can't keep open programs

My compaq with windows 7 does not stay on the program opened more than a few seconds if there is no activity. A screen with my "icon of the user" and I have to click to return to the screen I was using.  The problem started after I had used my Picasa photo program to view photos as a screensaver slide show for a weekend recently.  What I did do that could cause this problem and what can I do about it?  Thanks for any help...

Hello notapcfixer, sorry, your computer does not work correctly.

You can try to perform a recovery of windows to a restore point before the installation of Picasa.

I used Picasa in the past with no problems, but he seemed to grab my system, so I stopped using it.

I hope this helps.

    Hello Fweak,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    According to the description of the problem after performing factory reset you are not able to open the application by clicking on the icon of these applications. Maybe there's a chance that, after the factory reset these application get removed from your computer.

    I suggest you to check whether or not this application is shown in programs and features. If she's not here, so if please install this application once more and then create the shortcut of this application. Then, you will be able to open the application by clicking the shortcut key.

    Step 1

    Check the application in the control panel.

    • Press on the key Windows + R.
    • Type appwiz.cpl in the run box.
    • Now, find the applications that you could not open.

    Step 2

    Install the application if it is not installed and display in the Panel.

    Step 3

    Try to create a shortcut for the application after installation. See the steps in the article mentioned below to create a shortcut.

  • Can we keep OPEN? Œuvres query in SQL Developer, but not Oracle APEX

    Hi Sirini,

    Just my thoughts - but if one of them is closed, I think it should be a {: identifier of the thread = 2496751} where it becomes the evasive. This one {: identifier of the thread = 2496754} (APEX!) must be the one that remains open. You do not?

    My 2 cents,
    Howard

    .. where it becomes the elusive...

    What skin? Posters he determined that he needed a semicolon at the end of the statement and that he had forgotten the INTO clause. The two are beginner errors.

  • Cannot close My Documents, the window keeps reopening and is always in the foreground, can not use another program

    I have a serious problem with windows Explorer. It keeps opening in 'My Documents' and it is impossible to close. I can close it but it immediately reopens seconds - not enough time to click anywhere else.

    It is also blocked in the foreground so that I can't use any other program, the cursor will move immediately to My Documents as the active window. I can't even go to start - run - or Start - logoff or anything because as soon as I click anywhere on the active window is new my documents.

    I don't know what happened, but I think my 1 years pressed a weird combination of keys while she was playing with my laptop. It is not a virus, because I ran a full Kaspersky scan and everything seems fine. Everything works fine in safe mode as well. It's only when I go in the "unsafe" mode I have this problem. I tried to watch the registry key as he pointed to similar problems on these forums, but I can't find a userinit registry key. What can I please?

    Hello nikitaghosh,

    I know that you have performed a comprehensive analysis of Kaspersky and nothing came, but have you run any malware removal software?  I've included a link for the removal of malicious software below, please let us know status.

    Hi Vpro1,

    Thanks for posting. First check with the OEM of your computer ram or motheboard to see if there are diagnostic tools that are available to the general public equipment for you test your equipment with. In addition, get with your OEM motherboard / computer to retrieve the steps on how to update your BIOS and drivers. Once you have done this uninstall and reinstall the program, you have problems with.

    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".

  • why I can't open programs without a box saying 'Open with' open chose the program

    I am an administrator on this computer, but opening programs on my desktop, I get a dialog box indicating "open with: choose a program to open this program with ' and there are recommended to choice and others to browse. But on my husband's office it can automatically open programs.

    I have no problem from my office on this computer, but other users have.

    What does it mean above?  It seems to be incompatible with your initial statement that "to open programs on my desktop, I get a dialog box indicating" open with: choose a program to open this program with... " »

    If you mean that when you double click shortcuts to applications (e.g., Word), you get the menu 'Open with' instead of opening the application, this means that the file association for exe files (applications) and probably also for lnk (shortcut) has been corrupted, probably by malware.

    To correct the file associations go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm read the documents at the top of the page, in particular the 'NOTE', then download and use the EXE File Association Fix and the difficulty of Association LNK (shortcut) file.

    Assuming that these steps fix your immediate problem, download, install, update and run full scans BOTH of the following free tools.  Do not run them both simultaneously.  The scans will take some time, so start an and then go for a non computer chore.  You can uninstall scanners when you're done, if you wish.
