I can't open programs on my laptop.

• why I can't open programs without a box saying 'Open with' open chose the program

  I am an administrator on this computer, but opening programs on my desktop, I get a dialog box indicating "open with: choose a program to open this program with ' and there are recommended to choice and others to browse. But on my husband's office it can automatically open programs.

  I have no problem from my office on this computer, but other users have.

  What does it mean above?  It seems to be incompatible with your initial statement that "to open programs on my desktop, I get a dialog box indicating" open with: choose a program to open this program with... " »

  If you mean that when you double click shortcuts to applications (e.g., Word), you get the menu 'Open with' instead of opening the application, this means that the file association for exe files (applications) and probably also for lnk (shortcut) has been corrupted, probably by malware.

  To correct the file associations go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm read the documents at the top of the page, in particular the 'NOTE', then download and use the EXE File Association Fix and the difficulty of Association LNK (shortcut) file.

  Assuming that these steps fix your immediate problem, download, install, update and run full scans BOTH of the following free tools.  Do not run them both simultaneously.  The scans will take some time, so start an and then go for a non computer chore.  You can uninstall scanners when you're done, if you wish.

• I can't open AppStore on my laptop (acer, window 8.1)

  Hi guys

  I really need help, I've been almost a month now that AppStore does not work and I have tried EVERYTHING... Troubleshooting, cmd, reset pc... I try everything but still does not, and when I try to open the app store that page just said "my pc is not to connect to the internet, try later..."  I did everything even reset my laptop without affecting the files of my... PLEASE I NEED HELP

  Hello Sandy,

  Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

  According to the description of the problem, you can't use the app Store and make error "your PC is not connected to the internet, try again later." The error code may appear when there is a problem with the network connection. This can also occur due to problems with Microsoft account outside the app Store parameters settings.

  Please refer to the suggestions of Pinaki being answered on January 2, 2014 and try the method 1 and method 2 you already tried other methods.

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows8_1-windows_store/we-were-unable-to-connect-to-the-store-this-might/053fc49b-773d-461F-ADE6-6f3e377f626d

  If the problem persists, you can try to follow the steps given in the below mentioned thread. As this has helped a lot of people, so there might be a chance that it will also help you.

  App Store: "your PC only is not connected to the Internet."

  I hope this helps to solve the problem. Please come back for any clarification on this or any issue of Windows. We will be happy to help you.

• How can I open programs compatible with windows on my samsung galaxy tab

  I have a samsung galaxy tab, I want to open a planner for my nurse job, which I use on my laptop to put in my schedule to work, when I try to open it here he tells me it is not supported, I have to have internet explorer, is there a way I could make it work

  Thank you

  Ask those who take charge of the Samsung Galaxy Tab - it runs the Android - nothing Microsoft operating system.

  What is - the 'Planner' you speak of?  A web page?  (It may need ActiveX in this case).

• Outlook Exp tells me that I have a file, it can't remove and / 4 I can't open program

  After turning the power on, I clicked on Outlook Express on my desk.  The foundations of outlook express came but not records.  I received a message that says:

  Folder could not be displayed Outlook Express could not open this folder. Possible causes are: Low disk space. Not enough memory. Outlook Express

  Help, please

  Create a new Folders.dbx. First of all, make no hidden files.

  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

  The path to the message will be very similar to this:

  C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

  With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

  Note these possible side effects:

  When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.

  Hello

  always check the compatibility of vista programs on the link below

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

  If a program is compatible with vista you can try right click on the setup.exe, and then selecting run as administrator

  It is not compatible with vista, you can try running it in a previous operating system mode

  This does not work for all programs
