Computer Club member's Windows Vista Home Premium.

The message above says it all. No .exe file will run. I have drilled down to
winword.exe, and double clicked. I have clicked icons on the desktop. I have
clicked programs on the start menu. In safe mode, I have downloaded a new
version of Windows Installer, when Run is clicked the subject message
appears.

When using Window Explorer, no .exe file has an icon associated with it!
When I open Programs & Features in the Control Panel. Programs cannot be
removed as the subject message appears.

Any and all ideas would be appreciated.

Forgot to mention.... Service Pack 1 is trying to install, but goes
non-responsive...

Try repairing the exe file association - download the exe fix from here:

And further more... System restore gives the same message.

Have you scanned for nasties ?

All has been fixed. The Club member had failed to provide a bit of
information. On a re-boot there was a message that Word was still open???
The she mentioned that when using Word she frequently got a message about
Normal.dot file and she always responded in the negative. Now since the
Outllook mail format options was set to Use Microsoft Office Word 2003 to
edit e-mail messages. The answer was now clear... Fix the Normal dot dot
file. All is now well.

When one clicks on the mbam-setup.exe the subject message appears. I will
give Dave-UK's suggestion a try.
