• I am trying to run Halo 2 on windows 7 n 64-bit OS. MFPlat.dll problems

  I am trying to run Halo 2 on windows 7 n 64-bit OS. The game installs properly and is registered. When I start the game it says the the mf.dll and mfplat.dllfiles are absent. I downloaded both of dll.com and install in my system 32 file and file of halo 2. The message I get now is that "point of entry" is missing from the file mfplat.dll.

  Hi, Landon5050,

  If you get to the missing file mf.dll errors or any other errors with the mf.dll file, we suggest that you re-install the program, uninstall and reinstall a newer version, or check to see if updates are available for the program associated with the file instead of trying to copy a new version of the file on the computer. File errors are often caused by more than just a missing or corrupt file and copy a single file could cause more problems.

  http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/process.pl?p=MF.dll

  These dll files exist in Windows, but there are also in the Halo installation directory. The equipped versions of Halo are older and is not compatible with Win7.

  Rename the files in your directory of Halo or replace them with newer versions of your directory %windir%\sysWOW64 or % windir%\system32.
  http://www.computing.NET/answers/gaming/Halo-2-missing-DLL/11709.html

  For re - save these files follow this step:

  1. Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.

  2. type regsvr32 mf.dll and then press ENTER.

  3. new type regsvr32 mfplat.dll and then press ENTER.

  There is a patch for this game as well. Have you tried to install the patch and check if it helped.

  Here is a link to download the update for this game.

• I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

  original title: error with ehshell.exe

  I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

  This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

  You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

• I'm trying to run a program back to 7. I know it is not possible, but anyone who has used dosbox? And if I load xp on an external hard drive can I have essentially two separate computers?

  How can I run a program back through windows 7? DOSbox? zinstall? Or loading of a xp via external hard drive? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  DOSbox or BACK (or XP or another 32-bit version of WIndows) on a virtual machine.

  An external hard drive can be used only if it is connected by SATA (not USB). In this case, it seems to be an internal drive.

  If you have Windows 7 Professional, you can use XP Mode. Otherwise, use VMWare Player http://www.vmware.com/products/player/, Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/ or Windows Virtual PC http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx to host your virtual machine.

• What exactly happens when you run a program in Windows XP compatibility mode? Which actually change?

  I'm trying to understand this Compatibility Mode XP actually changes or turns on or off in Windows 7. Is there a list of what it actually does?

  Hi Timmay,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forum.

  According to the description above, it seems you want to learn about program compatibility mode.

  Program compatibility is a mode in Windows that allows you to run programs written for earlier versions of Windows. Most programs written for Windows Vista are also running Windows 7, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all.

  What changes does: It depends on the problem, but any changes made are related to how Windows runs the program. No changes are made to the program itself. For example, the program compatibility Assistant can resolve conflicts with user account control, a security feature in Windows that can help make your computer safer. Or, it can run the program in a mode that simulates earlier versions of Windows. The changes that made the program compatibility Wizard are automatically, so you don't need to make them.

• I'm trying to run a game in windows 95 compatibility mode, but the compatibility under Properties tab disappeared.

  I am running windows 7 Professional. It is not the version of upgrade.

  Hi Tippo_89,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  (1) have you been able to use the compatibility feature earlier?

  Try the steps below and see if you can run the program.

  To run the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter

  (1) open the resolution of the problems of compatibility of programs by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.

  (2) follow the instructions contained in the resolution of the problems.

  If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

  Hi Gstone,

  Method 1

  You can try to change the file association in the control panel and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  You can access the link below and follow the instructions on how to change that uses default Windows programs:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default

  Method 2

  If the steps above do not work I suggest you try to create a new user account and check if you can open programs and windows normally.

  Create a new user account.

  a. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.

  b. click on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  c. click on create a new account.

  d. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.

  If you are able to access it by using the new profile, access the link below and follow the steps to correct the user's profile.

• why I can't open programs without a box saying 'Open with' open chose the program

  I am an administrator on this computer, but opening programs on my desktop, I get a dialog box indicating "open with: choose a program to open this program with ' and there are recommended to choice and others to browse. But on my husband's office it can automatically open programs.

  I have no problem from my office on this computer, but other users have.

  What does it mean above?  It seems to be incompatible with your initial statement that "to open programs on my desktop, I get a dialog box indicating" open with: choose a program to open this program with... " »

  If you mean that when you double click shortcuts to applications (e.g., Word), you get the menu 'Open with' instead of opening the application, this means that the file association for exe files (applications) and probably also for lnk (shortcut) has been corrupted, probably by malware.

  To correct the file associations go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm read the documents at the top of the page, in particular the 'NOTE', then download and use the EXE File Association Fix and the difficulty of Association LNK (shortcut) file.

  Assuming that these steps fix your immediate problem, download, install, update and run full scans BOTH of the following free tools.  Do not run them both simultaneously.  The scans will take some time, so start an and then go for a non computer chore.  You can uninstall scanners when you're done, if you wish.
