I recently installed foobar2000 which brings up the Set Default Programs interface to handle file associations. I've never used it before, so it's likely that this problem was around for a while. At any rate, for *every* program, while I can select new file associations I can't deselect already...

First of all I don't know how to ONLY install 'Digital Image Standard 2006' and ignore all the rest on the discs (esp. Word 2002 when I already have Word 7). So I don't want an auto run, I guess. Do I need to insert Disc 1 - for the setting up first - because at this moment it isn't reading...

Hi guys, I have had XP Pro for a number of years now, and I know full well that after a while it had always deteriorated and I would have to format. This happened for around the third time where it became nearly unbareably slow. I figured since it keeps happening, and to generally get with the...

Hi all, I'm running into three issues which I'm guessing are related -- 1) Windows 7 seems to protect certain folder trees differently than others. In particular, the Program Files tree. If I try to copy a file to a folder in that tree or rename a file in one of the folders, I get a dialog...

I have a gateway nv53 and it randomly gives me bsod while doing light browsing or during installations of software. I tried updating all the drivers and even reinstalled the OS. I'm running windows 7 64 bit and I also have the dump file. I clicked on search web for problem diagnostics but...
