Windows® XP file Association problems? Copyright 2003 - Doug Knox? his files work?

It is wrong to go all that is your problem.

I have instructions to run the Doug Knox fix as a copy/paste of my notes, I'll never have to type it once again, which means that (at least for the EXE usual file association problem), I like to use, but we don't know what your question is.  In fact, the majority of the stuff I answer here is just a copy and paste, I have fixed some things so many times...

Here's what I have copy and paste about afflicted EXE file associations:

Looks like your Windows file associations have to dispose. This means that XP doesn't know what to do with files by looking at the file extension (.exe for executables)., .doc for MS documents, etc.

If you don't have it you, something done for you - most likely malware.

Go to this site WWW by Doug Knox:

http://www.dougknox.com/

On the left, click on the Win XP fixes, file Association fixed and read the instructions at the top of the page.

Download the EXE File Association Fix on your desktop, unzip the file and apply it by following the instructions at the top of the page, then to restart and test.

Run the following scans for malware, and then fix any problems:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The circular kernel context logger takes frequent pictures of the system in a file of 100 MB of RAM (not on the disc). It is needed.

    To fix the error "not start", look for the next file in the %windir%\panther\ folder:

    He can stay in the \panther\ folder.

  • Windows has encountered a problem, try to copy a file... why?

    Windows has encountered a problem, try to copy a file... why?  MikeW

    There are many possible reasons.  What you have tried to do over time?  Is there additional information printed with this message?  A few possible reasons come to mind:

    • The file was opened exclusively by the operating system or another program
    • The full path to the file from the C:\... contain more than 256 characters
    • Permissions problem: you have read permissions for the file or permission in writing to the destination
    • The file entry or damaged directory disk sector. (Run the command chkdsk with the /R option to this address)
    • The file is larger than 4 GB and you try to copy it to a disk formatted with a FAT file system.

    I'm sure that there are more reasons, but need more information.

    Hello! I have a problem with windows live movie maker. I had been using windows live movie maker before and was able to make several projects already.  But recently I could no longer open my files and the following messages keep appearing on: "Windows Live Movie Maker has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  I downloaded the Windows Live Movie Maker program several times, but it does not work.  Does this mean I can have deleted a file/program to do work and recover all the projects I've done?  I remembered that once, I was removing a "Windows Live" in the program folder files because I wasn't happy with the Windows Live Messenger, kept popping up, which was not able to use, so I removed it from the list.

  • Cannot save files Windows 7, sharing violation excel 2007 - have lost many hours of work that it corrupts the file, after it tried so-called recovered-the same file on the machine xp without problem.

    Cannot save files Windows 7, sharing violation excel 2007 - have lost many hours of work it corrupts files after he supposedly has found and tried the same (copied) files on the machine xp without problem. Also sometimes on the stand alone machine without network and excel files generated on this machine. Any thoughts?

    If you use Internet Security of Trend Micro with Windows 7, this combination is probably what is causing the problem.

    To fix this, open the main Trend Micro Internet Security (or similar). Open the Virus & Spyware controls. Choose the Protection against viruses & Spyware; Click settings, then advanced settings. Uncheck the box next to 'save files before you try to remove the virus '.

    This solved my save all problems in Excel 2007 and Word 2007.

  • Windows 8 Pro: email problems, files not shown.

    I installed Windows 8 Pro on my PC and laptop.  I use a yahoo address.  Problem 1: When I enter the Mail App on the start screen and the e-mail page there is a difference between the "applications" available at the bottom of the screen when the right button of the mouse is used.  On the PC only four options, two on the left (Sync & Pin at the beginning) and two on the right (move the brand & unread).  When the same thing is done on the Laptopthere are nine options available, four options on the left (pine Sync, folder, start Options & Select All) as well as five options on the right (Print, flag, Junk, Move & mark as unread).  How do all these options to display on the PC as well?  Problem 2: on the laptop, in the upper left of the Yahoo screen appears on the screen and at the top right, there are three options (new (+), return to sender (answer) & clear).  Next to the sign of Yahoo, overcoming the messages, there are two available options (all & the icon 'search').   On the PC the Yahoo (upper-left) and three options at the top right is available, but there is no option available above messages: I can not select all or search because there is nothing is not displayed.  Messages goes all the way to the top.

    Problem 3: I want to send something that seems impossible to select the entire message.  I can not also transmit images.  How can I select the full message and transfer ALL the content?  This problem is on the PC and the laptop.  Fact: I had no problem with the good old XP and wonder why I spent the money to "upgrade"?  It seems also impossible to talk to any human being when you need help, a very frustrating situation.  Your help will be appreciated.  Kind regards.  Brandie.

  • on my laptop running windows 7 more information disappeared from the window - topics (file, publishing, display, etc.), address bar and navigation buttons - everything I can see tabs - how do the lack of points to display

    Missing on my laptop running windows 7, all the info displayed at the top of the home page. All headings, i. e. file, change the view etc. disappeared. There is no address bar. There is no "home button", the button refresh, etc.. My wife was using the machine when it happened, so I don't know what she was doing. How to restore these features?

    most of the information has disappeared from the window - topics (file, publishing, display, etc.), address bar and navigation buttons

    When all the toolbars are missing, you are probably in full screen view, press F11 to toggle mode full-screen, or you can move the cursor to the top of the screen.

    The real problems you describe all set thanks to an extension and customization, see 01:10 steps later...

    You can make Firefox 5.0 looks not like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered 1 to 10 points in the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1 resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.

    It is much more beyond these first 10 steps in the list, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

    Toolbars and their contents have been rearranged and buttons have been merged dual-use, the net result is that I could see about 25% of what I had before and recorded about 10% of the area of the toolbar with great loss of functionality to hide things that might already be hidden and to create confusing buttons that already have keyboard shortcuts and don't need to be seen. The only good thing that has been ' Ctrl + / ' has been added to hide/show the modules bar that has not replaced the status bar.
