For some reason, Photoshop CS4 is not present in the right click 'Open With' dialogue list, and of course all the programs I don't use are. Is there a way to add a program to the open with menu?
View 7 RepliesI tried to open a program using the open with option and it changed the icons for every program on my laptop. I changed the desktop (network, my computer etc) icons back to default but can't manage to change the others. If i go into properties for the program and change it that way it doesn't do anything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy girlfriend recently lent me her laptop (Windows 7 32bit) it was still using IE so when I go to install chrome the built in 'security program' (Windows 7 internet security 2011 or something like that) tells me that chrome is a threat and wont let me use it.. Now after finding out that Windows 7 internet security 2011 is a joke and just wants my money I run spybot search and destroy, it finds plenty of viruses and such like which are all removed.Now I have the strange problem...When I try to run any program or file the 'open this file with' window comes up. With some programs I can browse the program files and locate the program, select open with (I can't select 'always use the selected program') and away we go, but with others it simply doesn't open or will open the program in the background (unusable) and give me the 'open with' window again.. I have tried putting the Malwarebytes installer on USB but the laptop still gives me the 'open with' window when I try to install that
View 4 Replies View RelatedIm having a problem with opening files I use to open with two programs. One is mkv, vob and divx files with homecinema. And snes roms with an emulator. Basically win 7 would let me select the program and it would show up on the list of programs to use. I would select always use and I'm done. But I moved the folders containing the files to a different folder and now my two programs I use will not show up in the open with list. I now have to go to the program itself and search for the files. Its a pain because I could click on the files and get right to them.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find a way to stop dialogue boxes from automatically becoming the active windows when they pop. I am frequently running multiple tasks at once, and having a dialogue box pop up and move the focus of my cursor while typing a sql script or email is extremely aggravating. I've accidentally typed passwords into dialogue boxes numerous times, if one pops up while I'm trying to remote onto another machine.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently noticed that dialogue boxes of certain programs use a wrong font and I have tried everything I could find on the web to change it to no avail, e.g.resetting font settings to default. Best explained by an example. Look at the below dialogue box, the way it SHOULD look:As of a few weeks, it now looks this way:This is an example for program IrFanView. Other programs like Quicken act the same. The snap shots were taking from different PCs, so the different color theme can be explained

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo for a while, windows updates have been causing BSODs on my PC, usually I just go and remove them via safe mode and all is well again. Well last night, after doing that, my PC BSOD'd and on rebooting found that several things were bad. First, the start orb didn't work and I couldn't pull up the start menu. All the text is gone from my desktop icons, the date and time is missing, all the items within control panel and My computer are a jumbled mess of random lines and boxes, so that means I cannot do anything in Windows explorer or control panel. This happens even within safe mode. So far, I have tried doing a system restore, sfc /scannow, startup repair and rebooting in last known good configuration. Nothing I've tried has been successful in solving this issue. About the only thing I can do on my computer is use the web browser and type blindly in the address bar, since all the text is also gone from the top of tabs and the address bar
View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter I most recently restarted my computer, every program or file I try to open prompts me with a window asking for which program I want to use open the file, followed by a list of programs. Normally this would just be an inconvenience, because I can always just search for the same program I'm trying to open, but for some reason the "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" box is grayed out. I recently recovered from a virus, so I suspect this may be a side effect
View 2 Replies View Relatedstarted getting BSOD a few days ago, thats when i realized my sister didnt have any virus protection on her computer. kinda late i know... so i downloaded avg and did a few scans with it. everytime i ran a scan it would find 60 tracking cookies or more and about 20 rootkit's but it would not remove the rootkits. i found somewhere that unhackme could get rid of the rootkits so i downloaded that. it found a trojan and attemped to remove it, then rebooted the computer. now nothing will open on the computer. i have a log that unhackme created dont know if that is helpful.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI don't know what happened but yesterday its like my computer died, It worked fine then all of a sudden shut down and now its a mess, When it starts up it takes forever and Norton doesn't start, It won't allow me to do any updates through the control panel, I can't open any program that includes explorer(obviously am not using my computer), norton, anything and trying to open stuff in safe mode does nothing either.I tried the .exe fix by downloading it on a different comp and using a usb drive but i just get random error messages and nothing seems to happen when it says it merged.I tried a system restore but even the oldest choice it gave me I still had same issues. At this point I'd be fine wiping everything clean and starting with it as a new computer like when i got it i am not worried about losing any info I can deal with it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently installed the windows 7 beta today, having a few problems and after countless hours searching google for a fix i simply cant find any, so here goes:
- I cant open any programs, at all - im getting the error 'This program is not a valid Win32 Application' even when i have made sure it is.
- I can download files, but when they are complete the file/s are not there and the sizes are '0 kb'
- Also i cant make them appear on my desktop when finished downloading? Even if i run it in administrative mode.
P.s. Also if anyone has any links for Soundblaster 5.1 drivers/anti viruses etc? I cant get any to work, even some that state as win32 windows 7.
I want to use several of the Sysinternals suite of tools. Some have a GUI,but many don't. Ignorant me just double clicks on their generic icon and a brief flash of the command-line interface screen and nothing more. Can someone point me to some information on the use of this type of program?I'm not a complete novice on the use of the command prompt screen, as I use it for sfc /scannow, ipconfig, pinging to find my latency, etc.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to open a program (Internet Exlorer, Adobe Player, Skype, Google Chrome and so on) they all open with Windows Media Player. When I try to change it by right clicking on the program and select "open with..." and then select the right program it either starts opening all the programs with the selected program, or it doesn't save the program I want to "open with...". Also all the programs have changed their icon on the desktop What do I do? Do I have to reinstall every thing, or is there a magical way that I can get Google Chrome to open when I click on "Google Chrome" and not Windows Media Center?

View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently, after a pretty heavy storm we had a power failure. At the time I was using an .exe program ...and I also had firefox operating. When I booted my computer up again neither program would function. I wasn't too bothered about firefox, but the other .exe program is pretty important as I need it for my job. Anyway, I managed to get the .exe program working again by opening it with the Compatibility Wizard and running it as if it was XP. (However it wouldn't permanently "save" in this mode, so had to go through the wizard everytime I had to use it).
Before I "found" the Compatibility Wizard solution, I restored the computer to before the power failure, but this didn't make any difference. Now I have had a second power failure. Once again with the .exe program open. And now it won't open at all, either with the wizard or without it. I reinstalled the program...and it still didn't work. (Although Firefox did when reinstalled). I have done a Registry Repair with RegSofts registry repair software....but still nothing. Now I am "a bit" stuck, to say the least !
I can't open any files in any Office or OpenOffice program going through File>Open. I can double-click a file within a folder and it will open fine.
I don't have this issue in any other program that I regularly use. Just anything Office or OpenOffice. Here is an image of what I wind up with if trying to attach an image in Outlook. In Outlook I cannot attach a file to an email or Save an attachment. I can double-click in Outlook to open an attachment.
Anyone run into this type of issue before or any suggestions of where I can even begin to look to resolve?
