my computer opens each program with wordpad. __
Hello
my pc opens all my programes with wordpad.
I had a program and I had to choose which I use to open it and my error, I chose wordpad
but now he does with everything even though my pc is turned on some open thing in wordpad.
What is the executables or desktop shortcuts? In other words, if you go to the executable it will always open with wordpad or it opens correctly?
There is a difference, but the same solutions might work.
(1) try creating a new account and see if it works correctly then. If so, you can just transfer everything through and delete the old.
2) fix with regedit:
1. click on Start Menu, type regedit in start search and press ENTER. Right click on regedit search results and run it as an administrator.
2. navigate to the following registry branch:
NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]
Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original default Windows 7 (probably .lnk or .exe). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts.
3. delete the subkey named UserChoice.
4. exit the registry editor.

Original title: bad image.
I get two errors of bad image whenever I open a program or start a computer, for each program. the error that says "the application or DLL is not a valid windows image. "Please check this against your installation diskette" I don't have any disk and don't know what to do.
These file names, look a little suspicious and didn't get good Google search results, so I think that the first thing to do is to tell us a little about your system. Now you can enjoy when you report a problem, provide you with any error messages you see and not a part of it (not paraphrase either).
The second thing to do is to try to be reasonably sure that your system is free of malware and then if you have these problems, you can fix them (which would be the third thing to do).
I still wonder why the Microsoft Support Engineer made you reference to an article that makes no sense at all...
The first thing to do:
Unfortunately, MS Answers forums does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, so we don't know anything on your system.
Because the Microsoft Answers forum does not ask for any type of information system when a new question is asked so we don't know anything about your system. Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.
Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.
Provide information on your system, the better you can:
What is your system brand and model?
Your system have IDE or SATA disks?
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?
You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
The second thing to do:
Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/They can be uninstalled later if you wish.The third thing to do:Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

Copied pictures on a computer using Windows XP
Disc will not load on my laptop with Vista
Is there a program to load the disk or is it just copies of some images. So just copies, then the disc will not 'load' because there is no program to run. Insert the disc in the drive and click Start / computer / player Disck and right click it and select Explorer. You should be able to see the folders and files with your photos. You can or the disc appears to be blank or missing?
If the problem is that by clicking on the file does not open a program to display it, and then confirm that your Vista machine has software installed to read the file type of the images (they may require that you get a different software to view what they are).
If this isn't the problem, try to copy some files from the disc to your desktop computer and try to open them from there and see if that makes a difference. If so, then there is a problem with the drive to recognize the types of files, and then by selecting the appropriate program. You should maybe go to the web site of the manufacturer of the drive and download any driver, firmware and suitable for the machine AND your version of Vista. Install it and see if that makes a difference. Check out a few other discs and see if you have the same problem with them or if it's only this one disc.
What type of disc is (CD, CD - R, CD - RW, DVD,...)? Confirm that you can read stll the drive on the XP machine. Do you get the error on each machine and if so what do say EXACTLY?
I hope this helps. If not, tell me what happened with each step and try to answer all my questions.
Good luck!

I have the same problem and when I click on system restore I am invited again to choose a program to open it with... now what?
the windows system restore feature is a very important system.
and if it is defective or failed in some way, then this may be a sign that your whole system could be damaged or unstable.
what you can try is execution of the system via safe mode restore.
If this does not work yet, so the next step is to move your personal files, documents, photos and send boxes out of the system because the following methods that will help restore your system can put your personal files safe.
so after trying safe mode stage and or copy your personal files from the system, we can take the next steps.
