Sometimes when I try to click on a link, or if I save a link to my desktop, I get an error code when I try to access it that says "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The problem started after I suffered a system failure when installing Norton Internet security.
I have a Dell XPS 600 Desktop, 150 GB, 8 megs
Every time I try to open a Microsoft Word file or Excel file, a popup comes up displaying the "There was a problem sending the command to the program." message. Here is a list of things I've tried so far:
1. Deleted the "Data" registry key from the correct registry path.
2. Ran the "winword.exe /r" command from command prompt
3. Repaired Microsoft Office using the installation CD.
4. Ran the Microsoft Diagnostics (which didn't find any issues).
5. Reassociated the extensions in Control Panel > Default Programs.
6. Ensured that the "Run as administrator" checkbox isn't ticked in winword.exe's properties.
I have the following problem when I double click on a word 2007 doc I get an error message 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn UNIX, for changing the directory path, there is "cd" command. .This works fine in windows 7 too.. But the problem comes when we are trying to change the path using environment variables. .
In UNIX, cd $JAVA_HOME changes the path to the value set for JAVA_HOME,
Similarly is there any command in Windows which does the trick from command prompt for changing path using Environment variables. .
Does any one know how to get the win.ini missing fixed when opening bootcfg/msconfig not found. Also How to change "forcing changes in msconifg" to "not forcing changes" in msconfig from command prompt, as well as opening msconfig from command prompt w/ dos command(s) / paramteters.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have loaded XP on my other pc like 3 times. The first time it lasted a while then started getting blue screens. Reloaded again, same thing. I recently tried again, but this time the system went to blue screen 3 days later. I did notice that after the last MS windows update was finished, it wanted a restart, then after the restart, it would never boot to the OS.
The pc just starts up and goes to the windows boot/splash screen and just keeps repeating itself. I am not sure what to do at this point. Could this be a sign of a bad HDD, or cd-rom drive, maybe the mo-bo?
Would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me with this problem! I do apologize if I should have posted this elsewhere, but am just desperate to get this pc running proper!

View 5 Replies View RelatedFor a couple of weeks now, I've had these windows updates that wouldn't finish installing. I've been trying the recommended solutions that I could find but nothing really helps.
I've tried repairing the Microsoft .NET framework but it fails to repair for some unknown reason.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled it both manually and through windows updater, both failed.
So I recently built my first computer, and I was so excited it was going great, I installed all my drivers, and downloaded some of the software, steam, itunes etc. Anyway I will try to break this down to make this easier to follow,I stepped away while it was downloading LoL ,-I came back to see a screen saying Windows could not repair this computer automatically ,I performed some of the options, reverting to an earlier state, and even using the repair tool on windows itself,I then attempted to reinstall windows entirely, and I would just move some key files over from the Windows.old file,Instead my computer asked me to select which windows I wanted to run, after trying them both neither worked,-after surfing the internet, so I used the command prompt to clear my hard drive, I had figured I would just have to reinstall a few drivers and download some stuff no big deal,but instead my computer still prompts me to select one of two windows to run, again neither working,now installing off of the disk doesn't even finish

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf your having an issue installing programs where you get the error, "windows installer has stopped working", go into your action center (the flag icon in the lower right corner of your task bar), click "change action center settings", then click "customer experience improvement program settings". Once in the settings, select "No, I do not wish to participate" and save your settings.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a strange problem with my mouse. This is the first wireless mouse I have ever used. At first I thought is was my mouse that was acting up. Now I am pretty sure it is my USB ports in the rear of the computer.
My problem is my mouse pointer stops moving constantly. It resembles a trashy ball mouse the way it stops moving with the exception that my pointer suddenly catches up with where it needs to be. During all this time I was considering the possibilities that it could be my mouse or a glitch in windows 7 build 7229.
A few nights ago for the first time my mouse quit responding. I was forced to check it out and try a different port. Non of the rear ports seem to work so I tried a front port. I did not have any trouble with the mouse on the front port. After a few hours I tried a different rear port and after a while the same thing started again. Now for the second time switching back to the front port without any problems.
I am curious if anyone else has had this problem. What do you think it could be?I realize this could be fixed in the Retail versions of Windows 7?
Maybe a driver update is needed.
Does this sound like a problem with the USB chip?
Could there be interference with my wireless network adapter?
I'm not really sure where to start diagnostics. I don't really want to pull my adapter if I can get out of it. What do you guys think?
I can't find a driver for this card. Im testing how fast Win 7 would be on an old rig, but can't get the required drivers for this.
I tried the vista drivers for this card, 96.85 i think, but doesn't work, system restarts, screen goes black, no signal etc.
Any ideas, help?
I have a Canon 3200F scanner which I can't get working on 7 RC 32-bit.
I have downloaded the driver from Canon, installed it and nothing really happened. I then discovered that I needed to install a WIA driver, which I downloaded. But when I try to install it 7 says it may not have installed properly.
The scanner now shows up on the import list under Photoshop CS4, but when I select it to import it then stalls for a short time then tells me it can't connect, and to check the leads etc.
Anyone got any ideas.
I just installed the latest Nvidia driver for Windows 7. I restarted and now have a black screen with the watermark in the lower right corner and a mouse pointer. How do I even roll back the driver? Should I hard shut down and try again?
Forgot about trying in safe mode...hope that does it.
Roll back in safe mode did it but I would be careful using these drivers for x64 Win 7. They say that's what they're for.
Edit more info: If you're looking at this...don't try to uninstall the driver that didn't work form "programs and features". It took ALL display drivers off my system and I went through hell again trying to get any display driver to work.
First start with explaining that I'm new to the forum and to some of the more in depth setup processes. I am currently trying to re-partition my hard drive in order to setup a dual boot. I have just installed windows 7 on the computer, not carrying over anything from the old OS.When I open computer management, it states that of the total 76,000 MB's of the single existing partition, only 1,413 MB's is available to be shrunk by.This is an insufficient amount for the second partition I require for the dual boot.Additionally, when I take a different approach and try to re partition from with in the OS that I am trying to dual boot with, it gives me a warning that the program (gparted) detected that the disk has at least 51 bad sectors when I unmount it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI had an SSD that was 120 gig. I recently bought a larger 240 gig samsung SSD since I got a free copy of far cry 3 and my old SSD was nearly full.I used the program that came with the samsung drive to swap the data over.It had all the appropriate settings listed, and it seemed pretty straight forward. I attached the new SSD drive and had all the space on it listed as "unalocated" as the Samsung Wizard explained. I copied over the two partitions on the old drive over to the new Samsung. I then removed the old 120 gig drive and tried to boot with the new Samsung and the 1TB data drive that I had attached all along.I shut down, removed the 120 gig drive and moved the 240 over to the same sata cable that the 120 was on.When I tried to boot, it failed.A screen came up that offered to automatically repair the install, but it was unable.It looked like it would boot into this same error over and over. I used the boot manager thing on my mobo using the f8 key. I chose the Samsung SSD from the list and it offered up 3 choices.
1. Windows 7 premium
2. Windows 7 premium (recovered)
3. Windows 7 premium (recovered)
If I choose option 1, it repeats the same "unable to repair so lets reboot...."If I choose option 2, the computer boots normally, it looks exactly like before, and all is good. Till I reboot. I don't know where the 3 installs that its offers as options. I need a way to set it to always boot to the Windows 7 premium (recovered) install.
I have an external Toshiba cable modem -USB - attached to my computer for Internet access and I am using the Windows 7 Ultimate OS. I then have a Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine connected to a Wired Router. The Vista Machine can access the Windows 7 machine through this network but not the internet. In the Windows 7 Network dialog box it shows the External modem as a Home Network but it shows the Vista machine's ethernet card as a Public Network and it will not let me change this setting at all.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem similar to what somebody else has posted here in the past. I have Windows XP Home on my Desktop and Windows 7 on the laptop. I have them both networked. I am able to view shared Desktop folders from the Windows 7 laptop with no problems, but when I try to view the shared laptop folders from the XP Desktop, it keeps telling me to type in a username and password. On the Windows 7 laptop, I have it set in the Network and Sharing Center to not require a password.
I originally had it set up as a homegroup, then changed it to a workgroup on the laptop, but the same thing happens. I also changed the Computer Name on the laptop, but I still have to type in a username and password on the XP Desktop. Once I enter the username and password, I can freely access the laptop. But once I restart either machine, however, I then have to type the username and password on the Desktop again.
Can anybody assist me with this matter?
anyone no why this build is using so much memory?
i have 4gb and it seems to be using 97% of it with
nothing else installed but the os and drivers.
i tried installing avast! Antivirus but after the
reboot the system moves so slow i had to uninstall
it.didn't have no trouble with the last 3 builds.
I just got my new laptop, which has Windows 7. I tried to use my microsoft wireless laser mouse 5000 but when I try an install the 64 bit vista driver, it claims compatibility issues. How do you i get around this? I need this mouse.
