MS Word turned my office and all the icons have been changed to MS Word. Can't seem to get rid of.
I am running Windows7 Home Premium. All the icons on my desktop have changed the Word icon, and each icon now on MS Word. I was not able to change this icon back to what they should be. MS Word has hijacked my office.
Any help gratefully received
I could solve the problem by restarting, F8 to open the boot options, choose the repair mode and system restore to a few days before.
The user of the pc says it all started when they double click on a file and was prompted to choose a program to open the file with... they chose Microsoft Word and it changed all of their MS Word icons icons.
Hope this helps someone.

and everytime I open an icon it says that windows Photo Viewer cannot open it because I don't have the latest version of the photo viewer, I want just my icons back and open them the right program
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 CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. 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 do that click on 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.

When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

"wallpaper" and all the icons disapper every time I use the computer.
the desktop "wallpaper" and all the icons - disappear immediately after the mouse click on anything and does not return... I turn on 'star' whenever I want to change a program.
See if that fixes the problem:
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

If it doesn't, try a startup repair and / or a system restore using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft
Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.
Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.
If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.
Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

original title: Auto Adjust
Hello.
Whenever we start to use our computer, the screen goes black and the message 'Auto adjust is in Prgress'. Then, all of our screen is small and all the icons and pages are smaller than before.
I tried restoring the system that works and that gets our screen back to normal but every day that this Auto setting is coming and we can't seem to stop it.
Any help would be appreciated... Thank you
Try this:
Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.
Then:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution
Change the screen resolution
Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.
See you soon.

I bought a laptop broken at a friend's House. It is not used for the operating system windows 8 and wanted to use the Windows Vista operating system. Son of friends put in place this laptop for it, which was new when she bought in a retail store. Is there a way I can find out whether all the partitions have been deleted during the installation of Vista? I still see window 8 logo that I sign as an administrator user on this laptop.
When I log on this computer, the previous owner of the screen name is the only one that appears. I go in Control Panel, click Add another account, then I see the screen name I posted. I could use the WiFi from my PC at home that Win 7 OS.
When I started working with the laptop, I was able to bring control of the camera. Now I thought that the version that I use does not allow this operation. Be happy with any Positive help with my problems.
Thank you

Hello
Start > type CMD
Right click on CMD and select run as administrator
Type diskmgmt.msc
Press enter
This opens where you can view the partitions on the disk management system
Who has installed Windows Vista, your son or friend? Fact that they create a dual boot environment or reformat?
http://www.technorms.com/8438/Windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition
Multibooting requires separate partitions on the hard drive of your computer for each operating system. To create and format a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.
To check if a dual boot system in place, start > Type msconfig
Click on the Startup tab
You see two operating systems listed? Windows 8, Windows Vista
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/how-to-change-default-OS-for-dual-boot-system/
I think that Windows 8 has the following partitions
400 MB Partition Recovery (contains recovery information dated from before my upgrade)
- 300 MB EFI System Partition
- 350 MB Partition Recovery (contains information for recovery of my upgrade)
- 17 GB Partition Recovery
- 220 GB of Partition primary
Windows Vista has drive C and drive D
Done reformatting refers to a hard disk or partition that already has been formatted or that contains data on it. Reformatting a disk deletes all the data on the disk.

Until a few days ago I was able to print a PDF from Acrobat Reader ms in Windows 7. Now I get "the document could not be printed." The next panel says "there are no pages selected to print," even if all the pages have been selected. I've uninstalled Reader and reinstalled, but the problem remains. I also tried to repair the installation and that doesn't work anymore.
Thanks for the tip. It turned out that kind Reader has been commissioning in protected mode. I changed the setting and it prints now as before.
Thank you

Original title: I'm unable to open programs in my Start Menu.
When I click on an item in the beginning, all programs selection and click it, instead of opening, I get the name of the program, for example Microsoft Works... LNK and that's all I get the program never opens. I think somehow that the files have been changed to .lnk files but do not know how it happened
This happened for several months and I'm sure that there is an easy solution to return to what it was but don't know what. I tried the system restore, but that did nothing and don't know what to do next. Any ideas? Thank you... betseyd112

Suggestions:
1 do a system restore. Choice of date where you did NOT have this problem as your restore point.
Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.2 use this tutorial and rebuild your cache of icons: use Option. Easier.
