Performance HP tools open in Notepad

HP Pavilion a6400f Desktop PC running Windows Vista when I click Start, click Help and Support, click on (hp get help performance and maintenance) click performance tools. It is a new problem, MOST OF THE PERFORMANCE TOOLS OPEN WITH ILLISIBLE NOTEPAD.

Welcome to the HP forum lphil,

Easy solution:

If you're lucky, maybe just the name of the file has changed: in other words, the executable file name extension has been changed from filename.exe to filename.exec or file name. "some thing-other-than-"exe"

IF this is the case, you can change the .exe file extension and you're gold.

  • Information on the performance and tools: Visual effects adjust - adjust for a performance/appearance: influence on the photos and video?

    When I enter: Information on the performance and tools: Visual effects adjust - adjust for a performance/appearance, it affects pictures and video? What is the display of the video?

    I really like what I see with better appearance. But my laptop is slow a little, and I get this Green spinning circle and programs not opening.

    But since I intend to make some photos and video editing in the computer and watch a few videos, I wondered if the work will be compromised.

    I have a few tutorials to speed up my laptop, but can someone also suggest to speed up my laptop here? I'm always willing to learn some things.

    Hello

    You can optimize the performance of different options in the information on the performance and the tool window. This will not affect the performance of the images and videos. Adjust for best appearance to set the computer to enhance the appearance, it allows many features aero that improves the display quality of the computer.

    To optimize the performance of the computer follow the steps provided in the link below and check if that helps:

  • Error 2147467259 DB tools open connection

    I wrote a labview 2014 32-bit program to extract data from a MS SQL Server database.  I used the 32-bit ODBC data source program for generating a DSN file.  The code works fine when I run the labview VI, but when I'm building the program and run the executable file, I get an error:

    ADO Error: 0x80004005
    Exception occured in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. in NI_Database_API.lvlib:DB Tools Open Connec (String).vi->RecipeSelect.vi
    

    I created a UDL file with the tool 'Create data link' LabVIEW and I still get the same error, even if the VI works fine.  I also tried a connection string.  All the research I did on this error indicate a problem between the data sources in 32-bit and 64-bit.  I tried to create both sense and still get the same error, but the VI still works fine on the same computer in labview.

    Any suggestions on what to try next?  Thanks in advance.

    The file path is hard coded.  I tried to run on multiple machines with the same error.  Since then, I created a new project and began to rebuild the code from scratch.  I think something in my old files are corrupt as the new code works after I build it.  * crossed fingers * thank you for taking the time to respond and try to help!  Very appreciated

    Edit: I tried to change a lot of things to get my project work I don't know what I could have messed up in the process.  Mark as resolved because the original problem is so complicated, it was probably my own mistake with the creation of the DSN/UDL file or maybe even a small problem with our SQL Server.  He has since been restarted.

  • Photos keep opening in Notepad, even if they are saved in jpeg form.

    When I opened the pictures I saved in the jpeg format, they open in Notepad and all I get is code.  When I look in the folder my pictures under each image, there is the name of the photo, and then .jgp.  When I click it to open it, it opens in Notepad and in the upper left corner, it will be the original name of the image with the .jpeg, but there also - notebook.  Here is an example.  Cat.jpg - notebook.  How can I fix it?  About to go crazy!
