• Black screen - cannot run Explorer.exe with Task Manager

  Hi guys

  I've been Googling the answer to that for the last day and nothing seemed to work.

  Basically, my portable was working fine until this morning, when I restarted. After the home screen, just a rear screen with the mouse. CTRL ALT DEL and everything still works normally. I can run programs with the Task Manager, but can not run explorer.exe. He returned in the process for about 10 seconds then disappears. I think that it is the cause of the black screen. I tried downloading an own explorer.exe and replace the explorer.exe in C:\Windows\. My computer it did not as he said I need the permission of the administrator, but of course, I am the Admin so I don't know what that's all.
  I tried to restart in Mode safe and that works very well, still, I can't replace the explorer.exe in the C:\Windows\ because I do not have the administrative authorization. I tried to change it in the Security tab of the properties, or impossible.
  I also tried to update the driver software graphics cards, checked the Shell in the registry value and made sure it's explorer.exe, used the difficulty of black of Pevx screen, used HitmanPro and Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to scan and remove malware. I even did a scf/scannow, checked driver C a mistake (which took 3 hours!), let Windows Startup Repair to fix things, tried a system restore but failed. He says that the anti-virus (Sophos) prevented the restoration of the system, so I've temporarily disabled its access scanning on but still unable to restore to a previous (11/01). Program changes that recent such as listed in the system restore is Google + Auto BackUp who came when set Picasa to date there 3 days and a more recent version of Facebook video call I've ever used. I am now running a scan with Sophos, not too promising.
  So yes, I tried everything. I think that now, there are only three options:

  1 somehow replace the explorer.exe in C:\Windows\ with this new cool explorer.exe, which I downloaded, with the permission of the administrator
  2. try another restore of the system, but I'm sure that nothing will happen, already tried three times.
  3 reinstall Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. It will be a real pain.

  So please help me! I have courses of due on Monday and this portable do not let me what that be done. Thank you!!!

  Please ignore the other my long answer. The problem has now been resolved.

  After trying all kind of scans, drinking and sobbing, I came across TDSS Killer from Kaspersky, who managed to catch a 1 latest unique malicious software (that I was too stupid and really looked hopeless and remember the name of), it cures the problem after reboot. Now, the laptop works well like you wouldn't believe. I'm still confused but way too happy now to care. Thanks a lot for your help nevertheless!

• 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.

  You have malware rootkit and reinstall from scratch.

  Hive HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, which most will be begins with a period:

  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.avi
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bmp
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.PDF
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AudioCD
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile
  • ...

  Each of these registry keys stores information on what should be Windows when you double-click on a file with this extension.

• A user account cannot run a .exe, only to get hold to open/save.

  A user account running on this PC suddenly can't startup such as IE applications, Solutions from HP, widget bar displaying stopped, etc. could be a virus, the user compained about nagging holdup to install virus protection, even if we have MacAfee in place and fine workmanship, all protections in place.

I'm an admin, but I don't see a way to solve this problem in the mapping of types of files/mimetypes.

  Hi Iluvtunes,

  This could be a problem with the corruption of the user profiles, because this issue is not with the other user accounts. I suggest to create a new user and check if the problem persists.

  Steps to create a new user profile.

  1. Open a user account by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.
  2. Click Manage another account.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  3. Click create a new account.
  4. Type the name that you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click create an account.

  If the new user account works fine, then you can copy all the files to the new user profile.

• Cannot run pwix.exe cd

  I can't launch the history of the world by Getty Images cd on my Vista system. It does not recognize the file pwix.exe, any help appreciated.

  Check if the program is Vista Compatible:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

  Windows Vista Compatibility Center

  First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
  It works for some programs, but not all.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

  If it's Vista compatible > save to your desktop > right click on the setup.exe > run as admin.

  See you soon.

• Cannot run 'CEC_MAIN.exe' Please reinstall this program!

  I get this error message when I start my laptop.  Any input would be welcome on what is and how to solve it.  Thank you!

  Thank you, Mick, you helped me solve my problem!  The only glitch was in the instructions of Bindu R first 'go to the main page of Kaspersky,' then ' choose control > application.»  I have KIS 2010.  When I clicked on the Kaspersky icon on my desk, there was no point of logic "choose control > application.»  But when I clicked on the tab "" my Security Zone, he opened a screen at the top, was a topic 'Application Control'. "."  Just below, this is a link to "Enforcement activity".  When I clicked on this link, to jump a list of all the applications on my laptop, including 'cec_main.exe', the State need not read "approved."  I clicked on "not reliable" and changed "trust."  Problem solved.

  Thanks again.

  Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
