OT - Winzip 12.0: Open A Zip File With Pictures In It, It Always Brings Them Up In Thumbnail View
Mar 23, 2010
I'm not having much luck with Google and I realize it's off topic in here, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction for help. In Winzip 12.0 when I open a zip file with pictures in it, it always brings them up in thumbnail view. I can change the view to "details" and get a list of the filenames which is what I want to be the default action. But I can't seem to find a place where I can set that to the default. Winzip 8.0 didn't do this. I was *happy* with 8.0 but unfortunately it isn't compatible with Vista or Windows 7
Contact has a Vista business laptop that until recently when you went into Windows Explorer to look at pictures you can press the email button and it would prepare an email in their email client Mozilla Thunderbird with the image as a file attachment.
However recently this has changed back to Microsoft Outlook for no particular reason. Checked all the defaults and they all point to Thunderbird still being the default program for email. Under file associations, have checked that for protocols, SENDTO is set to Thunderbird. However the "E-mail" button still now brings up Outlook. How can I change this back. It's very frustrating and I've played around for a good long while.
I have ended up with damaged and/or destroyed JPEG images due to the thumbnail icon feature and/or Photo Gallery. The condition can be created as follows:
1. Browse to a folder containing JPEG images. 2. Do nothing... as Vista generates the thumbnails, it struggles, and only "half" of it is created (see below). 3. When the image is opened, it is corrupted.
My understanding is that generating a thumbnail should not alter the original image in anyway. However, a thumbnail that was generated fine once before for an image that was fine once before.... yields something like this, which was formerly a perfect picture of my wiener dog's nose Not sure why this is happening. I've run all sorts of hard drive diagnostics (even though this problem affects files I view on flash drives etc. also), virus/spyware scanners (everything clean), and yet nothing has been found to explain this phenomenon................
is there any registry setting to fix the display of picture files (bmp, jpg...) in windows explorer (thumbnail view). I just installed vista and ACDSee (a few days ago) and just today noticed that picture files in thumbnail view have the ACDSee icon. can anyone send me the default (vista) settings for .
I recently have this problem with my windows vista. Each and every files and folders in my C: (Operating System) drive has huge thumbnails. When I open a folder I see the views set to the extra large icons. I have to set them back and when I open a new folder the icons there are extra large as well. How do I solve this problem?
just installed latest update to Vista Ultimate 64 and ever since i no longer have my AVI media thumbnails (little scrren shoot on thumbnail). I have tried to uninstall the updates and making sure that the Always show icon, never thumbnails option in Tools/Folder options/ View/ is not selected but still no luck.
I have windows vista only 1 year old It updates on schedule and virus and etc scans everyday and I have never had any problem until last week of opening my attachments even ones I send to family of family pictures, I have scanned my picture folder and no problems but in my emails after the emails come in and I go to open attachment, (and yes I know the ones I open are safe to) they will not open it just tells me there is no file, even on ones I have previouly sent out, now if I exit windows mail and then go back in I can open the attachments, in researching someone somewhere said certain emails with certain graphics, example they mentioned Kim Komando newsletters, would prevent you opening your own attach, I found this is true even with weather updates, pollen updates for allergys, and pillsbury newsletters and etc, anything with grapics
I am trying to open a disk that was given to me that contains pictures on it. When I check the disk's properties, it shows that 1/2 of the disk has information on it. But when I go to open it (from the COMPUTER page) nothing shows up on the screen other than a message at the top that says "Drag files to thisfolder to add them to the disc". I just want to know what I need to do to fix this so that I can open these pictures. I'm supposed to be doing a presentation with them for Sunday and won't be able to if I can't open the disk.
Sometimes when I download pictures from my digital camera, it creates "thumbs" which I can not open. The properties shows it as a db.file. This has only happened since I have had Windows Vista. XP was so much easier...wish I had it back!!! I read through the posts and checked to make sure the correct tabs were checked and not checked that had been suggested but the "thumbs" are still there!
I am new to this forum. Recently, I have been not able to see thumbnails of pictures. All i can see is the standard river and tree like thingy. Secondly, I can't open folders in the same window. Each time i double click, it gets opend in a new window. I tried different methods to both the problems like going to folder options, unchecking "always show icon, never thumbnails" , a full scan of my system( using norton). I even tried some of the solutions posted in this forum. But still both the problems are not solved.
One thing i noticed is that, when i on my computer, i can see thumbanils for few seconds then all of them get changed to the standard image.(river and tree). Could this be due to a virus or something?
I trying to open or view some attachments within Windows Mail. Usually it is attachments with a pps suffix,but not always. For example if I have an attachment amed "CreativeShotsAZ.pps" and click on it Open Office will open and then I will get the error message "C:Sysyem32CreativeShotsAZ does not exist". If I try to copy the attachment to the desktop I get the message "Could not find this item. This is no longer located in CreativeShotsAZ,pps.Verify the item's location and try again. I thought maybe that the pps format could not be read by Open Office so I downloaded a pps reader from Microsoft but since the system cannot find the file I can't use the reader.
New Toshiba laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 Bit. Windows Mail as email client; unable to view or open any attachments. Attachment is clearly visible in the Preview pane with a yellow paperclip, but I am unable to access this attachment in any way. I have AVG 8.5 installed as AV / Email Scanner (this program is known to work with other Vista 64-Bit OS'). IE8 was previsously installed, but after reading threads in this forum, I removed it and restarted the computer- but still have the same problem.
When I insert my SD card a message pops up saying can't open pictures. The file format is not supported or you do not have latest update. I checked and it says I have the latest update. Don't know what to do
I can get the right click drop down menu's 'View source' to always open a web page in MS Frontpage instead of Notepad? This is when I have a web page of a site I'm working with open on my screen in IE7. I use Windows Vista Home Premium. You could easily achieve this with WinXP using TweakUI but I don't know how to do it in Vista. Reason I want to do this is because the 'Edit with' button at taskbar at top of screen always greys out after any refresh of the page. Is there a registry tweak would let me fix this? Prefer not to have to install an entire tweaking program just for this one change.
I received zipped files via FTP. I extracted them and brought them to a C:folder. I have three choices: a CD, a Web or a LMS version. I cannot open any of the key HTML file in them. The choice is either player.html or index.html. I can view the source code but keep getting blocked. I tell Vista to allow blocked content. Nothing. I am the administrator. I started fooling with the Active X and Scripted security features since this is the warning I receive when trying to open the HTLM file. I enabled everything you aren't supposed to, received the dire warnings but still cannot access the content. I put everything back to default (because the dire warnings are scarey!) I am using Vista Home Premium. I am desperate to open any of these three files as I have a job using them next week.
how may I view an .aspx file (my clinic statement online) when it only is viewable in .aspx format? I use Vista Ultimate with the latest auto updates. I use IE7 for browser version 7.0.6000.16575, 256bit cipher, 32 bit OS. I've done searches on google and gotten nowhere. Any downloads I thought would help, do not seem to relate to my OS. One was Media Player update. I believe .aspx is an image file but not sure.

I'm working in InDesign. I prefer for all my windows to come up in Detail view. When I "Open a File," the window comes up in List view. I can change that specific window to Detail, and it will stay that way, but I can't figure out how to universally change all such windows to open in Detail. Anybody know?
One of the main concepts of Windows Vista is to make things more simple, basically take some of the complexity out of Windows.The decision was made to do away with the old menu bar in many of the windows of Windows Vista because they simply looked too busy and offered the user too many, often confusing, choices.
This all sounds great but we are power users and most of us like complexity because it gives us more control. Thankfully, Microsoft didn't really do away with it completely, they just hid it. The next time you are using Windows Vista and wish that old menu bar was still around, just hit ALT on your keyboard and it magically appear!
When I turned my computer on today it seems that all of my filenames have 'disappeared' - the files are still called the same that I named them, but instead of them showing the titles, they either show the date modified or only certain details. I mainly have music on my hard drive, and now the folder looks like this:
As you can see, on the left in the folder tree, the path is showing up, the files are still there etc, but instead of the track titles, there is now only the artist and album? I have tried shift and view, tried different views, tried changing the folder view to pictures and videos etc, I have also completely scanned the drives and there doesn't seem to be any problems? Under 'folder options' I have tried showing all extensions etc, showing hidden files, different customizing of views:...........
Whenever I request a "File|Open" or "File|Save" from any application, the mini-Windows-Explorer dialog box that opens freezes and hangs the entire application. Happens with almost all applications. Not limited to just Microsoft programs. It does not matter if I like change the download folder or if I rt click always the same.
Back when it was under warranty Hp tells me to just restore to original settings. I hate to do that. But I am about to see that this might be the only fix for it. (But I am hoping not.) I think it started a long time ago when I was changing the USB ports I used for my external Hard drive and it changed drive letter. (maybe maybe not.. just seems I remember that being something that had happened when I first recall things hanging...) anyway I have all drives in the place I want them now and this issue still happens even if I dont have that external drive plugged in.
I had to reinstall Vista on my computer. Previously I used Outlook. I can't find the activation code so I want to try Windows Mail. I saved my Outlook email pst file. Is there a way to get Windows Mail to open that file.
I just downloaded the trial version of winzip 11.2. This is the first time I made a compressed folder/file. It was easy to follow but a lot of steps involved. Is there and easier program that is free. If there is one easier and I have to pay for that is ok as well. What is some recommendations that any body might have.
The problem is my PC will start, brings up the scanning Microsoft bar thingy then goes blank.
I have tried a System Restore to various different dates - no joy.
I have run Startup Repair (numerous times!) and get the following:- Windows cannot repair this computer automatically

I have run the System Restore Function to the oldest stored point, before a HP update which is the only update that I can see on there.
It will start quite happily in safe mode, I did the msconfig thing and turned off all the bits in as per another thread and all the start up stuff but the problem was still there. I am now well and truly out of my comfort zone.
I moved in with a host family last week, and 5 minutes after getting the internet to work and beginning to Skype chat people (without video) my computer (Gateway laptop model MT3423 I think, Vista Premium, Dual Core AMD Turion, ~2 years old in good condition) froze and hasn't been the same since. Now, booting brings me to the recovery screen (of course - Normal Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, etc.), but no Safe Mode works - I can get to the login screen but after signing in the Welcome screen with the loading circle stays up indefinitely. Normal Mode works though, but it has major issues. After successfully signing in programs begin to load but it quickly slows down to a crawl, and takes about a minute to close the two program warning boxes that pop up (just the usual 'this program is unregistered' sort of thing). After this, Windows Calendar inexplicably loads, again painfully slow, and if the computer hasn't crashed by this point then it does shortly thereafter. And the crash varies - a few times it started with a "Server Busy - this action cannot be completed" error message but it usually says euphemistically "Microsoft Windows - this application is not responding."
I've tried several things but I haven't had any success. During this loading window, I've tried running msconfig and unchecking nonessential programs, but even after clicking Save Changes and Restart the changes are not saved, and it'll still proceed to crash and load the programs again next boot. I've tried loading the control panel, but it becomes unresponsive after I try to click anything in it. I tried opening accessories under the Start Menu and it bugged out, and instead of showing the folder icon it showed a searching icon and wouldn't open. The Command Prompt loaded but was too slow to execute anything. I also tried opening Task Manager, even through Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and after a few minutes it successfully loaded once but didn't show anything unusual and then crashed.
I have just installed Winzip 10 and there is no right click menu in explorer except for the usual Open/Send to etc, there is not "extract to here" Add to archive etc.
These are all selected in options/context menu commands.
Is there something in Vista 64 that is stopping it.
I was trying to open a .rar file, and found I need a new winzip, but I couldn't install it as something was wrong in it chest. I was told to do a remove in uninstall, but it's not listed, there was something else too, but I forgot, as my short term mem is AFU, please help if you Grok.
I've been using Windows mail for more than a year now, without a problem. I have multiple accounts which I use for my e-mail. Always when I have replied or forwarded an e-mail, the account name that it was received in has automatically been entered in the "from" window. That is, if the mail that I am forwarding was received by account 1 that is the name that would appear in the from box. Now all of a sudden it is entering my default account name, but not with all of my accounts, just one. This has led to problems for me with mailboxes not recognizing the name that the mail is being sent from. When it started happening I did not notice the mail going out from the wrong account, of course now I change it manually, but it's not the best solution, I'd like to get it back to the way it should be. I've looked through accounts and options, but have not been able to figure what has happened to cause this problem. I'm afraid that it's the dreaded computer gremlins again. This just started yesterday, and has caused me considerable grief if a very short time. If anyone can point me to a solution I would be very grateful.
Trying to open a Word file, get message "Windows can't find so-and-so file". Similarly, trying to open it programmatically in Excel VBA, I get the same message. But if I right-click and select "Open with" and pick Microsoft Windows, it works.
