Indesign CS6 tries to open all my .exe files. How to fix this?

After installing a patch for Indesign CS6 all my .exe files are opening with Indesign. Now I can't even uninstall the program because it needs to open an .exe file to do so. How to fix this problem? I'm on Windows 7

The first thing I would try is System Restore

  • My email is crashing every time I open it. Any idea how to fix this?

    1 day ago my iPhone started crashing every time I opened my email. I've tried deleting suspicious emails (quickly before it crashes) but that didn't work. I went out to the web server and deleted the same emails and that didn't fix it either. I've restarted my phone and my phone is up to date on updates. Any suggestions on how to fix this? It's also now happening on my iPad and my husband's iPhone.

    Hi, I finally got it fixed and I think that I figured it out. I am sure it was a bid emial that got onto my server so I went to (For Me) comcast.net and cleared my server of all the emails then plugged my phone in and backed it up and then reset it to original settings. That solved all the problems and have not come back. Hope this helps. Phil

  • When I try and open certain apps, it flickers and doesn't open, I am not sure how to fix this.

    When I try and open open a certain app,it won't open and just flickers and won't do anything, does anyone know how to fix this ?

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Why am I getting missing plugin error in CS4 Indesign when trying to open indd or PDF files?

    Any help would be appreciated?

    PDF files cannot be opened in InDesign.
    InDesign files which are not able to be opened might come from a newer version, you might ask for an IDML file, but better to upgrade to the same version.

    I recently did an apps update and now the update is locked and I have 15 apps I can't open.  Any ideas on what may have caused this and to fix it?

    If Ralph's suggestion doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Every time i try to press new tab nothing happens it wont open, i need help on how to fix this

    I'm unable to open a new tab in Firefox. I've tried restarting Firefox, pressing Ctrl t, and going to file and pressing new tab. but none of it is working. does anyone know ow to fix this

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

  • HT203216 When I try and open microsoft outlook it crashes and won't open . Any ideas on how ti fix this ?

    Recently purchase office 365 home premium . Was working fine but now outlook wont open
    Any ideas ?

    1.  Your question has nothing to do with an iPhone, which is what this forum is for.
    2.  Your question has nothing to do with an Apple product, so I suggest you post your question the Microsoft Mac forums:  http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac

    OK, the only thing that I can suggest at this point is to take the machine to your local Apple Store and have them download and install the latest version of Safari. It's likely something that they'll do for free if you get a nice Genius...
    I don't know what I was thinking about - finely figured out that you MUST have an iOS or other device!
    Sorry we couldn't solve the problem... hopefully, you've a nearby Apple Store? Or an AASP?

  • Please help! I defragged my hard drive and now Illustrator CS6 is trying to open all of my complex Illustrator files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they are text files, and they are not opening!

    Please help! Illustrator CS6 started trying to open all of my complex.ai files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they were text files, and they are not opening!  Help!

    Hi Monika,
    I have spent the last two or three days trying to do what you suggested.  I uninstalled Adobe 6 from Windows.  Some files that CS6 placed on my system during installation remained, including fonts and .dll files.
    I had to abandon the Cleaner Tool you suggested because in one screen it allowed me to specify removing CS6 only, but on the following screen it only gave on option to remove ALL Adobe programs.  I could not do that because I didn't have the serial number handy for CS3 in case I want to reinstall it at some point.
    I tried to get technical help with the Cleaner Tool problem but no definitive help was available, so I reinstalled CS6 again without having the benefit of the Cleaner Tool.  I tried to get the serial number for CS3 so I could use the Cleaner Tool but spent 2 wasted hours in chat.  Even though I had a customer number, order number, order date, place of purchase, the email address used AND 16 digits of the serial number, in two hours the agent couldn't give me the serial number.  After two hours I had nothing but instructions to wait another 20 minutes for a case number.
    Illustrator CS6 is still trying to open some backups as Text and otherNone of the problems have been fixed.  I have tried to open/use the .ai files in CS6 installed on another system and am getting the same result, so I don't think the software was damaged by the cleaner.  The hard drive cleaner is well-known and I've run it many times without any problem to previous versions of Illustrator or any other programs.
    When I ordered, the sale rep promised good technical support and gave me an 800 number, but after I paid the $2000, I learned that the 800 number she gave me doesn't support CS6 and hangs up on me.  Adobe doesn't call it a current product even though they just sold it to me about 3 weeks ago.
    Would appreciate any help you experts can offer.  If I can't solve this, the last backup I can use was from June and I will have lost HUNDREDS of hours of work and assets that I cannot replace.
    Exhausted and still desperately in need of help...

  • Adobe InDesign CS5 needs plugs ins, but how?   Adobe InDesign CS6 won't open says OS problem.  Adobe upgrade site crashes on me. ?

    Adobe InDesign CS5 needs plugs ins, but how?   Adobe InDesign CS6 won't open says OS problem.  Adobe upgrade site crashes on me.

    You might ask in InDesign to learn how to install plugins
    >says OS problem
    What IS your operating system, and which exact version?
    Is the link below where you are starting for upgrades?
    All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

  • InDesign CS6 won't open files

    InDesign CS6 won't open some files. No error message, simply returns to previous 'Open...' view. I've tried restarting, rebooting, resetting my InDesign preferences and re-unzipping the original zip file. I can still open previously worked on files, though. (Even in the second folder of unzipped files, it's the same files that I can and cannot open.) Any ideas? InDesign

    Ooh – I just had another look to check that they are CS6 files. The are, but each file size is 0 bytes – think that may be the problem! Thanks again both for responding so quickly. :-)
    That sounds like you have the resource fork for a Mac-generated .indd file. Check to see if there is another file with the same name but a real file size in the zip archive. I suspect the "real" file (the data fork) is being unzipped first, then the resource fork is overwriting without warning and you could solve it by extract9ng the files manually.

  • Indesign CS6 crash when open Folio Builder

    Dear Adobe team,
    I have updated my DPS Desktop Tools in Indesign CS6 (windows8), with version 27. Then, when open folio bulider, my Indesign always crash, and automatically close the program. How to resolve this problem?
    Thx
    Indodesigner

    This happend to me many times with CS5.5 and CS6 since one year at least (I am on PC win 8 and two screens) last time was after installing v27 too.
    ID starts normaly and loads my favorite workspace opening the folio builder wich tries to connect to adobes folio server.
    at this very time the spining wheel stops and ID crashes.
    This is a complete mystery for me !
    After many tests I figured out that :
    1 - I could quickly switch my work space at the start, choosing one that doesnt display the folio builder
    2 - ID crashes ONLY when the folio builder displays on the second screen ... never on the "master" screen
    When I wrote complete mystery ... this makes no sense to me but well, this is how I still can work with ID
    For info, never had this problem with ID CC
