Hello

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. What is the full error message that you receive?
  3. You have security software installed on the computer?

Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • problem with the control panel.

    I have a laptop with win7 32 bit. I installed 3 days ago and yesterday when I want to go in Panel said that Explorer Windows has stopped working. Except that everything works perfectly.
    I don't know what to do, I tried everything. I did the test of memory, I checked all the files *. Cpl, I scan the viruses and malware (I have kaspersky internet security), I put the control panel to show me that I can access the options menu, it does not work, I tried to install the patch 296 934 and he said something like that is not suitable for the operating system... I'm desperate, I don't know what to do.
    Can you help me please?

    Please excuse my English.

    IF it works in safe mode, you can use a clean boot to diagnose what is causing the problem. It won't take long to test.

    Another thing to try is to create a new user profile and connect through that to see if a new user can access control panel. You can delete the new account if it is not helping, or transfer your data to the new account if it helps.

    You might also consider trying a repair to re install - install windows 'above' of your existing system which should NOT replace your existing installation or data.

    Or, if this happened recently, you could try a system restore to a point before the error occurred.

    How to do would be to install the appropriate program to open attachments if it is not installed, if it is installed the easiest to set the association would be to save a copy of the file on the desktop, right-click and select "open with...". "in the context menu, and then select the appropriate program if it is shown in the dialog box or use search to find it if it is not.

    Hi NoPCgeek,
     
    1. what program do you use to read the file present on the CD?
    2. What is the format of the file present on the CD?
     
    Before playing the files on the CD, make sure you cross check if you have the right program installed on the computer. If you have not installed the right program, then we recommend you to install the program that supports the file type and use them to read the files on the CD.
     
    You can also change the default program to read this file. The program opens the file only if the file format is supported by the latter.
    See Change that uses default Windows programs

  • Try to run programs .exe produces the error message "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "

    Hi all

    Help needed please.

    HP dx2250 microtower, running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, recently attacked by Vista Antispyware 2010. Norton 360 V3 dealt with rather late the virus, but the fall of the remains.

    I am unable to open any .exe file (program) on the desktop, start menu, or through the browser. I can access the programs in opening a data file, for example, double-click a .doc file opens MS Word, etc.

    The error message "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "

    I tried an automated solution that is available via the forums (exefix_cu.reg) and also a manual suggestion to change the registry, also available through the forum.

    I also splashed by and purchased Regcure, who seems to have done no difference despite who claims to have removed 1500 odd errors. So I'll be request the refund on that one.

    I scanned the forums and found a large number of similar problems, but not one that is as complete as this.

    Any help much appreciated

    Every time I try and open things on my computer, like internet explorer, windows player media, Aim, or my music etc. etc. files I get this message "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. create an association in the control panel of binding together.

    I don't know what that means. He started to do so after we have some malicious and unwanted software on our computer. I thought it was because of the problems, but it didn't disappear after the computer has been fixed. Can I run programs as an administrator. But how do I get it back, just double click and the program opens as usual?
