Cannot open all programs, particularly .exe files or programs.
Help!
I may have an idea of the problem, but I don't know how to fix it. To give a race to the bottom; I already had utorrent on my computer. I open utorrent and he said that he had a new version/update available, so I've updated (uTorrent) and from there the problems began. In one of the windows it asked me if I wanted to "Open with this program" and "always open programs like this with" (utorrent) is what he asked. From there on, I was not able to open anything.
Even in safe mode, I can't open anything. All I can do is go on the internet. I can't even open the registry, System Restore, the prompt command or anything that might help me to solve the problem. All my programs had tried to open in utorrent, but then I deleted it. Now when I try to open something, for example Microsoft Word, it is saidC:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD. EXE "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. In the control panel to define Associations, create association. »
Another message that I get when I try to open many other programs or the restoration of the system, the command prompt is:
'Open with '.
Choose the program you want to use to open this file:
File: rstrui.exe
cmd.exe
In the box, it recommended programs:
Internet Explorer
Other programs
I doubt it's a virus I have the total package of moy. I've seen this problem before on a brand new computer I was using utorrent, but I just restarted and it fixed. Not this time! I am really pulling my hair out! Please help me if possible.
Go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and click the EXE LNK to reset these file associations. That should take care of your program files. I don't know if this will solve the problem with other file types, but at least it's a start.
I hope this helps. I would like to know if other types of files are still screwed up or if this problem fixed them as well.
Good luck!

lack of PIDOCOB6.dll cannot open the program of old software from microsoft for photos
=========================================
The article Microsoft Knowledge Base that address the
Question of PIDOCOB6.dll are no longer available, but I think
the fix was to uninstall/reinstall Picture It!.Also... the error could be related to a printer driver... If you
recently installed a new printer or your printer driver update
It is maybe at fault.Sorry that's all I have on the subject.
There is a Picture It! Group on Yahoo Groups... maybe
could someone offer a few ideas:A_Picture_It_Help · Creative with Picture It & SOAK!

The version of IE is Vista Home
Can you help me with some of the other instructions.
1: how to run WMUtil
2: How can I deactivate AVG
3: How do I restart
Thank you
John Gifford
You are is Windows Vista Home version. Open Internet Explorer and click Help | Everything. You get the error message is a known problem with IE8, although I thought that was patched.
1: Download the zip file. Right-click | Extract all. Click on the result and run it. You will see buttons for compact and repair the database.
2: click the icon in the Notification area to open the program. You will need to look around, after that, as I'm not familiar with the details about moy.
3: click Start, and then stop. When the computer is turned off completely, press the power button to restart.
