Unable to run .exe files during the installation of new software.

I can't install new programs because my system asking you what program use and my internet explore doesn't open automatically however my knowledge is on my desk and works very well.

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.

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.

  • How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

    How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

    Hello

    You will not be able to circumvent the password that appears before the execution of actions (installing a new program) in a non administrator account.  If you are logged on as administrator, and again, you get the command prompt, you can disable UAC (User Account Control) to stop the password dialog window.

    However, as a work around you can right-click on the installation of the program files and select run as administrator. Check if this is useful.

    Let me know if I can help you with this question or any problem related to Windows.

  • 0xc007001d error during the installation of antivirus software

    0xc007001d error during the installation of antivirus software. AVG is the brand name. Installation stops with error code.

    I suggest that you uninstall and redownload it or switch to another brand or use the built in Microsoft Security Essentials. AVG has a bad reputation for bugginess, false positives.

  • How can I transfer OR-MAX configuration files during the installation of the application?

    I install my application on a PC that has no software EITHER.  The installation installs LV Run-Time and NO-DAQmx, OR MAX, but MAX configuration is the default value.  I use a USB DAQ.  I know that I can export the correct MAX configuration file but I don't know where to put it on the PC so that he sees MAX.

    Thank you.

    If you choose to include the harware config when you create the installation program, then you do not have to worry where it is placed and during the installation process, MAX on the new pc will attempt to import it

    If you want to manually copy the configuration on the new pc, put it anywhere you want. You must use the file > import the max function in order to use the new configuration.

  • Pavilion a409.uk fails to copy files during the installation of XP.

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion a409.uk, which is a failure during the installation of Windows XP Professional SP2

    I get a file copy error "Setup cannot copy the file sqls20.dll.

    This is a clean install, deleting the previous partitions and create a new installation.

    I do not have access to any original CD, I use genuine XP CD with SP2 preinstalled.

    I tried same CD and I get exactly the same error.

    Tried a CD of XP (SP1) same error, different file...

    Tried a CD even before (pre - SP1) same error, different file.

    Thinking that it is not the disc, I tried to replace the Ribbon IDE, no effect.

    Tried to replace the CD player, no effect.

    Tried to replace the HDD, no effect.

    The HARD disk is a regular IDE device, with a 80 Ribbon IDE wire.

    It's not a SATA drive and as such, there is no need to load additional drivers for only install.

    Tried to find any idea on the HP site, none showing that I can see.

    Before I write off that box, anyone got any ideas?

    Thank you very much

    I came across it once and after that much hair pulling it is a bad stick of memory. If you have 2, try removing one and try the install again. If the same thing happens to pass the memory sticks & try again.

  • Unable to run .exe files - windows for the application to launch guests

    When I try to launch a .exe, or .cmd file, Windows prompts you to wonder what application should I use to start the program. This happens on a single user profile on the machine, not the others. How can I fix this profile?

    Background:
    My child has apparently infected the computer. Whenever I started IE, two things happened:
    1. I have tons of warning messages that the computer has been infected
    2. I had the Vista "you want to run...?" question for the c:\users\tanya\app data\local\av.exe file

    I disconnected and logged on as an account administrator and then deleted the av.exe file. I have connected as a user infected, launched IE. Guests at the stop, but now I'm invited by Windows to how launch (apparently part of the java runtime) ssvagent.exe - since everything that I try to launch with a .exe or .cmd, or .com extension gives me a quick for applications to launch in. I suspect that the virus, the installation itself, not connected all the stuff.

    Then... How to hang it to the top? Advice?

    I recently had a virus on my computer, and it's file, he decided to corrupt. So, naturally, the antivirus got rid of him. Apparently, it was a pretty important, because now shortcuts to executables do work if I run as administrator (otherwise, I must point out the path for the time of EACH shortcut manually) and pitchers for the games that open several executables for the open game (EX: LOTRO) do any work.

At first I thought it was a hard drive problem, but after having tried with half a dozen other readers, I learn that maybe this isn't the case. Any ideas?
