    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and start safe mode.  Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure.  To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode.  Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem.  To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore.  Click on the box that says show more restore points.
    You can check the corrupted system files.  Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.
    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log.  To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.  Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    Hello

    a. how long have you been faced with this problem?
    b. any recent hardware/software changes made on your computer?
    c. you are trying to install applications/programs from your administrator account?

    Right-click on the configuration file and select run as administrator (you can also use the same step to run also installed programs). Now, check if that helps.

    You can also try to enable disable User Account Control (UAC) and check if that helps. After return to status.

    Note: Enable UAC after verification.

    User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.

  • Cannot start programs - OPEN WITH missing function

    A few days ago, I tried to download and install a chess in Chessbase engine, a database utility. I did not. I remember at one point a flashing horizontal line in the upper left corner of a window black arise at a time, so that illuminates what could have transpired. Basically, I tried to get out without making any damage, but it was not to be the case. Immediately after that, I noticed that many programs Office now had ChessBase icons instead of those who were there previously. In addition, whenever I would try to run any program, including Firefox, Word, etc. it would immediately launch the basic chess program. I did some reading, tinkered around (oops) and restored the original icons for the desktop, but not their original function.

    I am more able to launch ANY program installed (MS WORD 97, for example) by using the OPEN WITH option, that has completely disappeared. I am not able to access the recovery files via the control panel because when I select "Open system restore", the error message in the recovery area States that "System Restore could not be opened."

    When I followed the trail into a .exe file (for MS Word, for example), I can't open it. I tried following some tips on a couple of occasions involving typing in commands in the search box (for example, regedit.exe) but never, it opens the file automatically, or makes a double click. Needless to say (but I say that! LOL) right-click to access the OPEN WITH feature is never an option, because it no longer exists in the menu!

    I use a method 'diverted' to access the internet (start-> all programs-> CCleaner (folder)-> CCleaner Homepage. This puts me in the Firefox browser online where I can ask for help. Help! (LOL)

    Try to start the restoration of the system of the box executer run from the start menu, type rstrui.exe in the box.  If it does not try to run it from a safe secure with command prompt with the same control rstrui.exe.
