• Dining options - cannot run ANY .exe file

  I just set up a new 3020M and now I can't run .exe files.  I can't run from the GUI system restore, nor can I run from a CMD prompt as I can't run the cmd.exe.   Also, I can't run regedit.exe.

  I have not yet created disk backup and am not even sure I could run the program.

  Any help would be appreciated.

• I got rid of the Vista Security virus, now I can't open any .exe file and DOS commands do not the case.

  I used a program to blow this stupid fake virus Vista Security that's happened here. Subsequently, I can't open any .exe files. If I open a file saved in this format (for example, a Microsoft Word file recorded) will be open, but not all of the original programs themselves. I can't do a system restore because it's a .exe. The DOS commands, including the .com-style those don't work either! Help please!

• 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.
