  Hello

  Basically, you need to restore default file Associations.

  When you double-click a. EXE file, the program may not start, instead, it can open in Notepad
  (view the contents of .exe), or you can jump into any other application.

  Weird, I click the Thunderbird icon, and the program opens twice (identical), into two identical windows (as 2 on the taskbar), but if I close one of them, both close and the program stops. How can I fix?

• Windows XP Add Remove Programs opens, but the list of programs will not appear?

  Windows XP Add Remove Programs opens, but the list of programs will not appear? Can check the programs add and romove, but when the next screen appears to list all installed programs nothing happens, it just says: waiting will list is bieng prepared, expected 15 minutes still nothing, never had this problem before. Thank you

  Alas...

  As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Click Start, run and enter the following command:

  regsvr32 appwiz.cpl

  Click OK and you should see a message like this:

  DllRegisterServer in successful appwiz.cpl

  Restart and see how things look now.

• 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! I really want to solve first the thing of windows installer.

  Thank you!

• 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!

• My Cookie file was corrupted in data and my programs continually pop up with the 'corrupt file' error when a program opens, pointing to \Users\name\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies.

  My Cookie file was corrupted in data and my programs continually pop up with the 'corrupt file' error when a program opens, pointing to \Users\name\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies.

  The problem is, Chkdsk will not fix this, and I can't access the file. This opens up a world of problems when I need to fix this error, so I can upgrade to Windows 7. Help, please!

  I just ran the scan again. He said of the errors found, but could not be repaired.

  This problem actually has nothing to do with internet explorer. It's the cookies folder that is corrupt in the Windows folder in roaming. The error file is in conjunction with the programs, that I try to run (AIM, Skype, so forth). Trying to enter the folder it says it's corrupt. I don't know what is the root of the problems or how to solve this problem, but these measures have not helped so far. Regarding the repair, I will try that next.

• All programs open to Windows Media Player!

  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!

• All programs open in the small window

  Original title: ask the community

  Windows 8.  All programs open in a small window. How to vary the size of this window, or alternatively, to have the new window opens automatically full size?

  Thank you

  Hi Matt

  Yes, I have had this problem since I bought the computer.

  However, I tried your suggestion and, guess what, IT WORKED!

  I am so happy.  Thanks for your help. Something so simple but if you don't know what to try then it can be so frustrating.

  Incidentally (and this is not a complaint) by clicking on desktop icons now open full-screen windows, which suits me very well, but when I hit the screen button "reduced" on a window then all windows to open in reduced format, but ALL are EVEN smaller.  I'll play a little more but thanks again. You have made my day.
