Unable to associate file extension with default program [Fix]

Maybe you’ve already experienced this phenomenon.

You are trying to set a custom application as a default program for a specific file extension but somehow the “Open With” dialog doesn’t remember application you have selected.

Here’s probably a solution for you.

1. Check the filename of the application you want to use as your default program, e.g. PDFXCview.exe.
2. Open the Registry Editor (Win+R –> regedit –> Enter)
3. Go to following key:
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\]
4. Search for an entry named after the filename of your application
5. Now simply delete that entry

LG GH20NS10 + Windows 7 = Problems (Fix)

If you own a LG GH20NS10 Sata burner and have installed Windows 7 or are going to do you’ll most probably experience some issues with this drive.

Windows 7 somehow got a problem with this burner. Already the installation from DVD is problematic. The installation takes many hours. If you managed to install Windows 7 successfully you’ll encounter another annoying problem.
Every time you put a disc in your LG GH20NS10 the system freezes.
If you didn’t even manage to install Windows 7 try the steps below starting with 4. and start the installation again.

Here’s the complete solution that may work for you if you have already installed Windows 7 and experience the freezing Windows problem:

1. Create following registry entry:
   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci]
   "Start"=dword:00000000
   

    
2. Or simply copy the above code into notepad and save it somewhere with the extension .reg and double click the file.
3. Now restart your system.
4. Enter the BIOS
5. Select Integrated Peripherals
6. Go to On-Chip ATA Devices
7. Change the RAID mode to AHCI
8. Save the settings and restart

Another thing you could try is to install the latest Firmware from LG.
I would recommend to do this in another PC.

Windows 7: Make Explorer start in My Computer instead of Libraries

If you find it annoying that the Windows Explorer Icon on the taskbar always opens with the Libraries then there’s an easy way to change the behaviour.

1. Right click on the Explorer icon
2. Right click on Windows Explorer
3. Select properties
   
4. Input at the end of the target field “/e,” without the quotes so that you get the following line:
   ”%windir%\explorer.exe /e,”
5. You’re done. Explorer will now always open in the My Computer view.
   

You can change the Explorer Command Line Switches to make Windows Explorer start in any folder you want.
For more explanation on the Switches you can check the following links:

Umax Vaova DTV-2900 DVB-T

My Umax Vaova DTV-2900 DVB-T  suddenly stopped working.
I opened the case and made some photographs of the inside. With the help of others soon was clear that the C39 capacitor was defective.
I my very noob skills I exchanged it with a new one and to my surprise the device was working again.

Here are the photos from the inside of the device:

Extract recordings of DVBH-1000/2000 or Umax Vaova DTV-2900

I have a Umax Vaova DTV-2900 DVB-T Receiver at home.
Recently I wanted to extract a recording from the HDD for archiving. I searched the net and found the Sigmatek Disk Reader (mirror) from a czech source which serves this purpose.

Here I write you the procedure how to extract and convert the recordings from the Umax Vaova DTV-2900 or DVBH-1000/2000 recorder.
First you will need to update the DTV-2900 receiver to the latest Firmware.

Proceed with the following steps:

1. Install with "Sigma.msi. After the installation it is necessary to restart the system
2. Connect the HDD from DVBH-1000/2000 or Umax Vaova DTV-2900 to your PC
3. Run the application "Sigmatek Disk Reader"
4. From the dropdown list under "Disk" select the correct HDD and press MOUNT
   
5. Select the drive letter that will be assign to the drive (for example, Z:)
   
6. On the disk M: we find the following or similar structure

   M:\
       recordings
           CT 24
               data
               index
               info
               PMT
           OCKO-TV 
               data
               index
               info
               PMT
           Prima TV

   The files named "data" contain the recorded stream from the DVB-T in the Transport Stream (TS) format.
    

7. Copy individual files to your PC-HDD
8. Add the extension .ts such as "data.ts"
9. Run program "PVAStrumento.exe"
10. Open the files "data.ts"
11. Press the button "make ps"
12. Choose a new file name and its location with the ending .mpg.
13. Press the button "Start"
14. Now we have a standard MPEG2 file that can we can easily play,  edit it with other tools or simply burn it to a DVD.
15. Now you can go back to "Sigmatek Disk Reader" and select "Unmount"
16. After you turn off your computer you can disconnect the disc and put it back into your DVBH-1000/2000 or Umax Vaova DTV-2900

Credits go to the czech source where I found this.

The Windows Experience Index for your system could not be computed

Go to C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT or %windir%\Performance\WinSAT and check the winsat.log.

If you find the following line:
893651 (2900) - winsat\main.cpp:4736: ERROR:  Unable to save validated results.
then go to the DataStore folder and delete all files or create a new folder (e.g. TEMP) and move all files into it.

Now repeat the WEI computation and it should work.

This solved the problem for me.

PATH variables not resolving

Just recently I had the problem that I couldn't execute most of the commands in the Windows Command Prompt.

When I tried to ping, ipconfig or similar, the prompt just said something like ""ipconfig" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable system program or batch file.".

 I checked the path variable under the "Environment Variables" ([WIN] + [Pause] ≫ Advanced ≫ Environment Variables): %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM

Okay, this looks good. So tried "echo %systemroot%" in the Command Prompt ([WIN] + [R] ≫ cmd) and the variable got correctly resolved: "C:\WINDOWS".

But when I tried "path" in the Command Prompt I got "PATH=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM;…". Correctly it should be "PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM;…". Apparently the path variables didn't get resolved for some reason.

Not knowing what the problem was I played around a bit with the "path variable" and suddenly it worked again. But not for long, next time I restarted the same problem reappeared. So decided to do a little research through Google and found this helpful blog post.

Solution

The problem is that the path key in the registry should be of the type "Reg_Expand_SZ" and mysteriously it was of type "Reg_SZ".

Here the step-by-step solution:

1. Go to: Start > Run > Regedit (alt.: [WIN] +[R] > regedit)
   
2. Check: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
   
3. Make sure that the registry key holding the path is of Reg_Expand_SZ type rather Reg_SZ type
   
4. If the holding key is Reg_SZ change it into Reg_Expand_SZ by:
   

• Double Click "Path" and copy it's Data Value "…%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%; …" to avoid to rewrite it again
  
• Delete the "Path"
  
• Create New > Expandable String Value
  
• Give "Path" as the name, double click it, and Paste the value copied in the previous step to the "Value Data" field
  

1. Close the Regedit window and restart your system or just log-off and on
   

Another step-by-step solution without using the registry and which should do the same:

1. Go to the "Environment Variables"
   

• [WIN] + [Pause] > Advanced > Environment Variables
  

1. Under "System variables" double click on "Path"
   
2. Copy the the whole path (%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM;…)
   
3. Click Cancel
   
4. Delete the "Path" variable
   
5. Click New and use the same name "Path" and paste now the old Path variable values
   
6. Click OK and OK
   
7. Now restart or just log-off and on

Realtek AC'97 Audio Codecs Vista/Win7 (32/64 bits) Driver

DriverVer=03/10/2009, 6.0.1.6303

The ALC650 is an 18-bit, full duplex AC'97 2.2 compatible stereo audio CODEC designed for PC multimedia systems, including host/soft audio and AMR/CNR based designs.

The ALC650 incorporates proprietary converter technology to achieve a high SNR, greater than 90 dB. The ALC650 AC'97 CODEC supports multiple CODEC extensions with independent variable sampling rates and built-in 3D effects.

The ALC650 CODEC provides two pairs of stereo outputs with independent volume controls, a mono output, and multiple stereo and mono inputs, along with flexible mixing, gain and mute functions to provide a complete integrated audio solution for PCs. The digital interface circuitry of the ALC650 CODEC operates from a 5V/3.3V power supply with EAPD (External Amplifier Power Down) control for use in notebook and PC applications.

The ALC650 integrates a 50mW/20ohm headset audio amplifier into the CODEC, which can save BOM costs.

The ALC650 also supports an AC'97 2.2 compliant SPDIF out function which allows easy connection from the PC to consumer electronic products, such as AC3 decoder/speaker and mini disk.

The ALC650 CODEC supports host/soft audio from Intel 810/815/820/845 chipsets as well as audio controller based VIA/SIS/ALI chipsets. Bundled Windows series drivers (Win95/98/ME/2000/XP/NT) and sound effect utilities (supporting Karaoke, emulation of 26 sound environments, and 5-band equalizer) provide a more comprehensive entertainment package for PC users. Finally, internal PLL circuits generate required timing signals, eliminating the need for external clocking devices.

Features of Realtek AC97 ALC650 Audio Codecs :

- High-performance CODEC with high S/N ratio (>90 dB)
- 18-bit ADC and 20-bit DAC resolution
- Compliant with AC'97 2.2 specifications
- 18-bit stereo full-duplex CODEC with independent and variable sampling rate

- Mono output with 5-bit volume control
- Stereo output with 5-bit volume control
- 6 channel slot selectable DAC output for multi-channel applications
- 2 MIC inputs, which are software selectable
- Power management capabilities
- 3D Stereo enhancement
- Embedded 50mW/20ohm OP at front LINE output
- External amplifier power down capability
- Digital S/PDIF output
- Digital S/PDIF input (ALC650 Rev. E or later)
- No external crystal/clock required
- Supports 1 general purpose I/O pin
- Power supply: digital: 3.3V; analog: 5V/3.3V
