  • I can't find add/remove Windows components

    Hello im trying to find the parameters (or file) for the universal plug an Interface Play (UPnP) anyone know where I can find this file and how to get there?

    Thank you for your time

    UPnP has changed its name to Vista and really did not all other parameters only on or off.  It also works different in Vista than XP.  It is practically necessary only for ICS and thus more/stop toured.  Other changes to port settings that were once controlled by uPnP must now be done through the router or Windows Firewall.  See the following:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/02/12/turn-on-and-enable-upnp-or-network-discovery-in-windows-vista/.  The following thread can also shed light on the situation:http://help.wugnet.com/vista/UPnP-Framework-Vista-ftopict109931.html.

    To answer the other question, add /' remove Windows components.

    Turning on or turning on components Vista Windows (from http://www.real-knowledge.com/vistacomponents.htm):

    1. Click the Start button located in the lower left corner of the Windows Vista desktop.

    4. Now click on Windows to enable or disable features to show all the features.

  • Why cannot open itunes with windows 10

    Why cannot open iTunes with windows 10

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. (Yes, I see that you've done that but maybe not the specific deletions which are mentioned).

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    See also install missing components in case the installation of a component at a time is successful.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Why can't I open Add/Remove?

    I have win7 pro. I tried to open Add/Remove and I get dll control. Help

    If you want to get your system working again, you must stop shorten your responses with point point point (dots) and reply with the exact error message you see not paraphrase, no point of dot dot, not etc.  Remember that we do not understand what you see.

    What is your version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    For example, you see this kind of thing:

    C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

    or this:

    Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

    Or you see something else?

    Do your work Panel options or they all seem to have the same problem?

    XP Pro SP3. When I opened the Add/Remove window, and after that it populates the list of programs, there is a large white space (hole).

    Well, AutoCAD would come after AVG (in alphabetical order).

    BurrWalnut was probably right, but there are actually several things that cause this problem if AutoCAD is involved.

    Supposedly, people AutoCAD fixed ths some time ago and my notes are a little old, but here's what I have:

    Before making any changes to your registry, save it with this free and popular tool:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    According to me, the problem is the index of the icon for AutoCAD is wrong or the file icon is missing and we can deal with either.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Regedit

    Click OK to open the registry editor.

    Navigate to where is all the stuff to add/remove programs:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

    Find what I think is the entrance of AutoCAD:

    {5783F2D7-0101-0409-0000-0060B0CE6BBA}

    You can be sure, by looking at the entry DisplayName on the right side to be sure it's AutoCAD. I hope that you don't have to hunt for him.

    Check the value of Exposeicon on the right side and if it is - 1, double-click the value and change it to 1 and then exit regedit. If it is not - 1, tell me what it is.

    Restart and test.

  • Cannot open file because Windows needs to know what program created the file

    After downloading some files when I try to open the file, I get the message cannot open the file, windows needs to know what program created the file.

    Any suggestions?

    Perhaps no program has been assigned to this file format and so you cannot open these files.
    I put t know which files you downloaded, but you can choose an application installed that can open these files.

    Right click the file and I have to then choose open with.
    Then, you could choose the program you want to use.

    I tried running Outlook.exe / resetnavpane because I see it worked for a ton of people - but I got the error message "cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.  The command line argument is not valid.  Check the switch you are using.

    This is almost always due to:

    1. you have an older version of Outlook that does not have command line switch.  What version of Outlook you have?
    2. you have not put a space between "Outlook.exe" and "/ resetnavpane.
