Windows VISTA problems with ".exe" files
I'm on Windows Vista Home Premium, 64-bit, SP2 on a HP Pavilion desktop computer. Recently developed a problem when you try to run any file with an ".exe" extension results in a window asking to "choose the application I want to use to open the file" or "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. " Any ideas?

Satellite Pro P300-135/Windows Vista / problem with microphone and Crystal
Hello
Can someone help me please? I reinstalled my Vista and my microphone does not work. When I try to plug in my headphones, they are also dead. Nobody knows what kind of drivers can be responsible for this?
And how you try reinstalling Vista? Using the recovery image (factory settings) or you try to install the clean version of Vista?
Sorry, but I don't see any sense why you are doing this. Your laptop comes with Vista. Is there a particular reason to achieve?

original title: problem with file ntsd.exe
I just did a check of norton power Eraser which revealed that I have a problem with the file ntsd.exe. Does anyone have suggestions about what to do to fix it? Thank you very much.
Hi JohnABuckley,
- Are you facing any problem on the computer?
Ntsd.exe is a process belonging to the Microsoft symbolic debugger that lets you debug applications in user mode.
As the link below, it says that there is a risk that Norton Power Eraser can select some legitimate programs for removal. You should carefully review the analysis results page before deleting the files. I suggest that you don't delete the file unless you are facing problems with the computer.

What is the destination folder that the date be underneath? In the top right it says users who suggests, you try to put the photos on top of your username instead of under your username. Maybe that's the problem. So change your folder in the drop-down list at the bottom right of what it should be rather than users, and if you're going to show us the destination of your photos at least scroll through the list of folders down right so that we can see which is the white highlight.

I can change my names of files successfully, mp3s to be precise, uniformly. Windows Explorer or Altap Salamander, there really is no problem with my file name.
The problem starts to appear when I put my mp3s in my playlists (VLC, WMP, media player in my cell phone). The old file name keeps showing even though I have already changed the original/source file.For example, a song I downloaded bears the title "WTF * Chris Brown-int ' love ' so I changed it to 'Chris Brown - International Love' since that's how I name not all the thousands of my mp3s. But when I added the song to my playlist, the original title is one that appears and not the new. This case is the same with most of my Media Player.Is it possible for me to keep my desired/preferred file names when using the Media Player files? It's really so frustrating.Usually, media players like WMP does not show the name of the file of the song, but display the title and artist in the song tags (also known as metadata). To change these tags in WMP, add your songs to the library WMP library, right click on the tag you want to edit, and select Edit.
You can also change the labels of the song with external tools such as Mp3tag.
