May no longer work. EXE files after cleaning viruses out of the system.

Original title: can I "fix" deleted files with my installation disk without rebooting the entire system?

I got a microsoft employee 'Help me' at a distance with a virus that I had, and it accidentally DELETED all my .exe files in my registry. Is it possible for me to "fix" with my installation cd without having to restart the entire system? I don't want to lose all my documents and programs that I have installed now.  I have a Machine with a Windows XP Home edition cd E.  I called Microsoft Security hotline and the guy access control my pc remotely and I messed up. I just want to know if I can boot with the cd in and fix what is wrong, WITHOUT having to lose all my stuff that I have on here. If I disable this option, or to get offline at the moment, I won't be able to return. Nothing works... such as help and Suport Center, more things in my Start menu... because they are all Gerry .exe files you still there?

Here how to recreate the exe file associations in the registry

  • Code signing is no longer works, JAD file not produced when signed manually

    Hello!

    For some reason, Code signing all of a sudden no longer does anything when selected in the IDE.

    I used the 4.2.1 IDE

    I am now using IDE 4.6.0

    The problem started when I was with IDE 4.2.1 - just out of the blue, code signing would be does not work AT ALL.

    Using the new IDE 4.6.0 now I can manually start code signing and get a signed end COD file, but no JAD file is produced - which is essential for the facilities of the OTA.

    How to make it works again right?

    While a review once more, I found a single entry in the project properties to "always active project", selected and now it generates the JAD file and the signature tool appears correctly.  Manually, select the project as being active does not work.  Maybe it's a bug.

    BlackBerry JDE 4.6.0.12

    in any case, THANKS!   This is all to work once more!  I breathe a sigh of relief here!

  • After the latest updates from Microsoft, my Internet Backgammon supplied with Windows 7 no longer works. It is a dead link and the game opens same. That's happened?

    I like to play trump stings on Internet and Internet Backgammon that's installed with Windows 7, Home Premium edition.  However, after the automatic updates installed yesterday, I noticed that the link to play the Internet Backgammon is no longer works.  It's just a dead link.  I can click on it, but nothing happens.  Not even an ounce of trying to open.  It's just 'died '.  I can still play trump stings on the Internet and I have no trouble to access the internet, so I wonder if this is just a small problem or do you have Microsoft remove Internet Backgammon as one of its windows games?  Note, this is Internet Backgammon that is installed on the computer, in the folder games - it is NOT the version of backgammon on MSN that you actually go to the internet and to play.  I am referring to the one in the Games folder, which is installed with Windows 7.  I play this game almost every day, so I hope that it will be restored.  I wish there was a way to contact Microsoft about this, but there isn't and they charge, then...

  • .exe files are not open; affected by the Windows Security Center of lazy virus

    Hello!

    As the title indicates, none of my executables will open his; on the contrary, when I click on an icon or similar function (as in the start menu), I'm inclined to the screen 'open with... ». I noticed that most often, if I run the program as administrator, it is likely to work without having to manually find the file - still a bit tedious however.

    I'm assuming that since I was recently hit by the virus which is a fake Windows Security Center, something my registry has also been hit (take into account the fact that I'm not savvy computer in the slightest). It happened on my user account initial and rather than take action on the right, then, I decided that I would use the other account that I had to install a program better anti-virus (Norton provided ISP) than the one I had been using (the two admin). At that point, I had finished all my activity moved to the new account and it worked very well until the virus had one possessing this account as well - delete on the first user account seemed to have deleted only the effects of my account but still affected everything I did after that. This time, I went and deleted all accounts and checked to ensure that it is not at all. After getting rid of the virus, it's the same thing: none of my .exe files will open without using the monitor "open with...". ». I'm not really sure what action to take from here, I have not done much to remedy the situation, and I'm going right through the screen of "open with...". "to get to what whatever - so any suggestions or help would be very appreciated.

    Keypoints:

    • .exe files are not open (However, in some cases, the "Run as Administrator" option overrides it)
    • recently hit with (deleted) and fake Windows Security Center virus ; That's when the .exe is no longer
    • is not much in terms of addressing this problem, do not know what to do with regard to the question of if my situation calls for something specific

    I tried to cover everything that seemed important to address; However, if there is more need information, let me know. I am about average in terms of computer navigation and therefore my understanding of what many of these commands, functions and files is a bit Basic.

    Thank you! :)

  • 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!

  • Programmatically move EXE file to RT-target and change the INI to start the EXE when restarting. Then the target restart RT.

    I'm trying to:

    1. download the rtexe on the target in real time
    2. download the file or - rt.ini of the RT target on the local disk
    3. change the RTApp.StartupApplication path to POINT to newly downloaded rtexe
    4. download the ini file edited to target RT
    5 reset
    6. the new rtexe should start to run

    When manually deploy the application of RT through the Project Explorer and manually restart the target RT works very well.

    However if I follow the steps above using the attached VI, to restart it does not start the EXE and loses the connection with the RT.

    When I try to reconnect, he said:

    "Errors were detected in the log of the target when connecting to the target:

    LabVIEW: (Hex 0x63B) target the RT has not enough memory to load the startup application. »

    Now why is there enough memory when the EXE is deployed through the Project Explorer, but not enough when the EXE file is moved manually?

    If there is an easier process or to achieve this goal, please suggest.

    Thank you

    Problem solved.  Problem was never in the INI file.

    Apparently using FTP "FTP Store Multiple.vi" used to move the file EXE to the rt to intimidate target must change the file somehow. Instead I just use the FTP "Put several files.vi" and everything works fine.
