Browsers don't normally open swf files directly, they are
supposed to load through an html header. Many people put swfs on
their
WebPages without the html even though they shouldn't so you
need to set your file associations so that your browser is told to
open
swf files. If you run windows..
Open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer)
Tools..
Folder Options..
File Types..
Scroll down to SWF
In the lower box it says what SWFs are supposed to open with.
If it doesn't say Internet Explorer or Firebox or (your browser)
then
you need to click on the 'change' button and select your
browser from the list. Turn on the check mark for "always open
with..."
If it already says your browser name then the browser might
have it's security settings set too high to view the swf files. (or
JavaScript turned off)

.swf file will work in Internet explorer but no other browser

my issue is that i have an .swf file that i loaded to the remote side of the server on the net, and when i try the link, the link appears to work, yet the flash movie will only play in Internet Explorer and no other browser. Why will this not play?
All my other flash bideos are loaded as .swf files as well and work perfectly. The only thing i can think of personally is we purchased a flash animation ( the ribbons you see falling ) and that may hvae some conflict issues in the coding, but all in all i dont see that being a problem when being published as an .swf file. I have made sure that my publish settings are the same as all my other movies, but still can not figure out why this one and only movie will not work, please help.
http://www.unicefusaecards.org/proofing/new_year_confetti3/ is the link to the flash animation the i am needing help with.

I just opened the webpages through Firefox and while on the page Firefox did not change I hit control F5 and it changed the page. Thank you so much. It is now up to date on my computer also.

.swf won't open in internet explorer

Hi,
This is driving me mental, flash seems to hate me! created a webpage in dreamweaver and then dropped .swf videos onto it. One video though was originally a .mov which i encoded to f4v in media encoder and then exported as a .swf from flash. It worked fine on my computer and now that it's uploaded it refuses to play. Also it won't preview on my computer anymore! Please help.
This is the page it's supposed to play on www.dpdigitalmedia.co.uk/portfolio.html

If you're having trouble installing Adobe Flash Player, try downloading the installer directly from the following link:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Save it, close your browser and run it.

FDF file opening in Internet Explorer--not in Adobe Acrobat Professional XI

Good morning!
I have created a form in Acrobat Professional XI and have a submit button that emails that data back as an .fdf file. This is working as it should.
However, on some of the returned emails, the .fdf file is opening in Internet Explorer--not in the associated file in Acrobat Professional XI.
Is this the default? Is there a way that I can specify that it always opens in Acrobat?
I looked on line, and found where you have to associate that type of file with Acrobat
I have Windows XP
in My Computer--in Tools, Folder Options, File Types, I have where FDF files are associated with Adobe Acrobat.
Are there other changes that need to be made?
We have a work-around--we can import the file data into the form--just takes a little longer.
I tested this before I posted the form online, and it worked perfect. Now that it is online, we are seeing some snags...
As always--Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your quick response!
no--it is an fdf file. Has an .fdf extension.
One difference that I have noticed that the file that is opening correctly (in acrobat) was sent from a gmail account. The file that is opening in internet explorer was filled out in Adobe Reader XI from an outlook email.
This is the window that appears when the file is opened.
On the Tools--the only items that are accessible from this screen is the AddOnTools--not all the tools sets.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

When I try to open a bookmark I get a box that says "what should firefox do with this file?" When I try to change the "open with Internet Explorer" I can't find firefox ? Last week this bookmark worked fine.

When I open a bookmark a box pops up that says "What should firefox do with this file? "open with Internet Explorer? When I browse I can't find firefox to change to. Last week this book mark worked perfectly.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

but my client asking why URL not open Internet explorer and moreover third party they given WSDL that file is open in internet expolerer.so
my question is why third party WSDL open in Internet explorer and why PI generated WSDL file not open in internet explorer.
please guide me where i did wrong and what should i answer to my client regarding above issue.
I hope,could you please clearly given points.

Hi,
Firstly, you should not give the host name and port name of the URLs that you are using. It is your company's security issue.
And the message that you get for the wsdl , when you open in IE is nothing wrong.
The wsdl can be of two types. One is a design time wsd, where you will just see the structure, importing and exporting parameters. It does not have the binding parameters within the wsdl.
When the same wsdl is implemented, then it has a binding with the backend system. It becomes a runnable entity. The wsdl generated from your PI system is one such entity (It is tied to a backend and is a runnable web service). Hence IE shows that message.

How to Play Documented type file in Firefox like Internet Explorer

I am student in 3d Graphics, so i viewing some tutorials like Digital Tutors Vedios.So I have a problem to open documented file in FIREFOX. The same file is opening in INTERNET EXPLORER. But I like to use FIREFOX only.

From what I've seen, none of the Linksys cameras have the option of DynDNS embedded in them. You could try setting DynDNS on your router itself. If you're using a Linksys router, all Linksys routers support DynDNS. Most other routers support DynDNS too.
Not too sure about hiding the controls in Firefox. Have you tried Safari for Windows? One would think that it should work the same for Windows and Mac OS.

When downloading a large file, like a movie Internet Explorer automatically provides one with the choice of where to save it - e.g. "C" drive, but Firefox doesn't. How can it be done?

When downloading a large file, like a movie, Internet Explorer automatically opens a download window offering the choice to "Open" or "Save"the file. This provides one with the choice of where to save it - e.g. "C" drive, in the "My Documents" or "Desktop" folders but Firefox's download window doesn't. This has always frustrated me because I would rather use Firefox exclusively to access the Internet, but when it comes to saving files downloaded off the Internet, sadly, I have to revert to IE!

If you click on Firefox from the upper-left, then Options, a new window should appear. On that window, click on the general tab. In the middle of the window, you'll see options regarding your downloads, one of which says, "Always ask me where to save files." Click on the bubble for this options, then click Ok. From then on, you should always be prompted on where you want your files saved.

When I open a page from an email document it opens in Internet Explorer - how can I stop this?

Hi, I use Firefox as my default browser but when I opened a link from an official emailed adobe document it opened in Internet Explorer - I want to force all browser links to open only in Firefox - I have checked the advanced options and Firefox is set to my default, please help.

Hi PCM1, if i understand well the problem you have is when you click on a URL in a pdf file, the link opens in IE ? Have you checked in the default programs panel to see if all was well set ?

Hyperlink in MS office to pdf opens in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox

I have some documents (Excel, Word) that contain hyperlinks.
Hyperlinks to websites (www.***.com or http://***.htm) nicely open in Firefox. But links to online pdf's (http://www.***.com/***.pdf) all open in Internet Explorer.
How can I change this?
I'm using Windows XP pro, Firefox 3.0.5, Office 2003, Adobe Reader 9.0.0

I have the same problem (roughly) - I have PDF hyperlinks in an Excel spreadsheet and, when clicked, instead of them opening directly in Acrobat (or via Firefox, my default browser), they open via IE. Regular HTML links in the Excel spreadsheet open in Firefox.
I have enabled the '''Block PDF files' access to all web sites''' option under ''Trust Manager'' category in the Adobe Reader ''Preferences'' tab.
I have also disabled the '''Adobe PDF Link Helper''' Extension in the ''Manage Add-ons'' tab in IE.
Obviously, neither of these settings made any difference.
* Windows XP Pro SP3
* Microsoft Office Excel 2003 SP3
* Internet Explorer 8.0
* Adobe Reader X (Version 10.1.1)
* Firefox 8.0

When I right click on an entry in the bookmarks and select Open in Internet Explorer, nothing happens.

When I right click on an entry in the bookmarks and select Open in Internet Explorer, nothing happens. It does work when I am on a page , right click and select View this page in IE.

If you right-click the image and choose View Image Info, what shows as "Type"?
If it shows JPEG image, for example, make sure to save the file with a .jpg file extension. If you place quotation marks around the entire file name, e.g.,
"myfile.jpg"
then you can ensure that the name as the correct extension. Does that help?

Hiding the menu bar of acrobat when opening in internet explorer

Hi, i remember vaguely about a certain suffix you can give to the link of a pdf file so that when it opens inside internet explorer, it does not show the menu bar. Could someone help me out and tell me what this suffix is?
I remember it was something like.... www.asfg.com/mypdf.pdf#NOMENU or something.
If there is any other way to do this, it would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,

How do I turn off a shortcut that says "Open in Internet Explorer" and default back to FF

I use FF as my default browser. A few shortcuts work better in IE so I select the option to "Open in Internet Explorer" and this works fine. Now I would like to undo one of these shortcuts and have it open in FF per the original. I tried to delete the shortcut but any new FF shortcut to that website automatically opens in IE.
How do I cancel that original transfer to IE so it will again open in FF?

Hi roblsmith, <br>
i am sorry for the previous post which was not well stated. Change the application in the Target field. It is on the left of the URL that you wish to open. You should have something like: <br>
“C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” http://url_you_want <br>
Hope that helped!

Cannot delete exe files - The action can't be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer

We have received 3 new computers with Windows 8.1. All of us 3 have the same problem: we cannot delete exe files with message "The action can't be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer"
For example, I download skypeinstall.exe on desktop, install the program correctly and then try to delete the file: file is in use by Windows Explorer, cannot be delete.
We reboot computer, we are able to delete the file. But, if I restore the file from the recycle bin on the desktop, I cannot delete it again until I reboot the PC. I used ProcessExplorer to see what is locking it and I can see 5 instances of explorer.exe
locking the file.
I can always reproduce the same way:
1-Reboot
2-Delete exe file
3-Restore file
4-Delete stop working and 5 explorer.exe handle are locking it.
I have tried the following so far after reading multiple threads:
- De-activating Windows Search service
- Activating User Experience service
- Deleting from command prompt (no success)
- In folder options: inactivate display icon on thumbnail and activate always display icons, never thumbnail
- Changing folder view (contents, detail, small icons...)
- Using Lock Hunter - not working until reboot
None of these worked.
We all have Windows 8.1 with Crucial SSD drive, could the problem be linked with the SSD drive incompatibility?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Please try to make a clean boot for your system, then check if this problem resolved.
Clean Boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If problem persists, try to open Resource Monitor to check handle of Explorer.exe, if there any exception, end them for test.

Mostly websites are not open on internet explorer and other browsers in my laptop

mostly web sites are not open in internet explorer and other web browsers in my laptop.

Rob,
Many thanks for your reply. It is appreciated greatly. I have added text against each of the points that you raise.
troubleshooting Addons is somewhat complex.....as from this side we do not know which addon may be causing the problem, so the
only recourse is to disable the types of addons that commonly cause problems in IE (for security and usablility reasons some older addons that you may have used previously with IE8/XP are no longer compatible with newer versions of IE that you are now using)....
The following instructions will stop your Toolbar and Browser Helper addons from loading in IE.
Start>Control Panel>Internet Options>Advanced tab,
uncheck "enable third-party browser extensions".
close any open IE windows and restart IE for the changes to take effect.
[GotaQ: Yes, did this but the problem then is that IE won’t open for me. There is no icon in the start menu or task bar
and routes such as using a command prompt or ‘run’ instruction don’t work. When I try this I get a window on screen that flickers for a bit and then disappears.]
Alternatively, your problem with keyboard input is most likely being caused by a form filling addon or a finger print reader
addon? Note: some addons like the Google toolbar have multiple features like form filling, you can disable the GTB's form filling features from its settings dialog (click the 'spanner' icon on the toolbar)
Use Tools>Manage Addons>Show all addons to locate any such addons and use the Addons Manager to disable them. (close and
reopen any open IE windows for the full changes to take effect).
[GotaQ: I tried disabling all of the add-ons in Google Chrome and the key-stroke mapping problem persisted, unfortunately!]
