You mean PDF not PDL. (I presume).
Save a PDF to your HARD drive, make a click right, choose 'Open with', choose "choose default program", choose Acrobat, and then at the bottom of the dialog box, click "always use the selected program to open...". "and then click OK.

  • Whenever I tried to run the Windows Media Center it says that it has stopped working and he's looking for solutions.

    Hello

    I installed Windows 7 this weekend with the offer of the student. Whenever I tried to run the Windows Media Center it says that it has stopped working and he's looking for solutions. Is it possible that I can download a fix or download the WMC for Windows 7?

    My computer (laptop) is a gateway T-6836 64-bit.

    original title: WIndows 7 media center has stopped working

    I upgraded to Win7 upgrade thestudent and my WMC keeps stopping whenever I try to open it. Is there a way to fix this or if I do a clean install of the operating system?

    This is the error I get:

  • Windows 7. How can I remove the Windows media Center programs recommended in the "Open with" section?

    I select which application (Word, Excel, etc.), they all open with Windows Media Center. This happened recently and I don't know how to cancel it. I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to "choose the program you want to use to open this file. How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group?

    "I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to"choose the program you want to use to open this file"." How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? »

    A pretty easy regedit should remove an application from the section "recommended programs". Here is a procedure step by step on how to do it. Unfortunately, I don't think that will solve your problem. What seems actually to have occurred is either your .lnk .exe (or maybe both) have inadvertently been associated with WMC. Out of the list of the programs recommended for the open with dialog box will not change. In fact, the next time that you open the program, it will open in WMC and add automatically return a program recommended in the open with dialog box.

    There really should not be whatever it is that you open a .lnk or .exe with because you really don't want to open them... you want to run. To determine if the .lnk or .exe associated with wrong, you can either watch the extension file associations in the control panel > programs, or you can see if it's a shortcut or the actual executable file that does. Need to know who, or if she is at the same time, in order to complete the fix.

    Once you know it, this link will show you how to restore the default file type link. Matter of fact, now that I think of it, it wouldn't hurt to just restore default settings for .lnk and .exe.

    "I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group? " I may be wrong, but I do not believe, you should really see anything in the open with dialog for a .lnk or .exe. Again, you don't want to really not open them... you want to run. The shortcut .lnk file goes to the executable and runs the .exe program.

  • How to restore my files out of windows media center?

    for some reason when I saved a file in another file it changed my entire system to play windows media center nonstop... now he always plays and I can't control it.

    My husband has had the same problem for another reason however, he managed to correct the problem by restarting the computer... by pressing the F8 key at all times as it has been restarted.  It opens a window which says "fix."  In this form it was to "restore the computer to an earlier date" as one of his choices.  Go back as much as necessary and click on restore.  It fixed my problem.  I have tried many other alternatives and this is what finally worked.  Another option reopened as Media Center.  Good luck.
  • Why the windows media center opens all my programs?

    I was working on my computer when all of a sudden, I was asked what I wanted to use to open a program. I chose 'Windows Media Center', and suddenly most of my desktop icons changed to icons in Media Center. Now, anytime I want to open a program like a web browser or game, it redirects me to Windows Media Center. Is it possible to reset these programs so that it does not happen? I'm not very good with computers, so a method of dumbed-down would really help.

  • Burning CDs is less than a complete file in the Windows Media Player library

    I have a problem burning CDs of items in my library in Windows Media Player.  I use Windows Vista Home Premium.  MY CD is eject as "Definitive" before burning everything in the library.  In the Panel at the bottom of the page, the small turning circle showing the progress of the burn in 1% increments gets only reach 97% or 98%, but the status bar for my selection of burn will have gone through the 'analysis' and "Writing to Disc" (in 10% increments) and the "completion" and then ejects the disc.  Playback of the CD shows that blight truncated before the end of the content.  How can I get the burn to 100% of the content of the library?

    Hi atthire,

    1. When did you start to question?

    2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    3. you receive messages or error codes?

    4. what type of video files you try to play?

    Step 1:

    This problem occurs if the Windows Media Center update process (Mcupdate.exe) cannot access the Windows Media Center data store. You may experience this problem if the data store is corrupted. So, try to rebuild the Media Center data store. To do this, follow these steps:

    %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.DB

    c. Click Start, run type, and then click Run.

    (d) in the Open box, type % systemdrive%\programdata\microsoft\ehome, and then click OK.

    e. in the details, click pane right mediacenterdatastore.db and then click on remove.

    f. click Yes to confirm that you want to move the Mediacenterdatastore.db file to the trash.

    g. launch Windows Media Center and check if the problem persists.

    You can read the following article to launch the SFC scan:
