• cannot open programs by right click and run as administrator

  had a virus earlier today, I think it was the security of windows one... anyway I got rid of it with malwarebytes and restarted my computer. now, for some reason, I can't run programs without going through a right-click and run as an administrator.
  When I try to run normally (left-click) I get this window "open with."
  I'm not very good with technical terms, but I tried several fixes that have failed

  When I right click, open properties, then open the tab compatibility... "run this program as Administrator" button is grayed out so I can't do anything with that.

  turning UAC enabled or disabled dosent seem to do anything.

  Some programs are completely inaccessible, (like microsoft word)

  I also watched regedit but as didemt not a lot of sense to me at all. If anyone could break how to fix this step by step before reinstalling the DVD (which I did not), you will be my best friend

  EDIT: I followed this link of early wich looked like the same, but the link of download in the best masculine seems to not work

• After a black screen with a cursor, the performed system restore, now cannot open programs, USB drive

  Original title: Windows 7 Home Edition

  Yesterday, my pc only has a black screen with a cursor. I tried to restore on another point but then after starting upwards and put my password, I get the home screen but cannot open any programs. I can't use the USB stick or cd / dvd drive so how should proceed to solve this? I can't put my external modem to make a back up and I really want to fix this without losing all the data on my pc. I can run programs in safe mode and windows installation disc opens in SafeMode as well, however I can't set safe mode.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  Hi Gstone,

  Method 1

  You can try to change the file association in the control panel and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  You can access the link below and follow the instructions on how to change that uses default Windows programs:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default

  Method 2

  If the steps above do not work I suggest you try to create a new user account and check if you can open programs and windows normally.

  Create a new user account.

  a. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.

  b. click on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  c. click on create a new account.

  d. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.

  If you are able to access it by using the new profile, access the link below and follow the steps to correct the user's profile.

• Cannot open program hp photo creations

  program creations uploaded/reloaded hp photo, window will not open program completely

  Hello
  (1) what exactly happens when you try to open the program of hp photo creations?
  (2) do you get an error message when you try to open the program of hp photo creations?

  I would say that if you have all the previous versions of this software, you will have to remove it.

  HP photo is compatible with Windows 7. If this is not the version you have installed, uninstall it from programs and features, and then download the latest version.

  You can download the free version here: http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/consumer/digital_photography/free/software/photo-creations.html

• Windows Vista cannot open programs and icons disappeared

  I have a Fujitsu with Windows Vista Tablet.  Last year, it was fine. Recently, I downloaded this program called Stardock, to change my login screen. It is sometimes unresponsive so I restarted the program and the problem would be solved.

  A few days after I downloaded some themes from their Web site and load them into the program itself, and he did not. After that, when I tried to reopen, he said something. I restarted, and now the login screen is black, my icons on the desktop are missing (cannot see passwords files and not the images). In addition, you know when you open certain programs, the screen darkens and a small box will appear to ask permission, yes it does not. Now, can't open some programs such as Ccleaner. All I get is "file system error: 65535" I also can't open my control panel.

  The only things I've done so far are by restarting my computer like 3 times already and the removal of the program from stardock. [I still have the themes downloaded from my well com]

  I doubt that it is a virus, but any help would be appreciated since this is a tablet that I use for school purposes.

• Cannot open programs using the icons on the desktop

  Hello

  I just noticed that I can not access the internet directly by clicking on the icon. a window opens asking for me to choose the program I want to use to open IE.  He would then run the program but nothing happens and it goes in circles asking to select a program to open, run, etc.

  Soon I noticed that clicking on other applications would result in an error message saying "Application not found".  I can't remove programs from my control panel because it is inaccessible, I can't open Microsoft Office programs directly unless I go to my computer.  I can't do a system recovery or restoration; the same messages will pop up. So basically, I can't make any changes to my desktop or access directly programs.  Help, please.

  Thank you

  Yesterday AVG advised me malware detection and asked if I wanted to quarantine I did.  Since then, I can't open ALL the program files. A box appears and asks "what file you want to open this program with" and it lists several items.  Nothing works. I can't get into my email either. Thank you.

• Cannot open program (0 x 80070057 erro) system restore point - details below

  Hi people. I open the program of system restore point can´t, it displays the folow error message: unexpected error. incorrect setting. 0 x 80070057. the restoration of the system will be closed. (or something like that). Someone knows how to fix this? What happened, I have never had any problems with my windows vista before. Very thanks! Pedro Pacheco of the Brazil (and sorry for my bad English)

  There may be several reasons for the restoration of the system do not have to work.

  1. If you are using Norton, disable it before using the system restore.
  Norton will interfere with system restore.

  2. try to use Safe Mode system restore:

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  3. malware stops at a system restore.
  Try a scan of your system:

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

  Malwarebytes is as its name suggests, a Malware Remover!

  Download the free Version from the link above.

  Download, install, upgrade and scan once a fortnight.

  Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6.2 is a very good Anti-Spyware FREE program.

  Download, install, update and immunize your system with it.
