  • .exe files are not open; affected by the Windows Security Center of lazy virus

    Hello!

    As the title indicates, none of my executables will open his; on the contrary, when I click on an icon or similar function (as in the start menu), I'm inclined to the screen 'open with... ». I noticed that most often, if I run the program as administrator, it is likely to work without having to manually find the file - still a bit tedious however.

    I'm assuming that since I was recently hit by the virus which is a fake Windows Security Center, something my registry has also been hit (take into account the fact that I'm not savvy computer in the slightest). It happened on my user account initial and rather than take action on the right, then, I decided that I would use the other account that I had to install a program better anti-virus (Norton provided ISP) than the one I had been using (the two admin). At that point, I had finished all my activity moved to the new account and it worked very well until the virus had one possessing this account as well - delete on the first user account seemed to have deleted only the effects of my account but still affected everything I did after that. This time, I went and deleted all accounts and checked to ensure that it is not at all. After getting rid of the virus, it's the same thing: none of my .exe files will open without using the monitor "open with...". ». I'm not really sure what action to take from here, I have not done much to remedy the situation, and I'm going right through the screen of "open with...". "to get to what whatever - so any suggestions or help would be very appreciated.

    Keypoints:

    • .exe files are not open (However, in some cases, the "Run as Administrator" option overrides it)
    • recently hit with (deleted) and fake Windows Security Center virus ; That's when the .exe is no longer
    • is not much in terms of addressing this problem, do not know what to do with regard to the question of if my situation calls for something specific

    I tried to cover everything that seemed important to address; However, if there is more need information, let me know. I am about average in terms of computer navigation and therefore my understanding of what many of these commands, functions and files is a bit Basic.

    Thank you! :)

  • executable files (.exe files) are opened in Adobe reader.

    • My friend, I don't understand how he did it, changed the .exe on its computer files settings. He says, click with the right button on a file .exe, selected option «openwith...» "and chose the adobe reader software. Now all .exe files are being opened on the adobe reader, including the filesystem as guest, paint, calculator, browsers, uninstaller etc. Now, we can not even uninstall the adobe reader software, since even the unistaller is an exe file and will open in adobe reader. System Restore does not work. What can I do to help him?

    Hi Christophe,

    If you can access the internet somehow, if you are using Vista, go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll to the EXE and click or double-click it to run the program to restore EXE file associations. Once done, do the same for LNK entry. That should restore your programs. If you are using Windows 7, go to http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html . If you are using XP, go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm.

    If no internet access, copy the appropriate reg entries to a flash drive on another computer, transfer to Office the 'bad' computer to and run them from there to make the changes.  Reboot and you should be good to go.

    If it still does not help, try the following guide to our Member Brian M - which shows four methods that can be used to fix the Windows file associations.

    I hope this helps.

    This means that they need a driver. In order to send you the link to the right driver, I need to know what model of network card you have.

  • My FieldChangeListeners are no longer works

    Hello

    My code is too long to post here so I'll try to explain. I've built a number of calculators with EditFields and ButtonFields, that work well. The ButtonFields have FieldChangeListeners that do things when they are clicked.

    The last calculator to build I added a few TextSpinBoxFields in a PopupScreen. I used the SpinnerDemo to help with the code. So I can make a selection of spinners OK, but now my ButtonField listeners are no longer works. When I click a button the pop-up menu main upwards instead.

    Part of the code SpinnerDemo a navigationClick() and touchEvent() overloaded, so I wonder if they caused the problem.

    If anyone can help with this I would be very happy.

    Ah, Yes. The custom button class is indeed a problem. You need to make it react to the touch of the events. To remove the context menu, you need to uncheck as well as click on the events button. Something like this should do it:

    protected boolean touchEvent(TouchEvent message) {    switch (message.getEvent()) {    case TouchEvent.CLICK:        fieldChangeNotify(1);        // fall through    case TouchEvent.UNCLICK:        return true;    }    return super.touchEvent(message);}

  • My .exe files are not open as they should after a virus removal and some do not work right.

    Here's the problem. I did a scan for viruses with AVG and deleted viruses from my computer. One of those annoying virus seems to be a program called Vista Antivirus that I had never downloaded or installed. I had a feeling that it was not good when she appeared all first. After that AVG has found to be a threat, he removed. This is where the problems started.

    After the removal of Antivirus Vista, my programs refuse to open without a right click and run as administrator. In some cases, like my WMP, the music and the Zune program, they do not work properly. Whenever I try to open a song in WMP or Zune, it won't play them or videos. Instead, as with all other programs, the 'Open with' window as if it does not recognise .exe files. So now you can see my aggravation.

    There is one more problem. After that I restart and login to my account and open the Task Manager to close unnecessary programs that I don't need or want to open, there are usually a whole list of them. However, as I did this virus removal, only a few main Basic programs that are needed to power the computer are open. Since most of those who opened before were .exe files, I can see where is the problem.

    Honestly, I'm stuck for what to do to solve this problem. I'll do a system restore and see if it works (and I hope it will be). If this isn't the case, I need little help and instructions to fix this annoying problem.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and help out me.

    Edit: System Restore has been a success. Is there anyway I can stop this from happening in the future?

    Hi ignite444,

    Glad to hear that the problem is solved!

    Unwanted programs or virus downloaded on the computer without the user's knowledge.

    Important Antivirus software must be updated regularly to stay effective against new viruses. Most of the antivirus software are designed to update automatically, but you can also update your software manually.
    You should also keep during the virus scan regularly.

    Update your anti-virus software

  • EXE files is no longer the link

    Hello

    Were create a Director file and buttons with the 'leap to the behavior of film' used in order to connect several different, and good films that it works with the .dir files, when we publish the film for .exe files, the links no longer work. does anyone know how we can fix this please?

    Hello

    Mike responded to the question but just to expand a little bit.

    As Mike said, your EXE since the beginning of film, and then all those remaining
    Maybe DIR, DXR or DCR. In general, you would go with DXR (protected) for a
    executable. You can go with DCR (Shockwave) If you want to compress your content.

    Generally, you would create a stub projector. Here is a tutorial about this:
    http://www.FBE.UNSW.edu.au/learning/Director/publishing/projector.asp

    If you want to have a single EXE with all your movies, you can do it, but it's
    not recommended from a speed and memory management point of view, it is not very
    good.

    Just a correction to the message from Mike. -Once you create an EXE, it incorporates that
    film in the projector. You can rename the EXE file to what you want, but the
    original film is still stuck there with its original name. For example, you can link to
    This original film inside the EXE without the need to have the DCR/DIR/DXR
    Version.

    For example, you have:
    Opening.dir
    Movie1.dir
    Movie2.dir
    and say that they bond to each other.

    You can create the following to your final delivery and put them in a new
    geographical area:
    Start.exe
    Movie1.dxr
    Movie2.dxr
    Start.exe is made to open and the other 2 films were protected.

    If you have a behavior inside the 'opening' that links to 'Film1', the start.exe will be
    jump to this film by the projector. Then, you may even notice there was a
    change. Same thing would happen if you skipped now to "movie2. If you now jump back
    of 'openness', it still works even if you do not have this file. This is because
    It can be found inside the EXE.
