Yesterday all of my computers programs stopped working. They just seem to open and then close right away. I was able to boot up in safe mode and do a system restore from the 31st and I tried again for Dec 25th and none of the worked. My computer boots up and I can see everything (files and programs) but none of them will open up.

Please help!

Thanks

I think it is fixed now

run
sfc /scannow

Something I did worked, I'm not sure what. I changed the regedit.exe to regedit.com, I also ran exefix.reg notepad file. Oh well.

Thanks
