Windows Mail... Application not found

When I click on a link in my email that is an advertisement for a marker, I get an error window with and Http://email address etc and the Application not found error message. It happens with all my email and some of my quick link on my desktop icons. I am running windows vista and have made no change. This just started recently.

Is there a setting somewhere that was accidentally changed?

This can happen if the default browser is not defined. To resolve this problem, use the default programs to reset preferences to default Web browser.

Reset the web browser by default

Step 1

1. click on start, default programs

2. Click set your default programs

3 select your browser from the list

4. click on set this program as default

5. click on OK.

Then proceed as follows:

Step 2

1. click on settings by default access and computer program Set

2. click on continue if you see the user account control prompt.

3. click on Customize

4 Select your browser from the list

5. click on OK.

I hope this helps.

  • Windows Defender - Application not found (in Windows 7 professional OS)

    Hello

    I have a computer running on Windows 7 Professional on my place of work. However, Windows Defender does not seem to work properly because it cannot be opened when searched for in the START Menu and the Windows Defender icon is not correct (please refer to the screenshot below):

    Probably, I suppose that someone had deleted the Windows Defender software before I used the computer.

    I would like an active Windows Defender to protect your computer. If all goes well, it can be fixed or re-install the software on the computer.

    Please, can someone help me with the correct solution?

    Thanks in advance,

    Jenn

    By your screenshot, it seems you have installed MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials).  The first icon beside the ORB start.  If it is enabled, the Defender must be disabled.

    MSE is supposed to disable Defender when it is installed.  They should not be run at the same time.

    There are a few explanations here:

  • Application not found error-choose the program you want to use to open this file

    Soon all the world.

    I really hope that someone will post a reply to my question as soon as possible. I will try to be as descriptive as I could possibly, in order to solve my problems.

    The main problem is that I can't open some, if all the program files, applications on my windows 7, 32-bit laptop. I'm constantnly get application not found error, showing in a small window address, I was trying to do. Whenever I want to open a program, like the Adobe reader, word of microsoft, excel, mozilla firefox, google chrome - basically everthing, a window opens and is telling me this: choose the program you want to use to open this file: file: acad.exe... and recommend me acrobat from adobe program, any program I was trying to enter (in this case autoCAD).

    Cannot open cmd, when I go to system recovery, it says: System Restore could not start. I normally post records in: C and: D sheet music, play music, watch videos and see photos. I found a "hole" not being able to go to the internet via a browser. I discovered it when I went to an online help in some of the trobleshoots. It would open tab in google chrome by itself and then on it, I can browse the internet normally, but only through the said track.

    Currently, the microsoft security essentials performs a custom analysis (: C and: D), because I suspect it is a malware, or some kind of virus. It happened when I tried to download a program from CAD Solidworks 2012 via a site that I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention, that I don't want. Unless it's okay with you :) It begins with a letter t. By the way, I noticed that my: partition D has accumulated 10 GB + more in the space of a few days, because I remember two weeks ago I had close to 70 GB of free space, now it's about 56.3 GB. Curious, because I know that I did nothing so great in this period. Maybe I need to tell you that I get this window, from time to time, when I browse the internet (I never visit suspicious sites, or at least I don't me remember more I visited one in a very long time, like 4-5 months):

    Original title: Windows 7 - Application not found. A big problem or easy-peasy?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    1. What is the complete error message you get when opening a file?
    2. What happens when you try to open the command prompt?
    3. What happens when you try to access the internet by using Internet Explorer?
    4. You did changes to the computer before the show?

    According to the description of problem errors you get "application not found error" and "choose the program you want to use to open this file" and not being is not able to do system restore, it seems that some windows file is corrupted. I also suggest you to post back the results of analysis.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if this is useful:

    Method 1:  Run SFC scan and check for corrupted Windows files and violations of integrity.

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 2:

    For any question, where his prompting you to select the default program
    Try to set the default values for the program
    Change the programs that Windows uses by default

    For any question, where you are not able to download and install firefox, download the file and save it and then try to install firefox.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know the results. Feel free to write us again for any help.

  • Using Windows Vista, when openinga link in Windows Mail that I get "Application not found", what should I do?

    When you try to open an attachment or a link, I get a sign pop up "Application not found".  If I leave my web site providers (Comcast), I open the attachments and links very well.

    For attachments, save them to disk and then right click on them and go to properties and click the button change and indicate what program should open it.   For links, go to the control panel. Default programs | Associate a file type or Protocol with a program and a page down to the HTTP and HTTPS protocols, and set IE as default.
