  Hi David & Laurakunde,

  It seems that you purchased your Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store.  If this is the case, you should be able to log on to your account to download the installation files again.  In addition, please see the following article:

• Cannot use the files copied from Windows 8/7/Vista in windows XP.

  Always there are people who use Windows Xp, the problem is that when I copy the files in my USB and use it in my friends house, then Windows XP said 'pen drive not formatted ".

  Always there are people who use Windows Xp, the problem is that when I copy the files in my USB and use it in my friends house, then Windows XP said 'pen drive not formatted ".

  How is the "pen drive" formatted - with what the specific OS file system?
   
  This is more likely to be a file system - do not operating system (although related, not as much as you might think)-problem.  Another possibility is a problem hardware or bad driver on the machine Windows XP itself.  It could also be, although rare, an incompatible 'USB key '.
   
  What is the 'pen drive' is formatted with the file system is essentially - the first question to ask.  Then - if I were you - I everything on the 'pen drive' copy on a computer which can be read - if committed to the machine more common denominator (in this case the Windows XP machine) you will use and FORMAT this 'pen drive' using this machine.  One of the few possible things will happen no doubt...

  (1) you'll find you format it with a version of NTFS that will work in all areas - all the machines that you can use with Windows XP or more on them.  Then this problem will disappear.

  (2) you will find there * is * something wrong with the Windows XP specific in question and this machine is not a problem easily solved this and your "pen drive" probably will work on someone elses machine Windows XP very well as it existed before.

  (3) you will end up with a FAT32 formatted "pen drive" that should work on most any system - as long as you don't need to transfer * really * large individual files.

• Cannot cancel the file associations in Windows 7 Lite

  I changed my file associations so that the paint (which was used to open the fair rle, wmf and emf files), by selecting all.  It worked, and paint opens now jpg, gif, etc.  I noticed that I was not able to select the types individually - only the select all check box was available.

  However, now I want to change the settings in the original three file types.  I can't always uncheck the file types, I just chose, OR three originally.  Viewer Photo of Microsoft still has the associations in that dissociating the, they are not associated.

  Y at - it a fix for this bug?  I'm up-to-date with my Windows updates.

  Hey Jack,

  Exactly how you try to change the file association?

  You should be able to individually control panel.

  a. Click Start and type default programs.

  b. click default programs.

  c. click on associate a file type with a program.

  d. double-click .wmf and choose paint from the list of programs.

  e. Repeat for other types of files.

  This should be it.

• Cannot find the files downloaded in Windows Media Player

  original title: it's bullcrap that shouldn't happen at all, is not in winamp why in wmp?

  Why when I download music this stupid msg can not find file appears when this is not in winamp or other players, why don't microsoft fiox it

  Stuart,
  There is nothing from Microsoft that opens and says that you have to pay. You can enter the store of Windows update, but which doesn't sound like what you are doing.
  I would say that you need to run anti-virus software and anti malware program to check your system... sounds like you have a bug.

• Windows 2k8R2 - receiving error when you connect (MMC cannot open the file: C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc)

  Windows 2008 R2 - I just started getting this when I connect, and also when I try to manage the machine:

  MMC cannot open the file:

  C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc

  It is perhaps because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you don't have sufficient access to the file.

  It always worked before and work for other users simply not me on this particular area. It is a production company, and I need a quick resolution please. Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  1. what changes have been made to your computer before the problem?
  2. the problem occurs on a particular file?
  3. What is the format of the file you want to play in Windows Media Player?

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

  Please see the bottom of the article that gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.
