So I ran a restore of the system on January 1. After restoring nothing will open correctly on xp.
When I try to open Windows Update (for example), I get a choose the program you want to open this file with the message.
Please please please help. IM ready to throw my laptop out the window.
Looks like your Windows file associations have to dispose. This means that XP doesn't know what to do with files by looking at the file extension (.exe for executables)., .doc for MS documents, etc.
If you don't have it you, something done for you - most likely malware.
Go to this site by Doug WWW:
On the left, click on the Win XP fixes, file Association fixed and read the instructions at the top of the page.
Download the EXE File Association Fix on your desktop, unzip the file and apply it by following the instructions at the top of the page, then to restart and test.
Run the following scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
I think that none of the Microsoft Support engineer 'Methods' help, but give them a shot and see what happens if you are forced to do so.

The system time has changed after the restart of Bootcamp
Hello
After a restart of the boot camp partition Windows 10. I have the wrong time, in fact its always an hour later that it is.
Although in the Control Panel, I checked the "time of to of Appleserver" it does not update the time of its actual value. Parenthesis in Win 10 (BootCamp) time is correct, then the difference that happens just restart in Mac OS.
System:
MacBook Pro early 2011
OS X El Capitan 10.11.3
Bootcamp
Win 10 latest version with all updates/Updates aviable
What could be the problem?
Thanks for your help!

Update the system: does not start after upgrading to Windows Vista SP1.
I had the same problem. Called Lenovo, the response was:
N ' - what is Vista come with SP1? No! Then, it is not a supported configuration. You're on your own! Bye: Pei
Well, there is a feature called "Automatic updates" and Microsoft forces you to use - and you're foolish to not use it! In any case, I hope the support to the Denmark, named Thomas, and his bosses to get a better attitude towards customer.
My question was simple. He was missing a Windows Service called "system update". It is implemented in "C:\Program Lenovo Update\SUService.exe.
I had register service menually. There is a tool in the .net framework called InstallUtil.exe. The SUService.exe is implemented in .net, the InstallUtil can help.
Start a command prompt by right-clicking and choosing "run as Administrator".
Run:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe "C:\Program Update\SUService.exe Lenovo."
Modification of traces according to needs. If InstallUtil.exe is missing, it could be part of the .net SDK - do some research on Google.
Go to services (in the contral Panel - administrative tools) and start the newly created service "system update". System update now worked for me.

Whenever I try to open Avira Antivrus and Windows Defender, I get this message: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. "I am the administrator and I have not set restrictions. It worked, but started recently and I can't find answers. All solutions?
Hi I_GHall
It seems that you receive the message you want to software conflicts. I suggest you try to disable either the Avira antivirus and windows defender and then check if the problem resolves.
If you disable any security software for troubleshooting temporarily, so don't forget to activate after troubleshooting is completed that your computer will be at risk.

Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.
Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.
This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

C:\Windows\system32\wshbth.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.
Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx and run Autoruns by using the tab all. Search for wshbth.dll and if you find it remove the control to prevent it from running at startup. Click OK and restart. The message should be gone.
If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.
Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here. A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.
I hope this helps.
