Hi,
thank you for the links, i have tried all but not succeeded.

This happened to me, too.
MS Office PRO 2010, MS WIN 7.
I had an Excel file saved to desktop. MS said that the file could not be found, but could convert my file into WORD.
I followed the prompts and said yes....then I got all kinds of code (as you have listed), and AND it converted all kinds of files not associated with the file I asked for.
Things like picassa, google, Adobe, and other third party apps.
It seemed that the MS conversion file wound itself in all of the .exe's.
I went to the extension manager to see if MS Word tried to make herself the preferred program and she did not.
I tired to do a system restore and IT WILL NOT COMPLETE the POST.
I have since copied all the files into another user profile and they seem to be functioning fine, ( I deleted the troubled user account) however I still can not run a system restore or return the system to an original date as the post will not complete.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank YOU!
