"*:\ Application not found' (no drive letter of the external device, double-click the drive letter, App not found message...)

Windows 7 64, noticed this morning after the insertion of a USB key, I double click on the drive icon and a popup with the message in the title appeared. I checked the USB, works very well in the other 3 machines without worries. Digging on the net I found a few options...

The method to remove the autorun.inf to the reader; has not changed.
Tried to change the drive F:\ BOF to H:\ letter; Seemed work, however all new default device is "F:\. "and had the same problem. At this point it seemed to me it was just the F:\ player for some reason, then dug around the registry, checked the controlpolicy for drive letters, nothing suspicious here. Next...
Tried to do a 8MB partition, formatted to 'F:\. "(The letter apparently problematic) and hide with the"NoDrives"Reg entry (so new devices would be default G:\); Does not work either.
Looked in the AutoPlay options; no difference. I am now about to throw the laptop someone else out the window...
If I right click on the drive (no matter what I changed to in diskmgmt.msc) I can click on 'Open' and see the content... ARGH! Why not double clicking?
The first entry in the context menu of the player is "install or run program from your media"... What is c? Why won't it just open the double click like all other Windows machines I've ever used, ever...
Seriously, I'm about to cross my arms, get in a huff right and throw my toys like many on the pram as humanly possible, what is happening on Earth? I've never had this before and I can't get this sort for love nor money, the lady that has laptop is should not have to "work to spare; to simply open a USB? Is she feeling. The machine works absolutely well outside the conclusion that no external USB is available as usual? I can't face to reformat for her, in addition there are 3 programs again there is no reason for this madness, Google Chrome, Microsoft Office, and Dropbox... Oh and I.S. Commodo...
Please help, I'll lose my mind on this one... That has never solved this for me I will not mention my next child after you, seriously... Thank you

Ok...

I found that the Expert 'IT' (the laptop owners friends 17 years, son... Yes, if we all had a dollar for every time that it caused headaches...) had removed a lot of pre-installed software (Asus K53E) installed "Windows 7 Manager", ran different settings and seems to have stopped many services. He said that he had used black service guide also vipers, and once he had done all the hacks and tweaks and customizations, it took the W7M once it has completed leaving a few programs that are on the machine, so it was 'lightning fast'... * face palm *.
It has Intel i3-2310 and 4 GB of Ram, the owner which accounts, the company uses only Word, Excel, box deposit and LogMeIn for remote use of its PC works...
so... I assume that this would explain why these methods don't work, than to go on what you advised, I had already checked all except the patch, the problem still persists.
I should have checked the services during my first puzzle of really, but got it works by ensuring that all USB services are back to original settings. (Now you tell me what is the fix?)
I think for most people with the question of the title, as usual you bugs recommended would get people upward and running or issuance autorun.ini I've seen mentioned, unless someone has already gone to town on the removal of any service that they don't like not the look of...
I went on the lappy and made my own service, and tests to make sure that everything is fine and put an image of the system on its servers of the company, so I can remotely wipe/restore his cell phone... Never tell no computer people you know about computers... Never...
However, regardless, I'll still name my next child, Arya, because is a beautiful name! Thanks again for your time and help!
TL/DR: It seems that in this case, it was down to services being stopped by the guru of the 'IT', and my following childs name is Arya. Happy days.

  • D drive not working do not. Bed "Application not found".

    I had to get a new hard drive a few months ago and this is the first time using my D drive since.  When a disc is inserted, it looks like he's trying to read the disc, but then nothing happens.  When I try to open it manually, it says "Application not found".  I recently got a new printer and try to install the equipment for this and am unable.  I tried to change the drive letter, Microsoft troubleshooting Services automated: your CD or DVD cannot read or write media.  No change and still does not.  I need help please!

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and you need to do for the reader of CD and the printer - drivers, firmware and software - and all the others that you have time to do-, they help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  Make sure the devices are attached and in the course of running when you install the drivers and firmware and software - is available but certainly the drivers.  After the drivers, you can install the firmware and software.

    How did you install Vista on your new drive hard if you do not use the CD player?  So it must have worked at a given time.  I think that it will solve the problem to update the drivers on it (they probably got changed for bad ones during the re-Setup).

    As far as the printer will, once you've done the above, use the Add Printer Wizard and it should take you thrugh the process without problem.  If you have any problems, post the EXACT error messages and where the process failed it.  Then, we will try to remedy this situation separately, but for nowlet concentrates for the functional CD.

    I have hopethis help.

    Good luck!

  • When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

    Original title: rundll.exe error

    I checked the previous messages and can't seem to find a solution to this problem.  Recently I ran 3 different scans, i.e. sbybot, avast and Malawarebytes virus. After that I ran these anti-virus programs and remove viruses, I was not able to open any more virus scanners. Every time I tried, would open a window saying "Choose the program you want to use to open this file." If I try to download a new virus scanner, it says the same thing.

    When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found. I checked this file on my c: drive\system 32 and see the rundll.exe file. I also copy and pasted the file rundll.exe my CD of Windows XP in c: Windows\System32

    Everything else seems to work fine on my computer, and I get no message on the rundll.exe file when the computer starts up first.

  • Application not found error-choose the program you want to use to open this file

    Soon all the world.

    I really hope that someone will post a reply to my question as soon as possible. I will try to be as descriptive as I could possibly, in order to solve my problems.

    The main problem is that I can't open some, if all the program files, applications on my windows 7, 32-bit laptop. I'm constantnly get application not found error, showing in a small window address, I was trying to do. Whenever I want to open a program, like the Adobe reader, word of microsoft, excel, mozilla firefox, google chrome - basically everthing, a window opens and is telling me this: choose the program you want to use to open this file: file: acad.exe... and recommend me acrobat from adobe program, any program I was trying to enter (in this case autoCAD).

    Cannot open cmd, when I go to system recovery, it says: System Restore could not start. I normally post records in: C and: D sheet music, play music, watch videos and see photos. I found a "hole" not being able to go to the internet via a browser. I discovered it when I went to an online help in some of the trobleshoots. It would open tab in google chrome by itself and then on it, I can browse the internet normally, but only through the said track.

    Currently, the microsoft security essentials performs a custom analysis (: C and: D), because I suspect it is a malware, or some kind of virus. It happened when I tried to download a program from CAD Solidworks 2012 via a site that I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention, that I don't want. Unless it's okay with you :) It begins with a letter t. By the way, I noticed that my: partition D has accumulated 10 GB + more in the space of a few days, because I remember two weeks ago I had close to 70 GB of free space, now it's about 56.3 GB. Curious, because I know that I did nothing so great in this period. Maybe I need to tell you that I get this window, from time to time, when I browse the internet (I never visit suspicious sites, or at least I don't me remember more I visited one in a very long time, like 4-5 months):

    Original title: Windows 7 - Application not found. A big problem or easy-peasy?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    1. What is the complete error message you get when opening a file?
    2. What happens when you try to open the command prompt?
    3. What happens when you try to access the internet by using Internet Explorer?
    4. You did changes to the computer before the show?

    According to the description of problem errors you get "application not found error" and "choose the program you want to use to open this file" and not being is not able to do system restore, it seems that some windows file is corrupted. I also suggest you to post back the results of analysis.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if this is useful:

    Method 1:  Run SFC scan and check for corrupted Windows files and violations of integrity.

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 2:

    For any question, where his prompting you to select the default program
    Try to set the default values for the program
    Change the programs that Windows uses by default

    For any question, where you are not able to download and install firefox, download the file and save it and then try to install firefox.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know the results. Feel free to write us again for any help.
