None of my programs will open or run, cannot run the files downloaded from the internet, either to try to resolve it.
I am running windows XP Pro and am unable to open any programs at all. I was uninstalling some programs add and remove applications in Control Panel and I think I deleted a necessary program, file or something because right afterwards none of files or programs would be open. I get the error the file extension that is not associated with this file. I can't open the system restore program to restore the computer to an earlier configuration. I tried to get a regestry cleaner to fix regestery errors, but none of those I work. I am able to get on the internet and e-mail but am afraid the computer because it cannot be started again. I tried to load a regestery cleaner from the internet but nothing will load or run it. Help! I also tried to change the program that opens files, but went wrong, and now all files are associated with windows internet explorer 8. I have no idea how I did all this and come back to this computer from the place of the computer because the old hard drive died on me and they put in another. It was working fine until I felt the need to clear up disk space and delete some old programs. I'm sure I messed up and deleted a file that was necessary to open others. I don't have the XP disk to try a fix and nothing in the pages of microsoft download will run. Oh please I don't want to take that back to the computer type that will charge me an arm and a leg. I just made him pay $ 200 last week. Any help will be great.

- Click Start Task Manager.
- Select the HP software from the list.
- Click end task.

Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again. "I did it. I also tried to close all programs running on the computer and it does not help. I also tried to restart the computer, and it also does nothing. If anyone has any ideas that might be useful please let me know.

(b) click on search, find handle or DLL (Dynamic Link Library) in the tool menu.
(c) type the drive letter of the USB device in the handle or DLL substring text box and press the search button.
(d) find the process and its PID (process identifier) in the following box.
(e) with a view to the processes of the system tree, look for the process according to the dialog box find handle or DLL.

Program windows not fully displayed - cannot see the buttons
Problem:
1. After selecting the program HP PC Recovery CD/DVD Creator, the Welcome window appears but is not displayed entirely. The portions and right at the bottom of the window are transparent. I don't see other buttons that I should be able to select. I also try to use the program end button (red box with white x) located on the top right of the window, and the program will not end. To close the program, I have to finish the process via the Windows Task Manager.
2. when the HP automatic update alert window returns to the part at the bottom right of my office, letting me know that updates are available and to ask if I would like to install the updates, the alert window is not completely visible. I don't see other buttons that I should be able to select.
3. in both cases (1 and 2), if I place my pointer over the window and select Enter then the program will proceed to the next step. If a pedagogical (pop-up) window on the top of the main window of the program, I am able to see this pop-up window in its entirety, and then select options as needed.
Question: What is the cause? How can they be corrected?
Thanks in advance for any input. Please see information system below.

Original title: ((Vista)) I can't install anything!
So, basically, I have a Windows Vista. I'm using Google Chrome, but that doesn't really count because I tried on all browsers. When I try to download something, it comes up with something like that... "Windows cannot find"C:\Users\User\Downloads\ ((name of the program here))". Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. "This has nothing to do with a name of typing correctly. I'm downloading at the wrong place? If Yes, where can I download it?

Whenever I open the bridge, I get the Message "bridge has encountered a problem and cannot read the cache. Please try to purge central cache in the cache preferences to correct the situation. »
Please suggest solution.
Hi Adam,.
Well, you purge the Cache?
If not, did you go to the preferences, go to the caching and the last option is to purge the Cache.
Also @Debbie: you could try to rebuild settings. To do this off bridge and then restart Bridge. However, having fingers on shift-Option-control at the start of Bridge. Keep until a window offering to reset preferences, purge entire thumbnail Cache and reset Standard workspaces. I suggest you choose the first two.
And Abdul, you might want to try that as well.
