I got rid of the Vista Security virus, now I can't open any .exe file and DOS commands do not the case.
I used a program to blow this stupid fake virus Vista Security that's happened here. Subsequently, I can't open any .exe files. If I open a file saved in this format (for example, a Microsoft Word file recorded) will be open, but not all of the original programs themselves. I can't do a system restore because it's a .exe. The DOS commands, including the .com-style those don't work either! Help please!

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.'Windows XP file Association problems'

I transferred files using a windows vista belkin easy transfer cable to windows 7
* original title - I moved from my old laptop to my new files but can't open them as they say that they are not supported. Some files that I can open it but its just gibberish. Any suggestions would be appreciated.*
Hello
You must have the program, the files were written in vista installed in windows 7 to read
you do not have file extensions
read this
You must have the program installed to be able to read the files of programs
for example, if it's a .doc file, you installed Word
.xls, you need Excel
. PPS, you need Powerpoint
etc.
but fortunately, there are FREE viewers provided by Microsoft for the file extensions above which will save you having to buy Microsoft Office
Here are the download links for free Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint viewers:
Word Viewer
View, print and copy Word documents, even if you don't have Word installed. This download is a replacement for Word Viewer 2003 and all previous Word Viewer versions.
Excel Viewer
Open, view, and print Excel workbooks, even if you don't have Excel installed. This download is a replacement for Excel Viewer 97 and all previous Excel Viewer versions.
PowerPoint 2007 Viewer
Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 Viewer allows you to view the presentations of all the features created in PowerPoint 97 and later versions.
and you can try the FREE Open Office applications game to read these file extensions
and here's how to set file associations

Cannot open any office files or icons, the Panel even not. Help!
Hello
I really need help desperately. I can't open any office files or icons. I restored to the point the closest that I can, but no difference. Cannot open the Panel even from the Start button. My compuetr crashes every time I double-click or right-click on the icon 'My Computer' or 'My Documents '.
My restore CD that was shipped with the Toshiba Satellite 1800 does not work either. Help, please! I'm really desperate!
JessWhat do you think average with "I tried with the restore CD but nothing '? Have you tried to completely format your HARD drive? I had a similar problem, but in my case it was because of the transplant of BONE... so I reinstalled the system from the beginning and it was ok.
If you can not solve this problem with the cd supplied by the factory... I think it might be a hardware problem, probably due to the HARD drive. Your HARD drive makes strange noises, like "Click - Clack"?Good bye

My subscription to creative cloud updated Photoshop the other day. My iMac is running 10.8.5. Ever since this update, I can't open a JPEG file and get a message indicating "could not complete your request because the file was not found." I'm sure it's related to the update, but how can I cancel it and get things to normal? (do not include your email)
Post edited by: Eugene Fornario title should be brief, but descriptive. No personal information in post.
Hello
Please refer to this article error: 'File not found' when opening JPEG files and try the workaround provided.

Can't open any PDF files. When I try to open Adobe Reader, it evokes a tutorial that does not open. Cannot close. duty to force a closing. Have deleted the program and reinstalled but that did not help. I'm on a PC... Windows 7.

Then, restart your computer and install the latest version that is single CD from here:
