It won't let me run anything at all

[exile360]

OK, no problem. Just post in that area as described above describing the issues you're having and one of the expert helpers will assist you when they become available.

Ok will do because system restore did nothing and i can't click and use ANY exe files at all.

The fix above should work though. did you go to the link? its a .com file and not .exe

saw exe helper and jumped to conclusions

[Devinedragoon]

I downloaded onto a flash drive adn went to run it on the netbook and got windows can't open this file to open this file, windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. that whole deal.
