All icons changed to and will Outlook open, error message "command line argument is not valid."
I have been using Windows 7 and Office 2010 since the beginning of this year. Suddenly, I have a problem.
All my software program icons (shortcuts and start menu) moved somehow to be the Outlook icon. When you try to open Outlook and any other program, I get the message "cannot start Microsoft Outlook. The command line argument is not valid. Check the switch you are using. »
None of the software opens. This is true for Microsoft products and software from other companies. The only way I can open/use some of my software is to go to the file and open it from there. How can I solve this problem?
I tried to use my Office CD to repair the software, but nothing has changed. I tried to go into the properties of the icon to see if the problem can be corrected for other software but the links are to the correct files and the icon will not change. Nothing I've tried works. Even in Control Panel administrative tools are not open (they have also been changed to have the Outlook icon).
. I need help as soon as POSSIBLE. THX
Only, I've solved my problems with this re - create my profile.
To re - create your user profile name just as a different user and ensure that the user have a good administrator.
Go to my computer > users (Windows 7) or Document and settings (Win XP) > find the profile that have a questions and rename (* do not delete because we need a return to the top if there is all data must be transferred to a new profile)
Another thing need to do is to change the registry by go to start and type regedit (make sure administrator too)
Go down this path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileLIST\ * only Applicable for Windows 7
Oncve you see all the list such as S-1-5-18... something like this a check which is the profile who have questions and delete.
The profile with a questions can be seen on you under ProfileImagePath: C:\Users\
In fact, you can try to reconnect and it will be relaxing a new profile just transfer back up the old data of the profile that was rename in the new profile that has been re - create. Hope this helps, if so please mark this answer. Thank you

I recently bought a new computer (eMachine ET1831-05) with Windows 7 installed at the factory. I installed Outlook 2002. My old computer died & I have been unable to export my calendar, contacts, etc., so I'll have to enter everything manually in my new.
When I save a calendar appointment is periodic (for example a birthday) I'm unable to open the appointment. When I try, I get a message - cannot open this item. The object is not valid. If I set an appointment that recurs not , everything works fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I am trying to open samsung pc studio and it givesme an error message and windows then told me my flash drive is not compatible with my system... this after I downloaded the flash player im told is compatible with my system
In general, when the desktop software uses Flash Player, it's because they're incorporating an Internet Explorer window in the application. If you do not have Flash Player for Internet Explorer (aka. the ActiveX Flash Player) installed, then the desktop app is not going to work.
Then, launch Internet Explorer
Go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Follow the prompts and then relaunch the application after you have completed the installation in Internet Explorer. I hope this sorts for you.
