I want to run programs, but a program always comes up saying I need to open it with another program
How to disable or change this feature
Sherrie JoCole Hi,
· Did you do changes on the computer before the show?
· It happens with all programs or a specific?
I suggest you run Microsoft Fixit for the link of the article and if it helps:
When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program

You can also have a look at the link to the following article for more information:

I hope this helps.

When you try to start games, you are prompted to open it with another program
I try to go in one of my games (solitaire, hearts, etc.) a window pops up asking me what program I want to open with (microsoft word, adobe reader, internet Explorer software, etc.).
original title: Please help.
I try to go in one of my games (solitaire, hearts, etc.) a window pops up asking me what program I want to open with (microsoft word, adobe reader, internet Explorer software, etc..). and he never asked me that before. so I'm on this site and read the ways I can try to solve the problem, yet whenever I went to my control panel to add or remove programs or tried to do a system restore to try to solve my problem of game I would get the rundll32.exe message. so I don't know what to do. I want to just my games back.
then, I tried the regsvr32appwiz.cpl and I click ok and an open with window (internet Explorer, microsoft word, adobe, etc.) appears.
I don't see your original topic until now or we would have solved this issue earlier. Your rundll32 file is missing or damaged, or your association of executable file is messed up. Let's apply corrections to the two issues just to be safe.
Click on the link below. Download the rundll32 file (uploaded by me if it's safer). Save the file to your desktop. Right-click on the file and choose copy. Now click on start > run > paste the following command. c:\Windows\System32 > Ok. When the folder opens, you see a message that these files are hidden. In the left pane, click on the link to view the contents of this folder, as shown in the image on the second link below. Once the content is visible, right-click in the free space in the system32 folder and choose Paste. If you are prompted to replace an existing file, click Yes. Close all windows.
Click on start > run > type cmd > Ok. On the command line, right click and paste the following code exefile = assoc.exe > press ENTER. Close command prompt. Now try to open any executable file (a game or any application). Be advised, the file download will expire after 3 days. This is the result of the use of the free version of filemail.com.

Mozilla plugin status report says I need to update to Java Runtime Environment, and I'm on version 14.9.0. But when I download the update, all I get is 'Java 8 Update 40', which says that my computer is an older version. I can't find info on a later version of 14.9. I can't find this plugin in my computer-, it does not appear in the System Preferences window, or in the Applications folder (including utilities). How can I erase this upward? (Note: I have disabled the firewall).
As a Windows user, I have to plead ignorance on the specific details of Mac OS x. I hope you give you help Apple experts.

It is an Alps Touchpad on a laptop Acer 5520. Drivers that are displayed at the command prompt are Apoint.exe, ApntEx.exe and ApMsgFwd.ede. I have unblocked them several times, unlocked the program under Program Files, but it still appears saying the signature is not verified or there just need to be clicked on run.
Is this the driver you downloaded (copy / paste any link)?
http://global-download.Acer.com/GDFiles/driver/touchpad/TouchPad_ALPS_7.0.1101.11_Vistax86.zip?acerid=633639058787753178&Step1=notebook&Step2=aspire&step3=aspire 5520 & OS = V10 & LC = en & BC = Acer & SC = PA_7
Or look for good drivers here.
Welcome to Acer support
http://support.Acer.com/Uninstall your current drivers, or use the options to 'Roll back' through the back to previous drivers Device Manager. If you opt for a second attempt to install drivers later, see if there is no option to right-click on any setup.exe where you can select the "Run as Administrator" option. Temporarily disable all security installation software could also help.
They speak on disabling driver signing verification if you want to consider that (may be reckless?).

I think that the above covers it.
Start > Search box > type: cmd
When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". Provide the password/OK for the UAC area and opens a command prompt. Now, you can enter your orders.
Even if you run as administrator (not recommended), you should always altitude for some things that affect the system globally.
User - recommended configuration (Vista and Win7) accounts
You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all other Windows 7, Vista, and modern operating systems are operating systems multi-user with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.
In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges on Vista and Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it may require more work you want to do. Better not to get into a bad situation at first.
The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.
If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:
Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UACUncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

Backblaze in particular, but it would be for any backup or future software I guess.
Tags are stored in the file in your catalog. If you want to have them available after a disk crash, you should make regular, automated backups of your catalog on a different physical disk files. You can enable this in Lightroom via settings-> General-> Backup catalog. Note: you should always take backups of your photos, this feature in Lightroom doesn't have backups of your photos.
If at some point you consider moving away from Lightroom, you can also write tags to the photos themselves (or in the case of RAW for the XMP sidecar files). This can be done by selecting all the photos and metadata-> saves the metadata of files (Note: this will take a lot of time if you have selected a large number of photos). You can also turn on the option to automatically catalog settings-->--> write metadata changes automatically to XMP. Any tags written via this method is readable by any other photo app that I know.

Download seems to work as expected until I log on the net when the homepage doesn't seem to know that I downloaded the latest version.
It - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Page to start Firefox used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox. I think that Google assumes that you are using an older version of Firefox, as they hard-coded message 'upgrade' in this page - all versions of Firefox see this message.
From version Firefox 4, Firefox uses a 'local' with the address Start Page of Subject: House. It looks like the old start Page, but this isn't exactly the same thing.

I have VI moreover written in Labview 8.5. These programs can work well in labview 8.5. Should I convert these programs VI Labview 2012 when I want to run these programs in 2012 of Labview? Thank you.
LabVIEW 2012 can open the screw of from 6.0. But if you save them in 2012, you need to perform a "save for precedent" to get back them to 8.5.

My creative cloud subscription ran out. I've updated my contact information. Adobe is deducted from the money, but I can't find the serial number in my account for the product so can't get all running programs. I have the small card, but there are letters and numbers. Adobe doesn't let me put those in the fields of serial number. Is it possible I can get Adobe to help me because I'm paying for something that I can't use.

First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/
If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
It works for some programs, but not all.This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.
If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on setup.exe O run as admin.
See you soon.
