Using Windows Vista, when openinga link in Windows Mail that I get "Application not found", what should I do?

When you try to open an attachment or a link, I get a sign pop up "Application not found".  If I leave my web site providers (Comcast), I open the attachments and links very well.

For attachments, save them to disk and then right click on them and go to properties and click the button change and indicate what program should open it.   For links, go to the control panel. Default programs | Associate a file type or Protocol with a program and a page down to the HTTP and HTTPS protocols, and set IE as default.

See also paragraphs 3 and 15 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

and it can help to compact and repair the database (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/), but which do not apply to your question.

    Hi JackinGeorgia,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    1 log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights

    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue

    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

    Note:

    Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use with existing restore points system restore utility

    Once you restart to try Office Outlook and see if you get the same error message. If not then follow the divide and conquer method mentioned in the article about which program is causing the problem.

    For more information about the clean boot, follow the below given link:

  • People say I have my Security Code "Locked" and they can't support on answering my emails. I'm using windows mail. How can I fix it?

    I'm using windows mail.  I received several notes as the below one.  However, I can't find anything in the Windows Messaging system that shows that I have blocked anyone to answer anyway.  Anyone with any suggestions?

    Do you use some sort of digital signature certificate?  Maybe this is why you have the problem.  Try checking your e-mail under Tools account properties.

  • Application not found error-choose the program you want to use to open this file

    Soon all the world.

    I really hope that someone will post a reply to my question as soon as possible. I will try to be as descriptive as I could possibly, in order to solve my problems.

    The main problem is that I can't open some, if all the program files, applications on my windows 7, 32-bit laptop. I'm constantnly get application not found error, showing in a small window address, I was trying to do. Whenever I want to open a program, like the Adobe reader, word of microsoft, excel, mozilla firefox, google chrome - basically everthing, a window opens and is telling me this: choose the program you want to use to open this file: file: acad.exe... and recommend me acrobat from adobe program, any program I was trying to enter (in this case autoCAD).

    Cannot open cmd, when I go to system recovery, it says: System Restore could not start. I normally post records in: C and: D sheet music, play music, watch videos and see photos. I found a "hole" not being able to go to the internet via a browser. I discovered it when I went to an online help in some of the trobleshoots. It would open tab in google chrome by itself and then on it, I can browse the internet normally, but only through the said track.

    Currently, the microsoft security essentials performs a custom analysis (: C and: D), because I suspect it is a malware, or some kind of virus. It happened when I tried to download a program from CAD Solidworks 2012 via a site that I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention, that I don't want. Unless it's okay with you :) It begins with a letter t. By the way, I noticed that my: partition D has accumulated 10 GB + more in the space of a few days, because I remember two weeks ago I had close to 70 GB of free space, now it's about 56.3 GB. Curious, because I know that I did nothing so great in this period. Maybe I need to tell you that I get this window, from time to time, when I browse the internet (I never visit suspicious sites, or at least I don't me remember more I visited one in a very long time, like 4-5 months):

    Original title: Windows 7 - Application not found. A big problem or easy-peasy?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    1. What is the complete error message you get when opening a file?
    2. What happens when you try to open the command prompt?
    3. What happens when you try to access the internet by using Internet Explorer?
    4. You did changes to the computer before the show?

    According to the description of problem errors you get "application not found error" and "choose the program you want to use to open this file" and not being is not able to do system restore, it seems that some windows file is corrupted. I also suggest you to post back the results of analysis.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if this is useful:

    Method 1:  Run SFC scan and check for corrupted Windows files and violations of integrity.

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 2:

    For any question, where his prompting you to select the default program
    Try to set the default values for the program
    Change the programs that Windows uses by default

    For any question, where you are not able to download and install firefox, download the file and save it and then try to install firefox.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know the results. Feel free to write us again for any help.
