How to stop the computer to ask what program to use when you try to run a file ".exe"?
Whenever I select a program runs it prompts me to choose what program should I use to run the program. He acts like he can not find the "ini" file which allows to go along with the program. The "ini" file usually defines the settings for the program works. It sets up the lanes for the necessary files can be found. How my computer is, he cannot understand the program that wants to be run because the definitions are not defined. What can I do to fix this broken configuration? All this began after I got rid of a bunch of malicious programs.
It seems that your .exe file associations have been lost. To restore file associations, perform the procedure in the following site specific associations to exe. Make sure to read the Special Summit as note specifically relates to lost .exe associations:

What format to use when you try to download videos on instagram or even try to email them
This info is not easy to find on the site Instagram. Seems like Instagram want video to be uploaded from your phone. I guess that means he expects H.264 video. Please try it first and see if it works.

Original title: program compatibility Application Applications App Apps game games Legacy Crash crashes Hang hangs
I get this message when you try to run an old MS-DOS - based program in Win-7 Ultimate 64-bit.
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer system information to see whether you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher. »
I understand that I am under a 64 bit OS, but is it possible to get this program to run? I was wondering if anyone has tips :)
Hi Bcopeland,
Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.
Based on the information, you are trying to install and use an old ms - dos program based in Windows-7 Ultimate 64-bit.
The problem is a software that was created for Windows 95, 98, and Windows XP has no way to work correctly with an operating system that didn't even exist when the software was written. However, the error message you get normally means that you have a 32-bit software that you are trying to install on a 64-bit system.
You can check the compatibility of the program with Windows 7, in the Compatibility Center.
If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
a. click right on the program.
b. click Properties.
c. click on the tab compatibility.
d. Select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or whatever to use the system, the program was executed successfully.
Here is an article that gives you more information on this:
Make older programs in this version of Windows
If the problem persists, you can get in touch with the software vendor to see for the latest version of the program to use the same system of 64-bit Windows 7.
Hope the helps of information.
If you need assistance in the future to resolve any issues related to Windows, post your query and we will be happy to help you.

How to open the downloaded file Lightroom_6 LS11?
He asked what program to use to open it.
Just to get back to you. It was an expensive trip but I thought about it and it is actually very simple. For some reason, the ".exe" was omitted from the file. When I renamed the file with the name extension, he began the launch. Incredible. In any case, thank you for taking the time to help me.

ORIGINAL TITLE: Product key
How/where can I find the 25-digit product key requested by Microsoft when I try to open a file on a SanDisk?

What kind of file is it? What is its extension (the characters
After the dot at the end of the file name)? And what program is trying
to open it and needs a product key?Please answer these questions, but I'll also venture a guess: you
try to open a file with Microsoft Word and Word .docx or .doc
request a product key.
If this is the case, in all probability, your computer comes with a trial version
version of Microsoft Office pre-installed. Your trial period is now in place and if
you want to continue using it, you must buy a copy and get a

* Original title: Windows Media PLayer
I have Windows Media Player version 12 installed but when you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the picture. Please see image attached.
Even if I see that I can change the version of the file in a different format, I have the same problem with videos on websites that I can not of course change the format before playing these.
I managed to fix the problem for about 20 minutes by flattening my computer re - install the operating system and this resolved until all updates have been through, and then it disappeared again. I tried many codecs packs and this still does not help.
My system is running Windows 7 and Media Player version is 12.0.7601.18840, which tells me that Media Player is the most recent version.
Please can someone help?
Open uninstall a program in windows and in the left click on the feature to turn on or off windows. Clear the check box of the window Media Player, and then click ok. This will uninstall the drive, and then restart.
After restarting the same steps, now, check the box for the same and perform a restart and if all goes well it should solve the problem.
Note: Make sure that Windows is up-to-date.
