Cannot open my computer vista laptop-run. EXE files any help in getting my laptop to run?

I have problems running. EXE files. I have an error message that appears sometimes only tell that he couldn't find the right files. But most of the time, he appears with select it if you want to search the Internet for help or choose which program you want to use. I tried. Fixed EXE programs, but I just cannot open the no more. help would be much appreciated - thanks

1. type the command in the dialog box RUN to open the command prompt

2. when the command prompt comes up, type cd \windows

3. type regedit to open the registry.

4. expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and find the .exe file

5. without it, developing the main folder .exe , right-click (default) right and the change . Change the value in exefile data

6. in the same HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT , find the folder items exefile and click right (default) and the change . Change the value data to "% 1" % *

7. Finally extend exefile , expand shell , Open , click the file command , right-click (default) and change . Change the value data to "% 1" % *

8. close Regedit and restart the computer. When the computer reboots, EXE files should not prompt you to choose a program to run now and load correctly.

Once these steps have been completed scan of your laptop for any virus/malware/Trojan horses and you should find this:
Infected registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ {19127ad2-394b-70f5-c650-b97867baa1f7} (Backdoor.Bot)-> quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\secfile (Trojan.Fakealert)-> quarantined and deleted successfully.

Infected registry data items:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scrfile\shell\open\command\ (Default) (Broken.OpenCommand)-> Bad: (like Notepad. (Good EXE 1%): ('%1' S)-> quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\ (Default) (Broken.OpenCommand)-> Bad: (like Notepad. (Good EXE 1%): (regedit.exe "%1")-> quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\(default) (Hijacked.exeFile )-> Bad: (secfile) good: (exefile)-> quarantined and deleted successfully.

Once everything has been cleaned, you should be good to use your laptop again.

    LTCRay,

    If the problem persists in Mode without fail, it is very likely that the system has been infected.
    You can take a look at the post of PA Bear on the removal of the malware on this thread:

  • Computer Vista laptop cannot connect to new wireless router

    I had the laptop for about a year and a half, and he has a history of being pretty skittish about the wireless connection.  Often he simply refuses to do so.  During vacation last year, for example, the other three laptops connected family easily to wi - fi hotel, but mine has refused to.  There are a lot of other moments when the laptop could not connect, but I was able to connect to two most important places - home and work - without much trouble, and so I haven't looked too hard to solve the problems of connection up to now.

    This week, I replaced the router in my original configuration.  The old Netgear router kept giving up the connection between her and my ISP.  The new Linksys router looks rock solid in this regard.  I have a desktop running XP computer that is wired to the new router Linksys, and he sees the internet very well.  My laptop Vista unable to connect (wireless), however.  He sees the network with a lot of intensity of the signal, and it tries to connect.  I get a message saying that the connection takes longer than usual, and then another message saying 'connected.'  However, I do not have internet access, and I see other devices (just the XP desktop, really) on the network.  The Network and Sharing Center shows my laptop connected to the 'unidentified network', and then there is a red X between this network and the Internet (represented by a grey globe).  Laptop computer signals its 'access' as "local only".

    From the desktop, I can access the internet, so the router is connected to the points upstream.  From the desktop, I can also access the router configuration pages, and I see that it does not list the laptop as a dhcp client, even if the laptop thinks that it is connected.

    ipconfig on laptop computer displays a wacky IPv4 address: 169.254.2.91 and I guess that the laptop does not get an address passed to the router.  I think that there should be a 192.168. *. * address if it worked properly.

    Now, I was pretty sure my laptop's wireless adapter to work properly.  It always connects to the old router and it always connects to the work.  But to be sure and really test the new router, I went out and bought another USB adapter wireless.  When I plug it into the computer to Office XP, the Office connects to the router and can see the internet (even with the connection cable is disconnected).  So the new router and the new wireless USB adapater properly.  When I plug the USB wireless adapter into the laptop, the laptop still can't connect and still not get a good ip address assigned by the router.

    I've been at this for a few days now, and I could really use some help.  I read a few items in the Microsoft forums that was supposed to fix the problem.  One of them told me to try to start a program called DHCP in the Administrative Tools folder.  I do not have this program on my computer.  Another told me manually change my registry (ouch!) and add a new DWORD value, and set its value to 1.  I did, but it did not fix the problem.

    I would be very grateful for any help.

    Jim

    Alright.  I am home to work and back again.  I have read several posts with people reporting problems similar to mine, so I guess I'm not alone in this.  In a thread, the experts proposed to start in Mode safe mode with networking.  So I gave that a shot.  I still couldn't really connect - just this 'local only' without an assigned IP address.

    One thing I did notice, is that my laptop brand and its wireless adapter seem to get a special mention in most positions.  I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ50 Notebook PC running Vista Home Premium SP2, 32-bit version (even if the processor is 64-bit).  The wireless adapter is an Atheros AR5007.  Several other people with this card have reported problems.  Maybe it's the cause?

    I look into updating the driver for the card, even if yesterday's test with the separate USB wireless adapter showed that the problem could not just be limited to the Atheros card.  To search for a driver update, I connect my laptop to the router with an ethernet cable.  It's nice to see the web on your laptop.  No update driver does.

    For fun, I try to establish a wireless connection with the router, while the wired connection is still in place.  Looks like maybe it worked?  I say a little prayer and unplug the ethernet cable...

    It's a miracle!  I have a wireless connection to the router and beyond, to the internet.  Huzzah!

    The network has a real name, too, instead of just 'unidentified network '.  I want to change the network type from the public to the private, which I was unable to do while he was still 'unidentified '.

    Can I terminate the connection so that I can see what happens when I try to reconnect.

    Another miracle!  It connects to and still see the internet.  Callooh!  Colay!

    Next test: see what happens after a reboot... (please, please, please)...

    Ch-ching!  It works again!

    Final (?) test: reinstall the McAffee internet security suite and restart.

    And it still works.

    Here's a recap of what I found:
    1. laptop could not connect wireless router again, despite dozens of attempts in which I get every available straw
    2. laptop computer could see the internet when connected to the router
    3. laptop could connect wirelessly to the router while the wired connection is in place
    4. Once this first wireless, laptop computer was able to connect to the router even when the wired connection has been removed and the computer restarts

    I would describe my discovery above as a work-around rather than as a solution, however.  It does not always help me stay connected the next time I'm on vacation, for example.  But perhaps the information I provided can help experts to diagnose the real problem a little.

    I look forward to hear something back.
