Hi again, No, I get no option , only the error message thats in my earlier post asking me to go to the default program manager. How do I reinstall WLM? Is it much the same as Windows XP was where I go to acccessories and check off a box? I'm willing to try that. However I'm still trying to...

p.s. Just in case it makes a difference, there was no ".exe" in the Adobe folder, only "application"

Thanks, I wish it did "do it", but no, the error message is: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel">.............. back to square 1...

Yes, you would think that would do it, huh? So I took my time to download it again, after it didn't work the second time. After waiting for Adobe to bombard me with add ons it finally downloaded it , again. Same result. So I went to my 'default programs manager' . When I open Windows Live...

I tried to open a simple pdf file in Windows Live Mail but this super Windows 7 says there is no program associated to open it? It says to go the default programs section. So I did but even though I have Adobe Reader #10 installed it, of course, is not on the list of programs. Then, there is...

I need to install a font thats missing from W7, so I go to Google and get Microsofts answer. Go to Control Panel, click on appearance and open the Font section, then click on "File" and choose "Install a Font". However, as is typical to 40% of their instructions, its not there. There is no "...

I understand now, well explained. Thank you very much.

Thanks, I'm confident your sequence will work, but while I have you can you comment on why some files were protected and some files were not? They're all from the same pc and OS so I don't get it and wonder why? Is it because of their extensions or is it just a quirk of Seven? Regards, AlCatt

My XP crashed so I took my hard drive, put it in an enclosure and opened it with my new Windows 7 pc. My big snag is getting some Excel docs from my desktop from the XP into the 7 Hardrive. It will not do it. It keeps saying that I need administrator permission. I'm the only user of course. I...
