Why my computer won't open a program I downloaded?

Similar Questions

• My computer will not open certain programs, and the system does not.

  I have really no idea what's wrong with my computer, so I'll just list the symptoms.

  The first and foremost problem is that my computer won't open some programs.  First thing I noticed when I tried to open iTunes and it did not open, no matter how many times I tried.  I went to restart my computer, and that opens up a host of new questions.

  My antivirus - Windows Live OneCare - software does not open.  I tried to turn on Windows Defender for malware, but it crashes when I try to do.  Not only does iTunes opens, but neither a few other programs I have on my computer--mainly those who could help me to solve this problem, such as the restoration of the system.  When I try to uninstall a program - all - nothing happens and he refuses to let me try to uninstall anything else, insisting something is already uninstall.  And my computer can't detect my printer.

  Which leads to my other problem: I have two computers connected to a network via an Ethernet cable.  The other computer is fine and can access the Internet fine, but when he sends something to the printer, nothing happens on the end of the printer.  It is a red 'X' the symbol of my network on my computer in the lower right corner (next to), so I guess this confirms my concerns about the network.  I don't understand what exactly is the problem, just that the other computer cannot print (it is not connected directly to the printer, mine is).

  Because Windows Live OneCare and Windows Defender does not work, I can not scan to see if it is the result of spyware or malware.  And because whenever I click on the system restore, nothing happens, I can't restore the computers to something else.  I'm completely stuck.  More critical functions simply do not work.

• Try to download and my computer won't open the file

  I wanted to download Facebook messenger for my office, but it won't work. (don't ask why I want it, I know it's what you thinkthe small bar at the bottom of my screen pops up and had only save and cancel optional.) If I hit, it won't download because it can not open the backup file. If I hit Cancel and then it freezes just straight up. What happened to the "Run" option and why it wont download? It's the same thing the other day, trying to download my songs on Amazon. My computer doesn't have that program to open an .amz file. Once I found a link to let me download Amazon downloader all of this came together and worked for me. It's almost the same thing. Download instructions say to click "run" when it happens, but it's not even an option for me. Then, as I said earlier, if I come out or cancel everything freezes and I can't do the little box go away if I close Internet Explore completely to dismiss as nothing shows in my downloads folder...

• Why we can no longer open a program over the taskbar

  original title: the feature of the taskbar

  Why a very useful feature has been removed?  Auto-hide is very probably the most annoying feature ever;  I prefer to be able to allow windows to open the taskbar and if I need press the Windows keyboard direct, we have been able to do for almost 10 years.

  It's like being able to drag the elements around the area of all programs on the start menu.  You can do it, but they just re - get an alphabetical sort themselves even if you put ' Menu all programs sort by name "OFF - why he lost us this feature and what is the point preferably to be here at all if it's going to sort without worrying?

  The change is by design, however, if this is something you want restored, please submit your proposal to Windows 7 comments.

• Computer won't open the Task Manager, paint, HOWEVER I would like to click Restart on the start menu.

  This problem started a month ago. my computer stopped to let me restart my system via the start menu, so I had to rely on a hard reboot which I don't do often. just recently I realized it won't let me open the photos in paint and every time that I right click on the taskbar and select taskmanager it does nothing. When I right click on computer > properties it just indicates that the Page failed to load. When I download pictures off google it does not show a bar at the bottom of the Save as window to change the name of the picture or even see what it is.

  Try to perform a restore of the system before you start, facing this problem.

  Press Windows key + R

  Type: rstrui.exe

  Press enter

  Follow the instructions on the screen.

  If the system restore is also blocked, you can try to start safe mode and it started from there.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  If you are unable to load Safe Mode, I suggest that you scan your computer for malicious code.
