| | Odd EXE File Issue- Not Association Fix! So I got a windows update on my windows 7 PC and after restarting it the next day I cannot run any .exe files except a few: -Solitare -Control panel -Catlyst Control Center If I try and run any other program I do not get any errors, it just does not open. I noticed that it does come up in the Processes in Task Manager but soon disappears. I attempted System Restore, and it had no effect. I've tried the .exe association fix, but that hasn't had any effect either. I tried running windows update and got: Quote: Windows Update error FFFFFFFE If you receive Windows Update error FFFFFFFE, it means that an update can't be installed because of a problem on your computer. This problem is usually caused by a malware (malicious software) infection. To prevent your computer from becoming unstable, Windows won't install the update. To solve this problem, we recommend that your reinstall Windows 7 using the Custom installation option and format the hard disk. Make sure to back up your files before you reinstall Windows 7. After the installation is complete, you can restore your files and install or reinstall an antivirus program. |

| | So it sounds like you were hit with a bad virus. Are you able to run your antivirus software? If not, try to download this on another computer, burn a cd, and run it on your infected pc... Rescue CD | PC Rescue and Repair Toolkit | AVG Worldwide |

| | What security software do you have installed? Is it or are they current and active? Worst case scenario, a complete reinstall of the OS. Best case, the security software put a clamp-down due to its expiration. |

| | You can actually boot off the rescue cd I mentioned above. If that doesn't work, an operating system reinstall may be in order. |

| | I want to make sure you realize you were downloading an .iso image, and that you have to burn an iso image correctly to make it bootable. ImgBurn is free and burns iso images: The Official ImgBurn Website |

| | Check here: Data Recovery | AVG Rescue CD | AVG Worldwide The zip file is for a usb stick, which we are not using. The rar files is also for a usb stick. You must choose the iso file, which is specifically for CDs. Then you must burn the iso with the ImgBurn program. |
