• Cannot change default program windows 7 64 bit

  I have a user who is running windows 7 64 bit which cannot change default programs. This only happens on the computer if it is connect. So I think it has something to do with his profile.  I noticed that when I go in the Panel and click default programs on associated with a file type I can choose the new program, but it will not save.

  We just migrated to a new domain and transferred all the user profiles with the Microsoft migration tool.

  Thank you

I tried right click and press choose program by default and chaning to java, but nothing seems to happen! I don't know what to some may help me!

  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.

• 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?

• Cannot change default audio transition

  I want to change my audio transition default "Constant power" to "Gain Constant.

  So I right-click on it in the effects palette, chose "default value", and it highlighted.

  Yet when I use my shortcut audio crossfade, it still applies a constant power.

  What I am doing wrong?

  OK, so the problem is that I was using the command "Apply the Transition Audio Crossfade", NOT the command "Apply default Transitions to selection".

  Which is still pretty boring, because it works differently... seems you have to select the transition with the mouse, while the command of Crossfade is automatically applied to the current position.

  You cannot change the order of Crossfade to be 'constant gain?

  Update: OK, I guess I can use "Apply Audio Transition"... so, what is the Transition of Crossfade Audio apply for?

• Cannot change default location of any program

  Have CC on my two computers. Computer 1 does not have this problem, makes computer 2.

  I get the message "Download error" generic in the Panel of desktop CC for awhile. EVERYTHING suggests in multiple threads, with the exception of remove all apps, tried and I won't. Too many filters and 3rd party stuff.  But I just noticed that I can not change location of language or by default for applications. I got this set to a new location on my K drive. The drop-down lists are gray. I think that CC somehow 'lost' my settings therefore cannot download files - it has no path specified to download/install them.

  I tried to delete the files in the folder appdata, delete the cc desktop application, install again, etc.  Any suggestions?

  Please follow the steps below.

  1. Please follow the solution 2 in the link error: "unable to install". Creative Office Cloud
  2. Install Application creative Cloud Desktop using the link Download Adobe Creative Cloud applications. CC free trial Adobe

  Hope this will help you.

• Cannot install new programs as "system administrator has set policies to prevent Installation.

  It comes to my computer at home, not on any network.  More and more, I get this error message.  There must be an easy fix.  Hope someone can show me the way... Thank you... Marv

  Hi MarvReinke

   

  1. you are the administrator of the computer?
  2 do you have standard user permissions to install programs?

  It seems that this administrator has blocked installation of programs on the computer. (UAC) user account controls have been set accordingly. If you are the computer administrator, you can try to connect as an administrator and see if you can install the programs correctly. You can also try to change UAC settings to solve the problem.

   

  You can check the links below for more information-

• Cannot open a program as an administrator, even if the program does not have administrator permission

  I have Kindle Previewer installed on my system and suddenly, it works (whenever I click on the shortcut, it does not open) I reinstalled the program and it was always the same. I click with the right button on the shortcut and open it with "Run as Administrator year ' but I just want to open with double click. I checked the properties, and it doesn't have the box "Run this program as Administrator" checked. I also checked the actual exe files and they are. Then why only this open with run as administrator?
  I would be grateful for any help.

  Hi SteveB63,

  Please disable user access control and try.

  1. open user account control settings by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type uac, and then click change user account control settings.

  ·         To turn off UAC, move the slider to never notify position, and then click OK.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. You need to restart your computer for UAC to fade.

  2 remove the temporary files,

  In the Start Menu of Windows, type run in the field search programs and files and press ENTER. (You can also use the keys winlogo + r to bring up the run dialog box ).

  In the result, Run dialog box , type %temp% , and press ENTER.

  Press Ctrl + a (or Organization > select all or Edit > select all) to select all the files, right click and delete all files. (Or press the delete key.)

  Restart your computer and try.

  Please let us know if the problem still persists.
