Windows 7 Always Asking To Run Application (ie: Winamp)?
Jan 23, 2010
I just installed winamp and i really hate it when i have to select Yes to "Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer" when running winamp.I've set the exe to run as administrator for all users. I even tried running it in compatibility mode for XP (because you dont have this issue in XP, wishful thinking).I even set the persmissions to full access for SYSTEM/Administrator/Users in the security tab.Im also an admin on this computer.I know im not the only one that is pissed of when windows constantly asks you to run an application if you already selected to run it as admin.
I am running Windows 7 Pro 64bit and have not installed any new software apart from The Witcher game a few days ago. Now after 30 mins of switching the PC on the pc freezes but the music from winamp keeps playing and the mouse is able to move. Only option is to do a hard reset of the machine. Could this be a hard drive fault?
I can download and install winamp(latest version)but when i hit finish i am told that winamp has stopped to function properly,and i re-installed windows just yesterday,i do not get it,and i have not made any changes with fancy software.Winamp and my windows 7 has never had a good relationship,but it used to run on a fresh re-install,
Winamp or Windows Media Player or any other audio software freezes at random events. How the problem occurs: I will be playing audio through winamp just fine from first playback. The problem occurs after I decide I would like to STOP the song that is playing and open another application. After I've finished with that application and return back to winamp to hit PLAY the song won't playback.The song will simply sit there looking like it is about to play but no response. Please NOTE that this also occurs in Windows Media Player and i-Tunes.
Our office has an old program that we still need to use when upgrading our PC's to Windows 7. The program will run fine if you start a windows virtual PC and install and run it. However, based on the needs of our office, I need to be able to run Windows XP mode and simply have an icon for our users to click to take them to the application.If I install the program in windows XP mode, and then add a shortcut to the file under all users/start menu, a shortcut is placed in the appropriate place on the windows 7 machine and I can copy that shortcut ot the desktop. The program runs fine until you restart the computer. Once you restart the computer and double click the link on the windows 7 desktop to the program running in windows XP mode, it says:
Cannot start virtual application. The application is blocked from running as a virtual application.
I read some other posts saying to put a new shortcut in the all users/start menu folder. This works, but only until our users restart their computer. The next time the computer is up, the problem happens again. This is not an acceptable solution to have to create a new shortcut for each workstation each time the computer is restarted.
The error states:explorer.exe - application error The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close the application.When I click OK, i just have a black screen. I can get the task manager going by hitting control, alt, delete. I've tried to start explorer.exe from the file menu, but get the same error.
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142) Click on OK to terminate the application.The only option is to click ok. I am deathly afraid to turn off my computer because my brother recently did and that caused it to freeze at the blue HP startup screen, but thats another thread. I get this error whenever I launch anything. I can't even open up the task manager. I really need help. I don't currently have a way to back up my stuff either but I am working on it. By the way, I don't know that my brother was having the same error message as i was or if he was having any error messages. I use zone alarm full security suite if that helps at all, I don't know if it deleted a registry file or something.
I tried to replace 3 files in the system 32 folder, and must have made a mistake along the way leaving my laptop inaccessible once logged on. The three files were:
uxtheme.dll themeui.dll themeservice.dll
I received these error messaged when logged on:dwm.exe - Application error the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click ok to close the application.explorer.exe - Application error the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click ok to close the application.Can system restore revert back the files so it was like i never attempted the patch?
I don't what happened but all of a sudden a message box opens up on my windows 7 laptop and it says this " the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application" . I clicked ok but the error message box keeps returning back.If i remember properly, this happened when I tried installing some wallpaper.system seems to be working finw with all applications, but this message box is quite annoying.
And now I am so screwed. I can't even open services.msc, I can't install an update, I can't run updates and I can't re enable anything because I can't get into services to do it. Please don't say system restore because I disabled it.
I was just wondering if it is possible to reverse engineer a 32-bit application and recompile it as a 64-bit application. If so, would it still function?I don't know if talking about reverse engineering is acceptable in this forum or not. If not, my apologies.Also, I don't exactly know how "legal" it is or if it's against any EULAs.I'm a heavy browser user. I use Firefox Nightly and constantly have several tabs open. I also run several different applications at once and occasionally Skype. I'm CONSTANTLY hitting the 32-bit barrier for RAM (can't remember if it's 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 GB) and I still have more RAM on my system. I'm thinking the video quality on Skype starts going south when I run low/out on addressable memory since it's a 32-bit application
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate. I've been using it for some time without problems, but this morning I was unable to get on the Internet. Yesterday I'd installed an update for ZoneAlarm which I thought was probably the problem, so I uninstalled in and downloaded and installed PC Tools Firewall Plus instead. no my computer will connect to the Internet OK, but whenever I try to open most programs, I get the following error:"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application."The only two exceptions I've found are Microsoft Security Essentials and Internet Explorer which both work fine.
I'm trying to run a .bat file but when i start it cmd won't start and it gives the error message"The application was unable to start correctly (oxc0000142). Click OK to close the application."
I was running both IE and Firefox on my Windows 7 system. After I deleted Firefox, all my Desktop shortcuts have an Application Not Found error. Many of the fixes on CNET direct me to the XP forum. I have Windows 7.
I have had it for a while that i get random freezes and that i can move my mouse but not use most of the application or none anymore and i have to go to task manager and then it works again.I tried to install new windows 3 times and didnt help. I also bought new CPU, Mainbord, Memory and power supply also before that i changed my Hard Drive.
Based on the Windows 7 feature where you can press Windows Logo + Right (or left) Arrow key to maximize an application window to the right (or left) half of the screen, is there a way to maximise windows to either the top or bottom half of the screen? I know that stacking windows is one option, but that only works to the top quarter of a screen, and affects all other open windows, so that's no good unfortunately. The main app I want to use this with is putty so that I can see the full width of commands when using SSH for example.
I have 2 OS's XP and Win 7 on different partitions on the same HDD. Also I've read this note regarding the MVirtual PC: Windows XP Mode can only be installed on Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 7 Professional, and Windows 7 Ultimate and I am wondering, is there any application that can run an already installed XP from Win 7?
Recently I've installed an incompatible Borland C++ compiler (16 bit application) and due to the incompatibility with 64 bit version of the windows even the uninstaller feature cannot work. Now I'm in a situation of not being able to uninstall the compiler and therefore cannot install the 64 bit application due to corruption.
how to recover an application that came installed with windows 7 because i think i uninstalled or removed the tablet pc folder an applications including the input panel wich im trying to recover. I already tried with the "Turn Windows features on or off" but it didn't solve anything. Does anyone have a link to or know where i could download the input panel?
the windows installer is not posting application installs. I see dates in the control panel of install but no volume/meg counts. I have one program I use all the time -fenderfuse - and I cannot get it to work. Most everything else is okay as I installed them a while back and these programs are working. I found 4 virus's yesterday and the virus checker could not put them in the vault so I was able to delete them. The virus detector wanted to check all my boot files. It found several corrupt boot files items and could not repair them. I was able to deleted them, When I check users,rose - application data is missing. I downloaded windows performance kit and windows sdk v7, I believe someone told me to do this so that I can fix my problems but not sure what to do and I didn't put the tech site in my favorites folder so I'm not happy with myself. I do see some debugging tools for windows .64 so I will check that out. I also have microsoft silverlight installed.
