Answer #1
if a programs path can’t be specified then there’s nothing there to be launched. try MANUALLY going to an EXE’s folder/path. like for example c:\program files\Mozilla\Firefox\is the exe there? or the folder in general?
i know this is always the stereotypical response to a PC’s problems.. but an exe. path error is usually always caused by some sort of Trojan deleting the exe’s/paths. the quickest way to tell is if you try and install something new… download a programs SETUP.EXE from your WORKING partition/computer and launch it on the NON-WORKING PC. if it installs, and launches correctly… then something definitely messed up your paths/registry to your pre-existing programs. and that would mean a reformat, because usually when a path is damaged, it’s more than the EXE that’s missing.. it’s multiple files in that programs folder.
Answer #2
try system restore

try system restore
Usually when you can’t launch any EXE’s because of path errors, System Restore won’t work either.
