I've always been able to open wk1 files in Excel.Now, I'm getting error: "Your are attempting to open a file type that is blocked by your registry policy setting" Don't know what's going on - added the wk1 file type in Folder Options & associated it with Excel - same message. Deleted that and am back to where I started.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows XP. I went to the Properties on the Start Menu and decided to switch from Classic Start Menu to the newer version. In the list of programs on the new Start menu was EXCEL.EXE, but the icon was wrong and when I clicked on it, it couldn't find Excel. I went to the properties of the link and changed EXCEL.EXE to Excel. It still not working, I deleted the link.Now whenever I click on an icon on my desktop, the system tries to open it with Excel. Apparently the change screwed something up, but I do not know how to get back to where I was before.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just moved in to my buddy from work, and decided to put a pass on my PC, since a lot of people go thru the house on weekends. I set up an account, gave it admin privileges, but when setup asked: "would you like to give that account access to files?" (or some similar question) I selected NO. When account loaded I couldn't get access to any of my files! The problem now is that I can't delete that new account, because it's the only account! I tried setting up another one with administrator privileges, but it doesn't ask that question anymore (would you like to give that account access to files?), so I can't get access?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Windows 2000 with the normal administrator id setup as well as one other. I logged in today and noticed I had no background which tipped me off. I tried my email program and it was asked me to set it all up. I then went into mydocuments and it was empty. So if I go into my drive and look at Documents and Setting I normally only had Administrator, AllUsers and my other ID motopsycho. Now I have the following....Administrato Administrator.Chris
Administrator.Chris.000 AllUsers AllUsers.WinNT motopsycho Now if I go into just the regular Administrator I can see all MyDocuments, MyFavorites etc. but I seem to be booting up with the Administrator.Chris.00
the closest we have found to our same problem is number on thread t350665..background one of our customers has run into a problem: they have been using XPhome for about a year, SP2 installed smoothly and has run well for a few months, they turned on automatic update, it installed, then next boot:problem it asked them for logon password where there was, previously, no (more specifically, blank) password. We tried booting into safe mode as admin, it also asked for a password where there was none. We have not found a default password, none of the defaults we knew for other microsoft products seem to work. The closest thing to a solution we have found is KB321305, but this article assumes they made a password disk (which they didn't, I think because they were not as suspicious of microsoft as I am), nor have admin priviledge, because the OS (or some updated part of it) seems to have forced a password on ALL accounts where they were all previously blank, so we can't even start in safe mode. They do not relish wiping their OS and starting over, and neither do I.
View 13 Replies View RelatedMy computer was working fine. I would turn on the computer and it'll go straight into my desktop and I'll see all my files and icons on the desktop. Just 2 days ago, my son decides to "create" his own user account and he happens to set it him up also as the "administrator". When ever we turn on the computer, it would go to a screen and it would ask us to select a user to log on as (only one avail, it's his). We'd click his user account and it goes to a desktop, however, there is only 2 icons (recycle bin and adobe reader), nothing else. Where are my files/icons? How do I fix it? I rather undo what he did but it appears that I can't delete his user account because he is the administrator.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm finally getting around to upgrading from Win98Se to XP pro. I've run into a snag. Here is the blue screen error message I've found:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps:
Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and **** (I wrote this down by hand and this word is unintelligible)
Run Chkdsk /f to check for drive corruption and restart the computer.There is some tech information as well:
***Stop: 0x0000007B)0x898863C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000,0x00000000
I've check for viruses with Panda online and there are none. I have three hard drives, two are internal and have never given me a problem and third is an internal adapted to USB. It is completely disconnected now. I have run scandisk and no errors. Drive F is a CDRW and no problems.
C is 20GB, D is 40GB, E is DVDRW and F is CDRW. Drive G,H (usb internal) is total 160GB.
What's my problem? Why can't I install XP Pro?
I run Win98SE on a P4 homebuilt PC. I'm thinking of going to Win2K Pro for various reasons. I don't want to go with Win XP because of all the folderol involved with the registration, etc.I've reformatted and reinstalled Win98SE a couple times. Would it be better to do the old fdisk/format c: or can I get by installing Win2K Pro over the top of Win98SE?

Quote: Windows cannot log you in because your profile cannot be loaded. Check that you are connected to the network or that your network if functioning correctly. If this problem persists, see your network administrator. 2. When logging in on an administrator account, it takes about 3 minutes to open explorer, and when it does, the taskbar is hidden, is acting like it is locked (even after I unlocked it) and the Start Menu won't come up.
3. User Accounts (in Control Panel), when opened, simply hangs on a blank screen
I've upgraded my PC from Win98SE to XP, and installed a second HD (as a slave) using an old Samsung SV3002H i had laying about. Bios detects it, and it shows in my device manager, but aside from that, i can't access it to either format it/see it in "my computer."
