Displays Windows cannot open .exe and .encre file extensions.

I just downloaded codecs on a website affiliated to microsoft.  I decided to remove this program and my desktop icons went, including shortcut icons.  Double click on these icons got me the message "Windows cannot open this file".  Then displays a folder on my desktop more Winxp32.  Great, now my whole OS is on the desktop in a folder and I can't open any file.  I have since run REGEDIT. EXE and am waiting for additional help in our community... God bless my friends and what you believe in... ME

A restore of the system at a time until your problem should solve your problem.  Since you can not click on shortcuts to start programs, you may need to start restoring the system in accordance with the following article:

  • "My external hard drive does not appear in Windows Explorer and cannot open 'Help and Support', an error message" Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing.

    Original title:

    Everything was fine until yesterday. Juice now, when I plugged the external HD into the USB port it does not appear in the 'my computer' window. It is recognized by the computer as it is present on the list of the "Disk Clean Up" and it also appears when I click on ' Safe Remove Hardware ' on the taskbar. But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

    Trying to find a solution, I realized that same 'information system' to 'System tools' is also not available. Pops up a window saying that "Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. " To resolve this problem, start the service named help and Support '. OK, I tried to open 'Help and Support' ' Start Menu ' and the same window appeared again to "not have a system service that runs". I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '. There is nothing without the appearance of HD in the window of thw work? Everything else works fine and the calculation is virus-free. What should I do?

  • How to open .docx and excel file extensions "xls" files

    I bought a new computer with Windows 8 and can't understand why I can't even open such documents in Windows 7... example extensions: .docx and .xls etcI

    How can I have access to a remedy for this problem?

    I bought a new computer with Windows 8 and can't understand why I can't even open such documents in Windows 7... example extensions: .docx and .xls etcI

    How can I have access to a remedy for this problem?

    .docx and doc are Microsoft Word files. xls files are Microsoft Excel files.
    The reason why you can not open them is probably that you don't have Microsoft Office or any compatible application installed.

    Despite what you think apparently, Windows 8, nor any other version of Windows, has never included Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, nor any other significant application software. These programs must be purchased, either by themselves or as part of Microsoft Office.

    If your old computer, running Windows 7, came up with one or more of them, it was because the seller who sold delivered as part of the package he has sold, not because this version of Windows came with it. Sellers of some, but not all, do the same with Windows 8 computers (but if they do, it is very likely that a trial version).

    Hi JRCLNSIN100,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         What is the disk you use to reinstall?

    ·         Is this a recovery or reinstalling the disc you are using?

    ·         When exactly do you get this error message?

    ·         What is the edition of Windows Vista, you try to install?

    ·         How old is the drive that you are using?

    ·         How are you starting the installation process?

    After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

    First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

    To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

    To perform a flat installation of Windows Vista, follow these steps.

    Note The hard disk must have at least 3 GB of free space on the disk for the Windows Vista installation files. The hard disk must have at least 15 GB of additional disk space to install Windows Vista. For more information about system requirements for Windows Vista, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/editions/SystemRequirements.mspx

    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.
    2. Start Windows Explorer.
    3. In Windows Explorer, click to select the drive for the Windows Vista installation disc.
    4. On the Edit menu, click select all.
    5. On the Edit menu, click copy.
    6. Click to select the hard disk you want to contain the flat installation files.
    7. On the file menu, point to new, click the folder, type Windows Vista Setupand then press ENTER.
    8. Double-click the Windows Vista Setup program, and then click Paste on the Edit menu.
    9. Double-click Setup.exe, and then follow the instructions that appear.

    See the link below for more information on flat installation.

    This problem can also occur if the firmware of the DVD drive is defective or obsolete.

    If the step above does not resolve the question suggests that you install the latest drivers for the DVD player on the computer.
