• Windows cannot find the program to open the exe file

  I did the windows repair option by restarting then pressed f8 to get to come repair options. I did it to try to remove a number of problems of virus on my laptop. It seems that it has solved the problem, but now when I try to access one of my desktop icon shortcuts it indicates that windows cannot find the program to open the exe file. She does it with every shortcut. I can access the location of the program and then select open with and it will be opened in this way, but there is not and I have to select each time. Another option that works is a right-click on the icon and selecting 'start' and who will run the program properly. Other than simply double-click the icons automatically no longer works since I did this repair.

  Windows Startup Repair fixed my problem, but now my desktop icons not properly opens with double-click

  Change back to normal if maximized properties do not work and follow these steps.

  Any window that you want to resize all the time must be the last closed window.

  Take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.

  The repost in the forum OK this is not resolved.

• Caught a virus. Want to just erase the HD and reinstall. Cannot get Windows original XP discs do. Help?

  Click son on some site that I can download a Trojan horse.  Disabled Malwarebytes and AVG update did not find. Saved that I need and now want to erase the hd and reinstall.  Cannot get computer to read what whatsoever. I myself once in safe mode, but now it tells me that it cannot find a hard disk.  I can refer to boot from the CD drive, but it gives me a blue screen error "cannot find a hard disk. Any help?

  Your computer most likely has SATA drive and the Windows XP installation disc does not include the SATA controller drivers so Setup can not 'see' the hard drive.  You have several options:

  1. to detect the drive, you must use the F6 method to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, note that when you use the F6 method, the pilots MUST be provided on a diskette, the installation program will not accept the drivers from other media sources.

  Adding third-party or updated during the installation of Windows driver
  Mass storage drivers and the Setup process

  2. you can integrate the drivers into your installation CD:

  3. you can go into the BIOS and change the SATA controller in IDE mode and the Windows Installer will be able to detect the drive.  Most of the BIOS have this option is available, if you don't you will need to use option 1 or 2 above.

• try reinstalling - cannot get Windows XP drivers working but material out Linux LiveCD work

  After having picked up some malware on microtour DX7300 of my wife, I decided to reformat the disk and reinstall.  For years and do not have a copy of the diskette of HP recovery that was created when we arrived first of all the computer.

  I have a copy of Windows XP Pro, installed in such a way that very well.  Device Manager is reported the driver problems with a large part of the devices as ethernet controller, audio, video etc.  I guess I can install most of the people afterwards, except the network/ethernet because I need, obviously, to connect to the internet.  Would have hoped that these devices are plug n play, but apparently not.

  I used a Ubuntu LiveCD to connect to internet.  So I know the network interface hardware works, and even audio and video resolution were out of the LiveCD.

  Found the drivers on this site:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3251397&...

  Those downloaded across the network.  In reading the DX7300, it is clear to me if the network card is the Broadcomm one or Intel.  Rebooted WinXP, I tried installing the Intel driver, got an error message no Intel device not found.  So I guess that's the Broadcomm one.  This driver, installation actually installed.  However, even after a reboot the network device does not work and presents itself as an error in the Device Manager.

  Thought I'd try to manually install the drivers by pointing "drivers" unpacked in the directory of installation above.  Windows indicated that the correct drivers were not found there.

  I'm at one end.  The material seems to work under linux, but cannot get the win to install the drivers.  Advice or help appreciated.

  Hello:

  This is exactly what I need.

  First install the Chipset driver and reboot:

• Cannot get Windows Update to download updates continuous Error 0x80072EFD

  System is running Windows XP Home SP3. I tried all that in the article above and still can not get Windows to date. Microsoft Fix - it that starts automatically when you will allow you to join the article don't fix things not be and it gives me the same error code 0x80072EFD as the update of Windows. I can install updates from the Windows Update Catalog, but I can't just Windows Update to work. During execution of the controls in the article when I typed in Sfc.exe a Black Madonna window appears and disappears. There is Norton on that computer that causing Internet Explorer do not allow access to the internet and the Norton Removal Tool has been used to remove it. Immediately I could access the internet but when even could not get Windows Update to download updates. I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and still no help. I installed AVG and it finds several viruses on the computer, they were removed and still nothing with Windows Update. I even tried turning off AVG and nothing helped. Help! Frustrated.

  Ok...

  And how did you determine that the computer is no longer infected (i.e., by whatever it is)?

  What is now the computer state to Windows Update?
