When going from the desktop to a website, I get the following message. "There was a problem sending the command to the program" Even though I get this message, I still connect to the website.

As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

  • After updating Firefox to 10.0.2, when I click on a link in an email, I get an error box saying "There was a problem sending a command to the program".

    I have not changed/updated my mail client, Windows Live Mail, so I assume the problem is with the updated Firefox.

  • Receiving message"There was a problem sending the command to the program" every time I access a website using a desktop icon via Firefox.

    When I click on a desktop icon and access a site via Firefox I get the message "There was a problem sending the command to the program". This started to happen after I downloaded the most recent version of Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it and the message still comes up every time. The site will come up about three seconds after the message appears but the message is a real pain to put up with. What is the problem? I am ready to dump Firefox and go to Opera.

    This might just be a typical Mountain Lion network glitch..
    Reboot the TC.. that is usually enough to fix it.
    Otherwise restart the whole network from off.. Reboot items in correct order.
    Modem.. TC.. computer. 2min gap.
    Tell us if that doesn't fix it.

  • Excel won't open and error message There was a problem sending the command to the programe

    Hi there
    I'd be grateful for your help.
    I've just bought a new laptop and installed Office 2013.  I used Excel 2013, did what I needed to do and saved it.  This was 5 days ago.
    Today, I've tried opening the file from my desktop and get the error message 'There was a problem sending the command to the program'.
    And when I try to open Excel to do the DDE fix, which seems to be the best suggestion, I can't open Excel at all.  I've tried to get into it from the Apps screen.
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks

    Don't seem like this can be fixed so I went back to version 6.0.2 which works good.
    I have Chrome now as my default browser and will not use fire fox until they fix it!
    Chrome works great!

  • Shortcuts and links fail to work and the message "There was a problem sending the command to the program." appears.

    Not long after I upgraded to FF4, my shortcuts and links stopped behaving normally. When I (double) clicked on either I got the message "There was a problem sending the command to the program." This problem doesn't seem to occur with IE9. I am running Windows 7.

    In my case, i have solved this by double clicking on the downloaded file directly from the download window

  • There was a problem sending a command to this program. Excel with new templates.

    I have recently deployed these UEV templates for Office 2013.  In particular, I'm having an issue with Excel 2013.  Whenever I let UEV sync settings for this application and I click on a .xlsx file, I get the infamous "There was a problem sending
    a command to this program..." error message.  This drove me nuts for a week thinking there was something wrong with Excel.  I finally figured out it was the Excel UEV settings causing the issue.  I've tried deleing the settings package file,
    but no luck.  I can reproduce the issue pretty easily.

    MS has released hotfix for this issue. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2927019/.

  • The icon for firefox is not working. "There was a problem sending the command to the program" pops up. Cannot get in to firefox

    Since the upgrade, the icon does not work. Now this message comes up. I made Google my home page by following directions on this site. I deleted the old icon as it didnt work, and this new one came up on my desktop and it presented the message above.

    Hi,
    Before you open any of the applications, please go to Task Manager to see if their processes are stuck there. If so, shut them down and try again.
    You can also try starting the applications in Safe Mode to determine if the problem is 3rd-party add-ins related.
    Please refer to this article below to learn more:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/support/why-cant-i-start-my-office-2013-application-HA104011864.aspx
    As for the Excel problem 'There was a problem sending the command to the program', please note when double-clicking an Excel workbook, a
    dynamic data exchange (DDE) message is sent to Excel, instructing it to open the workbook that you double-clicked. If you
    turn on the "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)“ setting,
     the DDE message sent to Excel by Windows Explorer is ignored, and Excel does not open the workbook that you double-clicked.
    To automatically solve this issue , we recommend to run “Microsoft Fix it 20074” and follow the steps in the wizard:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211494/en-us
    You can also try to fix it manually by the steps under 'Let me fix it myself'.
    If the steps above don't help, we can try to repair Office from Control Panel -> Programs and Features to check the result.

  • Acessing a website using a boomark generates a message "There was a problem sending this command to the program"

    Problem only occurs with Firefox - not with Explorer.
    If I access the website directly and not through a bookmark, there is no error message.
    The website is still accessed properly, but I have to click on 'OK' to get rid of it.
    Deleting and reforming the bookmark does not solve the problem.
    If I disable the Roboform extension, the problem goes away.

  • I upgraded to the latest version of firefox and when i click on a icon on my desktop after logging out of firefox it gives me the error message : there was a problem sending the command to the program how do i get rid of this?

    '''bold text'''

    @sjpierce - I don't believe that this is a Firefox-specific issue, but it does sound like you have some sort of malware on your machine. What was this innocuous link that you clicked on? A lot of viruses and malware make their rounds on Facebook.
    Regardless, what I would do is this ( I assume you're running Windows):
    * Download the Free and awesome Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) via [http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/]
    * Next update MSE and do a full system scan to ensure you don't have any existing malware on your machine. If so, clean it off and reboot. Keep doing this until you come up clean.
    * Refer to this article on SUMO [[Profiles|Profiles]]
    * Delete your old Firefox profile, create a new one and launch Firefox 4 again using the new profile
    You should be back to normal at this point.
    If you are running an OS like Mac OS X or Linux, it's unlikely that you have malware and you should probably clean your Firefox profile and start over again.

  • When I control-click a hyperlink in a text document, I get the message "there was a problem sending the command to the program"

    In the last few days I've found that control-clicking a hyperlink in a document, or clicking a link in Thunderbird, does not bring up Firefox. This started I believe after I updated to Firefox 5.0. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and Firefox has always performed perfectly until now.
    I had also updated Thunderbird which caused my ThunderBrowse extension to be disabled (not compatible) so I had assumed that was the problem in Thunderbird. But since it happens in a text document too, I'm no longer sure.

  • Since I downloaded Firefox 4 I now get the message: "There was a problem sending the command to the program." But it goes ahead and does it anyway. Is there anyway to get rid of this annoying message?

    see above

    My problem was resolved when I disabled the FoxyProxy add-on that I had installed. Someone mentioned this in another forum and it worked for me.

  • Can't open Excel files saved to desktop, get popup "There was a problem sending command to the program".

    Whenever I save an MS Excel file to my desktop, it creates an icon on the screen. But when I try to open it, I get a popup that says "There was a problem sending the command to the program."
    This happens with all Excel files - but MS Word and other files work fine.
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, I saw that earlier but it seems to be a temporary fix. I had the same issue return 2 weeks ago, then again yesterday. Each time, I've tried this solution which works but only to see it return at some time in the near future.
    Coincidently, I have a similar issue occur on my iPhone 4S w/ iOS 6. There, my keyboard shortcuts won't work in forms unless I tick off Data and Documents iCloud setting, power down the phone, then turn it back on. But like this, it only seems to work for a temporary time and the problem resurfaces in a few days.

  • There was a problem sending the command to the program

    I get a message "There was a problem sending the command to the program". All of my Excel workbooks!

    Hi
    When you double-click an Excel workbook in Windows Explorer, a dynamic data exchange (DDE) message is sent to Excel, instructing it to open the workbook that you double-clicked.
    If the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) setting is selected, Excel ignores DDE messages sent to it by other programs. As a result, the DDE message sent to Excel by Windows Explorer is ignored,
    and Excel does not open the workbook that you double-clicked.
    To solve the problem, we recommend you go Office Button /
    Excel Options / Advanced, and scroll all the way down to the
    General section.  There you will see the “Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)” setting checked.  Uncheck the box, click OK to apply, and you’re good to go
    For more information to solve the issue, please refer to the link below:
