• 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?

• How to permanantly change default font when composing in windows mail

  I want to permanantly change the default font from Arial to Times New Roman. I can't find instructions on how to do it. I know how to compose a single message, but I want to change it permanantly. Is it still possible?

  Keep in the default font of mind changes in Windows Mail only will be not honored if you have installed IE 9.  You would have to do the default font in IE TNR for it to stick.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#15 if you do not have IE 9 installed, then you can go to tools | Options | Read | Fonts and the font of reading by default there set.

• Shortcut icons and desktop Windows 7 file to change default

  The shortcut icons for the Office 2010 applications on my desktop and icons for office and acrobat files have re-established a kind of default icon.

• 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.

• The lower part of my firefox is covered by my default Windows menu bar.

  When it shows (IE made above the menu default windows) its being covered by the menu default windows taskbar.

  The Firefox window is maximized?
  
  Have you tried to resize the Firefox window?

  You can also change the properties of the taskbar of Windows via the context menu to either hide or disable always on top.

• Why to start Firefox message appears that "the color palette has been changed to Windows 7 Basic"?

  I am running Windows 7. When Firefox starts the message that arrives the color scheme has been changed to Windows 7 Basic. The message then continues to talk about the incompatible program. When I close Firefox to the colors return to normal. It has just begun to happen.

  Check that you are not running Firefox in compatibility, or with a reduced screen resolution mode.

  You can open the properties of the desktop Firefox shortcut via the context menu and check under the tab "compatibility".
  
  Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

• Cannot change default programs as an administrator

  I opened the JPEG files for the past 6 months with a program called FSViewer, but yesterday when I did it, the file is opened with a Windows program that is basically useless. I tried to reset the default value, but the program, FSviewer will not appear in the list once I selected it, I tried also in Control Panel by using the Folder Options. Does not allow me to change it. If I log in as a guest or with another account, no problem, I can change the default program, but it only works in other accounts and not as my main account, which is also administrator of the computer. I also tried to change another account limited to the administrator of the computer, and it allows me to change the default settings of the program without problem. If I change my main account to limited, it still does not change the default program. I guess I could remove the primary account/computer Manager, and start again, but I'd rather not. I am able to download and install programs, but not able to change the default programs.

  How can I get my main account to change default programs?

  XP86 running. Recently had installed the additional memory. Microsoft Update icon never goes away - seems like if 1 of 5 updates usually install on a group. Keep trying to install updates (even those) again and again. Sometimes we will not install and then moved the next time, he's trying to install the same updates, another a group.

• Windows XP crashes intermittently when stopping. Stuck on the screen with the default windows background color and the mouse pointer.

  We are an OEM that systems of electronic Assembly is based, in our machine is a PC running Windows XP Professional that provides the interface for the operator. Some of our systems have begun to crash intermittently when stopping.  Up to now we have seen it on three machines.  There has been no change to hardware or drivers that we put on these machines.

  The PC is supposed to stop at the point were he said "It is now turn off your computer", but it hangs when the only thing on the screen is the default windows background and the mouse pointer. The mouse moves, but that's all. He is unresponsive to ctrl-alt-delete, or any other entry.

  This was reported 5 times, and in any case there's nothing in any log file which would tend to indicate where the problem is maybe.

  I guess we have a bad driver or device, but the problem only happens once all stops of 5-10, and only after the machine is turned on for a while.

  I just turned on the detailed status messages, but they did not stop the machine since.

  What I asked is: is it possible to get windows to connect to all events stop? I really want to know what he was doing when he stopped.  Can someone else think something I can look at, or a better way to debug this?

  Re: a suggestion on this new monitor to 'prove' is the source of the problem
  Disconnect it, connect a type non-ecran touch "ordinary".
  stop/restart in safe MODE, make sure that the old monitor is not appear in the Device Manager [what we used to call a ghost]
  If it IS, delete it & uninstall the sw provided with touch screen
  Reboot in normal mode
  Try a stop
  If you get the old orange it'S now SAFE, tell the seller about IT.

  You don't say what kind of discs to have.

  Here is the info on how to reinstall using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

  For all other Vista reinstall information, contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
