Hello
Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?
This problem may occur when you accidentally change parameters of type for the file .exe in Folder Options. Sometimes it can happen because of the virus also.

All the executable files (.exe files) are open with mozilla firefox by default.my system is Compaq Mini 311c-1101SA. I can't run that no matter what file.i executable can not install any program now
Hello
When you get this program you want to use to open the file, you can select the appropriate program to open it? If so, isn't there a box to check that says always use this program...
Network adapter. Missing drivers? Go to your device manager and look to see if there is lack of device drivers. They can be labeled as just a controller ethenet or other device with a small exclamation point.
This means that they need a driver. In order to send you the link to the right driver, I need to know what model of network card you have.
If you are unsure, click on all the missing devices in Device Manager. Then click on the Details tab. In the property drop-down list, select the second element (Hardware ID). After the first string of characters you see.
Who will be ID the make and model of the device and I can send you the link for the drivers.
Sorry, but I don't know anything about video games, so I can't help with that one.

All my .exe files will open in the same program, how can I solve this problem?
I double clicked a .exe program and she appeared with an error saying that it was not a correct path, so I right click on it hung over 'Open with' clicked "choose program by default" found and selected it clicked OK, and I don't see the "Always" use the selected program to open this type of file until after I clicked OK , but now all my .exe programs open the same and the .exe .lnk changed, I was about to restore my computer to the previous version, but none of them go back far enough, what should I do to cancel the default program?
Darn, I was hoping that the registry itself would correct after a reboot. I always try to this for you. Following is a somewhat similar to what was posted by hetti:

Regedit, nor any .exe file will open
I got the xp antivirus pro 2010 virus earlier today. I went through regedit and delete every registry entry associated with him... not the best move. Now im certain antivirus xp pro 2010 is totally removed from my computer. But now, I can not run any .exe, .reg file file, or Open regedit...
any help?
It's extremely likely that your computer is clean and who knows what you deleted in the registry. The most practical thing and time-effective to do would be to backup your data and do a clean install of Windows. If you don't want to do that, then either mail to one of the following specialized forums take your computer to a qualified local professional GOLD. This is not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

No .exe file will open.
My friend's computer had a virus pop up. I used malwarebytes to remove it. Everything is normal, except that every time I try to open a program with the .exe, windows says "what program you want to use to open this file? For example when I try to open internet explorer, I get this message, then a list of programs of your choice. I choose internet Explorer in the list, and then I get the dialog box that says: "do you want to run or save this file?" (iexplorer.exe). I click on run, and I get the message "this program would you use to open this file?" again, goes in a cycle. The computer is a fairly old Dell, but it is not getting used a lot except for facebook, and probably _ (where the constant malware it gets).
Hey got a fix. I used a .reg file to the executable fix. Save ALL text below in a .txt file, then change to. Reg. name it whatever you like and add to the registry:

When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. External hard drives 1 TB are about $85 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from
http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

If I try and open the shortcuts in office such as Mozilla Firefox or even Microsoft Paint, the "Open with" window appears and makes me choose what program to open it with. None of my .exe files will open directly, they make me choose what program to open it with. Some of them make me reinstall the program every time. Why my .exe files are messy?

necessary right click on the shortcut of Malwarebytes - Properties - tab - target line to see where it
is installed.Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now) and
Double-click it, and then run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with
other programs according to the needs. Use this method to others as needed - NOT assume all
a program deletes all or that it is no other malicious software.---------------------------------------------------
2.
Another method is to use them:Use Process Explorer to "Suspend" the process will not stop
Then use AutoRuns to delete the malicious program startup items.
Now use UnLocker to delete the files in the malware.

I installed 5.6.2 Pages but all my old documents will open with ' 08 v.3.03 How can I remove the Pages ' 08 and update all the old documents
5 pages is located in your Applications folder.
Pages ' 08 is located in your Applications/iWork ' 08 folder.
If you open your old documents Pages ' 08 with 5 Pages it will convert and if not damage, remove a large number of useful features.
You will probably regret upgrading to 5 Pages which Apple has made extremely inconsistent and keeps changing its file format.
