  • "Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File" error message when installing new drivers

    Hello, I'm trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 Printer.  I downloaded the full feature drivers for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:
    Extraction Failed
    Cannot Open Output File
    And the process closes.  It happens at about 85% extraction every time.
    Any idea why?  I called HP but since it is out of warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - won't even give me basic support??  Poor, poor customer service.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    If you haven't still got the  Full Feature software installer, download it from the link below and save it to your Desktop.  If you already have it, place it on your Desktop.
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL20274/mp-53147-4/100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_USW_enu_NB.exe
    Make sure the Printer is disconnected from your PC.
    Download and install 7-ZIP.  Once installed, right click on the software installer for your printer, select 7-Zip and choose extract files, then click Ok.
    Open the newly extracted folder and double click the setup application to start the installation ( the setup application will probably have the same icon as the original software installer you downloaded ).  Connect the printer to your PC when the software asks.
    Hope this helps.
    Best wishes,
    DP-K

  • I am trying to download a ebook into my adobe digital editions and I keep getting a error message saying that connection error?

    I recently purchased an ebook, downloaded all the correct software and when I go to put it into my library i get an error saying "connection error" cannot connect to activation server. HELP!

    I have this same problem in October of 2013. I am unable to import .ics files into Lion that I exported from my Snow Leopard MacBookPro without losing all of my future events (which all have alerts attached). All of the events from BEFORE today's date are successfully importing, presumably because they are no longer expected to trigger alerts via Apple Mail. After my first unsuccessful attempt, I learned that iCal was communicating with iCloud by default. I have since turned off iCloud, but I have not found a solution to the problem. Harvey

  • Why won't Text Edit and Preview open in Lion?

    I have installed Lion over Snow Leopard on my MacPro Dual Core Intel Xeon AND also mad a clean installation on an external hard drive.
    In neither case will Text Edit or Preview open.
    When I first log into Lion as the various application open on the desktop I notice that a couple of Text Edit files on the desktop mount a coloured icon. After everything is done the icons revert to a grey and white one with a grey "RTF" in place of the picture.
    I found the same problem with pages (1Work 9.0) but then I found and upgrade in the Lion recovery pages on the Apple website. Unfortunately there is nothing similar for Text Edit or Preview.
    Otherwise everything else seems to work.

    I just found the solution on our problen on another post entitled:
    After upgraded to LION, Preview.app and Textedit.app keep crash
    The problem only occurred on one account on my machine.  For that account the ownership on the "Library" folder at the root level of that account was wrong.  I set it to the credentials of that user (me) and now both Preview and TextEdit open and work without crashing.  This is a hidden folder when in the Finder, but I use the Terminal application a lot, and from there I did a chown to change the owner and group of the Library folder.  An additional problem is that you need to have root access to make the change.
    The discussion I refer to above gives the procedure to use when in the Finder, so if you're not familiar with using the Terminal window, that is probably the best solution.  In that discussion, see the post from Silvertoe on Jul 21, 2011 10:08 PM.
    Good luck.

  • I have an iMac and cannot open PDF files in Firefox now. How do I fix this please?

  • I have adobe 9 and cannot open PDF files????

    I have Adobe 9 and cannot open PDF Files.  It gives me an encoding box??

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Flash is slow and cannot open previous files

    flash 8 professional is slow and cannot open previous files,
    I can't fix it. I use a Mac. It also crashes while loading if I
    open another app. any help, please?
    EDIT: Also, I CAN open flash, if that helps.

    Have you checked that you are opening the new version? To check this, open a Finder window, select Applications in the sidebar and open the Pages app with the new icon, so you will get the new version.
    Your problem is caused because Apple decided to keep the old iWork applications version after installing the new one. The only thing you have to do is to open it from the Applications folder, or drag the new version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly

  • Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

    Hello,
    I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry.  I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC.  In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
    It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
    As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
    So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

  • Cannot open PDF files - generated response says I have to accept Licence Agreement. How?

    Cannot open PDF files. Message generated says "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser." Surely I must have accepted the Licence Agreement at the time of installation and am unable to "launch" Adobe reader. Anyone else had this issue please?

    For Chrome I went went into the plugins: chrome://plugins/
    The "Chrome PDF Viewer" was disabled. I reenabled it and it allowed me to view the PDFs again.
