At startup, My Documents opens without be clicked. I heard that there is a registry problem. I tried the fix in the registry and it has not worked. Can you help me?

A few days ago, I noticed my Documents open when running on my Windows Vista computer. I did a few Google searches hoping to find some sort of answer. I saw that XP had the same problem and noticed that the solution for XP was the same thing as Vista, I found the answer for my system.

I tried two fixes registry and again, in vain. Now my Documents appears more than ever. I tried to scan for viruses and malware, and nothing came. I have read that I need to do a system restore, and I would try to avoid that if possible.

Even as I type this, My Documents is popping up on the taskbar. It's really starting to annoy me and I want a solution for this.

Help!

  • Startup and display does not work well.

    When I start Windows XP it takes about 4 minutes to the icons appears.  They appear of normal size and the screen turns white and the size of the icons and programs and the internet are extra-large. I go into display properties and reconfigure and find his game on 8-bit!  After configuration back to normal display and restart or turn on again the same thing happens!

    Also, I tried to do a system restore and it does not work either. Please advise me on what to do. Thank you!

    Hi RhondaHeaven,

    I suspect that your display card drivers are corrupted. You have your cd/dvd drivers? If this is not the case, download your display drivers (you will get the model and make from Device Manager - click on start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> hardware-> device-> display adapter Manager).

    Click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> hardware-> Device Manager-> right click on your display-> Uninstall adapter.

    Uninstall display drivers Intel of add/remove programs.

    Restart your computer. Reinstall the drivers from the cd or downloaded driver.

    I hope this helps.

  • Click and drag does not work.

    It kills me.

    I can't click and drag anything. No selection tools. No net.

    Nope! I have homework due, so I went on a crazy uninstall spree. I uninstalled Gmote, Spotify, Macrokey Manager (whatever the hell that is) and a Ubuntu Wubi installation. The latter was probably unnecessary - my money is the Gmote or MacroKey Manager.

    Whatever it is, it works now. Didn't even have to restart Photoshop.

  • OPM get a "this file is not found error" but the document opens without plugin

    I'm under 64-bit Windows 7, Word 2010, OP 10.4.4.21.

    The scenario is strange.  Everything has been fine until today.  Something has changed, and now I am unable to open all the OPM Word documents (or compile compile all).  When I try, the error message ' Oracle Policy Modeling could not open document, such that an error has occurred in Microsoft Word: this file was not found ".". "  The document opens, however, but the plugin is not displayed.  I tried to reinstall OPM several times without success.  Indeed, during install it first a couple I'd always get the error message, but CERTAIN documents open with the active plugin and I could compile in the document - and some wouldn't have the plugin.  After another reinstall, OPM still throws the error, and documents open always in the background, but without the plugin active or exposed.

    I also tried to Repair Word, but do not want to reinstall office.   Excel seems to work very well.  I don't really know what was the triggering event.  The project has been using subversion when he arrived, but now all the projects on my machine, subversion or not, are concerned.  I think it's just my machine and others do not see this problem.

    Has anyone seen this?  Something corrupt?  It's almost like the word invocation simply does not work properly.

    Help!

    Thank you very much.

    OH - I found and fixed it.  Word has disabled the "Add-in".

    1. Click the File tab, click options.  A popup options will appear and then click Add-Ins.
    2. In the box macros complementary , if you see that policy modeling Word 2010 Template.dotm is disabled, you will need to enable it.  Downstairs, choose from the menu drop-down handle and click on the button 'Go '.
    3. Select the type of "Disabled" in the Management area, and then click OK.
    4. Select the item to activate, and then click the button 'Activate'.


    It was something that should have been easy.  We have a couple of experts of the Oracle takeover bid on the site and they didn't, and R & D in Australia has yet to respond to us.

  • My .exe files are not open as they should after a virus removal and some do not work right.

    Here's the problem. I did a scan for viruses with AVG and deleted viruses from my computer. One of those annoying virus seems to be a program called Vista Antivirus that I had never downloaded or installed. I had a feeling that it was not good when she appeared all first. After that AVG has found to be a threat, he removed. This is where the problems started.

    After the removal of Antivirus Vista, my programs refuse to open without a right click and run as administrator. In some cases, like my WMP, the music and the Zune program, they do not work properly. Whenever I try to open a song in WMP or Zune, it won't play them or videos. Instead, as with all other programs, the 'Open with' window as if it does not recognise .exe files. So now you can see my aggravation.

    There is one more problem. After that I restart and login to my account and open the Task Manager to close unnecessary programs that I don't need or want to open, there are usually a whole list of them. However, as I did this virus removal, only a few main Basic programs that are needed to power the computer are open. Since most of those who opened before were .exe files, I can see where is the problem.

    Honestly, I'm stuck for what to do to solve this problem. I'll do a system restore and see if it works (and I hope it will be). If this isn't the case, I need little help and instructions to fix this annoying problem.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and help out me.

    -iggy

    Edit: System Restore has been a success. Is there anyway I can stop this from happening in the future?

    Hi ignite444,

    Glad to hear that the problem is solved!

    Unwanted programs or virus downloaded on the computer without the user's knowledge.

    Important Antivirus software must be updated regularly to stay effective against new viruses. Most of the antivirus software are designed to update automatically, but you can also update your software manually.
    You should also keep during the virus scan regularly.

    Update your anti-virus software
