When I open "Set your default programs" in my list of programs by default, Internet Explorer is not listed. Nothing happens when I try to add using "Set Program Access and Computer Defaults"

It started when the links in my Windows Mail messages stopped working. I received an "Application not found" error when I clicked on a link in an e-mail. I went online to find an answer and told everything to use the list of default programs. But IE is not on it and I cannot Explorer to display in the list, no matter what I do. It is, however, listed as my browser program by default when I go to IE tools > Internet Options > programs.

At the same time links Windows Mail has stopped working, IE icon disappeared from my office. However, I was able to restore, and that seems to work very well, like the Explorer himself. I tried to reset the default settings of IE using tools > Internet OPtions (although that I changed the personal settings), but that does not make the difference.

Also, it seems that the 2nd IE icon (which looks like a small page, rather than the usual 'e' with halo) on my bar launch and in my programs. When I click on that, I get a message saying "Windows searches for IExplore.exe. To locate the file yourself,... "And then it says the shortcut has been changed or moved. This would be part of the problem?

Hello purgould,

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

You have whatever it be listed in your programs by default, or is it completely empty?
If there is nothing listed, you can view the link here which has a solution that helped some people.

If you don't have some programs listed in default programs, then that would probably not help.
Have you tried doing a SFC/scannow?

Try the following steps:

First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

Click Start

Click on all programs

Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.

Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"

Click on command prompt

Type SFC/scannow.

It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.

If please reply back and let us know if this helped with your question.

Sincerely,

  • Windows Media Player is missing in Set Program Access and Computer Defaults

    I recently discovered that when I wanted to install a default media player, Windows Media Player was absent from "Default programs".

However, when I tried this, I found that Windows Media Player was also absent from "Set Program Access and Computer Defaults"! Now, what I want to know is, how to restore Windows Media Player in the list of Set Program Access and Computer Defaults?

  • Internet Explorer does not allow my program to run.

    I have the Foscam wireless camera setup to display on my computer.  I now watch on a Mac.  I just bought the HP Pavilion Entertainment PC.   When I try to run Internet Explorer will not allow him to start.  It has something to do with the certificates of the program. He was down to install activeX.  I click on install and the program still does not work.   What I would do.   I use dyndns.org as the host of the show.

    Thank you.

    PS: If I use Firefox I can view a camera at a time.  With IE, I should be able to view both.  I use IE at work, and it works.  Some thing on this PC it blocks and I can't understand it.

    Thanks again.

    I finally have success.   I searched online and found the following.   It is in fact of Foscam.   A simple click on the Advanced tab and it worked.    Thank you for leading me to search online for details of Foscam.  I hope that if someone is having the same problem that they check here.   Before I was just checking the custom section.  But it's the Advanced tab.

    You have been very helpful.  I appreciate your time spent on it.

    RE: iTunes and WMP - MusicBridge

    Found this on the web. I can't vouch for it. Use it at your own risk.

    Excerpt:
    iTunes is not compatible with Windows Media Player. iTunes is - like Apple-very protective of any product and does not like to share. So, you have to force off iTunes and WMP.

    To do this, you can use this sloppy program: MusicBridge.
    The description of its creator:
    MusicBridge allows people who use both iTunes and WMP on the same machine to keep their libraries in sync. MusicBridge offers a variety of synchronization options so that you can manage your collection of music in the media player, or both. MusicBridge duplicates of meta-data between Windows Media Player and iTunes, it does not copy the physical files between applications.

    Version 2.0.1 is a bug fixing release.

    Best thing: it's free.

    convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format that Windows Media Player can understand

    You can convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format of Windows Media Player can understand - (I tend to use mp3). This can be done inside of iTunes itself. If the songs in your iTunes library were purchased in the iStore and were purchased in the plus version (indicated by a small sign above the price of a song +), then they are DRM free, so they can be converted easily. However, if the songs were not purchased in the format more, you can convert them for 30 cents each. I highly recommend that you do as the plus version of songs are premium quality - and since they are DRM free, you can use them in almost all applications and you can burn them to CD and play almost anywhere. All the songs on the iTunes store are now version more, so you don't have to worry about searching for them in the future.
    To convert songs to Windows Media Player can understand, open iTunes, and then do the following:
    1. click Edit, preferences, and go to the general tab
    2. click on the button "import settings".
    3. change the "import using" at "MP3 encoder".
    4. click OK and go back to your music library
    5. choose the list view and select the first piece of your library
    6. scroll all the way to the last song in your library
    7. press the button SHIFT key, then click the last song to select all the songs in your library
    8. click on "Advanced" and then "Create MP3 Version."
    9. your songs should start to convert and according to how many songs do you have in your library, this could take some time
    10. open Windows Media Player and press F3 or click file, add it to the library

    11. click on OK - Windows Media Player should start to search for songs on your computer and after that he finished the search, you should find the songs in your library in your Windows Media Player to iTunes library.

    NOTE: This method will not work unless you have purchased iTunes songs or if you have converted the songs iTunes more for each 30 c

    Original post: the homepage of Internet Explore does not open on my pc. Please do what shouldi?

  • PE7 crashes when I try to add a title...?

    I bought PE7 a couple of weeks, it was a great piece of software, my skinny processor 2.26 ghz and 480 MB of RAM it handled very well and I really liked love the software.

    So it was a shock to me when one day when I tried to add a title to my video, I was welcomed not not by a wonderoos fonts selection, but by a message apologizing for "inconvenience", the computer I was using did not have access to the internet and so I was unable to send the error report that Windows wanted to compile for me PE7 decided to close...

    "Well, never mind" I thought "I lost only a few minutes of work" so I tried again (add title), but it's the same thing again and again once TCEs

    The program crashes only when I try to add a title that I can't do otherwise and everything works fine. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have a sucspision that one of the fonts is may be corrupted, so if anyone knows the name of the folder they are stored in it would be helpful.

    Thank you

    I have a sucspision that one of the fonts is may be corrupted, so if anyone knows the name of the folder they are stored in it would be helpful.

    You stole some of my "Thunder". In pre and PrPro Titler is very, very sensitive to the fonts and problems. PS, AI, InDesign and ohters will work with thin fonts, will bring the titration module kneeling. These can be corrupted, incorrect fonts and even some policies. This happens also before the titration module never gets opened. It occurs when it lists the fonts installed on the system.

    Now and this could depend on a bit of your exact OS, your installed fonts are stored in C:\Windows\Fonts.

    I use a utility, Extensis FontDoctor of inquiry, to repair or replace any bad fonts. A freeware, FontFrenzyprogram (do not register, but it's still free) it will also. It is so much faster than the manual way to find bad policies.

    One thing I love about the doctor of fonts is that it can record my entire system. On my workstation, I have more 12 000 fonts, but generally no more than ~ 200 charges at any time. Yet, if I install no, I don't want to break title either. I use Extensis Suitcase to manage/dynamically install these other policies, as is required for the projects.

    Know that there are some policies that kill any titration module, regardless of what fonts or FontFrenzy doctor say about them. One is Deja Vu, that is installed when you get Open Office of SunMicro system. Something is wrong with this font, but it is not corrupted - it just flat kills titration module. I do not have a complete list of these fonts of thugs, but also assumes that some of the old Corel fonts could do the same thing. My recent Corel WordPerfect fonts do not seem to have problems and I use several of them.

    Try FontFrenzy and see if it finds any corrupted fonts.

    Good luck

  • Using script - library locked when you try to add the file to it

    Hello

    I'm just a simple script that I can run with my engines of the action, so if I add new enum values I can create new wrappers quickly. I am able to create a new VI on disk, but when I try to add the the VI to the library, I get "error 1562: library, or the specified project is locked." Just before adding the article, I tried to adjust the State of the library "Not locked", but has not been the tower.

    Directions to see the error:

    Open attached zip file

    Open 'Engine.lvlib Action '.

    Run "Script - Create Wrapper.vi.

    Please let me know how to get around this, I thank you,

    Gregory

    There are two reasons at least a library locks: 1) something he possesses is running, 2) is open in two or more instances of the application.  (This applies to classes too.)

    I started a project and took your scripts out of the library (to avoid the #1) and then open your Library Reference by path in your script, be sure to include the reference of the application (to avoid the #2).

    Works now.  (With the exception of the Init.vi but you mentioned earlier that you knew about it. But point 1 and 2 of article work fine.)
