Posted in COR as well, but i may get a better response here
Ok, these problems only started after i installed "the latest Windows Update"
I cannot run any executable files at all. This is strange in itself, as i cannot open Word by clicking on my Shortcut, BUT I CAN open word if i open an existing document.
However this does work for other stuff, for example i cannot watch any movie files on windows media player this way.
When i try and use a program via the shortcut, it just says that "Windows cannot find xxxxxx.exe, try and use the search function to find it"
Trying to run the program from its parent application does not work either.
I would use system restore but this weird thing has also affected Run32dll.exe, i cannot run my anti-virus programs or anything else!
I've probably got some ty virus on the plus side, loads of applications that usually run at startup are not running, so the computer is usuing 1/8th of the RAM i have
I also had some weird problem before this update installed, there was a program called Winupdate.exe in my startup menu, and it seemed to be the cause of my dropped internet connections. it seemed to run itself multiple times over and clog up my system resources. i suspected it was a virus, but my AVG did not seem to think so. I deleted it, since its file attributes said that it was some sort of prototype program, it was made in Argentina, and its old name was Rd2.exe
