• 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.
  4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.

• Error message "Windows cannot open this file" for all .exe files.

  I have talked with agents of cat and directly by e-mail to a person called Betty to and followed the steps all the recommended without correcting this problem. I can only run a .exe file in a folder. Any attempt to run an exe from Windows XP - Pro results in a box with the above mentioned error. He also said "to open this file, Windows needs to know what kind of program created." It is now more than a month to get this resolved. It only allows me to easily perform some maintenance and even investigations when necessary. This is the only problem I have with my system. I used AVG 2011 to clean my system to any virus or Trojan horse, and he pointed out that there is no intrusion. This sounds like there should be a simple solution because nothing else is affected. I am very frustrated not to find a solution after such a long time.

  If you are sure that your system is clean of any virus and you have tried the steps mentioned to restore registry and still not be able to open any exe file you can try the method below:
