Uninstall one.thanks for the reply guys .. n yes i just uninstalled Avira Antivir .. and still after that m not able to open any .exe program

Actually i just tried running the  REGISTRY MECHANIC and its gives an error saying: 


(unable to execute file in the temporary directory. setup aborted.
error 998: invalid access to memory location. )


and still if i run any other files it gives an error saying:

(windows cannot access the specied device, path, or file. you may not have the appropriate permissins to access the item.)


i dont REALLY get it why is it giving this error as i am the only administrator on my laptop and have not opened any other account's.


Also i think this problem has started due to my system mechanic as i jus downloaded it a month back n now its subscriptions over and now i cant even uninstall it from control panel.... has it got sumthing to do with all this  ?




ok i just read some other forums on how to uninstall system mechanic and i was also able to do so on my laptop ...

so then again i tried running .exe programs and .... still the same errors .. i dont really know what's going on .. so plz sumone just help me plz .....How long has this been happening?

Try a System Restore (Start > Accessories > System Tools) to before the date it started.k the errors just started like 3days back and the system mechanic i uninstalled a month back and i dont think the system restore will help as it just lets me go back more than 3 days so dont think dat will help but if u want i'l give it a try .... ?

isn't there any other way i cud change my registry settings without downloading anything from the internet as i cant open any files which i download online ( .exe ones)k i just did the system restore and even dat didnt help !! ... what do i do now ?System Mechanic and Registry Mechanic will both create more issues than they could ever solve...
Dump both of them immediately.

Try creating a new user account and see if you can run the files from there.
