- Recently I downloaded the Windows Media Bonus Pack for Windows XP. After the installation I click the 'Getting started with Windows Media Bonus Pack' but there is an error that appeared which says: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control Panel". What does the error message means? Kindly give me ways to solve such problems.

The file it is loading has nothing that can read it. Copy the shortcut address into the Start>Run bar, find the file, most likely it's .pdf, then install Adobe Reader to read it.
If it is not .pdf let us know so we can help.

The GetDriveLayOut error I'm pretty sure is related to a RAID setup, so I would have to agree that removing the VIA RAID tool would help. As for the "maximum number of secrets" error, it means you have more than 4096 encrypted files on your computer. The US government decided 4096 should be the maximum allowed to prevent people from cracking the encryption on your computer and gaining access to sensitive files. I'm not sure exactly how it helps, but many error log files and things like that in Windows are encrypted, so that might be your problem. As far as I know, this problem only exists in Windows (Microsoft LOVES to place annoying restrictions on everything imaginable). The only way I can think of to solve your problem would be to back up any important files and reinstall your operating system. If you can't even get into Windows to back anything up then get on a friend's computer and download the GParted LiveCD ISO and ImgBurn. Then use ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD. Then boot to GParted, shrink your current Windows partition by about 3,072 MiB (3 GB), and create a new NTFS partition from the empty space you just made. Now you just use your Windows install disc to install a new copy of Windows to the new partition you just made. You should be able to access all of your files on the original partition, so you can back them up to an external drive, then wipe your hard drive clean and reinstall Windows again. Or you could just switch to Linux and solve this problem indefinitely.

It means The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control Panel.

It would help if you gave the extension of the file you clicked. It is possible that it is an Adobe Acrobat file and you do not have the Adobe Reader installed. This is a program that should be installed on everyone's computer due to the vast number of instruction files that use it.

It means that Windows doesn't know what program will interact with a file that is trying to be opened. Are you trying to access a specific file or is this the shortcut the installation process put on the Desktop/Start Menu?
