It still doesn't work guys, if you have any other suggestions feel free, but I'm beginning to think it's the files themselves.

 

[d00p98uy]

hmm, do you still get the error after renewing the file association, or do you get a differant error, or no error at all?

 

[Decertilation]

I basically got no errors at all except "*** Has stopped responding, windows is searching for a solution"

 

[d00p98uy]

let that continue and see if it finds anything, or have you already tried that?

 

[Decertilation]

Well, my troubleshooting doesn't work, so I've assumed this doesn't work either, because it never finds anything.

hmm, download rougekiller, and run a scan with it (if you can) DO NOT CLEAN THE FILES IT FINDS. then post the log it creates by clicking the report section
RogueKiller Download

Decertilation I have read your posted logs; that is a bunch of junk.
If it was my computer I would run AdwCleaner again and remove all that junk.
I suggest also doing a complete updated scan with your anti virus and then I would do this if it was my computer.

Free Virus Scan | Online Virus Scanner from ESET

Trying to fix a computer with problems like you are having must start with a clean (no infections or PUP's) computer.

 

[d00p98uy]

yeah, do another scan with ADWCleaner, and follow Bears advice after I look at rougeKiller

If nothing works, I think your only choice is to do a clean install of Windows. Try running sfc /examine.

After that, try restarting and see if the problem is solved. Please tell me what cmd shows while running the command.

Decertilation Look at your post #8 and compare with mine.



In my opinion you don't need all those things in Startup.

Blocked?

If you check the Properties of a file that doesn't run, does it have the option to "Unblock" it at the bottom of the window?
