    "Open with" context menu not enabled or dimmed


    I can not access the "open with" menu..it's dimmed or not enabled in all the files..
    even though i can open the files with any application if i tried the menu at the top in the ribbon

    i have tried removing it from the registry and add it back again but that didn't fix it

    does anyone know the reason for that? or how to fix it?

    :)

    N79; can't run " home media " menu

    sawatdee krap,

    maybe because you havent set any connections for "home media". i think it needs to connect with your computer. you also need to install SimpleCenter's Home Media Server software on your PC

    maybe this will help you -

    N79; can't run " home media " menu

    I'm in Thailand . I just buy N79 , but I have found my phone can run " home media " menu. When I go to " home media " menu it's push back to "connectivity" menu .

    When I go to Nokia Care center . They said All N79 was bug as this. Wait to upgrade firmware as now it's already new as 10.046

    Please share information with me

    yes, for the text document the option is still greyed out
    and the links you supplied are targeted to another problem..they assume i was able to open the "open with" dialog which i still can't

    Ok, sorry-
    there don't seem to be too many result on this - this is old, but detailed:

    "Open With - Not Working or Listed"

    However I very much doubt there's a real pointer to a solution for you there.

    Otherwise, do you have any useful restore points or disk images?

    Do you have any idea what happened that might have led to this?

    Has it been working since you installed Win 10?
