I can't open some important programs...

My screen goes black when I try to open something that needs permission to continue. I'm trying to open a program, say that Fraps. A small window that says continue or cancel is supposed to pop up but instead, my screen goes black. But I can easily get out of it by pressing on enter or escape, but it won't let me open the program. How can I fix?

Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and start safe mode.  Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure.  To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode.  Then run a complete system scan.

If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem.  To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore.  Click on the box that says show more restore points.
-
You can check the corrupted system files.  Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.

Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log.  To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.  Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  • I can't open some programs and also what indicating computer it is said GfxUI has stopped working. do what Mathilde?

    I can't open some programs and also when the computer start he says that gfxui has stopped working. What I have to do work?

    Hi, Rosemary,

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

    Without knowing your OS or the exact error message and everything Word to Word or the manufacturer, brand and model of your computer (especially the chipset), it is very difficult to provide you with clear instructions or recommendations; However, here is a link to another thread where someone had the same problem and there are two solutions (both different and both worth a try - if the first doesn't work, try the second): http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/gfxui-has-stopped-working/e7f88c22-7c58-4fc2-9ae9-667556d0c4fc.

    If this does not help, check out some of the alternative links on this problem in the following search: http://www.bing.com/search?q=gfxui%20has%20stopped%20working&PQ=gfxUI&SP=2&QS=AS&SK=AS1&sc=8-5&form=BB07SS&pc=BB07.  If you want, you can refine the search to include more information, such as your operating system or suite of the message and the results could be more useful.

    I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, post back with the above-mentioned information that would help as well as what you have tried and what happened when you did.

  • I can't open some of the files on the desktop!

    Hello!

    I can't open some files on my desktop computer. I can open the trash, I can open shortcuts, I can open the desktop.ini files, I can open DOCX files, I can open EXE files and I can open the VBS files. By opening the files, I mean a double click on the file icons. But I can't open the image (JPG or PNG) files.
    If I try a double click on any image file on my desktop nothing happens! If I click with the right button on the file icon and choose Preview is the same, nothing happens! But I can open files stored in the folder my pictures in C:\Users\User, either by double-clicking on file icons or by right-clicking them and choosing an excerptof images. Also, if I copy or move files that I have on the desktop to the images folder and then all of a sudden I can open them! I can double-click on the file icon or right-click and choose Preview. But if I return these files on the desktopand then I can't open them! What gives?
    I guess it has something to do with the security of files and folders settings. But I don't know what is wrong or what to do. Note that all these files, essentially all of the files stored in C:\Users have been restored from a backup file Acronis disk full (Full_backup_of_Vista_ (ST1PT1) .tib). I know that during the process of recovery of backup in Acronis True Image Home 2011 I left the default setting for the option 'recover files with their original security settings'.
    Leaving the possibility to 'recover files with their original security settings' on a led the old user account SID are listed in the list of security of files and/or folders (that is, S-1-5-21-3623811015-3361044348-30300820-1013). That is why, I decided to remove all of the restored files and bring them back again, but this time I unchecked the option 'recover files with their original security settings'. In this way, the files inherit security settings of the they are stored in folders.
    So I'm now always having problems with file security, even after the removal of the above option and restore files once more.
    There is no number unknown SID listed for these files now. All I see is the group Administrators , the SYSTEM group and Samir who is my user account. The same thing is shown for the Desktop folder. So why this would be a problem now? At the same time, the images folder has the account number S-1-5-21-2544407746-3790578479-2786702567-1000 unknown and yet I have no problem opening the files in this folder? So what's happening? What should I do?

    Problem solved!

    I used a software called ReProfiler that allows the user to manipulate user profiles in Winwows directly, without having to create a new user account. Because let's face it: having to create a new user account for the sole purpose of getting a new user profile belongs at the time of Windows 98! This procedure of old school does not belong to a Mac modern as Vista or 7!
    There is actually a way to delete a user profile in Windows Vista, without deleting a user account. It can be found by going to...
    1. start
    2 Control Panel
    3. system and Maintenance
    4 system
    5 Advanced System. This will display the system properties.
    6. in this dialog box, you click on settings, where it says "profiles". A new dialog box appears and allows you to delete selected users profiles. But there is no option to create a new. Why not Microsoft?...
    It's frustrating to not be able to continue to do things in the system and have to rely on third-party applications like ReProfiler.
    So I used ReProfiler reassign my user account on my user profile. I have done that and restarted the computer. But he seems to have no effect on the issue I had with the files on the desktop. But after deleting some files from the office, it started to work normally. I remember deleting a particular program shortcut that gave me the error message if I went to properties, Security tab. This shortcut was left over after you uninstall the program itself. After the removal of that thing, I was able to open any file on the desktop, even the photo files. So, I'm not sure if it was turned or a combination of things that this point sort, but I'm glad it still works.
    Lessons: Never restore ntuser.dat, ntuser.dat.log, ntuser.ini files when you restore files to a folder from a backup file users. This will probably mess things up. In addition, does not restore the security settings for the files and records of these files and folders to restore. Instead, they inherit the security settings appropriate to their parents. I think it's how I presented this problem in the first place.

    1st.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER on it
    machines, including those that you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security - reset all Zones by default level - apply / OK

    not better?

    Close IE and try again IE or IE with no Addons

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install

  • save emails as files text or doc that can be opened by other programs, such as word or program credits doc.

    Hi, I am looking to save important legal email a text or document file that can be opened by word or a generic document program because lawyers have no firefox. Any help appreciated thanks

    The integrated capability that you can use is to save e-mail messages in HTML format. File | Save under... and you select HTML as the file type. It will be opened in a browser, or even a word processor. But they can be complicated to transport since there are often an auxiliary file for embedded images.

    I hope that if you save messages in format eml native, your lawyer email client should be able to open them.

    In both cases, the ImportExportTools add-on - it can make your life easier if you need to record a large number of messages.

    I think a safer option for you would be to print to PDF. If your OS has not this built, there are various free PDF writers. My own experience with the lawyers, it's that they seem to like the PDF format, so that they are likely to have a PDF reader. And of course Windows had PDF display and built-in since Windows 7 capacity-building.
