Hi fellas!
I started my computer this morning and immediately saw something wierd :
1. my computer skipped the usual ram check
2. it did not go throught all my periphericals
3. The ASUS boot screen poped up twice
I wasn't really worried at this point until I start my session to realise that I can't boot 90% of my exe files. For some unterminable reasons I can start CCleaner or Defraggler but I can't start anything else. I can't browse the web on FF or Chrome, can't start any games nor Adobe suite.
Furthermore, none of my .exe files that usually start with Windows didn't start this time (i.e.: Steam, Daemon Tools, etc.)
Everything else seems to be fine : my usb components, my two monitors, my sound system, etc. work perfectly.
I went on the internet on my laptop to check for a solution and tried many things :
1. Booted in Safe mode and networking and it was the same thing... Couldn't run a thing aside from CCleaner.
2. Downloaded the Doug Knox fix for Windows 7... didn't work.
3. Went into the registry and everything seemed fine in the .exe reg.
4. Restored my system to earlier date.
I know that I ran defraggler earlier but I didn't let it finish, could it be the cause of the problem?
So is there a solution? I don't want to reformat until I know I have no other choice, I have a ton of games I got from Steam that I would need to re-download wich would be a pain .
Thanks alot for your help!
