Re: Desktop application programs could not be opened

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Why is it not a good idea? If it doesn't work then the OP can go through the tedious troubleshooting process.

Doing a Repair Install as the other poster suggested would not be a good
idea. You need to troubleshoot the cause of this situation and you've not
given us any information with which to do so.

Please look at these links to see what details you need to include in your
next newsgroup post so we can help you:

In the meantime:

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things
worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair
shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If
possible, have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a
shop.
