File Without Extension - Several Programs In Attempt To Identify File

Apr 24, 2008

I have a file without an extension that I need to a) Identify, and b) Recover/Open. It is 559 MB (586,412,032 bytes), and is suppose to be a backup of emails from Windows XP (Outlook Express) that was created by a friend of mine, although he has since forgotten how he created it. It did have a file extension at first, though I tried changing it to several others while trying to open it, and through the process, the original file extension has been lost. Since then, I have just deleted the file name altogether. I have tried several programs in an attempt to identify the file, though none of them worked. The programs I have tried are File Analyzer, TrIDNet, DaubNET: Identify! None of them could identify the file. All of my emails and contacts are in this file, and I really need them.

File With SQM Extension

Mar 28, 2006

I just discovered 20 of these files in the C: root directory in one of my computers and have never seen them there before. This is what the file name looks like:I did a Google search on it and it appears to have something to do with MSN Messenger 8.0. If that's the case, I did install the 8.0 beta version about a week ago - which originally worked, but no longer does. I haven't uninstalled it yet.

Program For File Extension

Aug 23, 2005

I supposed to be able to open a lot of files with different extensions stored in a folder. My documents Chess Base.Windows can't open them at this time and no relevant answer could be found at http://filext.com. Impossible to make an appropriate choice from an open program list. Do separate programs have to be needed for each file extension? How to fix this problem ? Should the manufacturer of the product "Echecs Deluxe powered by Fritz" finally be contacted?

PF File Extension Changed.

Apr 15, 2008

About two day's ago I looked in the PF folder in my machine and as usual the PF's were .txt (except the Layout.ini, of course). But just now I happened to take a look at them and noticed that they have all changed to .pdf in some way. e.g. if I recall correctly an AVG Free file would be [something like] AVG75Free.txt but now it is AVG75FREE_516A1262.EXE-225B0AE9.pf and when I attempt to open it I get an error saying:Adobe Reader cannot open AVG75FREE_516A1262.EXE-225B0AE9.pf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example if was sent as an email attachment and hasn't correctly decoded).My default pdf reader is Foxit. And the proficiency with which files/programs are opened does not seem to have been retarded.I don't recall doing anything that I believe may have caused this. And the only thing I have downloaded since last looking in the PF folder is TweakUI. Could the cause simply be a matter of non-intelligent design?

System backups are of no help as I apparently deleted any such when I cleaned house yesterday. The closest I have come to fixing the problem is to change the file type in Folder Options to Text Document using the TXT file extension which places the Notepad icon on the PF files (even after restart) instead of the usual [plain] text doc icon. But the PF files are now otherwise building and opening properly. Is having the Notepad icon on the PF files a problem? Complete AVGFree a/s and AVGFree a/v scans with current updates indicate no problems. I am using XP Home SP2 with all critical updates.

CHKDSK Changes File Extension

So chkdsk ran on my camera's memory card and now all my .JPG pictures now have .CHK as the file extension. If I manually change .CHK back to .JPG, my pictures are back to normal. The problem is is that I now have about 1,200 .CHK files to change back to .JPG. Is there a program that will mass edit file extensions for me?

Files With Extension Of Jpg Cant Be Saved Untill Type Extension

Jun 17, 2005

For some odd reason now, everything on my desktop, and inside of my folders, pictures with the extension of JPG and so forth are not able to be saved unless i type in the extension also. I have no clue what could have triggered such an error, and I have no clue how to fix it. If I go and try to rename a file in my Pictures folder, for example, I can't rename it unless i type it as...."image.jpg"....I can't just save it as plain old, "image" - what the heck is going on? Does anyone know what happened or how to fix this?

I finished downloading a Windows automatic update. Before the update, I had no errors (use Norton), but now I have an unfixable "missing or invalid file extension" error .wll. The program it relates to is Word.Addin.8, whatever that is. I wouldn't even care, but I was getting this message for awhile before my computer crashed last November. Google mentions something about "memory leaks" in Word. I'm clueless.

File Without File Extension

Mar 10, 2007

I recently received an email from someone who told me they sent an excel file. I normally recieve excel files weekly from this person, l so I have no reason to belive it was not.When I tried to download it ("save as", not "open"), the file name was "CAD2359." and did not have a file extension. I changed the name to "new users", added an xls after the "dot" and the file downloaded, then I opened the Excel file normally.Later, I saw in the folder there were two files. One called "new users.xls" which is functioning correctly, and another called "new users." with no file extension (or recognizable icon).If I try to open that file, I get the "Open with" box, asking me to choose the program I wan to open it with.If I try to change the name of the file, I get an error message "Can not rename file. Can not read from source file or disk".If I try to delete the file, I get an error message "Can not delete file. Can not read from source file or disk".

.LNK-extension/EXE Not Working

Sep 18, 2005

I have read past posts about the problem with the LNK-extension, but I haven't found a solution that solves my problem. I haven't poked around the registry a lot before, so I need a nudge in the right direction.
First off, I run Win XP, I don't have servicepack 2, I use Norton Antivirus and Internet Security, and Ad-Aware/Ad-Watch monitors everything going on.This brings us to my problem; suddenly all the exe-icons on my desktop and start-menu all have the extension .lnk (.LNK)

Possible Dll Extension Corruption?

Nov 20, 2007

I was doing a little bit of work on a friend of mine's computer recently. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it. When you turn on the power, the motherboard does it's loading screen and then i have the option of the BIOS and everything. You all know how that works. Then, the whole thing resets.I've tried reinstalling Windows XP. That worked for a little while. Now it is doing this again. I thought that a possible fix might possibly be a boot disk. So, I changed the boot order on his computer and put in an XP boot disk. It is still going through this only to reset itself again and again. I have even left it alone to see if it would just finally get tired of it and load the OS, but it continues for hours.I deal mostly with hardware, so I'm kind of at a loss.

X64 Edition Trial Extension?

Jul 12, 2006

I have had Windows XP 64 bit trial edition for some time now, and yes long enough to expire the 120 day trial of use. I have enjoyed the much faster OS, and have grown to have many files, of many variety and size, and DO NOT WANT TO LOSE EVERYTHING by reinstalling windows.I was wondering if anybody, had any suggestions as to how I could extend the trial or reuse the trial while retaining all of my precious information? Are there any loop holes? Should I get a free linux distribution? Should I buy some whiskey and a gun? What would you reccommend? (PS- Currently I can only have my computer on for 2 hours, after 1 hour of usage, a window pops up saying 'your windows has expired, you have 16 days left to restore access to this installation of Windows, your computer will restart in 1 hour. In addition I really dont want to shell out money if possible in anyway!)
