I've set OpenOffice Writer as the default for downloding .doc files but everytime I download it the default is swriter. I have to manually select OpenOffice Writer each time. Any clue as to what's wrong ?

I have a new desktop HP PC running windows 7. I have downloaded the OpenOffice suite having used it already for several months on my old PC. I didn't have this problem on my old PC (DELL D400 Windows XP) on which I previously used IE8.

Cor-el's suggestion resolved my problem. Apparently the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable was set to 1 on my system variables. I never made it, and really have no idea how it got there, but deleting this variable and restarting firefox has resolved the issue. Thanks Cor-el!
Marking case: Solved
Solution: Verify the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable is NOT set to 1. This can be achieved by simply deleting this variable.

  • HT4600 Airport Express light is solid green but I can not get on the internet.  Any clues as to what is wrong?

    Airport Exopress light is solid green, but I can not get on the internet.  Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this?

    Would you please provide some more information about your current network so that we can help you? For example, is your AirPort Express the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to a broadband modem or to another router upstream of it? Regardless, what is the make & model of this modem?
    When changing network equipment or when setting it up for the first time, it is always a good idea to perform a completer power recycle of your networking equipment. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for the details.

  • Hi- I am trying to download music to my ipod from my computer. I have an itunes account and the music is on my computer but won't download to the ipod. It is telling me I need to download software but for some reason the software won't download.

    Hi- I am trying to download music from my computer to my ipod. I have an itunes account and the music is on the computer but it won't go to ipod, it keeps telling me I need to download an upgrade but the upgrade does not complete itself and after like 2 hours displays an error sign. How do I fix this so I can get the music to my ipod. Both ipod and computer(toshiba, windows 7) are brand new. Help!! I am not technologically smart!

    I suspect that you are saying that you can't download/install the latest version of iTunes. 
    All I can say is try removing and reinstalling the Apple software using the following:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    If you have further problems with installing Itunes I suggest you post in the iTunes forum since you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem.  Also report the wording of any error messages. What they say is importent on resolving them.

  • When I open a link to a doc file, it opens in Microsoft Office 2010 as a .bmp file. I opened Firefox options to change what application should be used to open doc files, but it only gives me the option of the general Microsoft Office, not Microsoft Word.

    This did not happen on my laptop when I installed the Microsoft Office home & student edition, and my laptop also has Windows 7 and I use Firefox. Please help!

    Menu > File > Save As… > you get a wide choice of formats
    Are you using  Windows Word or Word for Mac?

  • Why do we have to manually recreate our accounts each time the email server goes down?

    On very infrequent occassions (fortunately), our email server will go off-line.  Whenever this happens, every one of us has to login to the Blackberry Internet Service website to reenter the account information.  This is very annyoing.  Why doesn't it just automatically reconnect when the email server goes back up?

    No idea why. I'm guessing the the BIS system goes to check for email and can't find the account.  Then it sends you the email to revalidate and it won't check again until you do.  If it was setup to check too many times with, say, a wrong password, it may lock the account.  This is only a guess on my part. 
    Your people with accounts setup like this should know how to go to their email setup on their device and validate the password.  It's not very complicated and takes only a moment.

  • Each time I copy from the web to a doc file, firefox seeks to go to the web. If I deny it access, it drops my connection to the web and I must start over.

    using windows2000, firefox 5, Comodo firewall Pro, I believe this began when firefox did an update. It also occurs when I examine a pdf file. This started a few weeks ago and it is now getting to be to much to bear. I wanted to know if there was a simple fix before it irritates me enough to do something in frustration.

    Hi!
    I had the exact same issue, being on a mac. If you are on a mac and the connection error message occurs, then use this link http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
    It allows you to download it offline, which is what I used.
    Hope I was help!

    The screen that says "Download Now" also shows the proposed iTunes version number (in the box below):
    Be sure it indicates 11.1.3.
    If it is, here's further troubleshooting:

    Trouble with calculating fields. Can't select (check) fields. Also can't figure out what's wrong with a division field (percent) that I created. Keep getting the pop up that format of the field doesn't allow blah blah blah... Help!

    1. Use the mouse to select the field and then press the space bar.
    2. A null string is the same as zero. What is the result for division by zero?

  • I had a new hard drive fitted to my imac and restored it from my time machine back when I try to open itunes I get this message "the itunes library extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"

    I had a new hard drive fitted to my imac and restored it from my time machine back up on an external hard drive when I try to open itunes I get this message "the itunes library extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"

    To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file.  Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty.  Note that I am running Windows 8.  Hope this helps!

  • Using Crystal Reports as the default for opening .rpt files

    Hi all,
    I know this is a simple question with a simple answer, but I'm baffled, so here goes. I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 and I have the Crystal Report Viewer installed on my computer. I want to open .rpt files with Crystal Reports 2008 as the default application, not Crystal Report Viewer.
    When I right-click the .rpt file I have three options, Crystal Report Viewer 2008, Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector, and Choose Program. When I select Choose Program, then click the Browse button, Crystal Reports is not available as one of the programs to choose.
    When I look at the programs available via the Control Panel, I see Crystal Reports 2008, but I'm not able to select it as the default for opening .rpt files. I'm assuming the program file is in my Program Files folder somewhere in the Business Objects folder, but I'm not sure which file I need to set Crystal as the default program. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 12
    then crw32.exe

  • How do I change which application is the (default) for a given file type?

    For .pdf files, I have set the application behaviour to "Always Ask", because sometimes I want to open the pdf, sometimes I want to save it. So far so good.
    Now, when I want to open the .pdf, I have added an application to the dropdown list, so now I have "Adobe Reader 9 (default)" and "okular".
    The problem is this: I *never* open using Adobe Reader. I always want to use okular, but Adobe Reader always appears first on the list, as it is the 'default'. This means I always have to click on the dropdown and select "okular", i.e. an extra step every time I want to open a pdf.
    How do I change which application is the default?

    Yes, I know that. That was the first sentence of my question, but it is not the problem I have.
    I want to change which application is the (default) for a given file type, and this cannot be done from the settings.

  • What is the extension for debug log file name?

    Hi,
    1) Please let me know what is the extension for debug log file....
    is it .dbg or .log ?
    in one of the sr the service engineer asked to put .log as the extension is this correct?
    here is what he said...
    a) Enable the following Profiles at user level:
    OM: Debug Level = 5
    INV: Debug Trace = YES
    INV: Debug Level = 11
    INV: Debug File = [directory value from above query]/logfilename.log
    (make sure that you have write permission for this file and directory)
    WSH: Debug Enabled - Yes
    WSH: Debug Level - Statement
    2) do the end-user (for whom trace is enabled) need to have read and write permissions on the directory and the log file?
    Thanks
    Raju

    (make sure that you have write permission for this file and directory) It is what you set in the value of "INV: Debug File" profile option (according to the above value, it will be logfilename.log).
    2) do the end-user (for whom trace is enabled) need to have read and write permissions on the directory and the log file?No, just make sure the directory is writable by the oracle and applmgr users.

  • TS1424 When I made purchase it pop up " your session has time out, pls try again" what went wrong?

    When I made purchase it pop up " your session has time out, pls try again" what went wrong?

    For me this happened on the 25th of September.
    Before lunch I updated a few apps, when I tried in the afternoon I had to answer some security question. And no matter what I got The session timeout message.
    I use the new iPad and I have IOS6.
    Just tried on my iPhone4 with IOS6 and it worked.

  • I just recently purchased the iPad wireless keyboard and I've followed all the steps, but everytime I type in the code to pair it, it says it cannot be paired. I've kept in close range, pushed the connect but it won't connect. What do I do?

    AS Tesserax said you must
    disconnect your laptop from the existing wifi network
    Connect to the default Apple Networkxxxxxxxxx - that is your AEX open network
    Go to the Airport Utility and set the AEX router to extend the Existing Network >> in the AirPort Tab > Wireless Tab >> Wireless Mode - choose your Linksys network and enter credentials - your AEX should now join the Linksys network
    Then switch back to your original wifi network and your AEX should show in the AirPort utility as well, extending the range of your Linksys network, green light on
    PS: Win XP support for WP2 authentication downright *****. Even with SP3, get ready for some "cannot connect" warnings. My Dell laptop from work would have major issues connecting to my home's AirPort WPA2. I had to downgrade to WPA at some point.

  • My screen on my Iphone 3gs has lost it's light, Like, I have to hold it in some type of light to see it, what is wrong here?

    My screen on my Iphone 3gs has lost it's light, Like, I have to hold it in some type of light to see it, what is wrong here?

    This is called "no backlight problem". Try a Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart, usually takes 10 seconds of holding both buttons.
    This problem is usually due to Liquid Damage to iPhone, either Logic Board component or LCD Display.
    If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage, hope it is not Liquid Damage and make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.
