Why the microsoft program browserchoice.exe is continuously loaded on startup.

Every time you start, the program MS 'browserchoice.exe' load and asks me to choose a browser.  IHAVE IE8 installed under XP.  I tried to remove the program in system32, but it keeps re-appearance.  Why?  Why it continually starts, even when I have a laoded browser.  Who installed on my PC and keeps reinstalling him!  It is an unjustified intrusion.

Hello PaulMatHome,

Thanks for the return of the response.  Since you have already defined IE in your program by default, I would scan your computer for any virus or malware.  How long this issue has been produced?  What AV software you running on your system?

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    __________________________________________________________

  • Why the fan on my macbook pro continue to run at a fast pace for long periods?

    The MacBook Pro mid-2010

    OS X El Capitan, 10.11.3 version

    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 duo

    Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 320 M 256 MB

    163 GB available

    iWorks ' 09 has been upgraded to the latest versions

    No new upgrade is available for the system.

    My Question: Why the fan on my macbook pro continues to run at a fast pace for long periods?

    I guess that the fan runs constantly, because the CPU is working at a high rate. I rebooted several times but without any resolution systems. At the bottom of the computer is very hot at times so place the laptop on an object that allows good air circulation. This problem occurs intermittently every few weeks or more. I wonder if it is downloading an important upgrade, do a scan of viruses, or by working as a bot. Lights for hours. Currently, I estimate that it has worked rapidly to possible 6 hours. Thank you.

    It will usually be to dissipate internal heat from running resource intensive applications.

    Download and install a temperature/speed control application.

    Open the activity monitor all THE PROCESSES and CPU to display values between high and low.

    When the fan speeds up, post pictures of both for review.

    Also run Apple Hardware Test:

    Note that an error free AHT is inconclusive.

  • Why the process of installing XP mode continually fails when I try to run the Setup program for the first time?

    I have a new desktop computer with windows 7 Professional.  I downloaded Microsoft's XP mode.  Whenever we start the installation, it will fail at the last step of the installation process.  Several times we ran the installation program.  We tried to re-download the software.  Always the same result.  Setup has failed.  Any suggestions?

    -Temporarily disable your anti-virus utility.

    -Also, make sure you install Windows Virtual PC before installing Windows XP mode.

  • Why the Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 screen Capture will not open?

    I don't really know where to put this so if this is in the wrong section, sorry.
    I installed this program several times (several versions) and whenever I click the link it does not open. Nothing happens. Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 (the editing program) works fine, but the screen capture program wont open. Why?
    It does not open with administrator either. I use Windows 7, btw.

    So after changing back to extended desktop, I could restart the program, so I thought about it, but it would have been nice if she had worked in eyefinity mode. Well.

  • Why the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader is reported as compatible in Windows 8 Upgrade Advisor when it is not compatible at all?

    I recently updated from Windows XP to Windows 8.

    I ran the Upgrade Advisor to check for any compatibility issues, at the time I had the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader plugged in and installed.

    The Adviser assured me it was compatible.

    I installed the upgrade and surprise, surprise... it does not work, there is no drivers for it, and the original drivers do not work as they are much too old to be signed.

    Now I could accept that he may have been a mistake, unless it's Microsoft peripheral brand... Surely they can get these right at least!

  • When the external program C and Java Class loaded in a schema

    Hi all
    I understand that both an external C program and a Java class are loaded after two of them are called in the PL/SQL environment, once they are published and loaded into shared libraries. Is this correct?

    Best regards
    Val

    An external procedure is never loaded into a schema. Oracle calls the external program.

    A Java class that is part of a Java stored procedure, however, is charged as a PL/SQL procedure is created - at compile time.

  • Why the hyperlinks do not work when Firefox loads a new web page?

    Today, no reason apparent, and for the first time in the years of using Firefox, I find that when a new page loads I can't select any of the hyperlinks on the page. What happens on 90% or more pages I have access. If I navigate to another application (for example, by using Alt + Tab) and return to Firefox, the hyperlinks will work. But if I select one of them and a new page will load, I'm unable to click on hypertext links back.

    This is manifested by the cursor remaining as an arrow and do not suddenly change hands hyperlinks sharp when you move. It also seems to affect the ability to use the GUI buttons and the minimize/restore/maximize/close buttons in the upper left corner of the title bar. Ribbon menu items, oddly enough, seem to work as usual, except that if I open, say, tools/options, I have to leave Fireox and vice versa, before being able to use the Options window that opens. It also prevents me from selecting other tabs. And I still have problems using the Forum of Support Mozilla's form to post this question.

    I tried Firefox running in safe mode and reinstall the software, all to no effect

    is nothing in particular happened

    You have this problem when running in Firefox SafeMode?
