  Can't open files in all programs since installing version cue upgrade

    Please help. A few days ago I got some pop up (I'm in windows XP) saying updates were available for 2 adobe things. I just chose yes and kept working. Now, I can't open files in any of my CS3 programs. I have lost 4 days of productivity and fear losing my mind next!! after doing some research, it appears alot of people are having trouble since uploading some version cue upgrade for cs3. I followed their suggestions and unchecked VC in photoshop (my first offender) and suddenly I could open files again. But now I can't in Illustrator, but in preferences, it does not have VC checked.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the whole package. I've tried just uninstalling VC. Nothing's working and I'm having major deadline problems now.
    Please, please help! Thanks.
    Anne

    You can try a system restore to a point before the update. If you're lucky, it might work, but I often find System Restore will fail when you need it the most.
