Hi,
Heres my PC specification.
OS: Vista Home Premium, SP 2, 32 bit (Actually Dual Boot see below)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU
RAM: 3.00 GB
The problem started since yesterday. I cannot start a lot of application files such as games, firefox, system restore, regedit, msconfig, task manager and a lot more. When I double click on their icons, nothing happens. I don't even get any error message.
However, I can start some applications such as window media player, sony vegas etc. It seems like only the useful applications cannot be started.
I haven't downloaded anything significant in the last few days. I have an anti-spyware (I think) called "Spybot Search & Destroy" installed in my machine. Its works better than a lot of anti-virus softwares out there. So if it was some virus/spyware related problem I'm sure it'd have informed me of the problem.
I've got a dual boot system Windows(vista)/Linux(Ubuntu). Ubuntu is installed withing windows. Strangely, I can use Ubuntu without any problems (which is where I'm posting this thread from).
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
