• 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?

• 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.

  Go to this site WWW by Doug Knox:

  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, then to restart and test.

• 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.

• Unable to download .exe files

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion Notebook with Vista 32 bit SP1. My problem is that I can't download files .exe from the internet. In Firefox and Internet Explorer, the download box appears, I'm prompted to choose where the file should be saved and then nothing happens. I tried reseting IE as the Defender disablin but still no go (got this trick from HP support).

  I use a D-link DGL-4300 router and F-secure and I tried both set my computer in the demilitarized zone and allowing all the internet traffic of F-secure but ut still does not work. Another computer on the same network with XP have no problem download.

  Found a similar problem in this http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaperformance/thread/565d9f86-42cd-40a8-bb0a-819526466b7d/ thread, but that seems not solved.

  Hello Baronbengt,

  Thank you for posting.  Download of .exe files has been disabled in most internet browsers for awhile now as a protection against the evil-ware and viruses.  Download a .exe file that is not in a container (zipped or some form of compression) is likely to be something nasty to your computer.

  Please let me know if this helps you.
