zanga420: Hello house, I want to open a file with pdf with the 'open with' option. I didnt know I've clicked on pc suite .exe file next to the file I wanted to open. The 'open other similar files' check box was already ticked, then I clicked open. This, turned all .exe(executable n setup) files in my laptop to pdf(logo). As it is now my avast antivirus cant open or update, browser have pdf logo, encarta cant open, many things have turned pdf n it cant open them. I need help on how to reverse it n make them start working proparlly again. I dont want the laptop to crash, 'cos I bought it new after loosing 2previous brand new ones.

I am sorry i am not in a steady mind to grab all you said but the little i grabbed you could fix your problem by re-associating your PDF file to adobe reader by going to control panel and default programs.

Kingnap: Please Sir, i tried to activate the windows 7 home premium service pack 1, activation keys on my dell laptop but there is an error message saying... ''The software licensing service reported that the computer BIOS is missing a required license'' Sir please i need your help... Moreover my pc is writing ''this copy of windows is not genuine'' Please help me. Thank You

Why activating? did you format the system? did you install original OS? Nairaland is against software counterfeiting so we need to be sure you are installing an original version of the Windows.

last thing first: For your avast yea...thats a common problem with avast all you have to do is download avast uninstaller called aswClear. Download it here.

Start Windows in Safe Mode
Open (execute) the uninstall utility
If you installed avast! in a different folder than the default, browse for it. (Note: Be careful! The content of any folder you choose will be deleted!)
Click REMOVE
Restart your computer

Now lets talk about your 0xc0000005 error, after uninstalling the avast, try it if no joy....you might need to read how to boot into same mode in windows 8 and try to run such applications in same mode and see if it work.

Than we can help further

Bios password removing always not allowed here but show its possible. you might be lucky as most of the makers have back door password which works on any of their product. just get the name of your BIOS and google up backdoor for it

Do this:
Right My Computer --> Manage --> Disk Management

Now locate which one is your Harddisk
right click on it and Select change drive letter and path option
Assign a new drive letter (exaple if it was F:/ change to K:/) just make sure to change it to something else that is not already been assigned to your Harddisk.


If no joy, bro no harm, just format it....yes format it but dont reformat in any case, just format it and it should work now you can use a data recovery tool to get every bit of your data back.

Now you can contact me (info@wasconet.com) for such services and i guarantee you all your data will be recovered.

The correct procedure is to first try a backdoor password. It's well documented on the internet.
After that, we can now think about removing the Cmos battery or short the Pin. In Nigeria, I wouldn't
advice a self employed technician to do it. its risky ! if you have a business insurance, then fine.

The situation is different here in Cambridge, England. we have business insurance. it is advisable to contact the
laptop manufacturer to short the pin. E.g. Toshiba, Dell and the likes. In a commercial environent thats the standard procedure. A procedure has to exist for their to be consistency. I sincerely agree with samuel and adewasko

@Samuel, backdoor password rarely work on modern laptops or a PC. but works on bios year 1994-2004 there about. so
cheesy well said by you. Adewasko, you're also right as well. Love you all. wink

format ur pc....

Given 3RNEST suggestion. We would like you to consider the followings.

Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager.‌ If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Once in device manager, look for network adaptor, orcan you see any conflict i.e. yellow signs

Please refer to your modem isp website for compatibility. what is the made of your laptop and model number.

you could also visit control panel through the start menu and look for programs and features then try uninstalling the modem and then insert it and install it automatically.
