Search box in Windows 7 to come with the program association problem

I am running Windows 7 SP1, 64-bit operating system.

For the last few months there was a problem with my search box of the start menu.  I can search for in any folder without problems, but when I type a query in the search box and select "Search everywhere" it comes up with 'there is no associated program to perform the selected action. Please install a program or, if such is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel. "I have no problem if I just type a search query in the search box and let it load suggestions, only when I hit 'search all' above the search box.

I have searched extensively for a solution online, but so far running checkdisk and ' sfc/scannow' does not work.

Thank you

You don't do something wrong, I just use a large number of protocols in my work and have many installed applications that use them.  An example of a protocol that we both share would be the mailto: Protocol.

Frame background bit: on the internet, you are more familiar with the two protocols, HTTP: and HTTPS:.  You might also be aware of the FTP: file transfer protocol.  To test a Protocol, you can type in your box to run and click OK to see what is happening.  For example, if you "start" text only "HTTP:" (without the quotes), you will have your browser pop open (on a blank page, since you specify nothing after the Protocol for it to open).  Even with MAILTO: causing open your e-mail program (if you have included an email address after the: brand, you would get an e-mail message préadressé).

In any case, it seems that your research protocol has been removed. Creating a profile on the computer usually will correct it (because each user has their own set of preferences of Protocol), and then you'd have to drag your files to the new profile and make "your" again.

But first, you might try to remove and reinstall the search within Windows System.  Here's how:

  1. In Control Panel, select programs > Turn Windows has or not
  2. Search Windows Search in the list and turn it off, click OK, let him finish and reboot as requested.
  3. Go back and turn it on, let it install and there still restart (Yes, a lot of reboot)

At this point, it should be reset and I hope that the Protocol is implemented again.

  • MS wrote that Windows 7 Professional comes with MS Games; they have disappeared. How can I get them?

    I bought a HP Pavilion, manufacturer dv7 - 3098ca, with Windows 7 Professional installed.  There are 2 directories with the word 'game' - HP - games and games.  They both contain the same set of HP games (2 identical sets).  According to Microsoft, Windows 7 comes with the same games that have been installed with Vista business, normally residing in the games directory.  Can someone tell me how to get the Microsoft Games that were supposed to be included with this system?

    Normally, you should see games under all programs. You can even search for games under boot and search for the Games Explorer button.

    If you see missing, perform these steps to install them:

    1. click on start, control panel

    2. open programs and features

    3. click on "turn Windows features on or off".

    4. uncheck the games

    5. click on OK

    7. Repeat steps 1-3. Check the option games

    Anyone has an idea why I get this error?

    Same thing here. Grayed. Windows 8.1 seems to fill the observer of events with many more errors than previous versions.

    Edit: OK, discovered why it is grayed out. There are 2 reg key, you must set permissions before going to the Configuration of DCOM in component services. The CLSID key and the APPID key.

    From another forum, although it applies to a different application, same principle:

    1. open Regedit.
    2. go in HKEY_Classes_Root\CLSID\ * CLSID *.
    Note: * CLSID * stand for the ID that appears in your event viewer error. In your case, it is {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}.
    3. right-click on it and select authorization.
    4. click on Advance and change owner to administrator. Also click on the box that will appear below the threshold of owner.
    5. apply a full control.
    6. close the tab, then go to HKEY_LocalMachine\Software\Classes\AppID\ * APPID *.
    Note: * AppID * is the ID that appears in your event viewer. In your case, it is {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}.
    7 right-click on it and select authorization.
    8. click on Advance and change the owner to administrators.
    9. click on the box that will appear below the line owner.
    10. click on apply and grant full control to the administrators.
    11. close all tabs and navigate to the administration tool.
    12. open component services.
    13. click on the computer, click my computer, and then click DCOM.
    14 find the corresponding service that appears on the display of the error.
    15. right-click on it, and then click Properties.
    16. click the Security tab, and then click Add a user. Add the SYSTEM and then apply.
    17. check enable local.

    Then use the relevant keys here and the DCOM Config utility should give you access greyed onareas:

    CLSID:

    {D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}

    and APPID

    Hello

    Disks: I don't think so. I always keep 25 floppy disks for Windows 95, should be a few thousand disks for Windows 10. Very, very, very expensive to store files and transport.

    Of DVD: would soon come out, new machines will have 10 Windows (who knows) pre-installed or downloaded. You can always find Windows 10 DVD in some countries where users will still have to use dial-up Modem.

    Hope it makes sense.
