Problems executing exe. files

Yoda · Post by **Yoda** » 27 Mar 2006, 15:22

At the moment my computer is for some reason having trouble running some exe. files. The main part of this problem is that everytime an internet explorer window is closed an error occurs and also when trying to start up a game i get the following error:
Main executable for .......has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

currently running Windows XP home edition

If anyone knows any way to solve this the help would be appreciated.

1. Have you try to scan your computer for viruses, spyware and adware?
Thing to do:
Get a free antivirus like AVG or Keeperspy
Get Adaware : http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
Get Search&Destroy: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-D ... 22137.html

Do the scan and clear all bad stuff.

Now get Hijackthis: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html

and post the logs

I have carried out all of the virus scans etc and its all clear. Does anyone else have any suggestions on how to solve this??

I agree with nerdz, exe-problems are most likely caused by a virus.
do a online scan to make sure your antivirus software isn´t corrupted:
http://security.symantec.com/ , installing new antivirus apps on a infected box is pointless when the virus is using exe-files.
when your system is REALLY clean you should save all important data and do a repair install...
