Customers computer.I am pretty sure this is a cuse from a virus but wanted some insite from all you smart guys & Gals.Microsofts site had nill on the exe.
Every time you try to open an apllication I get this error
Windows can not find winsrvc.exe
This program is needed for opening files of type"application"
Location of winsrvc.exe_c:\_____________________
I assumed windows\system but that did not work. <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0">
Run System File Checker and the restore then File from CD.
I can not execute SFC because of the error
You cannot restore that file with SFC, as it is a Virus!!!!!!!!
Download the Navidad fix HERE
Save it to a floppy, and execute it on the infected machine........should clear it up!
Thank you Bad mojo as I also speculated it was a virus.Will i have to replace any files or exe's do you think? Thanks !!!!!!
No, that fix should take care of it!!
I had 1 cent everytime this virus got someone <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
this is a tricky little thing..
it changes the association of EXE files
to "%1 winsvc.exe"
you can clean it using a DOS anti-virus..
( ftp://147.234.1.253/pub/f-prot.exe )
and then open regedit (from DOS prompt) and change the EXE association to the original..
another way is to rename regedit.exe to regedit.com <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
Good luck..
Tell me about it! We were getting that thing in left and right not too long ago!Quote:

I just gave him a link to the fix, as i figured it would be easier for the inexperienced user to work with.
If you need to, rename regedit.exe to .com like Condor said, and then edit HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command
Change the key so it reads:
"%1" %*
Good luck!!
All is well ,MOJO hit it on the spot and it cleaned it all up.I am gonna keep this little disk handy.
Had this one attack my county months ago, thank goodness that you can download a fix!
