Some .exe files do not immediately start after a double click.

Some .exe files do not immediately start after a double click. However, the CPU usage is in place and I can see the name of the image file in the Task Manager process. But when you double-clicked once again, it opens and the CPU usage is even higher. It's like running two same .exe files. I already ran Microsoft Security Essentials to remove all viruses if that's the case, but it did not help. Is there something wrong with the files?

This happens because your antivirus starts to scan the file when you try to run it. You can check by

1 disable antivirus real-time protection (note to Moderator: not recommended!) and try to run the file again
or
2. open Task Manager > go to processes (or details if it is WIndows 8) > run file > monitor processes belongs to antivirus to see if they consume the CPU power
If this is the case, it is made by antivirus normal safety measure to keep you protected.

  • .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! :)

  • Add/Remove programs and exe files does not

    My Windows XP system has developed a strange (and annoying) issue that no longer allows me to double click on the shortcuts of programs or EXE files.  When I do, I give myself a menu asks me what program I want to use to open the file, as if I was trying to open a file with an extension that is not associated with.  I set up an Intuit program for the first time. Any ideas?

    Hi Mai2011,

  • not initializing .exe files do not

    Recently my computer did a disk check when I turned it on. After that he made the check when I logged on I saw a lot of notes, saying that .exe files are not initialize correctly click OK to terminate the program. Since my internet is not working I can't use it in safe mode.

    Hello

    I recommend you perform the clean boot.
     
    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
     
    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  • Some MP3 files are not recognized by Fuze

    I have a 4 GB Fuze v1. I got this as a Christmas present and want to use it to listen to Audio and video podcasts. I updated the Firmware from V01.01.22A. My problem with him that some MP3 files will not be recognized. MP3 files are on the card of 2 GB external so I, MPT/MSC mode does not matter. For example, "NPR: CarTalk Podcast" in format mp3 will not play but "The Index Investing Show" podcast also in mp3 format will play very well. I first noticed it with downloaded mp3 files iTunes, I do not think it is an iTunes related issue because the same podcast downloaded directly from the NPR site will also fail. No idea what is the problem? Here is the link to the download of the podcast (use the button download MP3/4): http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=9911203

    I solved the problem first I used Any Audio Converter to convert MP3 to MP3 with the same audio features. The file is converted to the same sheet worked! I noticed converted file was not any ID3 tag information in the original file. After playing a bit with MP3Tag software and tags removal began, I found that the offending tag has been KIND on the value of 'Podcast '. Fuze does not recognize "Podcast" in the field of the kind so he simply ignored, rather than list it under "unknown". In my view, that it is a bug. Sansa must list the MP3 files under Tote 'Unknown' when 'Genre' tag is present, but the value does not match any of the existing tags.

  • Ho I replace the dll files and run codes such as the double-click to open

    How to replace dll files and run codes such as the double-click to open

    Hello

    1. What are the dll files you are trying to replace?

    2. Why do you want to replace the dll files?

    A dynamic library (DLL) file is an executable file that allows programs to share code and other resources to perform specific tasks. Microsoft Windows provides DLL files that contain functions and resources that allow Windows programs to work in the environment with Windows.

  • My .exe files are not open as they should after a virus removal and some do not work right.

    Here's the problem. I did a scan for viruses with AVG and deleted viruses from my computer. One of those annoying virus seems to be a program called Vista Antivirus that I had never downloaded or installed. I had a feeling that it was not good when she appeared all first. After that AVG has found to be a threat, he removed. This is where the problems started.

    After the removal of Antivirus Vista, my programs refuse to open without a right click and run as administrator. In some cases, like my WMP, the music and the Zune program, they do not work properly. Whenever I try to open a song in WMP or Zune, it won't play them or videos. Instead, as with all other programs, the 'Open with' window as if it does not recognise .exe files. So now you can see my aggravation.

    There is one more problem. After that I restart and login to my account and open the Task Manager to close unnecessary programs that I don't need or want to open, there are usually a whole list of them. However, as I did this virus removal, only a few main Basic programs that are needed to power the computer are open. Since most of those who opened before were .exe files, I can see where is the problem.

    Honestly, I'm stuck for what to do to solve this problem. I'll do a system restore and see if it works (and I hope it will be). If this isn't the case, I need little help and instructions to fix this annoying problem.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and help out me.

    -iggy

    Edit: System Restore has been a success. Is there anyway I can stop this from happening in the future?

    Hi ignite444,

    Glad to hear that the problem is solved!

    Unwanted programs or virus downloaded on the computer without the user's knowledge.

    Important Antivirus software must be updated regularly to stay effective against new viruses. Most of the antivirus software are designed to update automatically, but you can also update your software manually.
    You should also keep during the virus scan regularly.

  • .exe files does not

    I had a problem with spyware earlier today and accidentally deleted files .exe, including rundll32.exe, which is apparently needed to run everything that I need!  Using the available online programs/scans was useless, because of course ironically, an .exe file is necessary for the program works!  I made sure my .exe file is associated with 'applications' but this has not fixed anything whatsoever and I am unable to do a system restore because I don't have the .exe file to make it work.  Whenever I try to run any of these (System Restore, disk cleanup, etc.), I received the box inviting me to choose what program with which to run the file, but I have no idea what to choose.  I work on Windows XP and had not any problems, until the 'XP Internet Security 2012' appeared and I downloaded Spyware Doctor to remove it.  Please help, I'm beyond frustrated!

    This makes no sense...

    If the rundll32.exe file is missing, some things will not work and you will see a message like this for example, when you try to open the Control Panel, add / remove programs:

    Control Panel
    Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

    Cleaning disk and system restore still works fine if the rundll32.exe file is missing, because they don't use it, so it seems that your file associations are not very well.

    How can I know it?  I started in the XP Recovery Console (so Windows file protection does not run) and deleted my rundll32.exe file Express, restarted normally with the file 'disappeared' and actually tried.

    I could do this:

    Go to this site by Doug WWW:

    http://www.dougknox.com/

    On the left, click on the Win XP fixes, file Association fixed and read the instructions at the top of the page.

    Download the EXE File Association Fix on your desktop, unzip the file and apply it by following the instructions at the top of the page, and then restart and see if your system restore or disk cleanup will launch now (you must run again - just to see if the launch or not).

    No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    Restart and fix any problems.

    Also note that if the rundll32.exe file is missing in the system32 folder, running sfc/scannow will not replace it because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

    Running sfc/scannow will attempt to replace the rundll32.exe file if it is missing here the dllcache folder, but if you have a genuine XP bootable with the same Service Pack installation CD as your installed SP (most people don't), you won't get away with sfc/scannow.

    If your rundll32.exe file is really missing, I have one on my SkyDrive, you can download.

    How can I know it?  I actually tried.

    Then click on Start-> Run Type &-> Regedit-> ok.

    (1) download & last saved "aulauncher.exe". He ran & received message 'Internet necessary connectione..'.

    (2) Went to Dell support & clicked on "find my service tag. The program downloaded and ran, and seems to do nothing.

    (3) now, I ran "aulauncher.exe" and it worked fine. After downloading, it ran the file and installed the software.

    I just started "My Dell" and it verifies my computer.

    [In fact it began to download a "dsc... exe" file (49-50 MB).] I have 3G connection was very slow & I got several error messages connection. I gave 'Retry' and the installer of the picked up Dell download directly from where he had been inturrupted. Thanks to the installer of Dell, so I had to not download the entire file each time.]

    What are some common problems that arise when building stand alone applications that could be cause of my problems?
