My computer won't open .exe or install most things downloaded.
Hello everyone.
I've been googling and googling ang googling about this issue since I got this computer, I cannot for the life of me fix it, and I am about to go pay a man down the road to fix it because to me, it is a hardware issue, but I am exhausting all options before I have to go and spend even more money.
I bought a computer online, I wont say the store as the owner is literally insane, but he insists what I am experiencing is a software issue, and therefore won't help (I've had the computer two weeks at time of writing) so please can someone help me! I'm incredibly frustrated.
When I first got the computer I went and did what anyone would do - I installed chrome and went off to look for anti viruses.
Download AVG - click install - nothing happens. No error. Just nothing.
Same with Avast.
Obviously, I have managed to install chrome, but nothing else will install.
Updates will install, but only after a lot of restarting and errors.
I have done a recovery when I first uncounted these problems, and then two clean installs since to see if it would help.
I am still having the same issues and I would appreciate any troubleshooting people can offer.
I have checked my router firmware is up to date, I have reinstalled registry files even though I know this will make no difference. I've enabled and then disabled every windows firewall I can find & UAC.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
It seems to be trouble with .exe files. Do I need to go out and buy a new harddrive? Someone please tell me I dont!
