Hey guys. I don't know if I have posted this in the right forum and mods can feel free to move it.
I am having a rather annoying problem with file on my desktop that I use to emulate a game update.
For the last three weeks, the file has been running fine (with the occasional alert from AVG saying that inside the file holds a AutoIt worm, even though this file and AutoIt have been proved clean) and with no problem whatsoever until the other day when I tried to run the file again. When I double clicked on the file, a message saying that "Windows cannot find the file specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." showed up each time I tried.
I re-downloaded the file from it's original source and extracted it to a new folder on my desktop and again, the same problem occurred of not being able to open the file. I am the only user on my computer and have all administrator privileges.
I tried to run a system restore on multiple restore points but each time I did so, the computer would reboot and a message saying that the restore point was either corrupt or missing. I did a full disk cleanup and analyzation and tried again but to no avail. It can't be my hard drive because I extracted the original downloaded file (in a .RAR) to my D:/ and E:/ drives but again, the same problem with it not being able to open happened.
The thing is, I don't understand how the file could open and run fine for a few weeks and then suddenly, bunk out and not open. If anyone could help me resolve this issue I would be very grateful.
