Windows cannot find the program to open the exe file

I did the windows repair option by restarting then pressed f8 to get to come repair options. I did it to try to remove a number of problems of virus on my laptop. It seems that it has solved the problem, but now when I try to access one of my desktop icon shortcuts it indicates that windows cannot find the program to open the exe file. She does it with every shortcut. I can access the location of the program and then select open with and it will be opened in this way, but there is not and I have to select each time. Another option that works is a right-click on the icon and selecting 'start' and who will run the program properly. Other than simply double-click the icons automatically no longer works since I did this repair.

Windows Startup Repair fixed my problem, but now my desktop icons not properly opens with double-click

    After that I turned on my computer, I get this error message... "Windows cannot find C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions\Client.exe make sure you typed the name correctly and try again."

    It all started October 1, 2014, and I have no idea why.

    Hey, mark

    First have you properly uninstalled this program? He was executed at startup of Windows an incorrect uninstall may cause this error may still be registered in MSConfig to start automatically with the computer.

    Did you go to the address specified in Program Files (86) \Search Extensions to see if the file is present or not?

    With a mark of exclamtion in the middle of a yellow triangle indicates that drivers must be updated.

    Right-click on the device with the triangle, select Properties, go to the Hardware tab, select the device with a triangle next to it, select Properties again and select Update driver.

    This should solve the problem, if Windows Update can't find a driver for you, you can always go to the manufacturers website and download it there, however, if the Windows Update does not find it there ' has a chance to the manufacturers Web site may not it as well, in this case, you can open Device Manager right-click the missing material or using outdated drivers, select Properties, go to the Details tab and in the hardware id select menu drop-down property search with id, you receive information about the device and so download the drivers the most up-to-date and appropriate from other reliable sources.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. Form when you try to open pictures? Is it in Photo Viewer?
    2. What type of files you are trying to open?
    3. You are able to open the photos in the Photos App?
    4. What is the brand and model of the computer?
    5. You did changes to the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Method 1: Run the utility to search and index and check.

    a. press the Windows key + X and click on Control Panel.

    b. click on Troubleshooting.

    c. Select display all on the upper left corner.

    d. perform research and solving problems of indexing.

    Method 2: Restart the Windows Search service and check.

    (a) press Windows + R key and type "services.msc" and press ENTER.

    (b) locate the Windows Search service and right-click on it.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Remote Desktop error: the system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\ < LANG_NAME > \mstsc.exe.MUI

    Came across an interesting problem this morning. After starting my PC from various applications (OutLook 2002, Management Studio of SQL Server 2008, etc.). I was able to connect to a server by using Remote Desktop (RDP, alias). On trying to connect to a second system, I started getting the following error message:

    The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\\mstsc.exe.MUI

    Will always be connected to the server, I tried to launch a second instance using RDP, but received the same error message.

    I googled the error and found different solutions (the best solution to examine ishttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/164d1e0b-51e6-4201-9dc2-3f4a0ccb14e5), however, none of the solutions seemed to work.

    I tried checking the virus/malware, etc, but nothing was found. I tried to re - load the dll and the exe (s), but still not received the error message.

    The next solution was to try to see what can be changed on my system (new programs, etc.). I noticed there is an update downloaded to my system (C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log): AutomaticUpdates content success install successful and Restart required for the following update: update for Windows XP (KB969084)... the update is related to remote desktop.

    I rebooted the system, still not received the RDP error messages. Is I did a complete "install updates and shut down ', and then restarted my system that started working again.

    For the record, here is some information on my system:

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.091208 - 2036: Service Pack 3)

    c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe: 6.1.7600.16385

    I wanted to just post this in case someone else runs into a similar problem...

    Thank you!

    Argue for your limitations and of course they will belong. -Richard Bach, Illusions

    I have a machine with the same problem

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600

    I installed the update for Windows XP (KB969084).

    It does not, but a reboot is required because the system is running on the old dll

    MSTSC.exe works now

    Thanks for the info!

    Hello

    It seems that there are a few system files that have trouble.  One of them being mstsc.exe, I wish you find spyware or infection by the virus first, before you try the next step.  Please see the sticky thread in the security forum.  MVP offers some good advice how to remove these problems.

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistasecurity/thread/fa30853d-719a-4265-9e7b-9287567d31e3

    If everything is clean, we will try a repair installation to replace the problem files and also to ensure that other system files are good.

    The 'repair' installation (upgrade on-site) will not affect your installed programs or data.  Just make sure that you are already connected to your computer when you start the installation.  Do not boot from the DVD.

    If the installation does not start automatically when you insert the DVD, run setup.exe from your DVD player.

    • When the Setup program starts and the install now screen, click install now.
    • Note When you receive the important Get updates for installation message, click go online.
    • Click upgrade when the which type of installation you want? appears

    Please let us know if this solves the problem for you.

    I've updated my OS to Windows 7 64-bit edition of Windows 8.1 pro 64-bit, and when you try to reinstall the software and the driver for my printer HP Officejet J4580 all-in-one I get all sorts of errors. It worked perfectly on Windows 7.

    I get the most common error is: System cannot find the specified file "[path]" \hpzshl.ice_suffix.. ". exe', as well as the facility is abandoned.

    I tried a lot of solutions from the HP Web site and these forums, but my problem is still there.

    I already tried the long solution presented here:

    and

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04206080

    I even found the directory where installation has been decompressed and copied to the desktop, but the error persists.

    I need the complete software because I need to use my printer Officejet scanner, so I can't just simply print drivers.

    I need desperate help on getting this new work.

    Specifications of the computer:

    CPU: Intel Core i7 - 4820 K Quad-Core 3.70 GHz 10 MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2011

    : DDR3 memory / 1866 MHz Quad Channel 16GB (4GBx4)

    Printer: HP Officejet J4580 all-in-one; connected via USB

    OS: 8.1 Pro 64 bit Windows

    GPU: AMD Radeon R9 200 series

    I finally solved it by myself after many hours of pain.

    I clean any installation of HP from my computer using the HP Officejet software and driver removal utility:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=MP-110151-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4158&product=3645100&sw_lang=

    After the computer restarts, I moved on the desktop, the installation directory unpacked that HP printer install wizard for Windows had previously downloaded and launched.

    I deleted all files in the directory %Temp%.

    I disabled McAfee antivirus real time and Windows Deffender analysis.

    I ran the setup.exe in the installation directory in my office.

    The installation is smoothly and completed. I have already tested the printer and all features function normally.

    I hope these steps help someone with similar problems to get the software installed.
