I have a PC and some reason I can't run ANY .exe files it says something like "windows cannot access the specific device path or file, you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item " then another box pops up and says this link needs to be open with an application. Many thanks

Are you the administrator and what OS are you running? If you are not logged on as Administrator, please do so and see if the problem persists.

Try uninstalling the anti virus and see if it happens still. What's the name of the software?

You can try a system restore to a time when your computer can run .exe files.

Can you run any other applications without a problem?
