Windows XP - double click does not work on the desktop icons

Hi all

I have a really strange and weird problem!

My brother-in-law put me back is equipped with all the malware as possible you can imagine... Virus, Trojan, Adware, Rootkit horse... etc.

A collection of all the wicked thing you can collect on the web today!

I clean everything with the help of several antivirus and UBCD4win, reinstall a new and up-to-date antivirus and a firewall and everything seems to be clean now after 2 days of work

I have just one strange thing. When I double-click on any shortcut for the program on the desktop, it starts more software!

Same thing on the menu!

But if I double-click 'My Computer' or another icon of system on the desktop, it works as expected!

On the shortcut for the program, if I did a right click and select it 'open' it works

I checked the option mouse, everything seems ok, I tried to create a new user on the machine, but it works the same way!

Something strange also and can be connected, when I press "Windows key + E" to launch the Explorer, it works or...

The simplest solution would be to re - install windows XP, but I really prefer to avoid

Does anyone have a suggestion/idea (good)?

Thanks in advance for your help

I answer to myself :-)

I solve my problem by going back to the old system restore point!

I had to reinstall/uninstall an application, but now double click works well

  • Jet 7: Stream 7 Double click does not work in the program

    Hello

    I just bought a 7 run 8.1 flow win specifically for Ham Radio software that decodes the digital signals of my radio. The program that I am running is WSJT ver 1.5.

    The question I have is that double tap/double click in this software seems to be disabled. I tried to change the compatibility of the program to Win XP, Win 7, etc, but it makes no difference. I've updated the drivers, once again no difference.

    The software works fine on Win 8 and 10 to win on two laptops that I have access to

    I have someone has any ideas I can try, I'd be very grateful.

    Thanks in advance.

    Touch screen double click the work fine in Windows?  I have 10 Windows installed on my Stream 7, if I click once on the Recycle Bin on my desktop it highlights it.  If I double-click on it, it opens. There is the double click speed setting in the mouse settings also where you can test.  If it works with Windows, but not this software, you can check with the Publisher of the software?

  • Windows Server Update service does not work after the installation of KB2720211

    I have a Server 2008 SP1 32-bit Standard, which had the role of Server Update for the Windows software installed connected to a WSUS upstream server and everything worked, with 17 clients connected to him and get everything their approved patches.  It was a new server starting with WSUS added at this time 1 months ago.  He had to be upgraded to SP2 S2008 which I did and WSUS have continued to function.  After being on SP2, there was another 152 patches to be applied and after that WSUS does not work anymore.  It appears 1 patch that has been applied has been KB2720211 that seems to cause problems for a number of people.

    The problem is that the update service does not start.  An error message comes back that the service has not responded in a timely fashion and I can't find the log files anywhere on what it is.  Here is what has been done so far all that in the same issue:

    1 deleted WSUS and restarted and installed it again.

    2 Remove WSUS and Windows Internal Database, restarted and installed it again (using the download of KB972466).

    2.1 install SQL Management Studio and logged to an internal database SUSDB and checked it is not set to single user (I believe it is set for multiuser name but I'm going from memory)

    3. install the KB2720211.

    4. installation KB2734608

    5 remove WSUS and Windows Internal Database, restarted and installed it again (using the download of KB972466).

    I am looking for any information on how to solve what is the question, because there is nothing in the log files I can find and no event in the windows event viewer.  I am ready to start with the server however if there is something I can look at to possibly solve the problem, please let me know.

  • Hard disk formatted, freshly installed Windows 8, but it does not work with the old key

    I had bought a Lenovo Z570 two years back, with Original Windows 7 Home Premium.

    When Windows 8 released in November 2012, I had bought and upgraded online for her.

    I had used the Windows 8 since then. Yesterday, due to various problems, I had to format my hard drive, and when I finally managed to install Windows 8 on my laptop again, it does not allow me to activate windows 8 using my normal key (he says that this key did not work)

    It was the key in the email from the seller, and I have an e-mail, which has a Bill to prove.
    I guess this could be due to the PC 1 by purchase clause, however, it's the same PC (more like laptop). So I do not understand why I would not be allowed to activate the software I used earlier on the same laptop still on the same laptop after installing it.

    Please get to me as soon as possible if there is a solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey! Thanks for your help, but I had refreshed my windows 8 in the meantime and connected to the internet after that. and then when I followed your instructions and run slui.exe, it says that windows is activated. so I guess that the problem is solved.

    Unfortunately, you must assign the context menu for each item by using the Context Menu of the element property. Also, unfortunately, the built-in Set_Item_Property() you cannot set this property during execution; You must set the value of the property in the design. You can use the library Java JDAPI dyamically change your binary forms (.fmb). Search the Forum on "JDAPI" for more information on the use of this library. If you are not competent Java, only option available for you would select all the elements that you want to use this menu drop-down and set the mass.

  • Firefox does not open from the desktop icons

    Hi guys: were adware problem by resetting firefox market and stop for 12 months. Now I virtue open in the... Task Manager shortcut icons / start bar will not work. Any advice much appreciated

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • "back" button does not work and the home page does not display on startup

    My buttons next and previous no longer work. They show just gray and I cannot click on them.
    Also my home page does not appear when I launch firefox.
    I reinstalled firefox 4 and then I went back to firefox 3.6.16 and have the same problem in both versions.
    Don't know what to do anymore
    I just found out that when I opened a second window everything works well in the second window, but it still does not work in the first window.
    The same thing happens when I close both windows. The first window of my home page does not appear and the back button does not work, but the second window is operating normally. Including my home page.

    Try:

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

    • Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.
