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?

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.

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)

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.

All .exe files go to the Download Manager and ask if you want to run or save
Suddenly my pc win 7 cannot run .exe files. When it starts, I get several windows asking me if I want to run or save each of the boot files. When I click on an icon for an application, I get the same thing. If I click on for example a Word document file, Word opens very well, but I can't not all .exe files to run directly. Even if I go to the Task Manager and click on "new task" and try and invoke Notepad - for example "do you want to run or save. Even if I go to the control panel and ask search and solve problems - "do you want to run or save rundll32.exe"... Ditto for chkdsk and even for antivirus scanners or malicious software. All the solutions I can find here seem to imply somehow running a .exe program to diagnose / fix and that's exactly what I can't do. If you click on "run" in the download dialog there is an attempt to open a window, and then you're right to "do you want to run or save" the same .exe program. Programs that save files still work all their saved files, it seems a simpler problem rather than a massive corruption. Yet Labour Office associations, such as the 'open with' for example image files. Any ideas before you give up and reinstall Windows? Thank you very much!
Any ideas before you give up and reinstall Windows?
-> A a more effective and less painful method would go like this:
1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
2. select Repair from the menu.
3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.

5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred. -

You are able to use your applications without problem?To check what is causing the problem, try the following steps:
1:NTVDM method is bound to display drivers for nVidia.I suggest you to update display drivers on the manufacturer's Web site
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly
Method 2: Clean boot
Put the computer in a clean boot (namely if any third-party software hinders the process)
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135Check with step 1 (run a clean boot):-If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.
Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.Note: After you find the program causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program and also don't forget to put the computer to a normal startup.
3:Disable method and then check the firewall/security software on the system tray.
Note: Activate the security software after the test -

I have recently installed Windows 10 free update. Now I am unable to delete .pdf files and get the invalid error message "Function MS-DOS." It has never been a problem with the previous Windows 8.1. I contacted Microsoft technical support and they told me there is a problem with the .pdf application and I need to contact Adobe Acrobat. This can be corrected?

I use WIndows XP. After that THINKPOINT is presented on my system, I have not been able to access my task manager or restore my system to an earlier date.
I have checked Kellys Korner and various other suggestions on the internet, but have had no luck with anything.
It shows that the HKEY value for the Task Manager is set to 0. Don't know if that helps.
I BELIEVE I have the THINK POINT removed from my system. I use Microsoft Security, Ad-Ware and Malwarebytes Anti - Malware. Between the 3, it seems I have everything.
But now I can not restore my system, or use my TASK MANAGER.
Help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you!

Think like a malicious software...It infects your system and is not to be found and removed.What are you most likely to use to find and remove malware?Internet, Google, Task Manager, regedit, restore the system command prompt, etc...The malware is often afflicts one or more of these components to try to trick into thinking you need to perform a system restore, a repair facility, or even to reinstall your XP from scratch. None of these things are necessary since you can usually just to thwart malware.If the referenced files are completely absent from your system, you will see messages like this when you try to run the applications:Taskmgr.exe - Unable to locate componentThis application has failed to start because VDMDBG.dll is not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.Rstrui.exe - Unable to locate componentThis application has failed to start because framedyn.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.Sometimes you can click through the OK messages to access the System Restore screen, but the restoration of the system is still broken.If the referenced files are present on the system, but somehow corrupted, you will see messages like this when you try to run the applications:Taskmgr.exe - bad ImageThe application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\VDMDBG.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.Rstrui.exe - bad ImageThe application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\framedyn.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.Sometimes you can click through the OK messages to access the System Restore screen, but the restoration of the system is still broken.These files are part of the file 3498 who cares about Windows File Protection, so unless the WFP is also broken it is likely that files are missing completely (you get a different error message). What is more likely is that the files are somehow corrupt or have been replaced by incorrect files.Assuming that XP is installed on your C drive and in the windows folder, XP keeps copies of 3498 files that he cares about this issue:c:\Windows\System32\dllcacheOn a health care system, Windows File Protection keeps track of 3498 protected files and quickly and quietly replaces all the files in the list that appears missing from the backup folder. File protection Windows will not replace the files if they are somehow corrupted or replaced by bad files.You can simply copy the backup files in the dllcache folder in the folder where are the suspects or missing files.Using Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32\dllcache and individually to copy the backup files in there and then navigate the folders where the suspect or incorrect files are and paste in the copied files.Depending on your installation, you can also find copies of the files in this folder:c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386Answer Yes, if you are prompted to replace existing files.Test your functions now and then to reboot your system to make sure the changes 'stick', and then fix any problems.Do, or do not. There is no test.
I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

LabVIEW run engine time included in the application exe
Hi all
Back in LabVIEW 5, we could create a single LabVIEW application exe file that included the execution engine (all in a single exe file). Now, we must install the runtime engine in its own right + the LabVIEW application exe. I don't think that someone knows a way to create LabVIEW application exe files which include the execution engine in new versions of LabVIEW.
I know that we can install the runtime automatically during the installation of the LabVIEW application.
I know also it makes more sense to have the execution time separate from the application of updates etc, but in some cases its nice just have a program obviously installed on the system - the application of interest.
Any soloutions neat known?
-Martin
The time of applications from a single file is long gone. The current LabVIEW runtime engine is a great combination of many files, including DLLs, interface model files user etc. It is not always necessary, but even the most trivial LabVIEW application today takes several tens of these files at startup even. That's how things have changed, and although there are indeed efforts to get apps to run from one place to put them on a USB key for example, LabVIEW is not really a system that lends itself to this. In LabVIEW 7.1 and 8.0, you could include virtually all of the files that make up the runtime system in the same folder as your executable file, no NOR never argued that neither they will probably move to make. With some trial and error, you can start deleting files and see if your app still worked then, but it's a tricky procedure since the application could often start very well, but suddenly encounter display problems if you have opened a subscreen or something with this subject-specific objects.
You can probably try to simply copy all the files from the LabVIEW Runtime folder in your executable file and there is a chance that it still works, but what for? The size of the facility remains basically the same and if you happen to install both applications on the same computer, each contains a copy of all of the runtime system, so there is no gain more but in fact a setback.
The interdependencies of these modules are complicated and some need additional components and registry settings to work properly. By offering a way to configure individually that you want to include, and what would be a total pita for the end user that nobody would really understand what is needed for what and why. Experience would be so especially try it doesn't work once, and never use it again.
I never thought to look into this latest version of LabVIEW. Time to figure it all out is simply average too much punishment for the small gains you get. Installers are the norm these days.
Another issue that followed, is that you need to monitor all the Security Advisory reports NOR and other bugfixes and act on them yourself whenever a component that you have added in your application must be updated. As it is now, the NI Updater can and will update the plant installed according to enforcement system and all is well.
