Windows XP does not have exe files

My computer has been infected by a virus that exceeded AVG 9.
I removed the virus using Malwarebytes but after deleting Windows does not recognize exe files more.
I tried to restore to a point before the infection, but I had recently cleaned up but a restore point and virus was present after the restoration.
I also checked the registry and checked all the entries associated with the exe files and found no errors... Suggestions that don't involve wiping the entire hard drive?  I really want to do it AGAIN... It would be the second time in a year.

This is a popular remedy for this condition:

  • the button new folder does not have System File Checker says no breach of integrity

    Mem of Windows 7 64 bit, Sony VAIO, 8 GB, the latest journals to install checked no found error. Keyboard shortcut for the new folder does not work, but good ciick new-folder is there and works. Said it was problem-no hard drive problems, File Checker said no violations. Did usual defrg, reg cleaner, virus scans, etc. New folder button Windows Explorer stopped working after I upgraded my backup of instant backup software Memeo Memeo Backup Premium. When I return at the moment (the button) works when I uninstall Instant, it works, but when I insall Premium button no longer works. Explore premium a integration of windows and instant does not work. I say that the problem is because of this, but of coarse Memeo said it's a hard drive issue or microsofts problem. No hard drive problem, it's almost all scanned and new directions. The registry is scanned. I played in windows since 3.0.Granted I'm not a programmer, but I put togeather computers (all Windows Basic) since the 1980s. Did do a little programming for timex sinclair Boy I'm giving my age :) away  I solved just a poblem resolved not technicians at Sony. They told me that my only option was to restore my computer to factory State and again UGH!  Found the problem of sony, a former .exe file which does not have ugraded when needed, the deleted files and the sony program now works fine!  If the ideas on my "new folder button?

    Found the answer! It was just like I thought Memeo Backup Premium has a subprogramme called backup that he mixes with the Explorer of Windows 7, uninstalled this (backup) and the new record button works again. Memeo people had me uninstall the rest of the software and gave me a link to download the software less backup. Now, I'm trying to find out if I will return my money or a fixed copy. No answer yet! But I don't think they work on Friday, so I'll have to wait beyond Monday to see if they're going to answer me. I tracked their problem they should pay me ;)

  • XP does not have my file (.exe)

    My window XP will not run an .exe file. He asked if I want to run it, but when I clicked on Yes, it did nothing. Looks like there's something blocking to run.

    • I have download a new copy or copy (with the help of a USB key for example) the computer of your brother that you know you have a good copy.
    • Reset.
    • Make sure that you are logged in as system administrator.

    • Reset.
    • Make sure that you are logged in as system administrator.
    • What service pack have installed you on the system?  TomTomHOME requires the most recent (SP3 for Windows XP.)  If you do not have the last, correct it and restart and reconnect as a system administrator.  If you do not have SP3 - continue...
    • Then, double-click the file.
    • If you see nothing - open the "task manager" and list the processes running - see if it is listed.

  • Windows Explorer does not display the file or files with fix = folder

    A few days ago I noticed that I have some files seemed not be included in the records, I have worked with. After some fiddling, I find that I can see all the files in a folder if 'fix' (at the top right of the display of the files) is set to "name". Usually the value by default in "folder" but whose value fix folder the subfolders and their content is invisible.

    With fix the name value, I moved some files to another folder and they turned upward correctly. But when I then moved this folder in the folder where I had taken the files and set fix it to the folder again the folder and its files have disappeared.

    I had recently downloaded both Dropbox and Google so I removed the and pulled out another who was supposed to repair/update drivers that I had a problem with many (e.g. printer) drivers disappear just before Christmas. Does not see how this can be related unless there is also a malware somewhere on my computer. I have Norton 360 update and run Windows Defender when he invites me.

    The only other recent change (after the loss of the pilot) was to download all the Windows updates current, even if not necessary.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit. Windows is up to date.

    Right-click on the folder and click Properties,

    Is there a Unlock button on the general section?

    If not,

    Check the hidden box and click on apply.

    This will set all the folders and files as hidden.

    Now to clear the hidden check box, click on apply again.

    This will remove the attribute hidden folders and files,

    Finally click OK and apply and OK your way out.

    At worst, check with your user account permissions.

    1 did you changes to the computer before this problem?
    2 are connected to the system as an administrator?
    3 is the specific issue confined to a .exe file?
    4. are you able to open other files successfully?

    Method 1: Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the link step 3 to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Check if a virus is the cause of the problem.

    Method 2: Run a virus online scan to check if any infected virus at the source of the problem.


    Run Microsoft Online Scanner.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have other problems with Windows in the future.

  • XP host does not have any file that begins with "VM".

    Problem of crazy that I can't understand.  Under XP Pro SP3 on a desktop computer and try to install VMPlayer 3.01.  If I try to run the file that I downloaded I get a warning that "this application has failed to start because the application configuration is incomplete.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. "This exact file installs without problem on my XP Pro laptop.

    Here are the best, if I rename the file, so it does NOT begin with "VM", it will install.  But then if I try to turn on a guest operating system, I get an error because the other files that start with "VM" are started and fail.  If I rename notepad.exe to vmnotepad.exe it will not work!

    I uninstalled VMplayer and tried again with the same results.  I even tried a few VMware cleaner utility but no change.

    Any ideas?  Thank you.

  • Need to reinstall windows, but does not have any CD - Satellite Pro L20

    Hi, I wanted to reinstall Windows XP home on my Satellite Pro L20, but do not have the software that my laptop came with (read the discs lost). I have a valid XP tone (like its stuck on the bottom of my laptop), but no disc so I tired using a copy of a cd of Windows XP home, which did not work, but let me go as far as the formatting of the hard drive.

    So now I use Ubuntu, but want to reinstall Windows. Have valid product key, but no software to reinstall.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Christopher

    Valid key will not help you. This key belongs to the image recovery and copy included WXP he.
    If you have two options. Either you order original Toshiba recovery image or use Microsoft installations CD key which belongs to this copy. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.
