Can not choose the program as default

I'm defining gvim.exe as the default program for a certain number of types of files, XML mainly, but some others.  So I right click on an XML file and selectOpen with-> choose default program  The Open with dialog box appears.  I click on theBrowse... button.  I to gvim.exe and click Open.  It then goes back to the Open with dialog box, but gvim.exe does not appear in the list of recommended programs or other.

I tried to install gvim in C:\Program Files (I've normally keep it in C:\Vim).  I tried to run Explorer as an administrator.  I tried to do it through Control Panel.  I can't get it works and it's driving me crazy.  Any ideas on why this is happening?

It's on Windows 7 64 bit.

    Thank you!

    Problem solved by a person post in the Forums of Vista, that what he said in this thread (Thread link: http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/202928-open-choose-default-program-error-vista-2.html#post939031 ):

    "PROBLEM SOLVED!"
    HOO HOO!

    I want to thank you once again BRINK for ideas on how to solve this problem.
    The next step below, this is how I solved this annoying problem:

    First of all, I came across this article on the Microsoft Web site by changing my google search to solve the problem. I started the google search with the following:

    'open with' lack of context menu

    Who brought results with the first being a microsoft link:

    Command 'Open with' missing from the context Menu

    Now the article didn't tell me exactly how to solve this problem, but it gave me an idea.
    He said look at the following reg key:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\openas\command

    And he said to watch the following default value:

    C:\%windir%\rundll32.exe shell32.dll, OpenAs_RunDLL %1

    After that, I noticed that the value was different, but then I noticed in watching the article says that this applies to Windows 95 and 98.
    I then looked at the same key on my laptop that is running Vista Ultimate 32 bit also and I noticed there are subfolders on my laptop that my office did not have.
    It should look like the following:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown
    \DefaultIcon
    \+Shell
    \+openas
    \COMMAND
    \+opendlg
    \COMMAND

    My office was only the DefaultIcon folder.
    Well I just copied the key from my laptop and voila... it worked.
    I thank the gods of the computer. This has really been bugging me. I know that some people would have just reconfigured or installed a new but I knew it was an easy fix. I thought it was a reg key or windows dll file, but I just need to find the location where he resided in. Luckily I came across this article which pointed me in the right direction. Now I feel like I accomplished something.

    Sorry if this is a bit long but I HATE it when I'm looking for answers in the forums and I see someone say they have solved their problem, but they either don't say anything about how they fixed or that they are so vague that they could didn't say anything.
    I hope this helps others if they have this problem.

    Thank you once again on BOARD! "

    That's all!

  • The desktop icon can not find the program

    I'm having a problem where when I click on my desktop icons they can not find the program that is associated with run.

    Most of them is related to sites Web that I often use, so I select Internet Explorer as the associated program then remember this radio button, but when I connect and get back in that I get the same error.

    I am running windows XP, I say this because I've posted this before, and I referred to a difficulty which will not work with this operating system.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • I have age of empires 3 and I can not start the program.

    Hello

    I have age of empires 3 and I can not start the program.
    The program is installed, but once the autorun.exe appears (with the icons of the game, uninstall, website, out) I click on play and the game does not just start. My computing needs are fairly good for the game because I used to play the game on the same computer later.

    Thanks for your help

    Bink is what plays the scenes cut in many games.

    Installation folder of AOE 3 the binkw32.dll should be in games.
    If it is then it is may be damaged and reinstall the game normally would set the
    problem.

    AutoPatcher.exe - I do not know because I never use auto-patchers with games.
    I have always to download the patch and install manually.
    However, my game has the RockallDLL.dll file.

    I don't really know a good site to lead you to these files.
    You can find a binkw32.dll in another game. Try doing a search of
    Program Files (x 86) (or another location if you install games to the default locations). If you have the file in another game you can copy into your AOE3
    folder of the master installation.

    There was a lot of discussion on these forums about AOE3 so a
    search of these forums may find another suggestion.
    You can also try the specific AOE3 forums-

    Glassfish entire works well outside it.

    keytool could be found in/usr/java/latest/bin/keytool.

    We need to have that in the path? There is no requirement in the
    Installation Guide for this, nor did the RPM installation adjust the system
    path accordingly.

    I hope someone can tell my how things should be in regards to keytool?

    Thank you, Tom

    Hi Tom,

    the procedure to change the password for the listener of glassfish server hosting APEX

    ... more like a topic related to GlassFish for me. I guess you will get the best answers to these questions in a GlassFish related forum...

    For what it's worth, I'll try my best even when:

    Can not run the program "keytool": java.io.IOException: error = 2, no such file or directory

    This seems to be a pretty clear error message: keytool , which probably is used to manage keys for users of GlassFish, was not found. This means, you are either running on an operating system that is not officially certified for GlassFish, or you GlassFish has not been configured correctly.
    You have run

    GlassFish@ahost:/opt/glassfish3/GlassFish/Domains/mydom01/config > which java
    / usr/bin/Java

    ... which means that you assume your GlassFish runs without being set JAVA_HOME. If that's true, I'm install you GlassFish correctly from this setting.
    Anyway, you have also discovered that

    keytool could be found in/usr/java/latest/bin/keytool.

    ... that is not + / usr / bin + and probably not in the way of global search of the user on whose behalf your GlassFish is running. Then, you can either create a link [*] for c++ / usr/bin/keytool + do (finally) to + / usr/java/more late/bin/keytool +, or you setup JAVA_HOME to be + / usr/java/last +.
    [*] Note that depending on your operating system, there may be more than one stage of indirection, for example my Ubuntu a + / usr/bin/java + pointing on + / etc/alternatives/java + which points on + / usr/lib/jvm/java-6-Sun/jre/bin/java + where + / usr/lib/jvm/java-6-Sun / + points to the directory containing the real JDK to use. You will probably find something like this on your system. My Ubuntu box has a link for + / usr/bin/keytool +, so I get when running "what keytool.

    We need to have that in the path? There is no requirement in the installation guide for that, nor the RPM installation has adjusted the path system accordingly.

    Again, this is not a forum of GlassFish.

    I hope my advice helps you solve your problem. If they are not, please choose the appropriate forum for your next post on this topic. And I guess, giving additional information about your OS and how you manage your JDK (and which version you use) help people here to help you.

    Thank you

    There is a Speedy PC Pro porgram on my computer keeps coming back as an error and I can not find the program or software

    any where on my computer to uninstall or remove. I don't know where it comes from. Please notify.

    If the "program not found" error message is associated with the Windows startup, another solution is to use the System Configuration tool and remove applications from the startup list.

    Here are the steps on how to do this:

    1. Move the cursor to the Start menu and then click on "Run".
    2. In the Open box, type msconfig
    3. Heat the Enter key
    4. Click the Startup tab
    5. Remove/disable all uninstalled applications in the startup list
    6. Move the cursor to the Start menu and then click on 'stop'. After that click on 'restart'.

  • B2B can not choose the Emails

    Hi B2B Experts.

    Requirement:
    Queries the B2B via a channel of e-mail to listen for e-mail messages to a mailbox.
    Driver configured email.

    When I made on my Local mail server n Server Local SOA, something has worked well.
    But now it is customer SOA server and mail server client uses is HTTPS.

    That's why when configuring Email pilot SOA, I checked SSL enabled for PoP3.

    I can send a message of SOA for mail server via the human workflow of SOA-Infra section.
    However, when I send the message to the mail server, channel B2B listening should pick up.
    But this isn't the case.

    B2B can not choose e-mail from the mail server.
    Updates will be appreciated.

    Thank you
    Vivek

    Hi Vivek,

    With means "B2B don't use SOA e-mail pilot" if I continue to Setup Email pilot in SOA-Infra, it is of no use.

    Yes. As I said, B2B uses any SOA E-mail pilot. So, it does not matter that you configure in your SOA mail driver.

    Earlier I was not able to send E-mail, this box to e-mail e-mail server. However, when I went to SOA - Infra--> human workflow and send a Notifcation after activation 'Email' in the Notification of workflow, I was able to send emails from the mail server.

    You were not able to send an email to B2B?

    Also wanted to know, if SSL Certifate will help.

    Yes, he will have to configure certificates when start transport B2B EMail supporting SSL. Because currently it is not supported then adding certs in Weblogic keystore can also do not help. Like I said, better raise an ER with support.

    Kind regards

  • Can not watch the program to watch DVDs and flash videos

    I have two laptops from Toshiba one problem in each.

    (* 1) * on the older Satellite (M40-276) with XP I have the following problem, I can watch Flash videos online, but I can't watch them downloaded in the computer (although the dowload is correct). I have two readers flash, QuickTime and Real Player.

    Used to work but fine * after you have reinstalled Windows * longer steps.

    (* 2) * in the new Toshiba Satellite L500D (13 H) with Windows 7, I would like to know if I can use the program to watch DVDs that allowed faster and more slowly, watch one (slow motion look at a for example), and where can I download it, this program came with the Satellite (M40-276).

    My new DVD player works fine, but I prefer the old form of program around 2005 (had a small turtle to symbolize the alternative of idle).

    Thank you!

    HELLO chocolate,

    It appears that you met with computers laptop Toshiba. You're not alone, I have also two portable Toshiba and in my opinion, they have a good quality and competent service.

    With regard to your problems:

    (1) to watch flash videos, you need of special codes or player I think. I also stocked up flash videos on my computer (.flv) and so I use VLC media player to watch them. It can play most audio and video files for all media player! :)
    Check this box!

    (2) in theory, it should be possible to use an older DVD player program, but in this case, I also recommend VLC media player.
    It s worth a try!

    Hello!

    Each time a random strange behavior or slowness comes, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes.

    See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    Good luck!
