Running MS Windows Program?
Jul 2, 2010
Using Windows 7 Professional 32-bit We haven't changed any hardware or BOIS lately. About a week ago, Windows Update would start to hang when down loading &/or installing an update. After this happened trying to shutdown would cause one of two things - Very long Installing Update followed by Reconfiguring Windows and it hanging or Windows is Shutting Down and then hanging.After that, the only way windows would shutdown normally is by first going into safe-mode and doing a shutdown.Using the Troubleshoot Computer Problems-Systems and Security-Fix Problems with Windows Update selection offered in the Control Panel results in An Error occurred while Troubleshooting.On another note, while trying to add Windows games(such as solitaire) from the control panel "Programs and Features" by clicking on the "Turn Windows Features on or off" results in a Windows Features Box which displays "Please Wait", and it hangs.I've tried any number of solutions for the Windows Update problem(Fix It, etc) to no avail and I'm starting to think that its a bigger problem. Also, I've scanned the computer with Microsoft Security Essentials.

I am running Windows 7 professional on a 4 core Intel i5 laptop. I have a Fortran application which runs in a DOS command window. This application is compute intensive and takes a long time to run. Is it possible to run it in parallel using more than one core to do the computations? If so, how can I do this?

This program has been running for 12 hours without interruption, and it is still chunking away but slower. That is it seems to pause 5-10 seconds before flashing up the next file. I don't think my data is unusually large at just over 1 million files, and my hard drives total 2,946 GB with each well under 50% used capacity. All other programs can run smoothly and Windows Task Manager Shows no program is stuck. But if I need to wait for 1+ million files to be examined at 5 seconds each, it won't be done in my lifetime! What do I need to do differently?

just wondering if it is possible to find out if a certain program was running on my computer at a given time. I'm not talking about a scheduled task, but I had a program running at night, woke up and it wasn't running, so is there a way to tell what time it was last running or stopped?

I have Sony Vegas Pro 10.0 (32 bit) installed on my computer, which runs Windows 7 (64 bit). I was wondering what the effects of this are. What am I losing by running the 32 bit version instead of the 64 it version of Sony Vegas?

I have been trying to install a weather programme. I have had a lot of problems so un-installed it. When I try to manually delete a few remaining files I get a message that "Errorther instance of the program's .exe file is running. Program will be terminated." How do I find this to get rid of it? Nothing shows up outside of the programme files (x86) when I search.

In the power settings, I set the monitor off time to 10 minutes.When I get away from my computer more than 10 minutes, an invisible program start running. It uses harddisk like crazy, and I also hear the CPU fan working faster.I used "Process Explorer" to detect this program. I see a "svchost.exe" terminating in the last second as soon as I turn the monitor on by a mouse move or keyboard input. Unfortunately I am not able to see the parent process because it terminates immediately when the monitor turns on.

How can I run a program from the command line as an administrator. I'm looking for a command line equivalent to right-clicking on the program icon and choosing "Run as Administrator".

On my W7 machine (Dell X1) everything is working fine. I want to upgrade the BIOS so I downloaded the exe to do so. When I attempt to run it I get "Program Access Denied" no matter whether I run it normally or as administrator. Since my account is an administrator account it shouldn't matter. I've tried using the cmd window, but that doesn't do it either - always the same message. I've checked that the permissions on the file should allow it.

Is there a way in Windows 7 to have some programs run on startup, and some not based on if you are connected to an outlet or using a battery? For example, when I am running on battery for the day, I want to conserve battery life so it would be convenient to have only the bare essentials startup that are necessary for the laptop to work normally.A couple of years ago, I used a program that delayed startup applications but I am looking for a way to have different options based on battery or outlet use, Like how the Power Options allows a a few different tweaks based on battery or being plugged in.

In our corporate environment we have an application that accesses a centralized database as the currently logged in user. The nature of this application requires giving the user read/write/execute permissions directly to the database.Obviously this is a security risk since an educated user would then be able to access the database directly from the command line and be able to do things beyond what the application allows.What we'd like to do is create alternate domain accounts for each user that have the necessary DB permissions and then launch the application as that user instead of the logged in user.I'm aware of the built in RunAs command but, since that prompts for the password, it wouldn't be any different than the current user having access.

I am having a very strange problem with Windows 7 x64.I need to use a sort of mathematical software that was developed in Fortran and it is 32 bits. The program runs okay and gives good results. But after some time, the program works normally but instead of the previous results it starts to give me just 0 (zeros) even if i perform the same calculation than before.

In the 'open with' context menu, I accidentally changed the running program for ALL the icons on my desktop (ie. the tickbox below the 'Other Programs' was checked when i changed the running program for an unknown file). So now, all the icons on my desktop are identical and all of them run using the same program

A certain set of programs take over a minute to run. If I double click the executable it takes over a minute before the program launches.Equally attempting to access the file properties takes a similar amount of time.(the file happens to be audioconverter.exe (part of a set of programs to re-encode mkv's - e.g. strip out of the dts track and reencode with ac3, etc.)Only files in this set of sub-directories seem to be affected, the rest of the machine performs perfectly

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I'm using the program Expressit 3.1 to create my CD labels.I downloaded it from here: exPressit SE - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.comow, the files it creates, of which I have several made using its previous version, 3.0, are suffixed .exp. I have set my Windows 7 installation so that ExpressIt is the default program to open these files. Double-clicking an .exp file should therefore open that CD label in the ExpressIt program.However, when I double-click an .exp file, the ExpressIt program does not open so that I can work with the file. If I run the ExpressIt program first, then 'Open' the file from within the program, it all works fine.(The problem with this 'workaround' is that when going to Open the file, its default directory is nowhere near the directories containing my .exp files and takes ages to browse to, so I don't want to do it like that).

I'm just installed windows 7 on my 2009 imac through bootcamp. However there are some problems. Ive noticed when i try to play something on windows media player it will tell me that my computer is running low on memory and to close some windows. Also games run poorly if at all. I suspect its a driver issue but have gone through all the auto updates etc.

As I shutdown/restart my laptop, I notice it switches to a secondary desktop that has been running programs.A good example would be trying to open my Task Manager, I can Ctrl-Alt-Del and it will allow me to open Task Manager - however when I click on Task Manager, it opens on the Desktop running in the background. I can't even access the Desktop in the background, it only shows up as I'm shutting down - closing programs that I tried opening awhile ago.

When I run the prograsm I get the typical "Preparing to install..." abnd then tyhe 'Configuring Weatherbug. I've been in contact with Weatherbug Support all day and we can't seem to find an answer.I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials.This is a clean install of Windows 7. I haven't used any other real-time security software other than MSE.I disabled MSE and tried it and got the same results.

I am running into this issue of having complete access to one PC running windows 7 from another one that is also running windows 7. One of the PC's is a windows 7 pro 32 bit and the other is window 7 ultimate 64 bit. I have had them setup with public and dedicated folder sharing. But from time to time I find that a file I want to get off one or the other was not saved to a shared folder. I have been looking for a way to allow complete access from one PC to other one (going both directions). I use 2 PC all the times and it really depends on where I am in the house as to what one I am using as one is laptop and the other is a desktop. They are both on the same network. It is just one of the strange things that I have not been able to find a way to get complete file access without the use of software like Teamviewer or others like it.What I would like to do it just go to the network location in the windows explore to get the files I want from the other PC.
