Trying to open .exe files, nothing happens, even if you have selected "Run as Administrator".

Hi all

So as the title says, I am using win8, my laptop is i5 less than 1 year, my antivirus is norton, still 125 GB of free space.

The thing is, after I right click the .exe files, run as administrator and it goes to the user account control > you want to allow this program to... > Yes, then nothing happens

I just double click on the file (do not running as an administrator), nothing happened (so it wont even display of user account control)

When I tried to delete the file, it says cannot delete because the file is open

Can someone help me please?

Thank you

Original title: cannot install anything on win8

Hi Ronald,.

What is the current status of the issue? Is it resolved?

To make sure that you have not any corrupt system files, you can perform the SFC scan and check the results.

Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    Try to start your system from a "Live Linux" CD free.  This CD runs a version of Linux without installing anything on your hard drive.  To create the CD, you download a file ".iso" and feature "Burn Image" of your CD burner to create a bootable CD.  The advantage, that you win, is that Linux is a lot less strict with permissions, so you should be able to access your files and copy them to a USB device.  Some Linux Live CD are:
    Knoppix: <> http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html >
    Ubuntu: <> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/try-ubuntu-before-you-install >
    Ubuntu is actually an installation disc, so be very careful to follow the 'Try Me' instructions so that don't accidentally install you it on your hard drive.

    An another boot CD, you might try is "Hiren".  It is in fact a version of "First environment" of Windows XP, so you could get access to some files that you would otherwise not not when starting on this disc.

  • I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc. Then tried to open saved files with IE and started acting weird.

    zip files

    I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc.  Then tried to open the files saved with IE.  IE went into free fall.  ???

    I have no idea what opened the backup files when you have double-clicked, or if you will not quote you took after doing this...  However, the official way to 'Browse' the content of the backup...

    You can view the contents of your backup by opening the wizard to restore files.

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance and then click Backup and restore.

    2. Do one of the following:

      • To view your files, click Restore my files.

      • To display files all the, click on restore files for all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Do one of the following:

      • To browse the contents of the backup, click Browse for files or click Browse for folders.

        When you browse folders, you will not be able to see the files in a folder. To view individual files, use her browse for files option.

      • To search the contents of the backup, click search, type all or part of a file name, and then click search.

    If you back up to the top PC (VHD) integer then you mifght consider this trick:
    http://www.Petri.co.il/mounting-Vista-backups-using-Windows-complete-PC-Backup.htm

    According to the edition of Windows Vista that you have (and how useful, you will find the possibility to look at old versions of a given file and possibly restore), this could be useful to you:
    http://www.ShadowExplorer.com/
    (not a replacement of relief.)

    With regard to the rate of success vs. failure rate of backup - it is difficult to measure.  Indeed most of the people backs up incorrectly.  It's really * not * enough to set a backup and forget about it.  If you test ever that your backups work/glance to see if you are backing up the good thing - it's just not wise.  Although most people expect that it is essential that the backups were working properly (not a test, a real emergency) to be discovered.  Most individuals who report failures, unfortunately, fall into this category "when my aircraft crashed and I went to my backups - it turns out _ backup _ does not and never told me...» ».

    A question... If you manually create a ZIP file (not a backup) - can you still Explorer in it as a folder?

    To test... Create a folder on your desktop.  Copy some files into it - of different types.  I say COPY and not MOVE on the goal here - because you can just blow this folder and all that results from this folder later if it was all fair copies of things.

    Make a right click on this folder and choose "send to" and "compress (ZIP) file and give a name to the new 'folder '.  (It's really a file.)  On your desktop, you should have the original folder you created and copied some stuff in, and a new "folder" with the name you just gave.  If you open the 'new' folder - you should see the name of the folder that is still on the desktop and go to this folder, you should see the files.  You literally use Windows Vista to the 'discovery' inside a ZIP file as if it were a folder.
