Open .dbf Files With The Format
Jan 3, 2009
I had a file with .dbf extension (it was a .dbf III file ) and I right clicked it in order to open it with Excel. The thingis that I forgot to uncheck the option on the bottom that says "always open the specific file with this format" and now every .dbf III file that I have opens with Excel as a default and I don't want this. I tried to right click it and uncheck the specific box this time but still nothing... it still has the Excel option as a default.
How can I reverse this? I want to be able to choose the .dbf file with the format that I want to! In other words I want the .dbf III file to be white again instead of having the icon of Excel on it.

Since migrating to Windows Mail a year ago on a new PC running Vista, I've been unable to open, or to save and open, email attachments received in .pdf or .jpg format. When I try to open .pdf attachments, I get an error message reading, "This
file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel." If I save a .pdf attachment in Adobe Reader and then try to open it, I get a message saying, "Adobe Reader could not open [file] because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I run Adobe Reader 8. Where do I look to find a solution to this problem? Is it related to the similar problem with JPEG's?

As the subject says. I've got 2 desktops running Ultimate 64 and for the life of me I can't format or copy files to them at all. I've scoured the net for a solution and tried a few but nothing has worked. I now have a laptop with Home Premium 32bit and it works just fine! Both of the desktops have HP DVD burners that support the CD-RW format but they will not work. I've also tried DVDs and they will also not work. Anyone else run into this problem, and more importantly, found a solution?

I have encountered a very strange problem. I have downloaded two exe files recently. When I doubleclick on the exe file, instead of the application installing, what should happen but Word of all things opens with, in the case of one of them a box headed 'File Conversion - arw5setup.msi', and a similar wording in the second, asking me to select the encoding that makes my document readable. Whatever I select, the exe file then opens as a text file.
(The reference to an msi file is baffling as both files were exe files.) When it happened the first time I thought it was a corrupt file, but when it happened again it has to be that there is something wrong with my system. Is this a virus? Spybot has just come up with a clean slate ...

1. I have Vista Home Premium and Internet Explorer v 8. I never set anything about users or administrators since I am the only one using this computer.
2. I have many old graphics tutorials in HTM format which I downloaded some years ago when I was using Windows 98. They opened in Windows 98.
3. I can't open them with Vista. If I use FILE > OPEN in Internet Explorer, I get the HTML code. If I double click on the file in Windows Explorer, I get a message saying that Windows Internet Explorer is not responding.
4. I have a similar problem with HTM files which I have recently downloaded from the internet news groups. Are there some settings or updates to correct this problem.

I ordered some files and they came in rar and zip format. I know nothing about them. I downloaded winrar to read them. I guess I'm not using it right or something. All I get is codes and stuff. I need to open these files so that I can read them in plain english. I want to use these files on my web-site.

I have a friend running Vista who says he cannot open .TIF files. I am not sure if he is running the Business edition, but could someone tell me what utility that ships with Vista could be used to view the files? I know in XP you could even use Paint, but I don't know what utilities come with Vista. If there is such a utility, is it in both the Vista Home and Business editions? This situation has been discovered recently, and I don't know if it has ever worked, just in case SP1 might be involved. I don't even know if he has that update.

I cannot open any programs or .exe files on my computer without a box appearing stating that WINDOWS CANNOT OPEN THIS FILE. To open this file windows needs to know what programs you want to use to open it etc etc It then gives me 2 options either to USE the web service to find what will open it
or
select a program from a list of installed programs. This puzzles me because the programs im trying to open like SKYPE are in themselves the programs that open by themselves. What can i do to fix this?

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Edition and IE7. For the past year I have never had any problem saving a web page thru IE& for off line reading,. The file was always saved as a 93Web Archive, Single file (*.mht).94 I must have done something wrong in playing around with my computer because I now cannot open any mht files that I save. This has been happening for the past week. When I click on the file to open it a dialog box pops up stating 93This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Association control panel. I tried this but I guess I 92m too slow in my thinking cause I still cant get it to work. I 92ve read the help files to know avail. Does anyone know what program opens these .mht files?

There is a tool in Vista systemtools "Windows filetransfer" it say it can transfer accounts also. what folder should I transfer to my laptop, I know I have to transfer my documents and setting on my own account, but do I need the admin account and I have one more guest account I don't need that. Do I need to transfer the Windows folder? Is there anyother way to get hand of this admin locked files, any software I can use directly so I don't need to transfer?

Recently I have had three files turn sour on me for no visible reason (corrupt). One of them is a very imporant bit of course work. Im running office 2007 and 32bit vista home. I have been storing the files on a USB stick I thing there may be someing wrong with the usb stick I have now changed it but this dose not solve my problem of the lost files.
I have tried downloading various recovery programs none of which have worked. I have also downloaded open office and that will not open the files either. I don't know where to go from here. If someone can send me back the "energy survey" in working order im willing to send them £5 via PayPal. Only 2 the first person.

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!

Every time I use Internet Explorer OR Firefox and go to a website, another page will open up as well. It can be something touting car insurance, life insurance...you get my drift...someone trying to sell something. I haven't opened up any executible files recently, I don't even use this computer that often, it is my laptop and I usually use my desktop. It is a Gateway, running Premium SP1. I have Mcafee Security suite, spybot,(just added AFTER problem) and Windows Defender. I was wondering if this is a case of hijacking? I downloaded *Hijack this* and this is the logfile, although it might as well be written in martian to me...I don't understand a thing!

Since installing AVG 9 I have a few problems, one which is now known to AVG that attachements cannot be sent in the likes of Yahoo and Sky Mail, this has gone to the developers.
This one may not be AV related so thought I would ask here.
I have been unzipping files in Vista with no problem, after the download of AVG 9 I am unable to open them.
When I right click on the file I do not get Extract all in the list.
I do not know which is the program that opens zip files within Vista and so I am unable to tell it which program to Open with.

I'm trying to use a 4G USB storage for transferring files from an XP platform to a Vista platform. I'm finding something very funny. I copy the files to the storage (and I can see and open them on the XP machine). Than I put the USB storage on the Vista machine. I can see again the files but I cannot open them (the files seem to be corrupted). Finally I put the USB storage on the XP and I see that the files are corrupted. It looks like Vista has corrupted my files. I'm using the same USB storage for transferring files between XP machines without any problem.
