• Cannot change default programs as an administrator

  I opened the JPEG files for the past 6 months with a program called FSViewer, but yesterday when I did it, the file is opened with a Windows program that is basically useless. I tried to reset the default value, but the program, FSviewer will not appear in the list once I selected it, I tried also in Control Panel by using the Folder Options. Does not allow me to change it. If I log in as a guest or with another account, no problem, I can change the default program, but it only works in other accounts and not as my main account, which is also administrator of the computer. I also tried to change another account limited to the administrator of the computer, and it allows me to change the default settings of the program without problem. If I change my main account to limited, it still does not change the default program. I guess I could remove the primary account/computer Manager, and start again, but I'd rather not. I am able to download and install programs, but not able to change the default programs.

  How can I get my main account to change default programs?

• cannot change default Windows Media Player .wmv.

  Whenever I get an attachment to a .wmv file, it is always default to Nero Showtime Essentials.  I go to my default programs icon in the control panel and change to Windows Media Player.  It changes accordingly.  Next time I get another .wmv file, I have to do this all over again.  Why it can be in default Windows Media Player instead of the Nero program?  In other words, how can I make this change permanently?

  Hello

  -Have there been any changes made on the computer before the show?

  -Is the file type-specific question?

  I would suggest trying the following steps and check.

   

  Method 1:

  Try to replace the association command prompt.

  a. Click Start and type cmd.exe in the start search box.

  b. right-click on cmd.exe and select run as administrator.

  (c) in the command prompt, type the following commands, and press ENTER.

  To remove the associated association: assoc.jar =

  To assign/change a file association: assoc.jar = jarfile

  d. close the command prompt and check with the question.

   

  If the problem persists, then uninstall and reinstall Java and check.

  There is no results on your Quickcam Logitech at the link above.

  See what the Vista Compatibility Center said about this:

  First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

  If the above is ZERO, the time to buy a new camera.

• POBLEMS DEFAULT PROGRAM WINDOWS 7

  I have a problem. My list of default programs starts with the letter F

  All programs starting for exa, ple with one are not in the list, so I can't select it as default program.

  I tried right click and 'open with' and browsweed in the programs exe file - but it will not record the program that it is not in the list of default programs. Please can you tell me how to solve this

  J7... I had this problem too and * literally * just fixed it through the registry.

  Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell

  In order to change folder and open, using their formatting, change the default value to reflect the location of the exe CS4.  For example, I entered in the following (including the quotation marks):

  "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit) \Photoshop.exe" '%1 '.

  When I went to re-associate files, CS4 has appeared in "Other Files".  I was able to select without any problem.

  I think I saw you post also nothing doesn't so I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Qosmio G50 - 10I - cannot run Firefox on Windows 7 64 bit

  I would like to know if someone can run firefox browser (not in safe mode) on the Qosmio G50 - 10i using Windows 7 64 bit. Since I changed the operating system 32-bit to 64-bit, I can't use Firefox browser except change the browser in safe mode.
  Don't know if this is a problem with the computer or web browser.

  A control will be useful
  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  Of course, you can use Firefox on the Qosmio G50. Why it shouldn't be possible? Firefox can be used on all computers.

  In my opinion, you should try put it back. Download the latest version and update. Maybe it works.

  Please advice,

  You can try to install the service of vmnetbridge with vnetlib64.exe

  Have a look here

  http://sanbarrow.com/network/cmdguide2workstation.html

  Note: the instructions are written for 32-bit windows and may need some adjustments for 64-bit

  what you could try now is: disable UAC, all firewalls and all antivirustools and try again as an administrator to reset to the default values in the virtual network Editor
