Recently switched to Firefox. WMV files in Outlook Express will not open. Message: NEED CODEX.

"CODEX acquired" appears in lower left of screen, but file does not open. I think it did work before , when I use Internet Explorer.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.  The bridge no longer shows the picture view of my NEF files.  These are Nikon NEF files from the Nikon 5100 DSLR camera.  How do I fix this?

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.
    When you re-installed Photoshop, you also re-installed the version of Camera Raw which shipped with Photoshop - in other words you reverted to an older version of Camera Raw which does not support the D5100.

    The D5100 was first supported in Camera Raw version 6.4.

  • Outlook 2010 will not open

    I have Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. I've had issues with a problem in outlook where file was being generated in my PST folders everytime I opened outlook. I read where I should disable Norton Anti-Spam and it worked to allow me to delete the
    folders and not get any new ones. I thought I should try uninstalling MS Office and reloading it. I used the Control Panel to remove the program but it only partially removed Office and stopped. I then used FixIt and removed more of Office and got most of
    it but it stopped at the end too. I could not totally remove whatever remained of office but it looked like it was all gone. I also have Visio 2010 and Project 2010 and did not attempt removing those yet. When I tried to re-install office I got an error about
    legacy groove SW that needed to be removed first. I couldn't find a way to do it. I then read I could do a custom install and install everything in office except SharePoint Workspace. I did that and it seemed to work.  Everything worked except Outlook.
    So then I added features to the suite by custom install of SharePoint Workspace only. All seemed to work. But Outlook still will not open. I get an error that states: Cannot open your default email folders. An unexpected error has occurred. MAPI was unable
    to load the information service mspst.dll. Be sure the service is correctly installed and configured. I have Windows 7 Home Premium.  What should I do?

    Hi,
    Go to C:\Windows\System32 and double click on Fixmapi.exe, it won't give you any message, just reboot computer and try again.
    If this issue persists, create a new profile in Control Panel -> Mail to check the result:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
    If this issue still persists, we need to uninstall Office completely, then re-install it.
    Once you finished uninstalling Office, please also delete the following registry keys:

  • I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it.  What can I do?

    I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it. What can I do?

    Is it actually a PDF file or something else.
    You haven't given us enough information to do anything other than throw random guesses your way.
    Version of Reader? File type? Downloaded and saved to your desktop or are you clicking a link?
    Opening in browser or using File>Open in Reader?
    More info is better.

  • We have a mac laptop and dont have any problems with pdf files but our imac will not open them.  any suggestions

    we have a mac laptop and dont have any problems with pdf files but our imac will not open them.  any suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    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.

  • ? Some pdf files from the web will not open, some will.

    Some pdf files from the web will not open, some will. I am using Adobe Reader 10.0.1 on an 8-year old puter I have just upgraded to 2G of RAM. It worked fine before with 256K. When a file won't open I get error message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (103:103). Have uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe products several times. Ideas?

    Good luck with that. Adobe10.0.1 is a bug infested BAD program. Look at the posts relating to this issue for the last 3 days. Many, many problems. Support is no help.

  • Microsoft Outlook 2003 will not open after downloadin​g BlackBerry Desktop

    I just upgraded from a BB 8303e to the BB Tour 9630. When I downloaded BB Desktop manager to my computer the program required that I must download Microsoft.net Framework 2.0 SP1, I did that, and was able to bring over all current contacts and calendar. Once that was completed, I tried opening my Outlook, but received an error message stating that Outlook incurred an error. I have tried everything possible to correct but Outlook will not open. I reset my computer under system restore to a previous date which removed BB Desktop manager as well as the microsoft.net Framework 2.0 SP1, than Outlook would open as normal. So again downloaded BB Desktop manager and the required microsoft.net Framework 2.0 SP1 and again error messages came once again after I tried to open Outlook, so again I did system restore to a previous date so I could use Outlook.
    Has anyone had this same problem, can anyone help me resolve this issue so I can use Outlook and BB Desktop manager?

    Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
    The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
    If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
    Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
    Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
    Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
    You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
    Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
    After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

  • I downloaded firefox 3.6.9 but it will not open, says it's corrupted.

    Pretty simple, little icon kept popping up urging me to download the newest version of firefox, I tried twice with the same result. It seems to download just fine, but when I go to run the program it says it's corrupted and won't allow me to continue. Never had an issue upgrading before, so I really don't have any idea why it's not allowing it now.
    And please dumb down any responses, I'm not technologically inclined!

  • I am using an old Mac OS10 - 10.3.9 and when I download Firefox 3.6 it has a file name of Firefox 3.6.13.dmg which will not open or install on my computer. My computer views it as corrupt. Is my computer to old for this version?

    My present Firefox version is 2.0.0.20. Do I need to install an older version first? 3.0?

    Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

  • PDF files smaller than 8K will not open in IE 6.0

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe reader 8.1.3 and IE 6.0.0.
    I have an unusual situation where only pdf files LARGER than 8k will open in the browser. Anything small than 8k will not.
    This seems to be an issue with pdf files only as I am able to open other file types that are less than 8k with no problems.
    All of the files reside on a server and are accessible via a web page.
    If I login to the hosting server directly I am able to open them just fine regardless of the file size.
    I need this to work in IE as that is the only browser that is supported. DOD site.
    Any thoughts or suggestions as how to resolve the problem.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    This forum is for Adobe Reader on Unix platforms. It seems that you're using Windows, in which case the correct forum is at http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ee6b2e6/
