• I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file.

  Original title: registry exe problem

  I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file. This also occurs when you download the software, which makes it difficult, because the file is not on the pc yet. All solutions?

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. 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 sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click 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 hope this helps. Good luck.

• My mother in disk hard laws burned and I replaced it with a new one when I went to reload the operating system, it would not accept the access key. How can I get a new one? with out having to buy new software?

  How can I get a new access key for windows xp pro?

  Hello

  There are several potential issues at stake here.

  First of all, make sure that you use the Windows product key is for the full XP Pro version not the upgrade version.

  Secondly, many manufacturers of computers for the last few years have provided computers with Windows XP installed, but a product key of Vista on the side.  If this is your situation, you need to call the manufacturer of your computer for the installation media or call microsoft to "downgrade rights."

  Thirdly, if you use a product key that was provided for Windows XP Service Pack 3, and you use the older installation media, it will not accept this product key.  You need to get your hands on support for XP Service Pack 3.

  Hope that helps.

• No satellite L855-B511 - how to activate the operating system Windows - no serial key

  Hello

  I had to replace the HDD on my L855-B511, I tried to create a recovery media to replace the HARD drive by using both DVD and USB sticks, but it didn't work because I think that the HARD disk has been corrupted.

  There is no license sticker windows at the rear of the laptop or under the battery (only the windows logo 8), so I downloaded an app to retrieve the product key from the registry, but after reinstalling windows, I tried to turn it on, I discovered that the product key is not valid (tried the application on another machine and it gave me a product key different than that on the sticker).

  is there a way I can reactivate windows without having to purchase a new license?

  > is it possible I can reactivate windows without having to purchase a new license?

  There is unfortunately no way to do it. In my opinion, your problem is clearly guaranteed service provider and the question should swap HARD drive for free. This model is fairly new, so I assume that the warranty is still valid. You could tell the guys to service this recovery media creation didn't work and ask if you can get a free recovery media.

  If you want to fix on your path you must order the new recovery disc. This laptop model is available on the Middle East so I don't know if you can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx but you can check it out.

  Start by creating a recovery kit. See the following link for the procedure:

  Learn how to create recovery DVDs or to save a recovery image on a USB flash drive to restore all the original software, in the case of a computer problem major.

  Remove the 1 TB of HARD drive pre-installation and install 250 GB SSD. Use the recovery kit and perform the recovery of the system. See the following link for the procedure:

  HP System Recovery allows to reinstall or restore a HP with Windows 8 computer to the way it was at a previous time.

  Hi centi,.

  1. Why did you start the windows recovery environment by pressing the F8 key?
  2. do you get an error at startup of the system?

  If you are unable to start Windows in normal mode, try the following steps:
  a. boot to the Windows recovery environment by pressing the F8 key.
  b. on the window that says "select an operating system to repair" click Cancel to see Windows Recovery Options window, and then select command prompt.
  (c) in the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER: Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd
  Output Type d and hit enter to close the command prompt.
  f. restart the computer in normal mode and check if the computer starts Windows successfully.

  My office was attacked by malware. I have run virus scan and all updates that were available. When the operating system starts, a window opens asking me to "choose the program you want to open this file: file: rundll32.exe.". There are recommended programs and other programs, but I'm fairly certain that none of them are correct. Can anyone help direct me in the right direction to solving this problem? Every program I try to open, translates into an opening by asking the same question, but the file name changes to whatever program I am trying to the window. Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  Just in case there are persistent pieces of malware here is the method of complete elimination.
  .exe question difficulty in the next message.

  Try Mode safe mode with networking - repeatedly, press F8 that you start.

  The best two methods allow scanners to run and/or AV.exe out of the way or removing.

  1.
  CTRL SHIFT ESC - task manager OR right click on the taskbar - task manager

  Process tab - complete the process on AV. EXE and continue with the uninstall Guide.

  If necessary use start - computer or Windows Explorer to navigate to

  C:\Program Malwarebytes Anti - Malware\mbam.exe or where it is installed - if
  necessary right click on the shortcut of Malwarebytes - Properties - tab - target line to see where it
  is installed.

  Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now) and
  Double-click it, and then run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with
  other programs according to the needs. Use this method to others as needed - NOT assume all
  a program deletes all or that it is no other malicious software.

  ---------------------------------------------------

  2.
  Another method is to use them:

  Use Process Explorer to "Suspend" the process will not stop

  Then use AutoRuns to delete the malicious program startup items.

  Now use UnLocker to delete the files in the malware.

  You may need to do a file at a time.
