Author + Admin: Abhishek BhatnagarHi, I am a Software Engineer by profession and blogger by passion, I write about computer tips and tricks and solutions for computer problems. You can connect with me at twitter or know more about me on www.abhishekbhatnagar.com.
I came across your web site and have questions. I have vista but don’t have office on my pc. (Its in the box but haven’t installed it yet!) I often have this problem in not being able to open some files/emails that people send me.
I recently scanned something into my pc; under scans it says
“scans002.jpg.org” when I clidk on it, it has that same window that comes up a lot of the time when someone sends me something and I can’t open it,
:To open this file, windoes wants to know what kind of program you want to use. Windows can go on line and look for it automatically, or you can manually select it from a list of programs that are installed on your pc (?) What do you want to do?
1. Use the we
2. Select a program
How do I know what progam to ope it with? If I make a mistake, what do I do then?
What is the easiest way to open a file/email that was written with a program I don’t have (I have word, but think I receive this written in works?)
Many thanks for you help. Please email back if you have the time.
PS, I never got a disk with my XP pc, and my Vista pc. My xp recently crashed. Is there a disk that I can get that will help me boot up my xp; and is there a vista disk in case this one has something happen to it? I have the restore on the hard drive, but read somewhere that if I got a virus, that that would not do me any good (Is that true?)
Joy to you,
