Windows XP does not have the files?

I had security 2012 Windows XP on the computer.  I was finally able to remove the files, but now windows does all the files.

I can't launch the restoration or downloaded files.  I can't even open word or outlook.

If you get the message "Please choose an application to open this file" when you try to start a program, go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

Read the notes at the top of the page, and then download and use the EXE file Association fix (you should also fix the LNK (shortcut) file Association).

If you don't get this error message, please provide more information: what happens when you try to run an executable?  What version of Windows XP, including the service pack is installed?  What antivirus application is installed, and when their subscription expire?  You allowed your protection lapse antivirus for any period of time?

  • Windows XP does not have exe files

    My computer has been infected by a virus that exceeded AVG 9.
    I removed the virus using Malwarebytes but after deleting Windows does not recognize exe files more.
    I tried to restore to a point before the infection, but I had recently cleaned up but a restore point and virus was present after the restoration.
    I also checked the registry and checked all the entries associated with the exe files and found no errors... Suggestions that don't involve wiping the entire hard drive?  I really want to do it AGAIN... It would be the second time in a year.

    Hi Ron!

    The normal way is:
    Mail C:\Users\[username]/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows

    To view it you must show hidden files. Do you it like this:

    • Open a Windows Explorer window.

      • Select my computer in the Start menu, for example.
    • Select Tools | ... Folder options in the menu.
      • On Windows 7, you may need to hold down the Alt key to display the menu.
    • Go to the view tab.
    • Make sure that display drives, folders and hidden files or show the hidden files and folders is selected under hidden files and folders.
      • Alternatively, you can remove the check mark from Hide protected files (recommended) operating system. To access hidden areas of the messaging applications, is usually not necessary. Protected system files are better left unseen.
    • Click OK.

  • Windows Explorer does not display the file or files with fix = folder

    A few days ago I noticed that I have some files seemed not be included in the records, I have worked with. After some fiddling, I find that I can see all the files in a folder if 'fix' (at the top right of the display of the files) is set to "name". Usually the value by default in "folder" but whose value fix folder the subfolders and their content is invisible.

    With fix the name value, I moved some files to another folder and they turned upward correctly. But when I then moved this folder in the folder where I had taken the files and set fix it to the folder again the folder and its files have disappeared.

    I had recently downloaded both Dropbox and Google so I removed the and pulled out another who was supposed to repair/update drivers that I had a problem with many (e.g. printer) drivers disappear just before Christmas. Does not see how this can be related unless there is also a malware somewhere on my computer. I have Norton 360 update and run Windows Defender when he invites me.

    The only other recent change (after the loss of the pilot) was to download all the Windows updates current, even if not necessary.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit. Windows is up to date.

    Right-click on the folder and click Properties,

    Is there a Unlock button on the general section?

    If not,

    Check the hidden box and click on apply.

    This will set all the folders and files as hidden.

    Now to clear the hidden check box, click on apply again.

    This will remove the attribute hidden folders and files,

    Finally click OK and apply and OK your way out.

  • Intel 945 Windows 7, does not have the 32-bit games that require Direct3D.

    OK, so I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    After that I installed Windows 7, games ran fine. Everything was great. I decided to update my graphic drivers a few weeks ago to see if I could get better performance, and now nothing works.

    I installed the 15.12.75.4.64.1930 (8.15.10.1930) driver for 64-bit. Since then when I try and play a game, I get a message saying that Direct3d is not available. When I run dxdiag, Direct3d is not enabled. If I run the 64-bit DXDiag, it is said that direct 3D is activated.

    Help, please. I tried to uninstall the drivers, but then I just get the Stndard VGA graphics driver and I can't do anything.

    It is also it seems to have an impact on flash applications in IE8. When I launch IE8 (32-bit or 64-bit) anything with flash top constantly stutters and flashes several times making it unusable.

    Hi AnanymousDan,

    Since you are facing this problem after the update the display drivers, I suggest you revert to the previous version of display drivers and check if that helps you solve the problem. To restore the drivers, follow these steps:

    1. open Device Manager. To do this, click on start to reduce this includes this im, type Device Manager in the Start Search box, and then click Device Manager in the programs list.

    2. If you updated the device driver, right-click on the device in Device Manager, click Properties, and then click back to the previous version on the driver tab.

    If the steps above do not help, you try to perform a system restore on your computer on the date when it was working fine and check if that helps you solve the problem.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem and then click Next, click Finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Access the link below to learn more about how to repair the operating system and how to restore the configuration of the operating system to a previous point in time in Windows:

  • Windows 7 does not have the activation key - has WORKED in THE PAST

    A year or two ago, I upgraded my computer from Vista to Windows 7. I bought Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade online. The activation key worked exactly as it is supposed to. A few months back, I had a hard drive crash. I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Vista then install Windows 7. Once more, everything works great. Key agreed without any problem. Then about a week and a half, I did an upgrade to my computer. New motherboard, CPU and power supply. I installed Vista on another hard disk, loaded the drivers of the new motherboard and CPU, then installed Windows 7. The activation key has been accepted (the same I use all along) and had no problems until tonight. I'm going to be out of town for the weekend, start and I get a window saying that my version of Windows is not registered and enter the activation key. This time IT would BE NPOT ACCEPT THE KEY what is CAME WITH MY INSTALLER DISK. 3 TIMES. What gives? # ! ? The dey was good a week ago and now it isn't? What has changed while I was out of town and my computer was closed. This looks like a problem with Microsovt and Windows 7. How to get Windows 7 activated as if it was 4 days ago?

    Have you tried to restart by phone?

    Activate Windows 7 manually:
    1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

    2. press enter on your keyboard

    3. Select your country.

    As I suggested previously, conversion to a format like

    You can see the files in the "Multimedia content" pane

    Open the drop directory window and choose an output folder.

    On the left, click on the button "encode".

    Wait... video encoding CPU intensive and can

    Now... try import you again. File WMV in Movie Maker.

    ·         What is the format of the files that you play when you get this error?

    ·         Do you get what this error during playback of all files or a particular file?

    You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    1. the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

    2 - the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

    You can try the steps and check if it makes a difference.

    a. to determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.
