I can't open any .exe (including regedit.exe) file - if I try to open any program, I gives me an error that the application is not found.

I can not open all .exe files, including regedit.exe cited as a means to correct this type of error.  If I try to open any program gives me an error that there are no application or the 'Open with' window opens asking me to choose my program.  However, I can open the Word Document, although if I try to click on any shortcut to Microsoft Word it says application is not found.

I had a virus on my PC and used Malwarebytes to remove it.  The deletion was successful, but he seems to have created this new problem.  I don't know if it is directly related to the kidnapping, or whether the virus changed anything while he was active?

Thanks for your help.  :)

Your ".exe" file association is probably damaged.
To fix it, follow the instructions on this page for the attachment of .exe file associations.  Be sure to read the note at the top of the page specifically about the special considerations to fix .exe associations.

  • When I look for a file in Win Explorer, I get a list of files in the search results. But some of the files seem to be missing. I get a message that the directory is not found when I try to open the search results.

    I wonder if what's on my hard drive and if what Win Explorer is on my hard drive are two different things.

    If I do a search in Win Explorer to "purple", I get a number of results.
    (To search for a file, I am in the word "Purple" in the search field in the upper right Win Explorer and pressing the "Enter" button).

    There are a couple of JPG files that I wonder about the search results.
    One example is called "purple_flowers.jpg".
    When I double-click this file in the search results to open it, my paint program opens and gives me a message that the directory is not found. If I use MS Paint to try and open it by double-clicking on the file and selecting "open with...". MS Paint", I get a message that the directory is not valid.

    The location of the directory on the error message is the blue 'Images' folder for my user. But, when I opened this file, I don't have a file with that name in this directory. The same thing happens with another JPG file, called "octopus.jpg" when I search the word 'Octopus '.

    Is this something messed up between what I have on my hard drive and think what Win Explorer is on my hard drive?
    How can I fix?
    Something must be reset in Win Explorer?

    I could have the JPG files with these names at the same time. I had a large library of images for a project, but I deleted it.
    (I tried to turn on the option to show hidden files in this directory, but that did not help).

    Imane:

    I thank very you much for that answer.
    But it seems to have stumbled on the solution:

    Strangely, this worked:

    (Maybe you know why).

    I moved the files in my blue images folder in another folder, delete the folder images blue, emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted my computer.
     
    When my computer has finished its startup routines, my folder of photos blue was there! And he had the shortcut to the folder 'Sample Pictures' inside.
     
    When I searched "the Octopus" and "purple", I no longer saw these JPG files in the search results.
     
    I don't really know what happened, but I thought that after these results just in case someone else knows this.

    I'll read and watch in your information. I don't want to know more about what is happening in my computer.

    Hello m.velentino,

    Not sure if you are still having the error message isn't valid win32.applicaiton.

    Get the error: not a valid 32-bit application can have several origins:
    I have listed some of them below.

    The file is corrupted, bad or missing.
    -If the hard disk is damaged or hurt it cause work programs to fail, either because not all data can be read from the hard drive the program is damaged on the drive. Run scandisk and defrag on the hard disk to check for potential errors.
    -If you run the program from a shortcut on the computer, verify that the program is still on the computer. In some cases if the program is no longer installed on the computer, you can get this error.

    File is not designed for your version of Windows:
    -If you try to run a program that is not designed for your version of Windows, you can get this error.
    -Although many old programs designed to work in older versions of Windows will work with new versions of Windows, unfortunately, not all programs will not work.
    -If the program is an MS-DOS program more former start program or Windows, you can get this error.
    -If the program is designed for a 64-bit version of Windows and you are running in a 32-bit version of Windows, it will not work and generate this error.

    File is a virus, worm or other malicious program file.
    -
    This error can be generated by a file that is a virus, worm, Trojan horse or other type of malware file. Often, this will result because the antivirus installed on the computer will not allow the file to install or run. Try to analyze the file to check, it is not a virus or infected.
    -If the file has been checked and is clean, it is always possible that the virus protection program or a another program installed on the computer is at the origin of questions during installation or execution of the program. Start the computer in Mode safe and try to run the program. start the computer in Mode safe will be that nothing is running in the background that could cause this problem.

    Hardware incompatibility.

    -If you get this error during the installation of a program, it is also possible that the CD-ROM drive or the drive that you are installing the program from is not compatible with Windows or has drivers that are not compatible with Windows.
    -Download the latest drivers for your CD player or other of the manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of the equipment. (Microsoft does not pilot for other materials)

  • C:\Windows\System32\Rundll32.exe, the Application is not found. (executable files does not either.)

    I recently had just some malware on my Vista saying that it was infected and that it had been hijacked, but I just ignored and finally got rid of him, but now that I managed to get rid of it none of my executables will be run and the touchpad scroll my mouse touch (I have a laptop) now no longer works.  And I can't access settings of the mouse because whenever I try an error pops up saying that the Rundll32.exe is missing.  In any case, the malicious software that I've been having troubled by claimed to be Vista (don't remember if the next word was security or anti-virus) - but it was called Vista? 2010, Vista Security 2010 thing.  However, I can never remember install such a file, and I don't have no automatic updates so if I got something like that Microsoft it would at least go back to 2009, if not 2008.

    You obviously put a lot of work into this response, but the OP will not be able to run any executable at this stage and your malware removal steps are incorrect. The only part you're right was that the OP has been infected by a rogue security program (not ' red').

    For "spread anonymously:

    First use Doug Knox fix for .exe association:

    Then follow the steps below to make sure that the computer is clean:

    These can work for you, and all can be good. However, in many cases the computer will also infected with other horses of Trojan and protected by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean. If your machine is one of these cases, either the interactive assistance to one of the specialty forums listed in the link below, OR take your machine to a professional on the local computer OR backup your data and do a clean install of Windows. It's your choice. I do not recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of places.

    I'd appreciate any help.

    Denge75 looks like there is an incorrect entry in your registry for Photoshop Lightroom.  I recommend you to uninstall Lightroom 5.3.  One times removed, then please also use Microsoft Fixit to solve the problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled to remove all entries for Photoshop Lightroom renaming.

    You should then be able to download and install Lightroom 5.5 directly from Adobe - Lightroom: for Windows.

  • I can not even open FF because the profile is not found, even after using the profile in order to create a new profile.

    I've recently upgraded to version 40 39.0.3. The first upgrade was not so I removed FF using the control panel (uninstall program). I reinstalled again, but I got the messages that FF was already running, etc. as other users have noticed. I open profiles (Open firefox.exe - p) and tried to open FF with the "default" profile that did not work. I created a new profile ("defaultuser") and FF open. (I have the box checked to use the new profile on startup). I have created FF as I wanted it, and then exit. When I started later FF, the profile is not found. The profile did not have the "defaultuser" profile, does not open with the "default" profile, but would a new profile must be created and FF to open and run. Quit FF and reopen produces the same sequence (profile not found, etc.) I uninstalled 40 and reinstalled version 39.0.3 and I have the same problems with this version (39.0.3), plus he's starting the upgrade to version 40, and soon as I complete the installation again. I uninstalled the 39.0.3/40 version and reinstalled 40 using the Profiles page to write this question.

    I removed the version FF 40 using the Panel of control/uninstall. I deleted all the files that have been "* firefox *" and "* mozilla * ' (and there are some). I rebooted, and then reinstalled FF version 39.0.3. I could we FF immediately (without having to create a new profile). I have not had any problems with a bad certificate of Google, Yahoo, etc.. I went to all the web sites open very well. I could restart, then restart FF several times without problems or issues of certificate. Meanwhile, I made no changes to Kaspersky, and as far as I know, Kaspersky works as he usually does. I am almost sure that FF 40 version has a certificate problem that I can't fix. I'm less sure if the original upgrade to version FF 39.0.3 to 40.0.0 (then 40.0.2) played a role in my profile questions. Regardless, I have a version of FF that works and auto-updated to FF is off (and it will remain like that until I gather a few of this blog and other insurance which emits 40 FF are ironed out). I appreciate the help that you (and jscher200 in another thread) has attempted to provide. While the issues are not fixed, the thread can be closed.
