This is a strange combination, like associating a browser as the default application for running exe files. If you just try to run an exe file from the desktop, you shouldn't see any message about the internet. What do you mean when you differentiate the desktop from the C drive? Typically, the desktop is on C:. It could be that things aren't clear due to terminology. Can you explain this one in more detail?
My apologies. I mean I can click on the shortcut on the desktop and it will error out and then sometimes I can go tot he exe in the C drive and it will work loading, Not very often though.
The Open option in the open vs. save dialog in your browser mainly refers to files that are used by passing them to another program, like viewing a file. It generally does not support running an executable file from there. To run a downloaded program, you generally have to save it and then run it from the hard disk.
I should have said it states do you want to run or save the file.
Not enough information here to go on. Could be that if we clear up some of the other questions, this one will take care of itself, or at least be clearer what the problem is.
I am not sure if you know what Eve online is but it is an online space game. It suddenly stopped working about 2 months ago and I jumped through all the hoops to correct this using their help desk and I included this just as another issue that could have helped. Basically the game will load to the online server, act like it is loading, but never launches. This one is the least of my worries.
There should be a recovery partition that lets you restore the computer to factory configuration rather than doing a new install with a Windows disk. The repair disk should also let you run certain kinds of diagnostics and repairs.
Start by running the different AV programs and rerun them until they each find no problems. Then run sfc /scannow in the start menu Run window. There are many non-destructive things to try before you take the step of starting over.
I have used the repair disc to run the options for repairs and nothing was found to resolve the issues.
I have ran as many AV and mal/spy ware programs as I could find but I will run the sfc/scannow and see what comes up. Thank you.
All kinds of things can cause this. It can cover the gamut from running more things than your hardware can support, to the computer making excessive use of a hard disk swap file, to too many background processes, to conflicting background processes, to problem web sites with excessive advertizing or popups or embedded videos, to problem browser add-ons, to blocking ads on web sites that insist on displaying them, to problems with your flash video player, to having more than one AV program running, to corruption of something in Windows, to corrupted or incompatible software, to malware, to registry errors, etc. Many things that affect speed are controlled by settings. There are some diagnostics you can do to rule out certain classes of problems or to find a specific problem. You can also spend weeks tweaking your computer to improve its speed if there is nothing malfunctioning.
