Vista file associations can't find .ai files

I can't double click on an Illustrator CS4 .ai file and have it open in Windows. When I go to the Set Associations screen an tab down to .ai files it shows Adobe Illustrator Artwork 14.0 as the associated file. When I click on the "Change Program" tab I get a screen that does not show Adobe Illustrator CS4 as on of the choices for assoicating. If I "Browse" and find the Illustrator .exe application and click on it, it does not show up in the list of choices for associating.
Very frustrating.... Same is true of InDesign .indd files but I was able to change the association for Photoshop CS4 files with no problem.
Can anyone help?
Thanks - Joe Rivlin

You misunderstood me. If e.g. you use WinRar, you have an Shell integration page in the preferences of the program. Likewise, many virus scanners have similar options. I know that mine has. Disabling these will reduce the number associated with the <any file> file types and may free up slots to get your AI relations working again. Likewise, dig into the Advanced options of your file associations. You may have a ton of print, edit, open etc. actions defined there that compete with each other, effectively disabling anything. As I said - if it's messed up all too heavily and all else fails, simply scrap the existing associations and create new ones. When you do, use CCcleaner to delete the then orphaned registry entries...

Quicktime 7.0+ with Vista = error 46: can't find or load quicktime activex

For awhile, Quicktime Pro was working on my 32bit Microsoft Vista PC that I built, then sometime around 7.1.5 Internet Explorer would no longer play Quicktime files in my browser. No biggie, but then after 7.1.6 it would not longer load at all. I keep getting Error 46: Can't find or load Quicktime ActiveX control.
If I try launching Quicktime as the administrator, I still get the Error 46. And it just won't load. Even Sony Vegas Video won't render Quicktime files as that gives me an access violation.
I managed to find a Quicktime 7.0.1 installer, so I deinstalled 7.1.6 and installed 7.0.1 and all was well again. The program would launch and play Quicktime files and Sony Vegas Video would render Quicktime files again.
But as soon as I rebooted...Error 46 again...even after downgrading. Something's going on with the permissions and I cant seem to fix it.
The one shining light with 7.0.1 is if I launch it as an Administrator it will work after rebooting. But only if launching it as an Administrator.
7.1.6 will not do this. It will error everytime regardless of launching as an admin or not.
Anyone have any ideas how to solve this? And does anyone know if Apple is working to solve this issue? Hopefully this isn't too limited of a bug, otherwise I might be in for a long wait for a fix.

Hi, all
I thought I would post the link to another thread where I got this working on my machine.

Trying to install Acrobat on a Vista laptop, but can't find the installation icon in the Adobe Application Manager

Hi, trying to get Acrobat installed on my Vista laptop but can't seem to find an icon for it in the Adobe Application manager. I have a CC license and it installs fine on my Win7 but can't seem to figure out how to install it on my Vista laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Normally if something does not appear in the download options it means the machine does not meet the tech specs for the product. In this case, Vista is not in the tech specs for Acrobat Pro XI if that is what you are trying to install. For whatever reason it skips from XP to Windows 7.

Can't find any PCs on network

I'm trying to share files and a printer that is connected to a desktop PC running Vista. In the finder window I can't find the PC on the network on the side bar of the finder window, and on the Vista PC I can't find the Mac in the network devices window. All firewalls are down, printer sharing is on in Vista and File sharing and incoming connections are set up on the Mac. Both computers are set to the same workgroup, "MSHOME". The mac is running Mac OS 10.6.3 which is the latest update right now I think. Could anyone help me please, it would be a lot easier to print wirelessly without having to connect my mac to the printer all the time.

Did you read the Apple document Mac OS X: How to manually add a Windows shared printer and follow the steps?
Plus I found instructions (with pictures) for File Sharing: Snow Leopard And Windows that might help with Vista file sharing.

I installed 5.0.1 version and I can't find the Firefox orange button. Previously I added in this button many web sites. I hope I didn't lose them. How may I get this orange Firefox button back?

I installed the new (5.0.1) Firefox version to my laptop with Windows Vista and I can't find any trace of the Orange Firefox Button in the left upper corner. I need this button for normal exploitation of Firefox. And, formerly, I added plenty of websites to former version of Firefox (to orange button of this former version). Tell me please: 1. How may I have this orange button in my Firefox? 2. How to get back those websites written in former Orange Firefox Button?

This problem has been done before. Break this down into something simpler. You don't need an applet. Just do it on the command line. You don't need a database. Just create a flat file if you need some persistent data. Do the simple thing first, then build out from there.

When I click on a firefox icon i put on my desktop for a particular website, Windows [Vista] says it can't find the website, but then Firefox opens and goes to the website. The box stays there and does not go away. I had a similar problem with Firefox 3.xx but it went away and then opened the page. Now I have to close the box.

Where can I find, in time machine, the file of Wi-Fi associated

When I upgraded I started with a fresh install because I wanted that many things remain only in the backup.
Now where can I find the file association to networks of all wi-fi that I had before?
Let me know if i can see hidden files in Time Machine.
Thanks

The file is located in the startup disk at
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
so it is gone if you installed on a wiped disk. There is an option in the Time Machine software when you restore your files to select network settings, you would have needed to enable that to get the file. You may still be able to find that file and manually restore it but beware its ownership should be 644 root wheel. Also, close System prefs before restoring the file.

Hey,
if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders. You can then navigate all the contents as normal.

Can't find my data file to back up, so I can uninstall and reinstall the software. (Windows, Vista & Palm version 6.0.1)

I can't find my data file, in order to back it up. After going to Documents - Palm One, the only thing that looks like a user name is a file with no data. Somewhere there has to be another file with all my data, since data is available when I open the Palm One software on my computer. After backing it up, I want to uninstall and reinstall the Palm One software. I'm hoping this resolves my inabilty hot sync. Thanks! Lauraflavin.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
