I have a problem

My problem is that my computer is kind of messing up on me. Every program, including WoM, that I try to run wont open. My computer keeps telling me that it is an .exe file and there is no known program to run it. Help anyone?

There is no error code. It just pops up a list of programs and it tells me "program unidentified, please select a program from this list to run your file"

Your .exe file association is broke, probably due to malware. You can download the default registry entry for the file association. :sheep:

For XP go here: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm
For Vista go here: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/1 ... Vista.html
You need the EXE one.

Those were a quick google search away, just look around if you use another os.

Download the zip, extract it somewhere, and try double clicking it and choosing import, or right clicking it and choosing merge.

Indeed, sounds like a virus.

For a longterm solution, ease up on the porn.
