    Default EXE won't launch

    Well, several of them, in fact. Here's what happens... Hopefully, someone else will know what is going on...

    I have a happy little exe. Most recently, ICQ. Isn't it cute? Computer asks me if I'm sure that I want to open it, warning about viruses, yada yada yada. I say, OK, you stupid machine. A window labled "Launch Application" pops up, and says "This link needs to be opened with an application. Send to:".

    Underneath, it says "file", and beneath that, "Choose an Application" with a button that says "Choose". Other than that, there's an option to remember my choice, "OK" and "Cancel". Nothing I can figure out will work... and no EXEs will run.

    Please help!

    It's possible that your .exe associations are screwed up. Take a look at this site and see if it applies. I'll keep looking elsewhere for more information in the meantime.

    (Just to clarify, are all of your .exe files failing to run or just some of them?)
    IT HAS RETURNED.
    THE TPM MAIN SITE.

    All of them... so this is a possibility... I'll check it out.

    EDIT: Need the .exe files to work for the registry editor... Someone didn't think about that one too hard.

    .exe WAS removed from my file extension list, though... but adding it manually didn't help. =/
