I tried to do a system restore so I could restore the computer back so I can open programs. When i double click anything on my desktop or click anything on the start menu, a "Open With" box appears asking me to chose a programs to open. If that doesn't happen, then a dialog box appears saying "Application not found."
When I tried to do system restore to fix this problem, another dialog box appears saying "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Restore\RSTRUI.EXE is not a valid Win32 application."
I have AVG, HiJackThis, and SpyBot - Search and Destroy. Little bubbles on the side of the screen keep saying that Spybot is a corrupt file.
I tried to open HiJackThis, but it doesn't open as well.
Please help. What should I do?
