X200: Windows cannot find file error (& cygwin problem)

Often (about half the time) when I double click an icon (.docx files typically) to open I get a error reading"Windows cannot find ‘C\Users\username\Desktop\filename.docx’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."   I can *always* resolve this by simply double clicking again.   I ran  a complete disk check (the thing that runs on reboot) and it passed with no errors.  OS: Vista with all updates, Apps: Office 2007 with all updates.  Disk: Solid state (128GB) SAMSUNG MMCQE28G8MUP-0VA
Any suggestions for troubleshooting tips? 
 I also wonder if this might be related to the following problem.  I have CYGWIN installed, and once I have changed a file in emacs and saved it, emacs can no longer find it (no matter what I do).  These days I get the message within emacs "file is not readable", although in the past the error has said something about a fork.

There is a primitive called 'Request Deallocation' that is suppose to free up resources in a VI after it is called.  You could try using this.

  • Problem extracting Acrobat XI setup.exe file - using WinRAR extractor - "Windows cannot find file...

    I have downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI from my university download site (so I know it's a legit, safe copy).  When I run the .exe file, even as an administrator, it begins to extract using WinRAR self-extracting archive and stops with a pop-up error:
    "Windows cannot find "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\RarSFX0\Adobe Acrobat XI\setup.exe"
    I scanned using Malwarebytes, AVG, Spybot, and ran a \scannow command.  Nothing finds a corrupt file.  Any ideas what could be causing the extractor to not work?
    I am running Windows 7 on a 64-bit Dell laptop.

    SOLUITION - I had to actually download a version of WinRAR extractor.  Right click the downloaded AcrobatXI-Windows.exe file and choose "Open with WinRAR" (this option was not available until I downloaded the WinRAR application - apparently the extractor runs automatically but doesn't have full funtionality).  Then I nagivated to the Adobe Acrobat folder in the WinRAR window and selected the setup.exe file to run.  It opened and installed beautifully.

  • Windows cannot find file

    Hi!  I'm new to LabVIEW (been using it for 2 months).  For some reason, as time goes by (after I install it), LabVIEW crashes more and more often.  At the beginning, it crashes (just quit itself and ask if I want to send an error report) once in a while, but would be fine again when I restart LabVIEW or the computer.  Today, I edited a sub VI and included in my main VI, then when I ran it, LabVIEW crashes again (and gave me the option to send or not send the error report).  I restarted the computer and tried it again, and the same thing happened (NOTE: LabVIEW crashed at a different sub VI that was working properly before, so I don't think it was because I edited a sub VI earllier).  I tried it a several time and still the same thing happened.  Then I turned off my computer (thinking I might have had it one for too long), and waited about half an hour until I tried it again.  This time, when I double click on a VI to open, it took a long time to open LabVIEW and then an error popped up saying "Windows cannot find so-and-so.vi.  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search".  The worst thing is, after the error popped up, LabVIEW opened the file that was not found.
    I'm thinking it might be related to project problems.  I had my main VI in a project before, then I deleted the project and the alias file.  Could that be it?
    Thank you.

  • Preview Template - windows cannot find file

    Hi
    While previewing the template from MS Word, it pops up with the following error --
    Windows cannot find
    D:\..\tmp\271234562718103out.pdf718103out.pdf
    When i try to preview it as a PDF, the pdf is located in the temp folder by the name 271234562718103out.pdf but somehow windows is trying to find out 271234562718103out.pdf718103out.pdf and pops up with the error.
    How is this file name getting generated? Everytime it appends some of the last characters to the file name.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance

    Open the following registry and set the work directory which does not include any spaces:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oracle\XML Publisher\Template Builder for Word\TB_WORK_DIR
    In my case the above Registry Key has the value:
    C:\Documents and Settings\p.jain\Local Settings\Application Data\Oracle\BIPublisher\TemplateBuilderforWord
    and I changed it to:
    C:\DOCUME~1\PAAAB~1.JAI\LOCALS~1\APPLIC~1\ORACLE\BIPUBL~1\TEMPLA~1
    and it worked.
    I suggest you copy the path from the error which you receive.

  • Cannot find symbol error - ArrayList problem

    Hey guys,
    I'll post the code, and then the error message below. Essentially I'm getting an error message on the add and it's a bit confusing, since I've imported ArrayList and add is a method in there as well.
    My question: What am I missing? If someone could post what I'm missing, I'd appreciate it. No trolls please.
    import java.text.NumberFormat;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Iterator;
    public class CDCollection {
        private ArrayList collection = null;
        private double    totalCost;
        //  Constructor: Creates an initially empty collection.
        public CDCollection() {
            collection = new ArrayList(100);
            totalCost = 0.0;
        //  Adds a CD to the collection, increasing the size of the
        //  collection if necessary.
        public void addCD(String title, String artist, double cost, int tracks) {
            collection.add(new CD(title, artist, cost, tracks));

            report += "\n\nCD List:\n\n";

                sb.append(aCD.toString());

    location: class java.util.ArrayList<java.lang.String>
    collection.add(new CD(title, artist, cost, tracks));
    Any help would be very appreciated folks.

    nm, figured it out, sorry guys.
    For those reading to figure out their own answer to a similar problem....
    Private ArrayList <CD> collection = null;and

  • How can I open my file after 'cannot find -filename-' error message?

    OK, the bottom line is, InDesign crashes and I cannot recover my file. I get a 'Cannot find file' error message when I try to open the file.
    I am using CS6 on a MacBookAir, OS X Yosemite.
    I have tried finding the 'InDesignFileRecovery' folder, I cannot find it anywhere, it's not in my Library or Caches folder.
    However, I do work in dropbox, so I just headed over to dropbox to recover from their 'previous versions'. It starts to get weird. There are lots of previous versions (I save very regularly) but when I download a previous version (that I know was fine) it downloads with a indd.txt extension. So I remove the txt extension and keep the indd and everything looks fine, but then that recovered file gives the same message. I tried renaming the recovered file and opening that, same 'cannot find file' error message.
    I can open InDesign and open the file from the day before, but none of the dropbox earlier versions of that day's work. I am SO sick of this happening. It happened to me last week to, so far I have lost 20 hours work :-(
    I have tried quitting InDesign and restarting the Mac, doesn't help. The only thing I can think of is to 'save as' every couple of hours, at least then hopefully I only lose 2 hours work.

    Thanks, when you say 'hidden by default' then how does one find it? I have already tried the path you mention and there is no sign of a cache folder with Adobe files. Spotlight doesn't reveal anything either.

    Hi all,
    When I try to I execute workbench.cmd, downloaded with OracleR TopLink 10g Release 3 (10.1.3), I am getting the error "Windows cannot find '-Xmx128m' .Make sure that you typed the name correctly...." .Further, my application is based on Java Swing and not a web application.
    I made the following changes in the <TOPLINK_HOME>/bin/workbench.cmd file :
    a) Set the 'JAVA_HOME' to the JDK path, same as that given in the
    Environment Variables setting.
    b) Set 'DRIVER_CLASSPATH' to point to
    <TOPLINK_HOME>/jlib/classes12.jar.
    My System configuration is as follows :-
    Operating System : WindowsXP
    JDK Version : JDK1.4.1
    Data Base Client : Oracle9i

    Can anyone please suggest any solution for this problem.I 'll be very thankful.
    Regards,
    Manju

    Have you run across this thread while trying to resolve this problem - How to start Workbench (Toplink 10g) Not sure if it applies to your situation, but thought it might be helpful.
    If this doesn't help, perhaps you can paste the contents of your workbench.cmd file into this thread and we can try to debug the issue further.

  • Receiving an error message when connecting to internet saying: windows cannot find "address" but it connects anyway???

    The error message that appears when trying to access internet says that windows cannot find "address" and asks to make sure it was typed in correctly. It continues to connect but is a hassle to deal with the error message each time. Any suggestions?

    What is the ip address you are getting on the Vista Computer..?
    Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Wireless Network Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
    IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
    If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
    If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, if you get request timed out, then you need to upgrade your router's firmware...If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press Enter...If you get replies for Yahoo then you should get the Internet after adjusting the browser settings...
    Adjusting Browser Settings : Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
    If yahoo times out then provide static DNS on your LAN Connection...
    Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Wireless Network Connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the Following DNS Settings' Preferred DNS 4.2.2.2 Alternate DNS - 192.168.1.1>>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...You should be able to go online...

  • "Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms" Windows 8.1 Installation Error - Parallels

    I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 via Parallels on my Macbook Pro.
    I create a new VM and use the .ISO file and get the error: "Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation."
    I found this question was answered here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/b1021d66-9774-4b5b-b50b-ad860c5ecc89/windows-8-enterprise-rtm-installation-error?forum=w8itproinstall
    However, following the steps of the solution did not work for me. I created a blank VM and chose Windows 8.1. After this, it asks me to insert the installation disc. I cannot figure out how to use the .ISO as the source at this point. I tried copying and
    pasting the path to the file and dragging the file to the VM, but no luck.
    If there is a way I can install this without this error message or by somehow getting the path to the .ISO that'd be perfect.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I would like to confirm if you have unchecked the Express installation box.
    Be sure to uncheck 'Express Installation' when installing, otherwise Windows setup will fail with an error "cannot find license terms" and get stuck in a reboot cycle.
    I suggest you refer to the following link to use Parallels Desktop to install Windows 8.1.

  • Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4(64bit)...'

    I've just installed the CS6 upgrade on my WIndows VIsta x64 bit machine.
    Just now, I opened a folder of files in Bridge CS6.
    I highlighted one of the files and selected Ctrl/o to host Camera Raw in Photoshop, which is what I always do.
    But, I got an error message saying that Windows cannot find Photoshop CS4.
    I did uninstall CS5 after installing the upgrade, if that makes any difference.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    D.

    For some users an uninstall of previous version wrecks havoc with file associations.
    First try edit/preferences/file type associations.  Click on reset "reset to default associations".  If that does not work click on individual file and set default to CS6.
    If the above does not work you either have to unistall CS6, run the Adobe Script Cleaner or read registry solution in this link.  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1005273?tstart=0

  • Spotlight and finder cannot find files as of a certain date. What can be the problem and how to solve?

    Spotlight and search field in Outlook on MacBoon cannot find files as of a certain date. What can be the problem and how to solve?

    Reinstall on both.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.
    Restore your iPhone to reinstall iOS. Be sure to do this while connected to your computer and iTunes.
