When you try to start the programs of their shortcuts, I always get a window MS-DOS pop up
When you try to start the programs of their shortcuts, I always get a window MS-DOS pop up. The header says 16-bit subsystem MS_DOS. For example, when you try to start Microsoft Word, the message says:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu demarrer\programmes\microsoft Office\Microsoft Office Word 2003.lnk program invalid file name, please check your pif file.
I can start the program by clicking on any document in my documents file, however. I know that something is messed up in the registry (we had a bad worm (MS Removal Tool). However, I can't a registry cleaner to open. I used a WinXP_EXE_Fix.reg to try to fix the missing exe file. He has set a number of things, but still will not let me run a registry clean.
Any help?

I have Vista 32 bit Home Premium.It does not support Windows Mail.Which is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1? I do not have a touch screen system, my system is five years old.
Original title: upgrade
Hello WilliamPopat,
If you want to buy an another operating system, you would do better to buy the latest version, i.e., Windows 8.1 it doesn't matter that you don't have a touch screen like Windows 8.1 will work just as well on a desktop PC / laptop normal.
However, before rushing and buying a copy of Windows 8.1, I suggest that you look at this link http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/11885-windows-8-upgrade-assistant-download-run.html the link above shows Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard you can download (free) and allows you to check that your PC is compatible with the latest version of Windows.
According to me, one of my office machines is around 5 or 6 years and Windows 8/8.1 works fine on it. However, it is best to check your own machine with the wizard upgrade just in case.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office
A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.
That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.
I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).
How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?
Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?
Thank you!
You're the one who knows if you installed Office.
Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.
If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.
A clean installation will wipe everything.
You cannot transfer programs.
It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.
If you do not have the desktop drive:

I am trying to hook up a TV with S-Video with my laptop. I plug the cables & when I go to the screen & my 2nd monitor/tv is not an option. It's only as 1 to my laptop screen. I'm trying to detect & still no solution...
Most of the standard definition TVs supports only video composite or S-video connections. If your computer supports one of them, you may be able to connect it to your TV. However, both of these connection types will result in displays that are not as sharp as the results you get with an HDTV or a standard computer monitor.
The following scenarios show you how you can connect a computer to a standard definition television:
If your computer has this type of output port
It should work with this type of TV input port
By using this type of cable
Composite video
Composite video
Composite video composite video
S video
S video
S video S-video
Connect your computer to your TVAfter that you have the right cable, follow these steps to connect your computer to your TV:
Turn off your computer and place it near your TV. Unplug the monitor, but leave the mouse and keyboard connected.
Connect the video cable appropriate to your computer's output to your TV.
Turn on your TV and set it to the input that matches the output on your computer. You may need to refer to the supplied with your television user's guide for instructions on how to do it.
Turn on your computer.
You should see windows displayed on your TV. If the screen looks stretched, or part of the screen seems cut off, you will probably need to adjust the reference resolution in Windows. For more information, seeGetting the best display on your monitor.
If Windows is displayed on your TV, you will need to reconnect the computer to your monitor and adjust the screen resolution before connect you to your TV.
Notes
Cables VGA, DVI and component video don't support audio signals. However, HDMI cables are supported audio signals, but not all HDMI-enabledvideo audio support cards. If your TV has an audio input, you might be able to connect an audio cable separated from computersound directly to the TV card. Otherwise, you need to connect the audio signal to a different device, such as external speakers or your stereo. For more information about sound cards, cards seeSound: frequently asked questions.
If your computer does not support the type of video connection you need, you may be able to install a newvideo card that has the right connection.
