Bad program opening
I opened a file on my laptop windows 7 with adobe reader and now all my files and programs open only with adobe reader, how to restore the files and programs with their original settings?
Not sure but maybe - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/all-my-programs-open-with-a-certain-type-of/73e65df7-db95-40cb-8074-27c614c88949
I personally have not had the problem, so Ive never tried this fix.
IF you can, make a backup (at least your data) first and so you can at least back to this position if the fix does not work.

(view the contents of .exe), or you can jump into any other application.

Can check the programs add and romove, but when the next screen appears to list all installed programs nothing happens, it just says: waiting will list is bieng prepared, expected 15 minutes still nothing, never had this problem before. Thank you
Alas...
As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.
Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.
Click Start, run and enter the following command:
regsvr32 appwiz.cpl
Click OK and you should see a message like this:
DllRegisterServer in successful appwiz.cpl
Restart and see how things look now.

Programs open suddenly in an INACTIVE window
Suddenly, all my programs open in a window INACTIVE (or State). For example, when I open a browser and start typing a URL, nothing happens until I click on the first window to make it ACTIVE. This problem has happened a few times in the course of the last few years and then disappeared on its own. How to fix?

I open an email with pictures. When I click on the photo attached to the view, the excel program opens and not the image viewer.
One of photo accessories save somewhere you can find it (for example, your desktop computer).
Right-click on the file that you saved and select open with, then select "Choose program" (at the bottom of the context menu).If the program you want to use is listed as one of the "recommended programs", select it, click on the box to "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK.
If you want to use the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to view photos (personally, I like free IrfanView better) AND it is NOT listed as a program "recommended" or under "Other programs", follow the instructions below:
in Windows Explorer:
- On the Tools menu, click folder... Options
- Click the File Types tab.
- Scroll down to the extension that you like, for example "JPG".
- Press the restore button, if it exists.
- Press the Advanced button.
- Click the Open action.
- Click on change...
- In the Application used to perform action: enter C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1. "C:\WINDOWS" is the directory that contains your Windows installation.
- Press OK
You'll want to repeat for each extension (GIF, JPG, JPEG, etc.) for which you want to change the behavior.

The Windows Setup program opens each time a program is open
My setup issues are not quite like those posted. My Windows Installer is not only appear at any time, but rather opens whenever I want to open a program. I click on explore, and I get the window. It passes through the preparation to installation and the program opens. It should not only be the program well. When I tried to open this Web page, it came, and then when I wanted to post this comment he came again. So I had to wait until he is 'install', and then I could post. I did a system restore now for something completely different, and once I did, and then it started to happen. I also decided to restore back to an earlier date, and then I got the message unable to restore. I tried to re-boot in safe mode, but it wouldn't take my password! Thank God it's Friday! I really want to solve first the thing of windows installer.
Thank you!
Hi Giggymaw,
It is possible that your Windows Installer service is damaged and must be repaired. You can follow the steps described in the following article for instruction on how to repair service:I hope this helps. -
