I am having trouble - nothing will open like control panel, malwarebytes, system restore, internet explorer and I get errors like windows installer is not found. There is a new icon on the taskbar today that wasn't there yesterday - **IDS_SYSTRAY_TOOLTIP. Also yesterday I was trying to download a patch from Microsoft.com to update Microsoft Office 2003 so it would open docx files. I never got that to work but maybe I did something to mess this all up. I get errors when trying to run any of the 3 OTL programs. I try to run Malwarebytes and get this error: CoCreatInstance failed; code 0x80040154. Class not registered. I click through the error and I check to install updates and check the box to run and get this error: Run-time error '372' Failed to load control 'WebBrowser'from ieframe.dll. Your version of ieframe.dll may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application. I ran exehelper.com and immediately tried MBAM and received the same errors. Did the same with 2 other exehelpers. Same problem. Ran rkill.exe and tried MBAM but keep getting those same errors.

Ran VIPRERescue and did a full scan. Downloaded MBAM again and get the same errors as above when trying to install and run.
Downloaded SuperAntiSpyware, installed and received error creating shortcuts, aborting installation.
Still can't open control panel, internet explorer, system restore from system tools, etc.

Any ideas??

I rebooted in safe mode by hitting F8 at startup (googled how to do this) and was able to do a system restore this way. The problem is fixed.
