• When I try to open a PDF file with adobe Acrobat reader Windows Media Center automatically appears.

  When I try to open a PDF file with adobe Acrobat reader, windows media center automatically opens. How to prevent this? I just want to open the PDF file with Acrobat reader.

  The solution I think. If you right-click on one of the files and select open the file locations it now combined the file with adobe reader.

  Yes - you simply need to change the associated file (and path) back to Adobe Reader.  (If that's your choice PDF reader.)

  If you did this:

  Press the Windows Logo and R key at the same time to bring up the dialog box RUN.
  Once you have the dialog box up, type in the following command and press OK...

  cmd /k ftype AcroExch.Document

  That he return with? Should be something like:

  AcroExch.Document = "C:\Program files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" '%1'

I checked and my spyware and security is up to date. Help, please.  And please don't give me the same answers I have already tried.  Please be precise too.  In simple terms.

• Windows Media Center not opening

  Every time I open Windows Media Center, it says windows checks for a solution for this problem.  Then it closes. Media Center does not open.

  Hello jodoloy,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  I uninstall and then reinstall Windows Media Center, to see if that helps to clear all corruption.

  Uninstall and reinstall the Windows Media Center:
  Step 1.
  Uninstalling in Windows Media Center:
  1. go to start and in the search type "Turn Windows willing or not.
  2. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
  3. search for multimedia and uncheck the brand in the face of Windows Media Center.
  4 restart the computer
   
  Step 2.
  Reinstall the Windows Media Center:
  1. go to start and in the search type "Turn Windows willing or not.
  2. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
  3. find the multimedia functions and place a check mark in front of Windows Media Center.
  4 restart the computer.

  Now you are able to open Media Center? If this isn't the case, then go to the event viewer and look for the application event log. See if there are errors for Media Center and then then list them here.

  Please answer back with an update and let us know the result of your problem.

• Open the Media Center window when opening other programs

  Original title: window Media Center

  I can't open a program or a game. Whenever I clik on game or program, WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER icon opens.

  It seems that the .lnk and .exe file association I messed up somehow.  Running the .lnk (shortcut) / difficulties of association .exe (executable) should solve the problem.

• Change the shortcut to open Windows Media Center

  I am often embarrassed by Windows Media Center that opens unexpectedly when I type a shortcut (Windows key + Alt + Enter, I think). I would like to delete this shortcut or replace it with a different combination of keys I would ever use to prevent the program from opening unexpectedly. How can I do this if possible? Thanks in advance.
