Windows XP Pro with SP2 not running applications


Recommended Posts

I have a Toshiba A70 laptop running WinXP SP2.

When the laptop was turned on last no programs world run from the start

menu or from the shortcut bar.

Also applications will not run when run from their directory on the hard

drive. CMD.exe also does not run as will anything else started from the

run prompt.

when programs are run the open dialog comes up asking what to open the

program with.

 

I have run AVG on the hard drive with no virii found and AVG will still

run its scheduled testing.

 

All help would be appreciated

Try MVP Doug Knox's EXE file association fix.
