Programs Stopped Working as Soon as they are started
Problems: some programs cannot be run, stopped working as soon as it is opened
I came to recognize my problem when McAfee pops up to check database update, but when I click "Check Now" it stopped working. After that I tried numerous times after a few restart tries.
Even in my attempt to uninstall McAfee, the McAfee host UI has stopped working.
Then I came to realise that its not McAfee's thing, other programs are also affected namely Yahoo Messenger, Skype (MSN), Microsoft Windows Repair Disc.
(Browsers are working fine)
What I have done:
Bad thing: I don't have any restore point that I can use.
Some friend told me to try System File Checker & Repair Install.
The latter I have not done because it seems more complicated & I don't have any Windows CD (This notebook came already installed with it)
I did try System File Checker (cmd sfc /scannow as admin), but the result says:
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
I don't think I have changed anything in recent times, except there are some windows update going on:
(also have iTunes & iCloud thing update to the latest version)

Verdict:
I am considering to do repair install. But not sure which one should I download from here. (I don't know the difference among Home Premium 64bit Media Refresh, the old one, & RTM)
Version of my Windows: 6.1.7601 SP1 Build 7601
If anyone willing to attend my problem would be more than welcomed & I really appreciate that.
