Reverse The "Always Use This Program" Error?
Oct 2, 2010
I went to open a video, and when it asked me what program I wanted to use to open it, I clicked Windows Media Player.
But I forgot to un-check the "Always Use This Program to Open This Type of File" box, and this resulted in a very annoying problem:
Every item on my desktop is now a Windows Media Player icon, and worst of all: when I click on one of those shortcuts, it opens Windows Media Player--not the actual program or shortcut!
Same with the taskbar--all the icons are now WMP icons.
Is there some feature or command I can use to "revert" everything back to the icon it's supposed to be, and allow my shortcuts and files to open normally again?

I have a sony vaio j series all in one pc. Everything has been running fine, I had never had a problem with it.... UNTIL last night I got home, and my sister said that she accidentally unplugged the computer, and she says the computer automatically started a system restore that DELETED ALL OF MY FILES. When I turned it on, the screen began to see "PREPARING FOR FIRST TIME SETUP" and then prompted me to register the computer, just like the first day that I turned it on. I thought that in order to restore back to factory settings you had to have the cd's from sony?? I already looked at the system restore wizard and there is no restore points that I can reverse it to. What can I do?

On 20th August various Windows updates were installed on my computer one of which was an update to my USB Wireless Mouse. The changes they have made to this are a total pain and I want to revert back to the way it was before the updateThis appears in my Update history;Microsoft - Other hardware - Microsoft Hardware USB Wireless MouseInstallation date: 20/08/2012 04:07Installation status: SuccessfulUpdate type: OptionalMicrosoft Other hardware software update released in May, 2012But when I check in Installed Updates it is not there! It was installed, it was a successful update as stated above and it has made changes to the way my mouse settings are applied. How can I get shot of this update if it doesn't appear in installed updates and more to the point why doesn't it appear

My gateway laptop with win 7 64 froze up on me in startup. I made a system disk and backups for it and my daughters when I bought them. I have the backup on a simpledrive 500gb. When trying to restore it the only imageackup was Hers. It would not recognize mine(labeled His). Well, having no other option I clicked on Hers and now my gateway thinks its her Acer. My usbs dont work.

XP and Vista were simple to reverse, but I cannot find the settings in Win 7. I am constantly moving screens between monitors, but instead of dragging them "from one monitor" to "the other" in a straight motion, I have to drag in the opposite direction, away from the second monitor, to have it appear there.
Okay, petty I know, but it drives me nuts!
Anyone know where the setting is located?

Windows 7 desktop annoys me in the way it sorts desktop icons.
Say I add an icon and want it alpha sorted with the existing desktop icons. Right click on the desktop and Sort by ==> Name. The icons are sorted in reverse alpha order. To get them sorted in forward alpha order, I have to do the right-click-sort-by-name process again.
How can I get Windows 7 to always sort the desktop icons in forward alpha order instead of alternating between forward and reverse order?

If I accidentally delete something in an email message that I am creating and want to reinstate it, is there a Reverse arrow like there is in Word? If so where do I find it to add to the Tool bar?

Every day or two, Windows 7 is REVERSE dimming on me and I can only fix it with a reboot.What I mean is, suddenly when the AC Adapter is PLUGGED IN, the screen will be DIM (Even though control panel shows it as max brightness on the slider). But then once I UNPLUG the adapter, the screen is bright like its supposed to be..For the life of me I can't figure it out, but it's driving me to the point of insanity because I keep having to reboot so often.

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

Alright, well I only saw this once before, but now it seems like every time I try to run a vintage 32-bit program it comes up.
Whether it's Cool Edit Pro, Halo (the Microsoft game), whatever. anything that uses the video card - this comes up.
In this case it's Windows Live Messenger 8.1, running in Windows 2000 compatibility, so that Microsoft lets me sign on without upgrading to their new crap they call a messenger. (That's not the point, though, if even one person tells me that the problem is that I didn't upgrade WLM I'm gonna ignore them... It works PERFECTLY on ALL the computers I've done it on, so that's NOT the issue!!)
Anyway, does anybody know what that error means and how to fix it? Google tells me that it's a DirectX9 DLL problem (Which is way outdated, right? Since DX11 is the one that comes with it)... I tried all the suggestions, from installing DX9 (which of course didn't work since it "detected" a newer version), to replacing the DLL with a fresh one.
I might try installing Windows 7 x64 in VMWare, then copy the DLL from *THAT*, but still... what's the problem? It worked fine and that error is just now coming up. I scanned for viruses last night with Malwarebytes, and it's clean.

I'm trying to install a program that has an updated patch. When I go to install the update I get an error message saying "program name (x86)...you don't have permission to save in this location contact your administrator to obtain permission. How do I get around this block. I did go into the admin setting nad played around with them but that didn't do anything. This is my computer and this account is the only one on there and it says Richard (me) is the admin so I should be able to put stuff where ever the I want. I am so sick of Windows 7 this is the worst version of windows yet. Can't we go back to MS Dos.

I am hoping someone can help. I have 2 machines both running windows 7 64-bit with XP mode installed. On one, I have successfully loaded and run my program perfectly without a single hiccup but with the other it installs fine but will not open. All I get is a fatal errorE. The same install disc was used for both machines and I have checked to verify that all files are there.

There are a half dozen threads from the past several years addressing the same issue - none have a solution or explain what the cause is. This is the exact text of the error:
MS Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:windowssystem32
vvsvc.exe
This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.Please contact the application's support team for more information. In safe mode the startup stops at ATiPcie.sys; search found similar black screen with mouse complaints The machine setup has worked fine for several months, and shutdown without any events last evening. This morning at startup the popup with a black screen appeared. I have tried all of the suggestions posted on the treads.Events: Attempted to install autocad2012sp1x64.exe but it did not install due to the version installed is Civil 3D 2012 not ACAD2012. Installed PublishDWGtoGE.zip without issues - a new icon appeared in my ACAD GUI but have not tried it yet Changed my clear temporary files at startup script from shutdown to startup, restarted several times and seemed to work fine Cleared several GB of temp files that ACAD C3D accumulates - this has been done several times without problems This machine is used as a CAD workstation and is not used for games, entertainment, social networking (besides help forum threads), or other common uses that attract viruses. The only web browsing is to read the news and email. Note that this machine has a PCI-E solid state harddrive in Raid 0 - occasionally it triggers a disk check at startup due what has been assumed a driver issue that results in a poor shutdown, it has not been anything more than annoying - one of the other threads had a similar SSD raid 0 setup. I removed the startup script and ran a checkdisk in case they were conflicting. I have access to the drive through a backup drive running the same OS; the specifics of the machine setup are documented here on a wiki page cee241:software:settings:tower [CIFE Wiki]

I was having issues with Photoshop 7 and attempting to reinstall it gives the error: "Setup requires a different version of windows. Check to make sure that you are running Setup on the Windows platform for which it is intended. Error 102"
I find nothing relevant in the Adobe forums, and perceive this as a Windows error.
I have reinstalled this once or twice before with no issues. We are running Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit which has been working on this as well as on previous OSs. The machine is up-to-date without viruses and I have run SFC/scannow, and a registry cleaner; issue persists. System Restore is not an option.

I've been recently getting the BSOD when I open almost any program, when I try to open it my display stops and I get the BSOD error STOP: 0x0000001E. The latest thing I would have downloaded with suspicion would be a game torrent. I've gotten a BSOD error STOP: 0x00000050 and error STOP: 0x0000001a, but mainly error STOP: 0x0000001E. I'm thinking that my RAM is corrupted, looks like its a memory problem. I'm currently in Safe Mode with Networking. Anyways, sorry for using Winrar, I didn't have 7-ZIP installed.

Okay, so I downloaded my copy of Windows 7 from DigitalRiver from the 741 offer for students. It gives me the three files as usual, but when I click on the .exe, I get a command prompt saying "Program is too big to fit into memory" before quickly closing.
I didn't even get this expandedSetup file that people are talking about, so I can't make a .ISO out of it or anything. I am running Vista Home Premium 32-bit, attempting to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Preimium Upgrade 32-bit.
I've tried re-downloading it.
I've tried using a different computer.
I've tried increasing virtual memory.
I've tried running as administrator.
Nothing seems to work, and I'm beginning to think I'm the only one so far with this problem. I even asked my computer science professor, and he thought the lack of virtual memory was the culprit. I have 3GB of RAM, and was able to free up 2GB to no avail.

I have a Lenovo p580, last night around 12:30am, I was watching a movie on my laptop and it randomly restarted. When it got past the welcome after a millions of beeps, the screen went black, so i hard rebooted it by holding down the power button. Then when the window sign begins to be created by those dots, about the second dot I got the blue screen of death, which I could not read because it automatically restarted and then i went into start up repair which, couldn't resolve the problem.
I tried booting into safe mode and it wasn't working so I thought it was a problem with the hdd. I realised the hdd area was really hot so I turned off the laptop and let it charge overnight. Now the laptop is working fine, I ran a check disk during startup. However now, after the windows logo I have a very quick error which is something along the lines "autochk program not found, skipping autocheck (not 100% sure if those are the corrects words, but skipping and autochk not found is in it".
I have looked at the registry value for autochk and found this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
BootExecute REG_MULTI_SZ Autocheck autoch
