  1. Application will not open


    I am having issues with a payroll program that i have installed on a friends computer for them. This program works perfectly fine on one of their computers that is running windows 10. I then installed the same version of the program on the computer my friend wanted the software on.(this computer is running windows 8) the install went smooth but after the install the program will not open. Even when trying to run as admin it does nothing. I figured the program might not be compatible with windows 8 so i upgraded this computer to windows 10 and the problem is still occouring. I have tried reinstalling the program and running it in compatablity mode as well. Any ideas as to what is causing this and how to resolve it would be helpful. Also the program is called payroll mate 2019. I have looked on their website and have not found any answers and there customer service phone number is monday-friday and i really need to get this figured out today!

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    :)

    Windows fails to open applications

    Hi,

    Once I have several applications open Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 refuses to open further application. I have heavy-weight applications like Delphi and Eclipse open, but the OS has coped with this in the past.

    No error messages are reported by the application I am attempting to open, and there are no messages in the event viewer. What is really strange is that once the OS gets itself into this state, it appears that the OS can't allocate enough memory to perform simple API calls. If I go into an application that is already open and try to open the file menu, or right click on the taskbar to open the context menu, nothing happens.

    If I close a few applications, then the problem goes away. The Task Manager performance tab indicates that I still have ~1Gb of physical memory available.

    I think this could be caused by:

    - A memory module is damaged. My memory is comprised of 1x1Gb modules. When the system attempts to allocate memory in the second module, it is unable to. I think this is a bit of a long-shot because I wouldn't expect my PC to boot if a memory module was playing-up

    - I've installed something that has put something malicious on my PC. The only things I've installed recently are PRGrep and WinGrep, but unfortunately I didn't make a system restore point, and windows hasn't retained those old restore points. However a full Sophos scan doesn't show-up anything.

    Any suggestions on how to diagnose/fix this welcome because I'm baffled as to what is going on.

    Thanks,

    Frank.

    Open With opens with different application then the one selected

    Can someone please provide the steps to fix this? This is maddening!

    I just upgraded to Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 and now it doesn't even show up in the list of Open With applications.

    I don't want Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 to be the default application to open image files as I use numerous different applications to work on my images. I just want it to be an option in the Open With list.

    How do I get Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 to show up in the list of Open With applications and how do I confirm that when I select it to open a file it actually opens instead of some different application.

    Thanks
