View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been having lots of problems with Outlook 2007 "not responding." I've been advised to open it in safe mode, but with vista there's no "Run" option on the start menu and I can't figure out how to start in safe mode without that. This is probably a simple thing, but I'm stumped.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a problem within Outlook 2007 when ever I try and search through my emails. Whenever I perform a search of any of my mail folders, I get no results and a message saying 'Search results may be incomplete because items are still being indexed. Click here for more details'. When I click for more details, I receive a message saying 'Outlook is currently indexing your items'. And telling me that 7695 items are reminaing in personal folders, and 17987 items are remaining across all open mailboxes. The problem is that this number never goes down, and has been like this ever since I started using the program. Could it be that the indexing is stuck
somehow?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat is the easiest way to change all of my (thousands of) MS Office 97-2003 .doc files to .docx format? When I first bought my HP dv5t laptop a year ago, I also had an older desktop that didn't have Word 2007 on it --- it still had Word 2003, so in order to work back and forth, I saved everything in 97-2003, so I could do that. Now, I'm not using the older desktop anymore, and I can't think of any reason not to save in 2007 .docx format. So, is there some PAINLESS way to convert all of my older 97-2003 .doc files to docx files? I have many thousands of files, so I can't do it individually -- is there some way to do it globally?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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 ...

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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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.
