over the last day or so i dont seem to be able to open or run a lot of my software...i have noticed that a lot seem to have the exe file extensions...even when running my pctools it would not let me run any sort of cleanup or scans....

have i inadvertantly disabled something? ( i recently disabled some processes, using an inline guide to free up some resources etc)
i did this once before but it worked fine...

if so which one would be it be and how do i turn it back?

error message says "the application was unable to start correctly
(0xc0000017) please click ok to close"

thanks

That's referring to a memory address which means it can not 'run' the program.

Have you restarted your PC (and not closed the processes)?

Try re-starting the PC in Safe Mode. If it works OK here, then another program is causing the problem.

Try those first and let us know how you get on.
