As Device Manager and RUN programs are open with a notebook!

Programs such as Device Manager, system configuration and RUN, for example, are open with a Notepad in which a lot of things ununderstanable are written with the exception of this sentence: this program cannot be run in DOS mode.
I hope you can help me know what the problem
I've had this a couple of days, when I updated my windows, but I don't know if it was the cause.

Hi Naj,

Thank you for your message.

If you use the "Run" box/command and executable files (anything with .exe extension) are to open with Notepad, or you have a virus or the executable file (.exe) are associated with Notepad.

Here's an article that explains a part of the process:

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    I wasn't at the root droid to my husband, to see if the installation of the driver, have been, to my horror, saw NO Device Manager, just MMC cannot create a snap.

    I think I'll probably have to do a clean re install to get this and a few other problems I've seen lately. Any suggestions?

    Hi beckyandac

     

    1. what other issues do face you?
    2. for how long have you been faced with this problem?
    3. did you of recent changes on the computer?
    4. do you get error messages when you try to open Device Manager?

     

    Method 1:

    Try opening the Device Manager by following the steps mentioned.
    Click the Start button, then click on control panel - system and Maintenance, then select Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    sfc/scannow
    A message appears indicating that "the system scan will start. Be patient because the scan can take some time.
    c. If all files require a SFC replace will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Win7 DVD for this process to continue.
    d. If everything is correct you should, after the scan, see the following message "resource protection Windows not found any breach of integrity".
    e. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    See the link for further directions on scan SFC - below
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

     

    Method 3:
    If the problem persists, you can check if you are facing the same question in the user account new or different administrator account.  You can create a new user account on your computer, and then check.

    Create a new user account-

  • Blue indicator of Win 7 circle network ALSO hang Device Manager and MSE does not

    I have a strange problem since the recent windows updates.

    Indicator of network in the bar tasks displays a blue circle for about 20 minutes after I start the computer. During this time I can't run regedit, I can't open the Device Manager, and I can't seem to activate the protection in real time to Microsoft Security databases. However all the time I have internet and network access.
    After about 20 minutes the light will come back normal (sometimes it goes through a Red Cross first), date at which the computer then runs everything normally, if I have my phone on, I get the auto run screen, Device Manager works and I can also start MSE.
    It's as if the computer is waiting for something to happen. Device problem? However, all devices appear to work normally.
    The latest updates, I made were optional for monitor HP and Microsoft mouse and a keyboard, both of which work well in the era of 'blue circle '.
    I also tried updating the adapter software.
    It is not important, but it's annoying!

    Hi Carmen,.

    The blue circle on the network icon indicates that the system is looking for a network connection.

    If it appears at the start, then start the modem and the router before you start the computer.

    Method 1:

    Using the troubleshooter from network in Windows 7
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-Windows-7

    Method 2:

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode with network.

    Check out the link:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/is-is/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2:

    If the issue is not still in safe mode, and then start the clean boot computer to determine if a third-party program is causing the problem. To configure your computer to clean boot see the following link.

    Ashwani Hello,

    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community.

    There are various reasons why a CD or DVD drive may not be detected. I would like to ask all of the steps in the Microsoft Article describes a troubleshooting and check if they help to resolve the issue.

    Your CD-ROM or DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs

    Before editing a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy of the key or the subkey. You can save the backup copy to a location that you specify, for example, a folder on your hard drive or a removable storage device. If you make changes that you want to cancel, you can import the backup copy. For more information about backing up the registry, please see the link below.

  • HP Jet 7 I can store and run programs from the memory card

    I have a HP Jet 7 with 64g memory card.  Can I store and run programs on my memory card?  How can I do?   Right now I store data on the card only.

    Hey @Tammy21856,

    Welcome to the forums of HP.

    I understand that you wonder if the programs can be installed in the storage on your Tablet 7 SD stream.

    You most certainly can. However, there are a few conditions. The first is that storage SD will be not as fast as the internal memory. The second is that the program that you install custom support install locations, but most programs do that should be of little interest. The last thing is that you can install office on the SD storage applications. Windows applications must be installed on the C:\ drive. In Windows 8, there was a way to install apps metro to SD storage, but the feature has been removed in Windows 8.1.

    Thanks for posting and I hope that answers your question.

  • Download "Bluetooth device driver not installed." with my mobile phone in Lenovo laptop. I could also see a yellow mark on this device in the Device Manager and a code 28 error

    I have a very serious problem about Bluetooth. And it's really frustrating. I don't know exactly what the problem with it, but my problem is as follows

    When I connect my mobile phone via Bluetooth for laptop (win 7 ultimate), my system shows the connection. Also, I see my mobile phone listed in the device window. Earlier, when I brought the computer laptop, everything seemed good, at this time, when I use it to open the device (IE to control ); a window would show the option for playing music (there was a lot of option as a 1 ' headset and speaker") and other services supported by the device. but now, suddenly somehow window appears but with in a 2 sec to disappear again. Whenever I try to open the device I get this error. I must say that it is very very frustrating as you try to move your cursor to click on audio playback on this portable display option, the window disappears. Help, please. Now, let me tell you what I tried to solve this problem.

    I have laptop Lenovo, which has something like that for bluetooth

    Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 USB

    Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator. I have 32 bits of the system, processor i3, win 7 ultimate, one port wifi

    In the center of troubleshooting, I tried for the material of scanning that show this Bluetooth device driver not installed (I could see a yellow mark on this device in the Device Manager and a code 28 error).

    But windows cannot fix it.  I have tried multiple devices but nothing turned up. also I tried the same devices on different laptops and all of them worked very well.  I checked online trouble - shooting.but not very useful. Please don't tell me about recovery. I don't know when it happened.

    Please help me. Please give me link if there is no download needed

  • Treo 800w not found in Device Manager and does not connect to ActiveSync

    I just got my Treo 800w and I have ActiveSync it once.  After that, I had a lot of trouble trying to get activesync to say that it was connected to the computer.  After doing some research on Google and help forums looking around, I discovered that the Treo should appear in my device manager when you are connected to the computer.  I went to my device manager and of course, it wasn't there.  After a lot of time trying to make it work, I found that the best thing to do is remove the battery and plug it in again.  Then the computer will find again.

    However, I also learned what was causing my problem and I don't know if it's a windows or a problem of palm, but it is a question.  If you connect a Treo 800w on a WinXP (I don't have Vista so I don't know if this problem exists) and even if you touch it connected the power button on all Windows POPs a message saying a USB device has malfunctioned and will cease to recognize the device.  I then told my wife (the main user of the Treo) to never touch the power button and even less the Treo at all while it is plugged into the computer.

    If this question has already been posted... I'm sorry that I'm not looking for it...

    If you read my entire post it says I already found the solution.  Try all the things you listed didn't work for my problem.  I write only because I believe that it is a bug/problem with palm or windows and the device.  Take the battery, put the battery back in, and reconnect the unit is the only thing that works.

    I also tried to uninstall ActiveSync, reboot, install ActiveSync and the battery... it works too, but it's much faster to just remove the battery then put it back and reconnect the device.

    To answer your other question on ActiveSync Yes, I've got 4.5.
