"this file does not have a program associated with it for performi

[Guest markm75]

I'm suddenly getting this error on random exe's i try to run.. i also had

power chute v 2.21 stop working.. it now errors out when it tries to launch...

 

Has anyone ever run into this and avoided a complete reinstall to fix this?

 

Seems to be pretty random...

 

Thanks

Since subject lines are not capable of infinitely long

input, what exactly is your problem that is cut off above?

 

Subjects are supposed to be short and to the point, not

entire novels!

Also, what operating system are you using? This forum is

for 64-bit Windows.

I could have sworn when i pasted the subject line in.. it was all there :)

 

Here is the error and OS: "this file does not have a program associated

with it for performing" x64 vista

 

Other notes.. attempts to reinstall affected apps have failed.. ie:

winrar.. right clicking files to use winrar with result in this error after

first uninstalling (and getting that error initially) and reinstalling..

 

There are other affected programs as well.. but not everything is affected.

I will defer to the Vista gurus.

 

I haven't taken the plunge yet!

many many thanks.. i was about to give up hope as i didnt discover these

ones.. this worked like a treat (though of course, i did need to reinstall a

few things to get the context menus back, like winrar) but i'm good to go

again.

 

Thanks

This may not be related.. but it is an exe issue..

 

I'm trying to reinstall my powerchute apc 2.11 software (personal edition)

and i get partway through the installer and this error appears (this appears

to be a windows error based on some searching):

 

Component: Application

File Group: App Executables

File: (blank)

Error: Catastrophic Failure

 

 

 

I'm not sure what to do to get around this?

 

Any thoughts?

Hi,

You have made no mention of what is your OS.

Download the proper PowerChute version from here:

http://www.apcc.com/tools/download/index.cfm

If you already have the "proper" version, then download it again (file might

be corrupt) and run it as Administrator.

Best of luck.

Carlos

P.S.: I would not discard running also a memory check program like

memtest86. Some bad memory stick might be playing games with you.

Its x64 vista.. yeah i did redownload it.. no luck..

 

I suspected at one point i had bad memory (2 chips of the 4 chips, 4GB

total).. but i found a thread that said for my board under x64 to enable

memory remap, which i did.. i can now run x64 without it being 100% cpu (x86

was fine).. but yeah i have these weird errors..

 

I ran memtest via the bootCD at one point.. it seemed to freeze at a certain

point with 1 contiguous error listed (had the slots listed).. i swaped the

memory from bank to bank.. reran it.. it came out clean, but didnt list the

slots since then for some reason.. so now i'm not sure whats going on.. i am

tempted to contact corsair and just send all 4 sticks back and swap out if

theyll do it..

Re: "this file does not have a program associated with it for perf

 

I would recommend asking APC Tech Support if powerchute 2.11

is actually x64 compatible. There is nothing on their web

site to indicate it is and if you look at earlier versions

for win XP, they never released a Win x64 version. You may

be inducing your problems by trying to install software not

intended for the 64-bit environment.

Re: "this file does not have a program associated with it for perf

 

You are right, Theo. No mention to Windows XP x64 compatibility.

I can confirm that it does work in Vista x64, though.

Actually.. it was running fine on x64 till recently, again, maybe memory

related... i run it fine on two work machines under x64 vista as well..
