• Red Apple icon shown when loading the software containing the two Vista and Apple software - does not recognize Windows

  I recently bought 2 bits of software that contain the Apple and Microsoft (Vista) versions on one CD.  When I insert the CD into my Vista PC, it can not find or load the installation files.  Instead, if I look at what is on the drive, I see an icon of the Red Apple.  If I put the same CD on Vista PC to my wife, it loads correctly.  If I load the version of WIndows 7 software, it loads correctly and run the program until he acknowledges that the operating system is Vista not Windows 7.  Something triggered something on my Vista PC to do brand new loading on my CD player program needs to ignore files in vista and show files apple as if they were independent.  Is there a toggle for this problem?  If I run the software of Microsoft ' Fix It' - the solution that I see on most boards, it does not.  As far as I know, other Vista users are facing this problem without solution by MIcrosoft or any other tech tips.

  The problem is with a program from Mediafour.  It's called xplay 3.  If you uninstall this program, everything works fine.

  A few days back the part changed in the file has been deleted mysteriously, today the entire file has been deleted.

  Do you remember any change to your machine before the problem?
   
  Follow the steps below and check if the problem persists.
   
  Step 1:
   
  Check if the host files disappears in safe mode .
   
  Step 2:
   
  If it works fine, I suspect involvement of conflict of software of third party causing the problem to occur. I'd make you clean boot and check if it is caused by a third-party software.
   
  Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.
   
  Step 3:
   
  Do the SFC scan on your machine and check.
   
  Step 4:
   
  It could be because of a virus or spyware. I suggest that you run an online scan in order to remove the malicious software from the link below.

• I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file.

  Original title: registry exe problem

  I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file. This also occurs when you download the software, which makes it difficult, because the file is not on the pc yet. All solutions?

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.
