help XP Windows (.exe, .lnk)
Problem: cannot open all of the files on my computer and tried to the low fixed charge, restorations of registry, but they do not work because I can't open anything with an extention. Is anyway to solve this problem, or a site online where to read and difficulty without needing to download the app. ?
1. run .exe from Doug Knox fix. The fix is not an .exe file so can be run. http://www.dougknox.com/XP/file_assoc.htm
2. perform a full scan for malware. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

Following the advice on a Wikipedia page to remove a virus 'active security scan', I accidentally deleted a potion of my registry (software?) Now I can't access any .exe, .lnk, files etc. I get the message "windows cannot open this file", and then me accesses a page with no software suggested to open the file. I tried the system restore, but get the same message when I try to open the system restore program. Any suggestions?

With the help of windows Explorer XP does use CPU to go to 100% and the blocking of the system, forever, until closing by force. What can I do?
It is very difficult to manage my files.I suggest you download Process Explorer. This freeware utility performs a similar function to the Windows Task Manager, but it goes much further.
For more information about Process Explorer, see here:

Explorer.exe is used by a number of applications. The posting process and see which element below uses explorer.exe.

Windows.exe gobbling up memory and CPU often CPU ranges between 50 and 100%.
Hello
My PC recently turned very, very slowly and often unresponsive. When I bring up the Task Manager, on the processes tab, I see that Windows.exe uses as much as 1 million K of memory and often the CPU ranges between 50 and 100%. What is happening while no application works. I have also noticed that in the Task Manager, there are two processes with the name of the image of windows.exe and consuming all the power and memory has no user name. When I try to end the process on this one it still won't let me and a message appears saying that I don't have permission to do this, or something to that effect. I am however able to stop other processes including the windows.exe with my username process. The cases where it allows me to stop the process, performance improves, but given a little time, again with nothing running, it starts again. Thinking it was a virus, I missed the live update on Norton and performed a full scan, but nothing found. I also tried Windows defender, but in vain. Any help on this problem is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

From what I found, Windows.exe is likely malware:

I want to upgrade to the latest version but - Firefox Help/About - window does not display 'upgrade' as in the instructions. I can't find a function 'upgrade' anywhere else. How to pass? The version I have is - 18.0.1 - it came with this computer.
In my view, that this computer has been hacked. Word began to do very strange things. We erased the hard drive and reloaded everything as it was originally when I bought it. I'm now get hacked online.
Initially, they got in one of my credit cards last fall. That's when all this started. They had my AOL e-mail address. He also got your credit card balance, the minimum payment, the due date and even then the amount of the payment. They got in my Barnes & Noble account and now order does not. Now I believe that they got on my AOL account - one thing after another began to go wrong. I can't change this AOL user id/e-mail address since it's the captain and I would like to lose about 15 years of "stuff."
The people who sold me this computer told me to use a free version of the antivirus. I'm very unhappy with him. I never had NO problem when I used fresh products of TrendMicro. These people also told me to use Firefox, because AOL uses Internet Explorer - what I already knew is like Swiss cheese.
Now, I can't get an update of Firefox. Is this also a hack?
Please help sort you can. Thank you for your time.
It's probably just the Firefox update problems. go to www.getfirefox.com and download Firefox 20.0.1

Hi Vinothsrd,
Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers!
Since FarCry 1 is not compatible with Windows 7.
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?type=software&s=far%20Cry%201 you can do one or two things. You can sign under the administrator account and run the installation.
The following link shows also the same.
You can also locate the Setup program on the CD or from your download location, right-click on it and select run as administrator.For further assistance, I suggest you to contact the Publisher of the game.

1. don't you make recent changes?
2. This does happen with any special updates or all updates?
