I'm not saying you are. Some times we forget...

The issue sounds like a memory problem to me. Is there any applciation that doesn't error? Also, what Apps do you have installed. I saw afew things from google that said certain apps don't play well. Mostly adobe apps and some CD burning programs.

any info you can post will be helpful.

The only programs that errors are ones with .exe, all the other programs like word and excel work fine, i can't remember if i installed any new programs

Check add/remove programs. Give me the list.
Also, when you launch the program from startmenu, or when you run a file of that type. Are you sure it's all .exe's?

That seems a little strange as you should see an error at load if that is the case as explorer.exe is a .exe and it's needed for the desktop to appear.

Have you ran antivirus and spyware scans?

once it's open, go to application. Do you see APPLICATION ERRORS there? look at 4th column. You should. Open one up. What does it say in the message?
