Running Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit and all empty and none of them exe icons only opens.

I am running Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit Service Pack 1 installed and when start I had dozens of white on the bottom bar task icons by saying that no files have been associated to the program.  I hit cancel and cancelled all out.  All the .exe icons (shortcuts) are empty, all the program under all PROGRAMS icons are empty, and nothing does not open.  My documents on the desktop will BE open in word or excel, but not from the shortcut.  The regedit.exe will work not or open.

Does anyone have a solution?  It happened yesterday, I restored to 10 October and my computer worked, so I turned it off.  This morning when I turned on he did it again.

Thanks in advance for you help.

Jim

  • Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and slow down the performance of the system

    Its week Tuesday I had to buy a new motherboard for my computer as a (ASUS M5A97 THE R2.0) upgrade from my old Board that was used at the time. At present, I suffer from these setbacks and problems that I don't understand completely at all on the right, or what reasons is causing my system to the right way to work. From this moment everything that I know, is installed correctly with all the appropriate drivers (x 64) are also installed for the chipset on the map, the video card (XFX Radeon HD 6770) as well and nothing else that needed to be installed at the time because the operating system running the version of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. The problem that I'm facing here is that for some reason, my system is now slowly in response to any kind of program or an application (either Internet Explorer, Windows Update). I have flashed the BIOS and there now the most recent version, and the system is upgraded to SP1. Any ideas?

    Good so I found the problem. It was real HARD drive I had in my system. After you told me to do what you had posted, I started thinking and wanted to try a theory. I connect a spare hard drive I had in another computer, I like a build up of hobby. It's only 200 GB, but still more than enough. Anyway, when about and installed the operating system on it and of course I could tell a MAJOR DIFFERENCE in the overall performance!

    The original HARD drive that is a Western Digital 500 GB took more than 2 1/2 hours to install completely; the Seagate 200 GB took only 20 minutes! In addition, I have much better overall system stability. So for now I'll stick with the smaller drive, until I can get a HARD drive more be my main in my system.

  • Maximum memory for Pavilion DV7t special edition running Windows 7 pro 64-bit with Intel i7 Q720

    I have an entertainment 2009 Dv7t Special Edition running on Windows 7 64 bit with intention processor i7 Q720 @1 .60GZ. I have 8 G of ram now but need to go to the top. Can I put two 8 G in the slots. Read some reviews say the software works and Windows 7 pro 64-bit can take up to 132 G RAM, if that was even possible. I run two internal drives. But with the addition of the cloud and running photoshop on cloud too much memory is used, slow down the computer. You want to go to 16. Everybody does and no problem?

    Thank you

    You can have 2 x 8 GB, no choice. Only a few portable computers that have 4 slots and supports up to 32 GB. No way on this earth at this time, you can find a laptop that supports the 132 Gb of RAM.

  • Question about "Windows 8.1 DG to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and Windows product key

    I have acquired a recnet ThinkPad T450 fdrom a retialer online (NCIX) and I hav ea a few questions about the installed Windows operating system.

    Before I just go further, HRE are some information about my particular system.

    Lenovo ThinkPad T450

    Model: 20BV00BUS

    CPU: Intel Core i5-4300U

    RAM: 4 GB

    Under the product description, it was stated "Windows 8.1 DG Windows 7 Pro 64." My understnading, the ThiknPad has been installed with Windows 8.1, but downgraded to Windows 7. There is also a Windows 8 Pro badge sticker at the bottom of the matchine.

    Is it possible, at the end of the user/consumer, to alter the functioning ti repressive back Windows 8.1?

    Can I create a recovery with Windows 8.1 disk?

    A separate but related matter relates to the Windows product key.

    I noticed the Ultrabook do not come with a sticker / label with the Windows product key (i.e. COST). Some quick research indicated that the Windows key is programmed into the BIOS.

    This indeed true (I wish an audit)?

    The key is visible in some way (for when you need to reinstall the operating system. I have not tried to enter the BIOS at the moment)?

    Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

    Kind regards

    Victor L.

    Hi Victor,

    I'm in the same boat as you type, but want to keep the facilities of Windows 7 rather than pass them to 8. Just like you, I buy our Lenovo from different retailers and they come with windows 7 installed through the Windows 8 lower upgrade program.

    We had one or two laptops come with a recovery media (for windows 8/8.1 only) but have noticed that all laptops now come with no physical media or codes for the recovery. WIN8 stickers, you described is more came with the license key on the sticker (it comes to stop you using the same license again and again, microsoft will get more money if you buy another license etc.). I also saw that the key is essentially located in the BIOS but were not able to test what we use any of windows 8. I use it even at home!

    To answer your question, you can get a recovery of Lenovo for Windows 8 media!

    Go to the following link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/lenovorecovery

    (It help you understand why this method is used on this page as well)

    Select Start,

    Please have your serial number of your laptop, (to find it go to this link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/find-product-name)

    If you qualify (which you will very probably) Lenovo will ship for free, recovery disks give it a go, took me 2 minutes.

    I hope this helps.

    Best regards, Max.

  • Running Windows 7 Pro 32 bit from an OEM installation. Can I reuse the license key I have to install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit?

    We have several computers at work that use 32-bit versions of Windows 7 Professional. We must move to 64-bit in order to use more memory. If I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit disc can I install the 64 bit version and reuse install the license key for the 32 bit version. I was told Yes as long it's the oem disc. I don't know what that means exactly. What is an OEM drive and why I he would have if the oem of Windows versions usually installed when the computer is initially being built. Thanks for the help guys!

    Yes, you can use the same product key to activate the 64-bit version. You may need to reactivate but by telephone.

    It doesn't have to be an OEM drive. As long as it matches the edition you are installing.

    To learn more:

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  • I need USB Controller drivers for my HP Pavilion g6 2235ca computer laptop running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit?

    Thus, it was at least a couple of months that I use my laptop with a single working USB port.

    The other two do NOT work. If I go to the computer in the start menu, make a right click on computer, and then click Manage, then I go to the Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation next to the (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller.

    When I try to update, Windows 7 tells me that an update is not found blah blah blah...

    This problem has happened since I installed Windows 7 64-bit on 64-bit Windows 8.

    So, can anyone help me find the drivers for the USB controller? Or is it some sort of hardware failure or problem?

    Help, please? Any who...!

    Thank you!

  • WinHTTP.dll error is a repository from backup in windows 7 (running windows 7 PRO 32-bit)

    Hello everyone ;) I do a Setup for a program of Government called AIS (indigenous Information Services) and got past some registry problems that occur during the installation of prerequisite software (integrated bugs the company provided a fix), but once the required components are installed I try to install the AIS software and it gets about 10%, then I get this error "failed to install". ', Access denied "winhttp.dll" "I had pretty well bing and Google would be the * outta cela one and basically 99.9999999999999998% of all of the DLLS related research are just phenomena until the junk that will make you more headaches, then the initial question will be. so that being said, I know that in the latest versions of windows like XP, you can go to the: C:\%windir%\system32\DllCache folder and it had backups of the DLL files are at - it a similar version of this folder in windows 7 in all? I know that I can technically extract and save a version of the dvd, but I am that remote and do not have the capacity to put the windows in the drive disk, as they have not. the company maintains offsite. I checked the permissions and I Localuser (name changed for privacy) system administrators and the trustedinstaller have very limited access to the folder and the file owner is Trustedinstaller? is that correct? I changed the owner to my entadmin account and I still didn't have the ability to change the permissions. the only thing I can do is to change the property and it doesn't seem to do anything in what concerns the resolution of my problem. I would like to replace this file. is there a procedure better than just extracting from the dvd and the replacement of the current? I tried the VSS, but no previous versions did exist... kind of weird. Sorry if I am vague in my question, if you need more information or have any ideas feel free to shoot 'em my way. I am pretty brain tired after fighting with it for almost 6 hours ha ha. Got to love my work some days. -Stephen

    Or they are corrupt, try to get a new copy and try again.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • HP Photosmart 3210 will not install on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    HP Photosmart 3210 will not install on a brand new desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  I downloaded the latest software, and when I run it, the installation window disappears shortly after it starts.  No error message.  I ran into several related issues lately.  I can't install a ScanJet 5590 on a new laptop running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.  Said it ends, but nothing is installed.   Could the fact that there are other HP printers installed on these computers (network printers) installed using driver only before attempting to install the software cause problems?  I spent hours trying to solve these.

    OK, much better progress!

    If the software is always installed, tell him you'll connect later.

    Go to devices and printers, look for the printer here, make sure you that no documents waiting to print and delete the printer if it is there.

    Then go into Device Manager and remove all photosmart series 3200 drivers you find, you may need to click displays hidden on the view menu.

    Thirdly, go back to the devices and printers. Select another printer, as the writer XPS comes with Windows. Along the top, with adding a device, add a printer, print server, you will see properties. What to choose and go to the tab drivers. If you have the HP drivers in there you do not, select them and choose delete and "delete the driver only."

    Now restart and go to your Start menu and your HP folder. You must have installed the software, just no device driver, select "add a device" or "printer setup and software." Installation should complete without problem.

    One last thing, you must temporarily turn off firewall and antivirus installation, in which case he mistakingly tries to block the attempt to install.

    Good impression!

    You can try to install using the "compatibility mode".

    What is program compatibility?
    Program compatibility is a mode in Windows that allows you to run programs written
    for earlier versions of Windows. Most programs written for Windows Vista are also running Windows 7,
