mona14, You may want to download & run the Fixswen.inf file at the link below. It may correct your problem.
"Save the fixswen.inf file to your local hard disk, right-click on the file and choose install".
"A Setup INF file to undo registry changes made by W32/Swen@MM and other threats that prevent REGEDIT, BAT, COM, EXE, PIF, REG and SCR files from running".
