I can't open .exe file on vista under bootcamp but it works on parallels.

Hi all,
I have an .iso file with a game. When I open the .iso file on Leopard it opens as a disk image and then there is a setup.exe which when double clicked opens with parallels (with installed Vista) and starts installation of the game.
I have moved the .iso file to the Vista partition and open it with the WinZip but when I click on the setup.exe file nothing happens
Can you please tell me why is that it works under parallels and doesn't work under bootcamp?
thanks in advance

Thanks a lot I used Virtual CloneDrive and it works

Try running it through WineSkin or CrossOver Mac, or installing Windows through VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, Boot Camp, or similar software.

That's a question only the provider of the application can answer.
You could also take a look into the system event log if there is an indication for the reason of the application failing to start properly. It is possible that certain services are required for the application, but they do not run on the machine.
Another point is possibly missing rights. So you might want to test the application once with the option "Run as Admin" (right click menu item on the application shortcut or the exe itself).

How can I open PDF files? The usual procedures don't work for me. Thanks.

How can I open PDF files? Until a couple of months ago, I had no problem. Now I can open none of them. I have Adobe Reader X. Yesterday I uninstalled Adobe X, restarted the computer, and then reinstalled Adobe X. No success. Thanks.

What happens if you open Reader first then use File>Open like Bernd suggested?
Are you sure you are opening them in Reader and not a text editor or MS Word? I ask because Reader will not prompt you for a language.

You need a PC to run an exe file.
You can install XP via bootcamp or in a virtual environment or use an emulator, but you cannot run it directly in OS - X.

How can I open .exe files on my mac?

I have been sent a coule of tese files and eah time my mac is trying to open them with quick time. what should i be opening them with so they are usable?

An .exe file is a Windows application/program. You can't "open" them. You would have to have Windows installed in order to use them.
The only exception being if the file is a .zip archive that was created as, or converted to a self extracting file. Those also appear with the .exe extension. In which case, the free Stuffit Expander can open them.

Hi. I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, It worked yesterday. Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files. I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow. I have deleted and reinstalled the application. I have rebooted. I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program. Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message. It simply says Attempt to access invalid address. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Hi Don,
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferenes | Security (Enhanced)].
