• 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:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505#LetMeFixItMyselfAlways
  However, this does not mean you're going to in the registry. You create a file that will do the registry work for you. According to this link, the fixittool only works for Vista.
  Do you like try our suggestions. Let us know how it goes.

  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.

• Each exe file I open me gives a "corrupted file... run chkdsk', but the analysis of virus and malware are clean?

  Hello

  I'm completely puzzled here. When I started my computer today I got a notification saying one of the start-up programs exe file has been corrupted. I think that "uhoh". Then my antvirus software is dΘmarre with the same and I get the notification that I'm not running and antivirus. Then I realize counts all exe files I click gives me the error "file is corrupted... Please run chkdsk" appear in the taskbar. At this point, I am thinking virus or malware.

  Some programs still work even with the corrupted message, but every exe, whether old or newly downloaded, will give me this corrupt message. Also, when I tried to reinstall my anti-virus, he wouldn't. (I'm under Avast Internet Security Pro).

  I found myself downloading AVG free and for some reason any that exe is not being corrupt. So I at least have a running antivirus software now.

  I scanned my whole system with AVG with the latest virus definitions, and it sees no virus. I run only Malwarebytes with the latest updates... nothing there either.

  Is my computer clean? For me this seems unlikely, but there is something that is not a virus or malicious software that could cause this?

  Also, I started in safe mode, and it makes exactly the same thing. Each exe is corrupt when I open it.

  I am all of these ideas, except to the reformat.

  Thank you

  Mike

  I don't see you mention on running "chkdsk".
  So, do you?

  How to run the check disk (chkdsk)... assuming you are using Vista

  Start button > Search box, type cmd > look up, right-click on cmd.exe > Run As Administrator >

  in the black and white window, at the command prompt flashes, type chkdsk/f/r > press the Enter key.
  Note: there is a space between 'chkdsk' and ' / '.
  The screen will say something like cannot do it now, but you want to run it on reboot. Click on 'y' as in Yes > press > window cmd of output.
   
  Restart your computer. It will take a while. DO NOT stop the machine. Just wait.

• .bat file changed in an .exe file that opens a file linked to the main program does not open after packed

  Here's what's happening.

  I have an add on package I wanted to pack with a main program.  The problem is that the add-on is not an .exe file so I had to make a .bat file to open it, which, unfortunately, is not recognized as a user entry point.   So I converted the file .bat to .exe file so that I could create a user to this file entry point.

  It is a situation similar to opening a word document and it will automatically open Microsoft word.  Only in my case I create a batch file for this word document and then convert it into a .exe file so I could create a user for this document entry point.

  So in my case after it's all packed to the top and I run the user entry point, I get an error could not open file.  Is that what I would call a linked file?  I'm packing up under copy writing/isolation mode and not in merged mode.

  Any ideas?

  Hi Christopher2222,

  In most cases, you won't need to run the application during the capture process. In some scenarios it will probably a solution to set some values "first round" for an application.

  In this case, you try to start a batch (bat) file. All Thinstall/ThinApp scenarios with a bat file to add this to your package.ini

  giveitaname.exe

  Source=%SystemSystem%\cmd.exe

  Shortcut = YourPackageContainer.dat

  CommandLine=%SystemSystem%\cmd.exe/k C:\PathToYourBatchFile\start.bat OptionalParameter1 OptionalParameter2

  The UNC path is not recommended.

• 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.

• Cannot open .exe files, cannot open any programs

  My computer worked fine until last night. Now, every time that I click on a shortcut, or try to open any program, I get this error: this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the set Associations control panel.  OR I get this message: the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer's system information to see if you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher.

  I got this computer for 2 years, with the same programs on it (of course they have been updated since then) and never had a problem. I can't even run a virus scan or anything to know if I have a. What is going on?
