Can't run .exe files...HELP!

[kjcasey42]

Okay, earlier this week, my laptop started acting wonky. I ran Norton and it came across 2 problems, and had to reboot. Once I rebooted, no .exe files would run when I clicked on them. Clicking on them brings up the "Select an application to run the program" box, so I can't even do a system restore.

I'm running Windows XP, using a wireless connection on my laptop. As for my browser, I use Internet Explorer. I hope that's enough! Please help!
