I cannot open file explorer on my computer.
I've been having this problem for the past day or so. I can't open the file explorer from the icon pinned to my toolbar. I also cannot open it by windows button + E, or by clicking on any other folder on my desktop. Whenever I try any of these three,
my entire screen goes blank to my set background color, then everything comes back up again. I tried a system restore to before my last windows update, which was yesterday, and I'm still having this problem. My Norton Security Suite will not open either, so
I can't run a virus scan. I've also tried opening the command prompt and run it as an administrator, but it won't let me. I want to try scf/scannow prompt, but this won't let me.
my entire screen goes blank to my set background color, then everything comes back up again.
Which suggests that explorer.exe is crashing and restarting. There may be clues about the crash in Reliability Monitor or Event Viewer.
You might also be able to work around your symptom by opening the File Explorer window elevated. A way to try doing that is to start an Administrator Command Prompt (i.e., an elevated cmd.exe window) and then in its command line enter:
explorer.exe c:\
(or whatever you want to open from there.)
Oh. Yuck. Apparently that doesn't work any more. I'm seeing /factory,{guid} -Embedding instead of the Command line I was expecting. YMMV.
I think the experiment may still be worth trying, e.g. at least your symptom description would no longer include "my entire screen goes blank..." <eg>

Hi AsusS550C user,
What is your current situation?
Have you tried the suggestions provided by the others?
In addition to the above suggestions, if we could access PC settings, we could take a PC refresh or a system restore.
How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC
Further, if issue still insists, take a try with the following command:
Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Cannot open file, Photoshop is not compatible with this version of photoshop. 2 weeks
This has been a problem for almost 2 weeks now. Cant save any work in photoshop, files are unretrievable once closed. I get the same error message. I spent all of last week online with Adobe Tech support, screen sharing conference etc, now iMac isnt working properly. AAARRFGGHH.
Same prob on iMac and new Macbook pro
Last week Adobe via screen share uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop, took a few hours and still nothing. I have lost many hours work here. Cant reach Adobe and I am really pissed off. Cant reach a human via the support emails they aren't working. I have asked to speak to a Programmer or Manager for help with this and I have received none!
Latest message sent through to Support:
OLd support file not opening.
I cant open this one:
1/26/11 Case #0182004961: Unable to open some photoshop documents.
Open - Pending Adobe Response
So we need to start a new way of communicating. I am really upset with Adobe, my Photoshop has been working improperly for almost 2 weeks now. Adobe accessed my computer last week and now MY COMPUTER is not working Properly. I NEED ALL OF THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY PLEASE!!!!!!
DO NOT withdraw this support topic. Please get a Manager to address this issue ASAP!!!!!!
If anyone reading this can get me through to the right person I would appreciate it. Hopefully Adobe will make reparation for all the trouble caused and time lost!
I should add that last night I tried to contact Adobe to see what the hold up was. I went and tried to open up the case file (No it had not been withdrawn and was still active), but it would not open. So, I started up a new support file with a whole new case number, I received an email this morning from Adobe saying that I would have to communicate with them through the original case #. Went to respond to this email today and the NEW case file had been withdrawn.
Yes, I have read all the user forums on this stuff for months, NO I am not using any Anti Virus stuff, No I did not upgrade my Macs at the time of the prob appearing! Thanks

Upgrade Plug-ins error (Cannot Open File)
I was working on a document in CS3 as a final thesis for my masters work. I was using a Blurb template in order to export the file for printing. In between working on the file, one afternoon I could no longer open the file and was met with the follwing error:
Cannot Open File
IMAGE.RPLN
IMAGE FILTERS.RPLN
HYPERLINKS.RPLN
"Cannot open "Masters_book dec.indd".
Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest
versions, or upgrade to the latest version of
Adobe InDesign."
I hadn't changed any other files on my computer or ran any updates. I was simply met with the error when I tried launching the application. After trying to run necessary updates I was still met with the same error message. I downloaded the trial version of CS5 on another machine and tried to open it and was once again met with the above error message. I have a back up of the file that I can use but it still represents a lot of lost work if I have to resort to an old file.I probably shouldn't dwell, on this, but I can get really worked up over it.
I come from the Cosmos and I can assure you we have sent no "Rays" to your puny Earth Planet today!(*)
Since this concerns a CS3 file and I haven't seen posts of others having the same issue, either with CS3 or with any other version, I have to take it as a One-Time Fluke.
I'm pretty firmly convinced this never happens. There are real problems and even if we only see them once, they are happening hundreds and thousands of times and going unreported and undetected, but they are no less real. In fact, because of the reporting bias towards repeatable problems, they are probably causing added frustration and confusion without being detected or fixed properly. So, IMNSHO, we owe a larger duty to pay attention to so-called "unreproducible" bugs.
(You can imagine how well these conversations with Adobe Support go...)
Of course, in this case, it's probably really hard to find the problem. And since it's effectively an end-of-life'd product that is 3 versions behind the released product and at least 4 versions behind the development product, well, it's hard to lose too much sleep over it.
(*) Yes, I know, this incident would not have been "today." Consider it time dilation. -
Cannot open files or create new files in Photoshop cc trial
Hi,
after getting no support from your phone support line. I am writing here in hopes that this issue can be resolved. I cannot open files or create new files in Photoshop CC trial. Please helpYou can open Photoshop, you cannot create new documents. If you click file>new, the normal new dialog box opens, if you click "ok" it goes away. If you double click a PSD it focuses the Photoshop window. Nothing else happens.
For me this is a new issue today. My computer is an i7/780, more than capable of Photoshop, and has run it fine up until now. My keyboard started freaking out last night and doing things I didn't want it to. I suspect it changed a setting or broke something.
I have uninstalled and re-installed and it did not resolve the issue.
This is obviously a critical issue that needs immediate attention. -
I cannot open pdf in my new computer in the internet. Help please
I cannot open pdf in my new computer in the internet. I have Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 11. All it does is open up a blank page with a white x in a black square. How can I fix this?
Hi Pat..When I tried to run Fix It the computer pops up a screen that says this trouble shooter does not apply to this computer .The article refers to Internet Explorer 10 and Im running Internet Explorer 11. I did try to see it it would fix my problem but the registry entry does not exist on my computer (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth) I can get as far as HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer but I dont have the option to choose Main. I only have the option to choose New Window which does not open up when clicked. Internet Explorer also has no value. Is there anything else I should try?

outdated.
Thanks for the reply anyway - I will plough on.

Hi Goldfinchabc, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If for some reason you can't find your Install Discs, at least try from the Safe Boot onward. -
I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?
Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?
Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

Error Message when installing updates: "Cannot open file (-3001)"
I have a MacBook3.1. with Mac OS 10.5.7. Three days ago I installed 5 to 6 updates for iTunes, iDVD, AirPort Express, Java, etc. After the installation, I could not access the internet because my AirPort wireless on the Mac was off (non-existent). I could not even scan for my network. I could not access iTunes, in fact when I opened iTunes, the application got stuck and I could not even "force quit" the application. I went to the Apple Store and was told to Re-install the original OS discs (10.5) received with the MacBook, which I did. After the installation things seemed to be back to normal. I was able to access the internet, etc. However, I could not open iTunes because and I paraphrase "the iTunes version that created/supported the application is not.....". OK so I need to update the software. Now, when I tried to update the software with the newly installed "re-install" 10.5 OS I received the following message:
"A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
Meanwhile, I was searching the internet googling the above message. So internet access was not the issue. I decided to create a "test" admin account to see if I could update from another account. Low and behold, I was able to access and update each new software update from the new "test" account and ultimately open iTunes from my personal (main) account.
Very confused and could use some guidance. Any ideas?Welcome to Apple Discussions:
My general rules:
Never install more than one update at a time - especially those requiring a reboot.
Whenever possible, use the manual updates and for OS updates, always use the manual combo update.
If a problem does occur, reinstall any "bad" updates with manual updates. Yes, they can be reapplied.
Again, one at a time. -
IMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."
Question, asked professionally
When will iMovie for Mac be able to open iMovie for iOS projects?
Question, asked snarkily
Any reasonable expectation that we will ever be able to edit projects--created in iMovie on our fancy new expensive phones--in iMovie on our fancy new expensive laptops?
Specs
iPhone 6 Plus (contract-free, 128 GB)
iOS 8.1.2
iMovie for IOS 2.1.1
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014)
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
iMovie for Mac 10.0.6
Error Messages
iMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."
iMovie for iOS: "An error occurred during export."
Frustration
Manufacturer: Apple (a multibillion dollar company)
The year: 2015
Hours lost: Three Weeks
Total costs for both devices: $4,000
Background Details
I just wasted thousands of dollars on these two hardware devices by making the rookie mistake of assuming projects were compatible across iMovie applications. However, the exported .iMovieMobile project files are in an incompatible iMovie for iOS Project format that iMovie for Mac cannot import. So I am stuck with a 15 GB .iMovieMobile project file--for an hour-long+ video--that I created and I was editing on my iPhone for weeks that I can no longer edit on my iPhone due to an error, nor potentially rescue the lost hours on my Mac, the sole reason I purchased it one day ago. The reason I can no longer edit the project on the iPhone is because iMovie for iOS suddenly stopped displaying the video of the project in preview, external display, etc. The clip snapshots remain visible and the audio remains audible, but the video appears fully black. Any attempt to export the video at any resolution generates an error message. (This error applies only to this project; other projects export without issue.) I can save to and from iTunes or iCloud without issue, but import into iMovie for Mac is unavailable for this latest version. Deleting and reinstalling the app does not resolve the issue. Nothing has resolved this issue; so I purchased the Mac as a last attempt, and it appears that I will have to begin the meticulously painful process of recreating the video from scratch with all the titling, sound effects, precise edits, transitions, organization, etc. This video was to surprise my mother for her birthday with "this is your life" footage, including my late father. It may seem like a small first-world problem, but such things carry big emotional impacts. What began as such a wonderfully intuitive and joyful experience has descended into a soul-suffering nightmare of catastrophic proportions. This software grinch stole christmas.
Likely Suspect
I believe this originated from Apple's confusingly designed iTunes client that removed videos used by iMovie for IOS during a sync, which I successfully restored back to the iPhone. This apparently resulted in iOS seeking and then claiming to find all of the videos, but somehow a bug in the coding causes the audio to play but not display video, and no way to resolve the bug from an enduser standpoint. I was hoping that iMovie for Mac would allow me a workaround, but I'll never know because the iOS and Mac formats are currently and dishearteningly incompatible.
Suggestions
I never performed a full backup of the iPhone, but I don't believe any of the iCloud nor local backups actually backup iMovie projects themselves anyway. (That's a fail.) So one must back them up manually to iTunes or iCloud.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS DAILY, IF NOT HOURLY.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING OR SYNCING FROM ITUNES.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING VIDEO CREATED OUTSIDE OF YOUR IOS DEVICE.
Resolutions
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon? Perhaps.
Return the Mac to Apple, if they allow? Perhaps.
Someone in this community will provide a magical workaround--that I haven't already attempted? Perhaps.
As unlikely these options may be, I shudder to imagine that I may be forced to suffer no resolution and $3,000+ completely down the drain, because if iMovie for IOS worked as intended, I wouldn't have ever purchased the Mac as a last ditch effort to rescue the project. It meant that much to me to surprise my mother by attempting to retrieve this project file from oblivion--but to no avail.I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever. -
Finder cannot open files in the "volume" format.
I had to downgrade from the second Yosemite beta in order to run one of my applications for work that didn't run on Yosemite. I've successful reinstalled Mavericks to the chagrin of finder not working at all. Whenever I mount a DMG I get "Finder cannot open files in the “volume” format." Also, whenever I click to open a folder or a new window in finder, it just crashes and relaunches. I'm going to try to do a fresh install of Mavericks and recover from a backup. Let me know if you guys have faced this same issue and found a solution.
I also had to regain admin privileges for my user which I have done successfully.I fixed my problem by installing Mavericks again. No need to fully restore.
