Can't Open Any Programs - Can't Get Online Or Launch .exe
Mar 28, 2012
I can't open any programs in Windows 7 from my HP laptop. I can't get online or launch .exe files. When I try to open anything, I get the spinning circle by the cursor but then nothing happens and it disappears. So it looks as though it's about to launch a program then doesn't. The IT guy at work told me to download Malwarebytes and run it but the same thing happens - I click on it and get the little spinning circle then it just goes away. And everything I read online says to download this program or that program but I can't even get online to do that. I've tried to do all of this in Safe Mode (Networking), also. Same thing - acts like it's about to launch then nothing.

AVG stopped a program DWU.EXE from loading but since then I can not launch apps via the desktop or by directly clicking them unless I right click and load as admin. All virus scans (AVG, Windows malicious virus remover tool and Ad Aware) come out clean.Do not want to reload Win7 or restore if I don't have to

My computer recently prompted me to do a virus scan and after rebooting, it erased all the files and programs on it. I read some posts stating to "unhide" all the folders in windows explorer to help the situation. That seemed to restore alot of programs, but I still can't launch certain programs off the Start Menu nor can I see their shortcut in Windows Explorer. I'm able to open files using those programs from Windows explorer, I just cant open the program itself from the Start Menu. The folders of those programs on the Start Menu say "empty" and no program is displayed.

Ok, so i have a few questions. instead of making thread for each. i am posting them hear.
1. like the title says, i want to know how to create one shortcut to launch multiple programs( Two or three programs at once)?
2. My second question is, is there a way that i pin a folder on taskbar and when click on that icon.it expand( only icons and their name in small space) like a fan( pop in and out). just like the Rocketdoc.?
3. And at last. how can i prevent a program from appearing in taskbar. like i have installed a skin for WMP and i like it to stay on the desktop.

I have a HP-Pavilion WE225AA-ABU p6324uk with MSI IONA 1.0 M/B and 3.20 gigahertz Intel Core i5650, 32 kilobyte primary memory cache, 64-bit ready processor with 4gb RAM and 750gb HD, running Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601) Up to about 4 weeks ago, it ran fine, nice and fast, then it started to take a long time to launch programmes, even longer to close them down, I often have to use Task Manager to close them and quite often I get programmes 'not responding' and hanging.

After the latest windows updates (9-22-12), now I cannot launch any program, including outlook, IE, norton or quicken. I can bring up an explorer window, copy and move files, and use the search funtion. I am out of ideas. System restore is useless.

I have a Toshiba Satellite P755-S5320 with 6 GB of Ram and a Intel Core i3 - 2330M CPU @ 2.20 GHZ. However, it is very sluggish. To launch mozilla firefox, it takes a good 12 seconds, and to open other apps such as Word 2007 it takes about 15 seconds...why with a processor such as this is it this sluggish?

Running a brand new HP desktop machine. I've been using it for about a week with no problems ... until today. Certain programs are acting like they aren't launching, but at about 5-10 minutes later, they finally launch. Even the Recycle Bin took about 5 minutes to come up. However, Firefox launches immediately.

The background is still visible but thats it. I am using win 7 home on a 64 bit system. Is there something I can reload or enable?

I've had this problem for a couple months, but have ignored it until now because it is hindering my ability to sync my iPhone. Essentially, any uploading-related activity that requires my computer to communicate with a network is not working. I can't connect the iTunes store in order to sync my phone, I can't attach files to my Gmail and there've been a couple other instances I can't recall where I couldn't connect through a program. My browsers work fine and I can download files easily -- it just seems like the uploading function does not work. Possible virus?

When I have a couple of screens open on my desktop. When I click on an icon for, lets say, iTunes, I can see the iTunes window appear behind the translucent taskbar of Win 7. Ditto for MS World.How do i get programs that are already open to open up with ONE click, instead of having to closed down all the other windows.

For a while my windows 7 64 bit would open my images in Documents. Now when I try they appear as a garbled strange format. If I go to PSP ProX2 they open fine. This is a problem for me since I often need to add images to document Newsletters I send out.

one of my co-workers wants me to get rid of some viruses and install office 2010 home and student on her computer with the key she bought. her computer runs windows 7 64-bit. after backing up her data, i finally ended up doing a factory reinstall from the backup partition. so i downloaded all windows updates and installed antivirus and firewall software. then i downloaded the office 2010 trial and tried to install it. it seems to begin installing without any problems. then a splash screen for powerpoint appears. it says that its "processing" and does that for about 20 minutes and then there is a balloon that pops up saying that office is downloading files. after all that happens, an error message appears that says something like "powerpoint cannot be opened. please try again later or repair this software in the control panel" with no sort of error code. i then tried repairing it from control panel which claims to complete successfully. so i restart and try to install again and the same thing happens all over again. if i try opening word, excel, powerpoint or onenote the splash screen appears and does the same thing that i described powerpoint was doing. ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. i also tried installing the 60 day trial for office 2007 that came preloaded with the computer and then installing office 2010 over it. same thing happened.

I have a fairly new HP Desktop PC. I'm running Windows 7 Home 64-bit SP1. Yesterday I noticed that iTunes won't open when I double-click on the shortcut icon on my desktop. I restarted my computer, same issue. I restarted in Safe Mode, same issueI did notuninstall/reinstall because I also can't open my Spybot-SD. Same thing happens. The process is listed in Task Manager, but the programs just don't open. I have not trieduninstalling/reinstalling the programs because I tried doing a System Restore back to early February. The System Restore was successful but the problem persists. Also, Windows Media Player opens, but it opens weird, wherein it freezes on a white square for a few minutes before finally loading. Also, my DVD burning software, DVD Flick, opens but first it freezes on a yellow square.
It's hard to Google this problem because of all the programs involved, and I'm sure there are more programs that won't open that I'm just not aware of yet. I didn't do anything that I can think of that could've caused the problem (and if I had, the system restore would've fixed it). So I scanned my PC for viruses with Symantec and I also scanned for malware with Microsoft Security Essentials and both scans came up clean. Not being able to use iTunes presents a problem because I can't update my phone or make changes to my phone at all.

Since the ninth of February some programs (mainly Warhammer Dawn of war 2, Skype and starcraft 2) just won't run. When I open Skype it doesn't give me nothing and the process just disappears after a few seconds. Warhammer gives me an error which he cannot find info on his website and starcraft 2 gives me a Huge message which can be found here : [URL]. And I have OTL but I just don't know how to use it.

Most programs I try to open takes me to "Open With" window where I can only choose from one selected program (Internet explorer) and never works. Some programs, like HijackThis says: Application Not Found.
I had recently had the Win 7 Total Security virus and removed it. Now I can't open anything.

I have an issue with my Windows / my PC. Last night I used my PC just fine and so on. But when I turned it on today and logged in I couldn't open my most used programs (StarCraft II, Windows Live & Firefox 5 - Dunno if there's more). I find it extremely ordinary, and it has never happened before..
What happens is, that I click the shortcut and nothing happens. I tried editing my exefile default to something else, but this doesn't work either. I thought to myself: Oh well, I'll just uninstall - but NO! I can't even uninstall the programs.

As of last night, my computer will no longer allow any programs to open. This includes IE and all other web browsers. There is no error message, the applications simply fail to open. The hourglass appears as if a program is starting, but then it vanishes and the program never opens.

I was working on my computer and needed to reboot after doing a scan with spybot search and destroy. All of the sudden on bootup there is a prolonged period where the screen is just dead. When it loads finally, it's very slow. I have Google chrome pinned to the taskbar and when I click on the icon, it pops up asking for approval if I want chrome to make changes to my hard drive. I also can't right click or type. I've tried everything I can think of, even two system restores.

I am using Win 7 system and microsoft Essential for AV. sadly I got a virus e mail ( which i didn't know) from UPS, and after that I tried to use microsoft security essential to remove them. it said remove successfully.
(1) however, I still can't open any program. when I try to open, it always pop up the " open with" window. but I am able to use right mouse click and " run as adminstrator" - is that .exe running file I am missing? where can I download it?
(2) under the action center, notification and Icons - I still can see this virus name there - av.exe... but I can delete or do anything of it.

Sometimes when I open firefox or some other program, the program doesn't open or it does open after awhile.. What do you think causes the problem? It doesn't happen everyday.. Only once in awhile it comes back. The process starts, but when I go to task manger, its only using 108kb.

Today i went on my computer and i randomly had all sorts of issues. I ran malawarebytes and removed everything. When i restarted i could open for example firefox but after 5 minutes i could not open any other program, not just browsers. Once i click to open something it would show the loading circle for a couple of seconds and then nothing would happen. If i click refresh on my desktop the loading circle pops up and never goes away. My background gets like a shade of white over it and i cant even press my start menu. If i try to go to task manager the screen goes black and says "failure to display security and shut down options when ctl+alt+del was pressed. I tried to restore back to several dates but still no change.
