No program opening in Windows 7

I'm having a problem that is really weird. I installed Windows 7 Professional and immediately set to work some drivers and software, that I'd need installation. I used Firefox to install most of the others, restarted for each, and then I tried to open some of them.
Most of the programs had more or less the same problem: they don't show up. No windows, task bar presence or systray icons. So I tried to reinstall, but the installers do not work either. 'Invisible' programs, all appear in the Task Manager process tab when I try to launch them, load two or three MB in memory and then stop and never progress beyond that.
I am at a loss - I can't think of anything that could cause this. So far, I've found that Firefox, Pidgin, Avast! Antivirus, VistaBootPRO, the Razer Barracuda his card configuration utility and even Windows Media Player are not opening (although the sound works fine). IE, Windows Media Center and the Task Manager are so far the only programs I've been able to open. Everything seemed to work very well two or three discounts to zero there. I can't figure out what it could be - I uninstalled the antivirus and software UAC disabled thinking that may be it, but still no luck, and now uninstall programs not even loading.

Make sure you have the latest video, the chipset drivers installed with a BIOS updated. Also, can you check the Action Center in Windows 7 for all messages and possible solutions?

Was this an upgrade or clean installation?

Click Start
Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
Click on "Run as Administrator"
At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

This will check for any breach of integrity

Restart the system, if this does not work, try the following:

1. Insert the DVD of Windows 7
2. restart your computer
3. When asked if you want to boot from your DVD player, do it.
4. Select your language, click Next.
5. click on "repair your computer".
6. Select the operating system you want to repair. Andre Da Costa http://adacosta.spaces.live.com http://www.activewin.com

  • Some programs open new window instead of a new tab in the open window

    Firefox 17.0.1. I have the option "Open new windows in a new tab instead" together, I use the addon of Tree Style Tab 0.14.2012111201 (and other unrelated tabs or windows), and I have several profiles. It seems that since I started to use several profiles some programs (help of MediaMonkey, for instance) insist on opening a new window of Firefox. If I select one or several profiles currently open it says "Current usage profile". Some programs who want to open a website to view their help files open a tab in the current browser, as window expected and desired. But most programs cause choose it display a profile box.

    Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the - No.-remote switch or have defined the MOZ_NO_REMOTE = 1 environment variable (Control Panel > system > advanced > environment variables).

    If you need to have several open profiles at the same time then start the following instances with the - no - remote line switch.

    You can't send links from other programs to a Firefox instance that is started with the - non-interrupteur to distance.
    In this case, you must drag the links in a Firefox window or paste the link into the address bar.

  • All programs open to Windows Media Player!

    Tried to download recordings of the Zoom recorder via USB.  Songs downloaded from my music library, but now I can't open the file.  Repetitions of Windows Media Player "problem when downloading" message.  Windows Media Player icon is present on ALL programs.  I can't open any program as they are all "locked" in Windows Media Player.  Help!

    Hi Richard,

    If you can access the internet somehow, if you are using Vista, go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll to the EXE and click or double-click it to run the program to restore EXE file associations. Once done, do the same for LNK entry. That should restore your programs. If you are using Windows 7, go to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html . If you are using XP, go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm.

    If you are unable to access the internet, download files to a flash drive on a good PC, load the files on the bad PC desktop and run them.  Then restart.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Problems with the opening of attachments when the user has restristed privilege to run executable code from Program Files and Windows folders.

    I'm trying to prevent users from running potentially dangerous files. According to the Windows policies so I put. Users can run any application Program Files, files (x 86), windows, and folder to all users of the program office. Users have no permission to write anything in this files. When the user double clicks for example document.doc on his desk - document opens fine with MS Word. But when the user tries to open this document in attachment directly (by selecting open with MS Word, instead of the economy) - he sees an error - "this action is limited by local politics. Ask your system administrator. "(not exact text).

     So I want, users able to open attachments from Thunderbird automatically, but not able to run any application or link, except Program Files, Program Files (x86), Windows and all users' desktop folder. How can I get this result?
    

    Thanks in advance.
    Calvo is serious.

    PS Sorry for my bad English. It is not my mother tongue.

    Thanks for responding.
    I discovered what was going on.
    This strange "bug" affects multiple computers with Windows 7 Ultimate in my case.
    When you create a SRP (software restriction policies) it creates two rules by default to run programs: windows folder and the Program Files folder. I manually add "C:\Program Files (x 86)" in places without restriction. BUT Windows and Program Files folder to default rules directly, but through registry keys. And this part seems difficult. You CAN run the executable files of Program Files. You CAN run the Program Files (x 86) executables. But if Thunderbird or Firefox try to run MS Word or excel or editor for.doc or *.odt opening or another file - downloaded files running programs blocked by SRP.
    In order to fix this, simply replace the rules for indirect paths like % HKLM/software/microsoft/windows... etc % with direct, for example "C:/Windows" and "C:/Program Files /". After that, everything works fine. Attachments and downloaded files automatically opens without a problem.

  • When I open a window I get C:\program files\mozilla firefox\eula exe; then I don't get any web page

    When I open a window I get C:\program files\mozilla firefox\eula exe; file not found

    Perform a cleaning (re) install:

    • Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
    • http://www.Mozilla.com/Firefox/all.html
    • Uninstall your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before installing this copy of the Firefox installer.
    • Do not erase personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

    Hello Slwaldaias,

    Thanks for your post.  Have you ever had two monitors connected to your computer?  If so, this is probably still in place and tries to open the windows on the other monitor.  You can correct this by ensuring that your computer settings are for a single monitor.  If you have never had a second monitor, the first step would be to scan your computer for malware.

    Use the malicious software removal tool to perform your analysis.

  • The Windows Setup program opens each time a program is open

    My setup issues are not quite like those posted. My Windows Installer is not only appear at any time, but rather opens whenever I want to open a program. I click on explore, and I get the window. It passes through the preparation to installation and the program opens. It should not only be the program well. When I tried to open this Web page, it came, and then when I wanted to post this comment he came again. So I had to wait until he is 'install', and then I could post.  I did a system restore now for something completely different, and once I did, and then it started to happen. I also decided to restore back to an earlier date, and then I got the message unable to restore. I tried to re-boot in safe mode, but it wouldn't take my password! Thank God it's Friday!

  • Program opens off the screen in a multiple monitor on Windows XP configuration

    Original title: I URGENTLY need help with an XP several problem of monitor!

    Our company has recently migrated to a new office and I got stuck with the displacement of all the computer systems to the new office. To make a long story short, one of our employees use four 4 monitors. After many difficulties, I finally got the monitors working as a horizontal screen with scrolling smoothly from left to right.

    However, I have a BIG problem. One of the programs of this employee uses disappears (flies off the screen right most) when maximized. I can bring it by moving to the right screen, but I can't understand how to do that a permanent solution. ANYONE - your help would be appreciated. Is it a matter of swapping the screens? It was rather difficult to get properly prepared screens because it did not meet the order, I tried. Anyway, these people are rare flowers and get bent out of shape, if the program opens on the designated window. Is there a way to specify which window it can open on whether it can be remedied at all times?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Petrovsky9000,

    Have you tried disabling 3 additional screens and then by testing the application? If you need help of deactivation and activation of the monitors, you can use the following as a guide:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/Setup/hwandprograms/monitors.mspx

    If you always lose the application when the window is maximized, try the following:

    1. With 1 active display, maximize the application.
    2. In the display properties window, set the resolution of the single screen for a step down from where it is now and apply the changes.
    3. Accept the new resolution, and now to see if your application is in the center of the screen.
    4. Now go ahead and set the resolution to what it was and and apply the changes.
    5. Make sure the application is always visible and maximized correctly. If so, go ahead and turn the other 3 views and see if everything works properly.
    Here are a few steps that solved the problem for my own systems in the past. I hope this helps!
