Windows file extension keeps opening every 2 minutes?

Windows leader continues expansion opening every 2 minutes, I have like 8 windows open automatically, how do I stop?

Hi JoeyMashike,

(1) what is you receive the exact error message?

(2) since when are you facing this problem?

(3) remember to make changes?


 

Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

Follow step 1 in the link below,
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

  • Why word file attachments keep open in wordpad

    It is a new computer with windows 7 and microsoft office already installed, when I open a word file, sometimes it opens in wordpad, why do that?

    Hello

    Make a right click any word (with extension .doc or .docx) file and let the mouse on 'Open with', click on choose a default program..., highlight the word and check the box always 'using the program selected... '. "and then click OK.

    Repeat for the other extensions, i.e. If you have found a .doc first rehearsal for a .docx or vice versa.

  • Problems with external hard drive files, Aperture & keep open.

    When I opened (ie the "expand") the folder to an external drive such as a USB key, I want it remains open (expanded). But as soon as I open another folder on the C: drive (ie the root directory), the external drive folder closes its doors (IE 'collapse' s). It's annoying, I have to re - open every time I want to copy a file to it. How can I make such a record remains open until I chose to close it?

    Also, is it possible to make her open folder (ie the "expand") automatically when I plug in an external drive, including a USB Reader/key/paste?

  • Why my Windows 7 theme keep changing every time that I reboot?

    I recently bought a laptop Acer Ferrari One with pre-installed Windows 7. I have customized the Windows 7 theme, but every time I turn off reset them to the default desktop background settings when I switich it turn it back on. The other parameters remain the same as the color of the sounds, screensaver and window, but why change my wallpaper? I saved the theme I created and continually delete one keep the laptop automatically create by default. How to stop? Is it possible that I can do my default theme?

    Thank you

    I experienced the same problem, but this solved it for me.

    Go to regedit > HKEY_Current_User > Software > Microsoft > Windows > DWM

    Once in DWM, right-click on an empty area inside it and create two new DWORD value (32), as shown below.

    Blur

    Animations

    Once these are added, right-click on them and click on change to ensure that the value is set to 0. Then open cmd (command prompt) as an administrator.  -Windows 7 users can open quickly as administrator by typing cmd in the start menu search box, and then shift + right click on the command prompt > open as administrator

    net stop uxsms

    net start uxsms

    __________________________________

    Once those who are made, open the start menu and right click on computer > properties.

    Go to advanced system settings. On the Advanced tab, click settings under performance. Change the default to Custom, and then hit apply and OK.

    You may need to disable a list item to hit apply, but double-check it after hitting apply first and then re - re-check the list item and click on apply. This will prevent the computer to change the custom to 'let windows choose what's best for my computer.

    This will fix the problem. Looks like a lot to do, but really, it isn't and is easy.

  • Windows 7 upgrade bsod now every 30 minutes - Tosh P200 BB7

    I have just upgraded to Windows 7 - install went well, but now I get the bsod every 30 minutes approximately. The error messages indicate a problem of kernel and disk error hard - not sure it might be. It charges fine, but then (even if I leave just sitting after reboot) it ' new bsod. Clues? I tried chkdsk but who have not as well.

    Did you do a clean install or upgrade to Vista?

    If Vista is bloated with a lot of applications, some applications/drivers can cause a problem in Win7.

    You may need to reinstall Win7 with a clean install

  • WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER KEEPS OPENING

    Everytime I open my computer keeps opening the WMC. I googled the problem and tried all support responses to this problem.  That is to say going in and deselecting WMC started etc..  I also tried to come back in a month to a date before the problem started.  He works for the next time I open the computer, but then the next day, back to the opening on its own. I checked and my spyware and security is up to date. Help, please.  And please don't give me the same answers I have already tried.  Please be precise too.  In simple terms.

  • My presario CQ5700y cant office w/window 7 64 bit open files. only windows media cntr keeps opening

    all lead to windows media center. more my games, documents, even norton 360 open WMC page which I've never seen elsewhere. help please. I saw another post offering the download of some powerful extraction software, but it could use a few tips before you unleash on my computer

    Hi Dan,.

    The information is great.

    It may be worth trying to reset Windows Media Center as follows.

    Click on the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open programs and features, click on "Windows turn features on or off", open media features and uncheck the box Windows Media Center.  Click Yes, then OK and then restart the computer.

    When Windows has restarted, click the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open programs and features, click on "Windows turn features on or off", open check Windows Media Center and media features.  Click Yes and then OK, and when it has finished installing, restart the computer again.

    If the above does not help, try the following.

    If you do not, use another PC to create a Windows 7 recovery CD.  Download the ISO from the link below.

    Windows 7 64 bit

    You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  One time created, or if you already have this, insert the CD and restart at the start of it.  Select repair.

    Select 'Repair your computer' and follow Option 2 in the guide here to see if you can run the Windows system restore this way - if you can, choose a restore point right before WMC received the update that started this problem.

    Let me know.

    Kind regards

  • Windows Media Player keeps opening by itself. Whenever I close it, it opens upward again.

    Also, when it is open, it keeps dominant control of pc by making the application active every few seconds.  If I go into another window it comes down soon to WMP as the active application.

    This is a new computer.  He did not at first, but began to arrive a few days after installing iTunes.  I realized that I was still running SP1 of Vista so I downloaded and installed SP2.  He ran for awhile ok then after a few hours of running WMP began to open again.

    Sometimes he begins to start and sometimes it starts after the computer is running.  The last time he started to happen, I was in the middle of another windows update software and was not actively working on the computer.  Just run the update.

    It won't let me be disable it with the Task Manager.  As soon as I stop the application it opens right away again.

    I searched my card documents and settings of virus with the latest free version of AVG and it is came with a Trojan infection and moved to the vault. This solves the popping up of WMP: D!

    In addition, the Trojan horse was named "Agent2.BMMK Trojan horse"
    See you soon and I hope this has been useful to some ^^
    EDIT: I have the Lycosa keyboard also but have never had a problem with WMP pop-ups until today. Could be the keyboard, but there still everything went well after the removal of the Trojan horse.

  • Clean installed and active Windows 8 signed me off every 10 Minutes guest "you are about to be signed within 30 seconds.

    Hi all

    I have reinstalled Windows 8 on one of my Acer laptop which came with OEM Windows 8. Because the key Embedded BIOS, install never asked for a key. After you have installed the wireless network driver, the computer is connected to the internet and glass get immediately activated. However, the system alerted me 'You are about to be signed in 30 seconds' shortly after and rebooted itself.

    I guess it was because that the limitation of the inactive windows (when I connected first of all, I have not get Windows activated due to no internet), so I let it reboot and continue to play with it. But the reboot thing won't go away.

    One thing is that when the system first rebooted itself, no installation or major update does, so I guess that nothing dangerous is done.

    Someone met with such a problem and how to fix it?

    Thank you

    I tried to restore all starts and start services gradually from the clean boot state.

    What is interesting, is that, after all what can once again, the system is absolutely fine.

    I guess the question was because of the activation process, or a problem a start-up program or service such as a fast storage intel, content etc.

    Thanks for the help, I think I should be fine.
