Which one?? As I said above: I have a Microsoft Live account, and a half dozen logins on Roboform. I have a Microsoft Tech Net login, a OneDrive login and even a Developers login. All different. And none work on my desktop PC for the Windows Login. I have tried the password for all of them...

Thanks. I've tried that and I get an error I haven't seen before: C:\WINDOWS\system32>whoami river-2\steve C:\WINDOWS\system32>net user steve xyzzy System error 8646 has occurred. The system is not authoritative for the specified account and therefore cannot complete the operation. Please...

No, the first thing it asks for is the Windows login password.

I have been logging on to my PC for years using just the PIN, but I have a program that requires my Windows password, and I can't recall it. I can't share folders without it, and I can't manage my credentials without it. Can I change or reset the password after logging on with my PIN - AND not...

I am having a problem with splwow64.exe hanging up my PC, but only once per day. I routinely start a process in the morning, it can be Snagit, Notepad, Word, Textpad, Excel - really anything that might print. It doesn't matter. The application appears "hung". I then open the Resource Monitor...

This is a strange one and I fear I may have to reinstall Win 7 and a few dozen programs. This is my main PC at my home office, running Win 7 pro. I have several printers installed:(Two on USB ports and one wireless Canon- and a few virtual printers like Snagit and PDF995). I can print the...

Yes, it and the prior version were 64-bit. This all started, come to think of it, when I upgraded from Version 10 to Version 11 of Vegas. I would double-click on a .veg file it would go to Version 10 - the old version. I uninstalled Version 10 and the O/S then responded to a double-click on...

Thanks for hanging in there with me. C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 11.0 I tried adding that folder to the system PATH environment variable, but it made no difference. When I right-click and open with, Vegas is not in the "recommended" or "other" programs list. If I browse for...

I still have this problem if anyone has any new ideas.

Thanks for the tip - I thought you might be onto something, but all I got was a circle with the line through it.

There's no option within the program to create the associations, and when the program is installed, it makes the associations automatically. I tried reinstalling the program, but the association still isn't there.

That's the weird part. When I hit "Browse", I can navigate to the .exe file. I select it, but it does not show up in the list of possible programs to make the association. My workaround is to drag the .veg file to the Vegas shortcut (icon) on the desktop (or in my project folder), and...

Thanks for the Filext tip, but I already know what the extension association is supposed to be, which is all the FileExt site does, plus try to sell me yet another Registry Scanner that I will never buy. The problem I am having is that I cannot select the installed program to run when I...

Win 7 Premium, 64-bit, HP Pavilion Quad-core, Sony Vegas, .veg files. The file type association with Sony Vegas (vegas110.exe) is broken. When I go into the Control Panel to select the default program (Sony Vegas) for the type (.veg), I select "vegas110.exe" as the application to start for...

wisnoskii - This generally works for most normal folders, but as soon as I put a graphics file into a folder that formerly had none, Windows decides to make the whole folder into a Pictures folder. I want to turn that automatic "feature" off.
