Why my EXE files will not run?

Somehow, my operating system does not know to run EXE files - he asks me what program I want to run with.
Just like a unknown file.  If I go into the directory where it resides, right mouse click on it and say "run as administrator", they will be most of the time.
I can't understand what happened, but I'm so sick of Vista and its issues...  A little help...

That's not enough to head me in the right direction - thanks a lot!

  • My WinXP is damaged-exe files will not open

    Apparently damaged by VJT.exe and my .exe programs will not load or run. I get the 'Open with' box or a file not found. I am able to run the programs with the .com suffix. Please tell me what to do to solve this problem. Is this some sort of file association problem? My AVG antivirus was quarintined VJT.exe.

    Hi Systemwhiz,

    You will need to rename regedit.exe to regedit.com (my computer-> tools-> option-> view file-> remove tickmark to "Hide extension for known file types"-> ok-now right click on local disk C:\WINDOWS\ online search of regedit.exe rename regedit.com).

    Then click on Start-> Run Type &-> Regedit-> ok.

    Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Exefile\Shell\Open\Command
    (you will have to press on + to achieve order)

    Now, double-click default slot right windows and then change the value in this box for '%1' % *.

    Repeat the same for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Exefile\Shell\Open\Command

    Close regedit, restart your pc and check if its working.

  • Stand-alone labview application (.exe file) does not run correctly

    Hi all

    I'm doing a labview application only to run on another computer (I never did this before).

    I went through the tools-> build application prompts and was able to build an exe file.

    the program is supposed to control a power meter and measures of power, then save them in a text file.

    When I run the exe, on the same computer, I compiled the exe, the program generates a text file to save data to, but he cannot communicate with the electricity meter.

    There are a few screws Sub and a dll file that are used to communicate with the electricity meter. Would it be possible that I am not say labview to correctly

    include these files when I create an executable?

    What are some common problems that arise when building stand alone applications that could be cause of my problems?

    And no one knows of any good tutorials on building applications stand alone in labview, other than the help files OR?

    Thanks for your help,

    Also, if you used the VISA, include the runtime with your Installer.

  • Do you know how to solve the reason why I can't export my file into a MP3 file successfully? Why the MP3 file will not play after that I exported?

    Do you know why a file I exported using Adobe Audition doesn't play like a MP3 player?

    Well, to give a detailed response, we will have to a lot more on exactly how you did your export MP3 and where it will not play.

    However, a quick generic conjecture is that the hearing can make MP3 bit rate Constant (CBR) and bit rate Variable (VBR), as well as a wide range of bit rates.  (All of this is implemented on the screen POPS when you save in MP3 format).  Some MP3 players get picky with the files VBR and others do not like the low rate files then you better check these settings on your export.

  • Why my batch file does not run properly in Task Scheduler

    My .bat files do not work with Task Scheduler.

    For testing purposes, I created a very simple, one line .bat file:

    ECHO this is a test. > TestFile.txt

    If I run this file by double-clicking it, it works correctly and created a text with a single line of text document.

    But if I create a task to run this file, the text file is NOT created.  For the task history log, said that the task was started and completed successfully but no text file is created.

    Any thoughts?  Thank you.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I solved my problem.

    It turns out that you can't use the full path to the .bat file in "Program/script" field of the Scheduler of tasks but rather than actual .bat file name, then the rest of the way in the field "start in".

    The image should probably be on a web site accessible publicly somewhere and referred to in the HTML code.  Otherwise, you are probably referring to it in the HTML code as C:\USERS\\desktop\whatever.jpg--> which is not accessible on the internet / to the general public.

    Hello

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
    the cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.
