Unable to open .docx,.doc word file in MS OFFICE 2007."the file "file name" is not available.

I just solved it the same way myself by uninstalling AVG. I had read elsewhere that Norton was blocking it for some people, and I don't use it, but I figured it might be the antivirus anyway. So I uninstalled and reinstalled AVG and now I have no problems. When I reinstalled, I did make sure not to install the Office plug-in, or toolbar, or whatever it is. I don't know if that part of it helped, but I'm not taking any chances.

Here's How to Install Android M Developer Preview 3

First, create a backup of your data because installing the developer preview will wipe your entire device.

To create a backup, head on to Settings –> Backup & Reset –> Backup my data. Before you tick Back up my data, make sure you have already set up the backup account.

Step 1: On a Windows PC, Download and install the ADB Tools and Fastboot.

Step 2: Download the appropriate Android M installer for your respective device: Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9, Nexus Player, which you'll find on the Android Developer's site.

Step 3: Turn off your Nexus device, and then restart it to the bootloader by pressing and holding power and volume down buttons.

Step 4: Connect your Nexus device to your PC; head on to the ADB Tools folder; and open flash-all.bat file.

Step 5: Once the process is completed, your Nexus device will be rebooted and started running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow preview.

Now, for restoring your backup and settings, head on to Settings –> Backup & reset –> Automatic Restore.

If you don't like Android M, you can uninstall it and revert to your previous Android operating system by simply removing the files from Minimal ADB and Fastboot, then downloading the appropriate system image and repeat the instructions above.

Android Lollipop How to do a factory reset - Delete all data

It makes sense after updating to the firmware Android Lollipop to perform aso-called factory reset. The factory reset will erase all data on your smartphone and install the operating system, in this case Android Lollipop, completely new. Thus, all the old and unnecessary system files from the previous operating system are completely deleted, which means that any errors can be corrected.
If you do not know how to perform a factory reset on Android lollipop, then we want to give you some step-by-step instructions here.

Before you perform the factory reset on your Android Lollipop smartphone, back up all important data, such as images, text, messages, music, etc. as these are completely deleted by the factory reset operation. Most smartphone Manufacturers supply a backup software for this procedure. Samsung, for example, provides the program "Samsung Kies" to create backups.
After you have performed the backup the factory reset on Android Lollipop can be started as follows:

Open from the home screen of your Android Lollipop smartphone the menu and then the settings. Search for the section "user and backup" and then tap on "Backup and Reset". You will proceed to the next submenu. You can now see the following button: "Factory data reset"

After you tap the button, a wizard starts that guides you through the process of returning to the factory settings in Android Lollipop. Tap in the next screen, "Reset Device" and follow the instructions on the display. The smart phone will restart after the factory reset and all new Android Lollipop files will be installed. Then you will have a freshly installed Android Lollipop system, which should not cause any further problems.

Have fun with Android Lollipop!

How do I factory reset after the Lollipop update on my Android One device?

Reset your Android One to factory settings:-

You can remove all data from your Android One device by resetting it to factory settings, or doing a "force reset." You can do so by either using the Settings menu to erase all your data or by using the Recovery menu.
Important: By performing a factory data reset, all data — like your apps, photos, and music — will be wiped from the device. Any data stored in your Google Account will be restored when you sign in, but all apps and their data will be deleted and cannot be restored.

Option 1: Erase data using the Settings menu
To perform a factory data reset using the Settings menu, follow these steps:
Before you reset your Android One, see options for backing up your data.
On your mobile device, open the Settings menu

.
Under "Personal," touch Backup & reset. You may need to enter your pattern, PIN, or password.
Under "Personal data," touch Factory data reset.
Read the information on the screen and touch Reset phone.
If you have a screen lock, you'll need to enter your pattern, PIN, or password.
When prompted, touch Erase everything to erase all data from your device's internal storage.
When your device has finished erasing, select the option to reboot your device.
You'll see the Welcome screen just as you did when you turned the device on for the first time. When you're done with the setup process, follow these steps to restore your data.
Option 2: Reset device in Recovery mode Before you begin
If your device is running Android 5.1 or higher, your device is protected to prevent other people from using it if it's been reset to factory settings. To ensure that it's really you doing the reset, you'll need to enter a Google username and password associated with the device after factory reset. If you don't have this information, you won't be able to finish the setup process and use the device at all after factory reset.
You'll also need to:
Wait 72 hours if you recently reset your Google account password
Make sure you have an Internet connection
Back up your data to your Google Account and be ready to restore
To do a factory data reset, follow these steps:
If your phone is on, turn it off.
Press and hold the Volume up button and the Power button at the same time until the device turns on.
Press the Volume down button to select "Recovery mode." If you need to navigate to the "Recovery mode" option, use theVolume up button to move the arrow and the Volume down button to select it.
You’ll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark and the words "No command."
While holding down the Power button, press the Volume up button and release it.
Use the volume buttons to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power button to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press the Power button to select it.
Your Android One device will erase all of your data and restart with its factory settings. You'll see the Welcome screen just as you did when you turned the device on for the first time. When you're done with the setup process, follow these steps torestore your data.
Note: If your phone becomes unresponsive at any point during these steps, you can restart it by holding down the Power button for several seconds. If that doesn’t work, try taking the battery out and putting it back in and starting the steps again.

Hope this helps!

How To Remove Modern Shortcut Virus in 10 Seconds

Computer Virus infection is only removed through antivirus programs as you know, but this time we are talking about Shortcut Virus which is a new modern virus automatically comes in your computer/USB/SD card and convert your content into a shortcut. Some time this virus also invisible your all contents. The first thing I really got mad for the Shortcut virus problem is not removable by anti-virus programs. When you Scan your Shortcut virus infected storage with anti-virus program they give “No threat detected” which was really confusing and  who didn’t know how to remove this virus, they just format the infected storage, So if you’re helplessness to format your storage then please don’t do this gain, because it is not a solution but if your storage not contain anything important then you should format your secondary storage device not computer storage because formatting also a another method to flush out shortcut virus.
The cause of this virus is internet, third party software’s, USB storage devices and more sources also. Sometime you connect your pen drive to your friend’s computer for exchanging data and you didn’t know is your friend’s computer is already infected by shortcut virus, So when you connect those pendrive to your computer it automatically infect your computer also.

Remove Shortcut Virus From Pen Drive & SD Card

There are 2 methods you can use to remove this virus: using CMD or Software Tool. Before beginning I highly recommend you to First Scan storage with your antivirus and then go for below method. If your pen drive is bootable then it may change to normal.

Method 1 > Using command prompt

Open Command prompt as Administrator (Windows 7 or earlier: Windows key + R > Type CMD & ENTER, Windows 8: Search for “CMD” > Right click to CMD and Select “Run as Administrator” or right click over Start button and select “command prompt (Admin) “)
cmd-admin-vt
Connect Your USB storage (Pendrive/SD card) to your Computer.
Scan your storage with your antivirus program (Not compulsory but its effective) > If your antivirus found virus then delete it.
Type in Command prompt :  attrib -h -r -s /s /d <Your USB drive letter>:\*.* (See <Your USB drive letter> from My computer and then type it For ex, if your drive letter is “D” then the command is like: ” attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.* “)
To know about this command Type ” attrib /? ” In CMD.
cmd-attrib-cmd
Now your Shortcut files again convert to normal files. Delete unknown files from your storage after command process completes. I highly recommend you to after removing shortcut virus copy your USB data to your computer > Format the USB storage > Then again re-copy USB data back.

Method 2 > Using Software

There are multiple software found in web for fixing this problem so i use USB Fix for this tutorial because it works great and freeware.
Download USB fix and install (If your antivirus showing virus in this software then please disable it for a few minutes)
Close all the programs from taskbar, you are running, because when it start it auto close your all programs and you may lose your data.
Connect all of your external storages to computer > Choose clean

It automatically cleans your shortcut virus problems from all USB storages and don’t forget to restart your computer after using this tool because it make changes in windows directory and until you restart your computer, your computer will not work properly.

Flush out from your Computer Hard disk

Removing this virus from your computer feels a little harder than USB, because USB is a small storage, but your computer hard disk is a large storage that you cannot revert changes like a CTRL+Z. The first time when I found this virus in my laptop, I re-install my windows, but after when I found tools for this problem I start using only tools, because re-installing windows waste your lots of time and shortcut virus is not a very big deal as you think.

Fix shortcuts already created on your drive

If your computer files have already converted into shortcut then you should try command prompt same as above method
> Type: attrib -h -r -s /s /d <Your drive letter>: \*.* (For ex. if your drive is C: then the command is “attrib -h -r -s /s /d C:\*.* “)
OR
Use this software: Shortcut Virus Remover
Actually the shortcut virus is running in the task manager process > You may kill that process and your computer doesn’t create again shortcut in real time.
Open task manager > Select process (More detail) > Scroll down below and search “wscript.vbs” process > Select them and end task
Use one of these software’s to remove Wscript from your computer:
