    Going in circles a little.

    Do exe's work now?
    Is malwarebytes installed on the broken machine?
    Have you run it, and got the quick scan, full scan screen up?
    If f is your usb flash drive remove it completely, then run malwarebytes, update it, do a full scan, fix anything found before closing

    If it doesn't work, explain exactly what happens, a little grey box could be anything.

    I keep asking the same questions

    do exe's work or not? ie do you get this same error whatever program you run?

    does the internet work on this machine now?

    is f your flash drive? if so remove it.

    what have you done since putting the flash drive in the broken machine?

    start again

    copy rkill.exe from usb stick to broken machine
    copy the fixexe.reg file from usb stick to broken machine
    copy malwarebytes mbam-setup from usb stick to broken machine
    REMOVE usb stick from broken machine

    double click on the .reg file

    double click on the rkill.exe file

    double click on the malwarebytes installer

    then run malwarebytes,
    update malwarebytes
    FULL scan inside malwarebytes
    select the c drive to scan
    fix anything found before closing

    if at any stage anything doesn't work, please explain clearly what comes on screen
