Application Icon Executes Installer
Aug 28, 2005
Looking for some clue. Running Win-XP SP2 on a E-Machine.I've installed a freebee called PIXResizer on my wife's E-machine. When I try to run it the window's installer executes, prompting me to "Insert the MS Picture IT 2001 Photo Creativity CD " ??? After hitting CANCEL severl times the installer will finally close & PIXResizer open & run fine. MS Picture IT is installed and runs fine. I have uninstalled & installed several times but get the same results. I have beem using PIXResizer for well over a year & have it installed on 2 other machines with no problem. Appears to be some kind of conflict.All suggestions welcome.

I've got a machine that I'm working on that has the following executes in the startup which I've never seen before and get no matches whatsoever on when I google them: bxbxxfky.exe mmizv.exe qfadh.exe xmmzeztc.exe I feel that I should probably just delete them, but considering my problems with a Dell that I'm working on (see Dell keeps looping, Ron the Geek) I'm a little gunshy. Anyone know what these odd little files are?

I recently puchased a new computer with an amd athlon 64 processor running windows xp. I installed office 97 from my original cd. when I try to open word documents in MY DOCUMENTS i get an error message:C:Documents and SettingsOwnerMy DocumentsTest file.doc is not a valid Win32 application. I can open the file if I open Word first and open the file from there.I have selected word as the program to open doc files in folder options.
However when I look at a word created file in my documents it doesn't have the word icon it has an icon which I think might be for word pad.

I was wondering how to fix this problem, the icon for internet explorer in the start menu shows up as an unknown file icon. The icon on the desktop for IE shows fine but when i try to click on it, it creates a shortcut for internet explorer. if click on IE from the start menu, it opens IE with no problems.

no IE icon on desktop or in programs. i have internet access through verizon. i recently got windows update to install IE7 in the hope that would restore the icon/program but the only way i can access the internet is via the verizon browser. i clearly installed IE7 because now the "sidebar" of my verizon browser says that "sidebar i currently not compatible with IE7...". so why can't i get the IE7 icon in my program list or desktop?

After looking at the display settings and closing them, my icon disappeared. A file search on all *.cpl files show that the display.cpl file still exists
and I can create a shortcut to the desktop and run the program.But, I'd like my icon back.I believe the problem was created by having all my icons underlined so I only have to do a single Left click to bring up the program.

I've winxp Home with SP2 system, yesterday my daughter had installed the program 'MS Plus' from the XP Installation CD which was not installed earlier in the machine. My OS is original, but to-day on opening the system I'm seeing that the icon of Hard Drive(E : Drive)to which the program was installed went missing and in its place another icon (which generally represents for any unidentified file) has taken its place.

problem setting the CD/DVD icon to return to it's normal icon in My Computer. It currently has the Audio CD icon. I've played an audio CD awhile ago and since then, the icon has remained. This icon is causing problems when I open a Data CD. When the Data CD is inserted the Audio icon emains. When I click on the icon, Media Player starts. I have disabled the auto-run or auto-play setting prior to this problem. I would have to right-click and select Open to get to the data files.
Under Windows Explorer, when I click on the icon, it shows the contents of
the data CD but the Audio icon is still present.

Just wondering why when you drag an IE http short cut to the desktop, it does not display the site logo icon. Sometimes, they will show and others not. I have had them even come and go after different sessions. I log on to Internet both through work firewall and at home on network through firewall and in motels through open and firewall protected isps.

First, my notebook has been working normally until yesterday afternoon. Windows XP Home Edition was installed by the manufacturer and was working properly. But yesterday, when I started up and logged on to my computer, and everytime since, Windows Installer automatically launches. It gives the message something like: "wait while Windows configures Windows XP." Then the installer asks me to to insert the Windows XP CD, which of course I don't have since Windows XP was factory installed on this notebook. I cancel the process and everything seems to work normally. Is there a way I can stop this from happening?

I try to install something and it tells me
The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe
mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.
I tried registering the msiexec.exe file and it said that an event was unable to invoke any of the subscribers.

I have a campaq notebook that runs windows xp, when I start up it does fine until I click into the user name. Once it gets to my screen the windows installer automatically pops up and tells me it is preparing to install photogallery which to the best of my knowledge I don't have. It atempts to install until a screen pops up that says omething about needing a cd to install. If you cancel out it tries it atleast 2 more times. It is really agrivating me as it takes almost ten minutes to get through all of this before I can do anything else. If someone could help I would be greatful. I already tried to unistall the program and it isn't there.

I recently did a PCRegistryCleaner "recommended speedup" via running "services.msc" every time I open an Excel file I get a Windows Installer Preparing to instal screen which must be Cancelled before Excel will open up. There were many items recommended to be Disabled and I'm wondering if anyone can suggest an easy way to fix my problem rather than working tediously through every Disabled item one at a time?
