• Unable to run .exe files without using runas:administrator

  Original title: Windows Script Profiler?

  I recently had a virus on my computer, and it's file, he decided to corrupt. So, naturally, the antivirus got rid of him. Apparently, it was a pretty important, because now shortcuts to executables do work if I run as administrator (otherwise, I must point out the path for the time of EACH shortcut manually) and pitchers for the games that open several executables for the open game (EX: LOTRO) do any work.

  Is there a way I could get this file? (yes I tried the system restore: it did not work)

• Unable to run .exe files - windows for the application to launch guests

  When I try to launch a .exe, or .cmd file, Windows prompts you to wonder what application should I use to start the program. This happens on a single user profile on the machine, not the others. How can I fix this profile?

  Background:
  My child has apparently infected the computer. Whenever I started IE, two things happened:
  1. I have tons of warning messages that the computer has been infected
  2. I had the Vista "you want to run...?" question for the c:\users\tanya\app data\local\av.exe file

  I disconnected and logged on as an account administrator and then deleted the av.exe file. I have connected as a user infected, launched IE. Guests at the stop, but now I'm invited by Windows to how launch (apparently part of the java runtime) ssvagent.exe - since everything that I try to launch with a .exe or .cmd, or .com extension gives me a quick for applications to launch in. I suspect that the virus, the installation itself, not connected all the stuff.

  Then... How to hang it to the top? Advice?

  Here's the question. Recently, I've been hit with malware any who try to act as a protection program. XP Security 2010 I think, this is how it's called. I have finally come down and get to run in normal mode, but when I try to do anything, including the internet, he asks me what he wants me to open with (providing a nice list of ol ' of programs such as photoshop, illustrator, etc.)

  I can't run anything, I can't go in safe mode, nothing. Help would be loved.

• Unable to run .exe files during the installation of new software.

  I can't install new programs because my system asking you what program use and my internet explore doesn't open automatically however my knowledge is on my desk and works very well.

  Looks like your Windows file associations have to dispose. This means that XP doesn't know what to do with files by looking at the file extension (.exe for executables)., .doc for MS documents, etc.

  If you don't have it you, something done for you - most likely malware.

• Why run exe file run more slowly than vi format when we build application exe?

  Jin

  We build the file vi drifter but exe file to run slower than the file vi. I check several vi and get the same result, which is slow, why?

  Thank you.

  The executable runs on the same PC that you have developed it, or on another PC when it is running slowly?  (Thinking that if it's on another PC, it hangs on errors for things that cannot be installed on the 2nd PC.)

  Where is the current slowdown?  Is it possible to have errors that happen that you do not see (as in the communication of the database) and which is at the origin of things run slowly because of time-out errors occur?

  I recommend you build your VI with a code debugging in it.  As indicators to show which are the son of the error.  Maybe create a simple Subvi who will save a timestamp and a description to a file and that scatter around your code, then you can connect at run time.

  Hello JohnDeCastro,

  Thank you for posting.

  Ppl repeatedly face problems when opening. EXE files.

  • The EXE file opens in Notepad.
  • EXE file opens in a few other installed programs.
  • Windows displays the 'Open with' dialog box to select the program.
  • Windows displays the error message "Windows cannot find .exe file. Make sure you typed the name correctly.

  Most of the time it happens when you accidentally replace. Type of exe to Folder Options settings. Sometimes, it can happen due to the virus.

  In any case no need to worry. Here's a solution that will fix this annoying problem:

  1. open RUN command prompt by typing the command in the dialog box.

  2 provide now following command:

  cd\windows

  3 it will activate the Windows folder. Now provide following command to open the Registry Editor:

  Regedit

  4 now goto following key:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe

  In the right pane, change the value of default elements exefile key

  5 now goto:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Exefile\Shell\Open\Command

  In the right pane, change the value of the default key to:

  "%1" %*

  6 that's it. Now, quit the registry editor and restart your Windows. Now you should be able to open EXE files without any problem.

  Please let me know if this helps you.
