Do any work or just certain ones don't work? What operating system are you running?

windows 7 operating system.

Because anti-virus programs and anti-malware programs are not that good, as I keep telling everybody. But it could also be that your hard drive is breaking down or Windows isn't working properly. Hopefully you have backed up everything because it might come to a re-install of Windows. First though try a restore to an earlier time if you can.

when i run malwarebytes.then its not starting.in task manager its process is running b ut its gui is not appearing onscreen.

my laptop is not restarting in safe mode though i repeatedly click f8.restore points are also not working.

But do any exe files work? Can you open a web browser? If no exe files open then its a file association issue, if only some don't open then its something else.

Try downloading one of these files to see if its a true file association error.

In my opinion, you should back up your data and reinstall windows fresh. Seems you have some major corruption somewhere. Have you tried running sfc /scannow to check for file corruption?

ok i run sfc /scannow.i will report to you after some time.

i run sfc/scannow but its not working.i mean exe files are not running.wait i am reading your lenghty microsoft article.

command prompt is also not opening.

Then you need to back up any personal data and reinstall windows, you have some major corruption.

 

[joosk]

earlier you told me to download and run fixexec file.i downloaded it and ran it.but nothing happens.exe file is not running.

 

[johnb35]

Try the .com extension file.

If it still don't work, then just reinstall windows. You'll be back up and running quicker then trying to figure it out.

 

[joosk]

ok.

.com extension file is also not running/working.

lock this.
