  The Hiberfil.sys hidden system file is located in the folder root of the drive where the operating system is installed. The Windows Kernel Power Manager reserves this file when you install Windows.

• For 2 days were not able to access the App Store and regular a few adds on my iPad, but can be downloaded on my iPhone. I have reset the router, iPads, etc... No change. Help, please

  I can't access AppStore and some other operations ordinary adds on my iPad. Have reset and all routers. All updates current. I can do on iPhone. Is it me or Apple or what? Help, please

  Hello there jacquelinefrombburg,

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! It is a great place to get help with connection problems to the App Store and access other applications on your iPad. I know that there are some applications that I rely on every day, so I'll do my utmost to help find a solution.

  As point of departure, we will you force him to close all open applications on your iPad. Once you've done that, go ahead and reboot your iPad. Once it is up and running, test on the App Store to see if you are able to access. Here are some useful resources to guide you through the process described above:

  Force a nearby application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  If you still have questions, see the steps in this article. Even though the title says iTunes Store, the recommendations would still apply to the App Store.

  If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store

  As a step in isolation, it would be wise to check if you have problems with the App Store and other applications while using a Wi - Fi connection and cell phone. If the problem persists with the two types of connection, try resetting the network settings on your iPad. Please note that you erase all the stored passwords and Wi - Fi networks. To complete this step, go to settings > general > reset > reset network settings. After you restart your iPad, test the apps again.

  Take care!

• All my desktop icons open under 1 program. How to return to the original way can be opened as part of their own program?

  Long story short, all my desktop icons and pretty much everything else opens under the same program.

  I deleted the program that went all other programs and now all the desktop icons are left white and they don't know where to go.

  I saw several responses to this before, but none of them were really clear. How can I get my programs to open to their original programs?

  Could someone please provide a detailed response, I'm pretty new to this. Thank you.

  Hello

  It's like as if all your slots target for your shortcut got a little messed up. Here is a list of the simple troubleshooting steps that I suggest.

  • When this problem started to happen
  • Have you made a change to your system, such as installing the software before that happens?
  • Have you tried to delete the shortcut icons and create new ones on the oldest?
  • Have you tried to change the target location manually? -To do so, right click on any shortcut icon of the present Office on your computer, locate your target and see if it takes you directly to your location of program if not, go to your local disk, program files and scroll to the program that you want as a shortcut on your desktop. Then go on the address tab and click once. Copy and paste the address into the location your shortcut properties target.

  Hope this helps,

  Kind regards

• Cannot open files (desktop programs) *.exe

  When I try to open .exe files I get a message error that says "this file doesn't have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options Control Panel. " I went to control panel > tools > folder options > file types and tried to put 'exe' to 'demand', but that doesn't seem to work. Funny enough, I am able to open other types of programs such as pictures, videos and files PDF and if I open a file html directly, I can open Firefox, but I can't open firefox.exe directly. I want to run an antivirus program or malware-check software, but of course, I can't open any .exe files.

• I can not move the files to a folder in windows XP, only to copy them, and I get the windows error. This happens on any file or folder.

  I use XP Pro SP 3 and I'm having a problem with moving the files from one folder to another, no matter where the folder or files. If I try to move a file, it crashes and it cannot be opened or used. If I move a folder, then crashes all the contents of the folder, and I can't even open the folder, it tells me access is denied, this nothing else. If I try to delete the file, then I get a prompt to error telling me that the file or folder is not accessible, and that access is denied and "make sure that the disk is not full or write protected." If I try to move the files corrupt in another folder, this time I get the message "Unable to move or replace" the file in question and "make sure that the disk is not full or write protected." If it is a document as a text file, then I can open the file and there is a prompt indicating that access is denied. I can then use the text document and save something, but if I close the document and then try to reopen it, all the changes are lost.
  It is not this problem if I move the files to an external device or disk drive.
  I am running as an administrator.
  Right now, if I need to move a file, I copy it to its destination, which is possible and then delete the original file. With the help of a release program was the only way I could delete these files, which could no longer be used.

  Hello Closrapexa, welcome.

  1. do you have this problem started recently?

  I recommend trying the system restore to bring the system back to a State before the problem started. Try this:

  1. click on START

  2. click on "all programs".

  3. click on "Accessories".

  4. click on "system tools."

  5. click on "system restore."

  6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.

  Let us know what happens

I'm exausted out everywhere is going to fix this problem with no result other than buying something that I know can be done without. Thank you Robert K b.

  Hi Robert K B,.
   
  It seems that the file on your computer is corrupted, and the default program to open files is set to Adobe Reader.
   
  Method 1: As a first step of troubleshooting, you can uninstall Adobe Reader and check if the file associations are defined by default.
   
  Method 2:
  Once you uninstall Adobe on your computer, follow these steps to resolve the problem:
   

  a. Click Start, click Run, and type command

  b. type the following commands one by one:

  cd\windows
  Regedit

  c. If the Registry Editor opens successfully, then navigate to the following key:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ exefile-shell-open-command

  d. double-click the (default) value in the right pane.

  e. delete the current value data, and then type:

  "%1" %*
  (ie., quote-percent-one-quote-space-percent-asterisk.)

  f. navigate to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe

  • In the right pane, set (default) exefile

  g. quit the registry editor.

  Check if this helps you.

• Unresponsive script warning: I have read many articles on it and tried in safe mode that doesn't seem to help.

  I usually get 2 warnings
  Script: file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86) /Mozilla%20Firefox/modules/NetworkPrioritizer.jsm:175 and
  Script: chrome://saff/content/saffplg.js:500.
  I suppose there is a program that causes a conflict with Mozilla when I try and launch firefox. Any ideas as to what program to disable? and if so how can I delete the offending script.

  Thank you very much
