Windows 7 - cannot open programs

Similar Questions

• Windows Vista cannot open programs and icons disappeared

  I have a Fujitsu with Windows Vista Tablet.  Last year, it was fine. Recently, I downloaded this program called Stardock, to change my login screen. It is sometimes unresponsive so I restarted the program and the problem would be solved.

  A few days after I downloaded some themes from their Web site and load them into the program itself, and he did not. After that, when I tried to reopen, he said something. I restarted, and now the login screen is black, my icons on the desktop are missing (cannot see passwords files and not the images). In addition, you know when you open certain programs, the screen darkens and a small box will appear to ask permission, yes it does not. Now, can't open some programs such as Ccleaner. All I get is "file system error: 65535" I also can't open my control panel.

  The only things I've done so far are by restarting my computer like 3 times already and the removal of the program from stardock. [I still have the themes downloaded from my well com]

  I doubt that it is a virus, but any help would be appreciated since this is a tablet that I use for school purposes.

• cannot open programs by right click and run as administrator

  had a virus earlier today, I think it was the security of windows one... anyway I got rid of it with malwarebytes and restarted my computer. now, for some reason, I can't run programs without going through a right-click and run as an administrator.
  When I try to run normally (left-click) I get this window "open with."
  I'm not very good with technical terms, but I tried several fixes that have failed

  When I right click, open properties, then open the tab compatibility... "run this program as Administrator" button is grayed out so I can't do anything with that.

  turning UAC enabled or disabled dosent seem to do anything.

  Some programs are completely inaccessible, (like microsoft word)

  Hello
  (1) what exactly happens when you try to open the program of hp photo creations?
  (2) do you get an error message when you try to open the program of hp photo creations?

  I would say that if you have all the previous versions of this software, you will have to remove it.

  HP photo is compatible with Windows 7. If this is not the version you have installed, uninstall it from programs and features, and then download the latest version.

• Windows 7 cannot open com1

  I have 6 computers Toshiba Tecra all bought to use the com port to communicate with data loggers. as provided by Toshiba, they work very well, as soon as they update of windows I get the message cannot open com 1, I have a scanner and nothing else is using the port. If I uninstall the driver of RTP com and reboot it all works, but it is temporary when you restart is not open, I guess it's a windows update issue 7 and follow the procedure to install updates one at a time, but still without success. Windows 7 pro 32 bit as computers alll provided behave the same way. any suggestions?
  I tried many programs of comms and the fertile, one for the data recorders that give the same result in train to test with hyper terminal.
  All updates of drivers and bios are up-to-date Toshiba cannot but feel it should be a problem to update.

  Thanks Dave K

  Hi and thanks for the suggestion, but it's a physical series RS232 port so not concerned by the firewall.
  I solved the problem which turns out be due to an update to Adobe acrobat reassign the PDF printer to com1. Microsoft to not update as I thought.

  Thanks again.

• After a black screen with a cursor, the performed system restore, now cannot open programs, USB drive

  Original title: Windows 7 Home Edition

  Yesterday, my pc only has a black screen with a cursor. I tried to restore on another point but then after starting upwards and put my password, I get the home screen but cannot open any programs. I can't use the USB stick or cd / dvd drive so how should proceed to solve this? I can't put my external modem to make a back up and I really want to fix this without losing all the data on my pc. I can run programs in safe mode and windows installation disc opens in SafeMode as well, however I can't set safe mode.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
