Hi Mark,
This problem occurs when your .exe file associations are broken. This is usually caused by malicious software that changes the default file associations in Windows. Follow these instructions to resolve this problem:
Download exeHelper from one of these two links: link 1, link 2 double-click exeHelper to run the fix. A black window should appear. Once the patch is finished, press any key to close.
I hope this helps you.

  • Windows cannot find the program to open the exe file

    I did the windows repair option by restarting then pressed f8 to get to come repair options. I did it to try to remove a number of problems of virus on my laptop. It seems that it has solved the problem, but now when I try to access one of my desktop icon shortcuts it indicates that windows cannot find the program to open the exe file. She does it with every shortcut. I can access the location of the program and then select open with and it will be opened in this way, but there is not and I have to select each time. Another option that works is a right-click on the icon and selecting 'start' and who will run the program properly. Other than simply double-click the icons automatically no longer works since I did this repair.

    Hello

    You can download the Setup from the Microsoft page of WIindows disk:

    Then you could install the Microsoft recovery console that helps you use the commands * Fixmbr and Fixboot * to fix the Boot Manager:

  • Update interrupted - now cannot start Windows

    Hello

    Completely new to this forum and in the world of the system recovery / technical questions will therefore be very grateful for any help that you can offer but please keep clear answers.

    I am running windows 7 on a Samsung laptop about 3 years. During the last weeks I had problems with the battery. When not plugged in the laptop sometimes turned off and the error messages pops up saying occasionally replace the battery. I now only use it plugged into the mains. However, yesterday, when I tried to stop, windows installed updates and the wall socket, broke off. To my horror, the computer turns off so that the update (1 of 31).

    Now, I can't start windows. See below what I tried so far without success.

    Tried to load Windows normally. Key start-up windows screen and then error blue screen and restarts.

    Tried to select recovery at startup option. Through repair screens. Asked if I would restore the system to an earlier era. Tried by selecting Yes and no at this point. So yes, message says not able to repair and asks if I want to send an error message. In the absence, said also unable to repair.

    Tried to start in safe mode. As above - will from the screen windows and error, then blue and restarts.

    Tried to insert the Samsung recovery cd. When the computer starts. Press the key to load from cd. This goes to a windows install page (select language, etc.). Seems to be saying that if I do that I'll lose files?  So not go one more away.

    Have you tried pressing f8 and repair different, but process as well as above - unable to repair.

    I myself am kicking to not fix the battery problem, but I never thought it would happen. In any case, I have a recent backup of most of the files, so not a total disaster, but I would like to save some recent if possible files. The only other option I see is to remove the hard drive and buy a USB connector stada (?) and try to transfer as an external drive. How difficult is cela and what connector do I need? Understand you can not recommend a product, but is there something specific I should look for, and what are the differences between the cheapest and most expensive? Are there more reliable / brands of higher quality that I should look for? Also, if I do this, can I then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows, and it's going to work?

    I have no knowledge of the BIOS so not sure I can try relating to the recovery of base?

    Will be very grateful if someone could help it. I can post more detailed error codes / logs later when I'm in front of a computer if you need.

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and your efforts to resolve the issue is highly appreciated.

    According to the description of the problem, you cannot start your Windows 7 computer. This could be if there is a corruption of system files or boot files are missing or damaged.

    I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start the recovery Windows (WINRE) environment . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  • Lenovo U350, cannot start all programs at any given time

    Hi experts,

    I met some problems with my Lenovo U350 Windows 7 again.

    All of a sudden, I can't start any program on my laptop after running it for a while. I click on the program, I can see this program running in the Task Manager, but it does not appear on the screen.

    Also I can't reboot my laptop normally by clicking the "Restart" or "Shut down" buttons or the other. For some reason any these buttons/controls stop working. The only way to fix this is a closed hard down in now "Power" button on the laptop for a few seconds.

    I ran the antivirus check on my laptop to find existing viruses but came out with a result of 0 viruses.

    I wonder why the programs on my laptop stop the loading or gel? Any ideas?

    I'm so close to reinstall the whole system with the OKR.

    Thanks for your replies in advance.

    See you soon,.

    Randy.

  • Start "All programs" menu empty file (Windows Vista)

    All my programs on my menu start "all programs" folder disappeared. There are a few but those I recently downloaded. Accessories is not yet there. I searched all cases online to find the authors response to repopulate my all programs, but without success.

    I have restarted my computer several times. I did an analysis of checker (SFC) to file system. I ran a registry by Uniblue Fixer; I tried antivirus scans and analyses ad-aware; nothing seems to work. I still have all my programs and have lost but they are simply not easy access and I really want to take the time to build my own folder "all programs." I really want my old one back. But how?

    And P.S. I can't just restore because I never ran a backup before, so there is nothing to restore.

    Thank you!!!

    1.) open the path below, replace the {username} with your own login
    Start\program C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
    2.) look if there is nothing there. If there is not something, it means it is initially empty. Meaning, it could have been deleted accidentally away.

    Recovery of most of them back
    1.) go to the path below, with a different name as {username} by default or user
    Start\program C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
    2.) copy them through your way with your {username} don't forget not to vote also useful for others and to accept the proposed response, if it is relevant build it KB in this Forum.
