Big problem

luigifire

I am running vista.
My problem is that when i click on a program it doesn't open.
instead "open with" opens.
And the place where it says use this for default can't be checked.
I can run them in administrator.
And it does that for everything, regedit, cmd, task manager,security center, games, fire fox, hyjackthis, ect.
I don't know what to do.
Heres my log:

System Restore.

luigifire

Sorry, I can't think right now, does that delete anything?

Sherifu

Possibly update/driver or software installations. It won't delete any data.

luigifire

It didn't work.

Sherifu

You went back how far? Are there older restore points?

luigifire

I just made one, I hadn't made one before.

Sherifu

It doesn't work like that. It's pointless making one now. Unless there's one in the past it won't work.

luigifire

I noticed, I mean the only program I Can use in the control panel is uninstall. That's it. I've used anti spyware stuff, registery fixes, and hyjackthis, nothing works ;_;

mickzer

I run your Hijack file here:http://www.hijackthis.de/en
It seems there are a couple of bad files.

mickzer.

luigifire

I fixed some things, I get that now, but the problem is the same.

no it's a life saver when it works and just about any muppet can be told how to do it

big tip - change permissions on the folder so you can scan it for viruses and stuff
