When I double-click an application on my desktop nothing happens
To run the application I have to right click on the application icon (ex: Word) and when the menu opens, I have to click the tab open to run the application. How can I fix this problem. I tried to configure selective startup options, but this has not solved the problem.
If windows was installing software when the pc is turned off
corruption may result.
did you run chkdsk fr or sfc/scannow?
they may or may not fix anything.
If chkdsk /f detects problems, run it again when it's done.
his first pass, can't get all the...

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

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

I went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (11.4.402.278). The download was successful. However, when I double-clicked on the file in the download for Firefox, it did nothing. The file security warning dialog box does not appear. I don't know what is happening. Y at - there someone who can help me?
The download location by default on Windows Vista is the record of downloads, under your user folder. You could try to close Firefox and check there to see if the Flash installation file has been downloaded... If you see it, double-click on the file. If this does not work, try again:
After you download the file to install Flash on your computer, open the downloads window, right click on the file you downloaded and select "Open containing folder", then take it out of Firefox before running the Flash installation program that you downloaded.
See Flash Plugin - keep up-to-date and solve the related problems to the title of the update of Flash... There is a link to download the Offline Installer, if the normal download does not work.

Hi, I want to migrate thousands of images of Aperture library 3.6 to Lightroom and when I double click on Aperture App it won't open. I'm on OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 and I keep the nearly 200 gigabytes of photos on a separate hard drive so I can get more old photos looking at the content of the package and by copying and pasting in a recovery file, but it will be painful and very long. What do you suggest me? I thought that Aperture 3.6 was supposed to open at Yosemite or El Capitan? Thank you bripoppamac44
and when I double click on the App opening, it does not open.
What happens, when you try that? You get an error message? If so, what error?

When I double click on a folder, a search window opens automatically instead of the usual view of Windows Explorer that displays the contents of the folder. I must in order to display the contents of the folder, right click and select open, then I can see the contents of the folder.
