An older Aussie with a younger mindset with an Aspire E1-571 not behaving itself

G'day,

I feel like an absolute dope. I've been using computers since 1991. I should never have used a 'registry cleaner'.

I get this message "The specified procedure could not be found" every time I try to install a program, run an app such as to change the boot sequence, everything I have tried for days just crashes with the same result.

 

I have backed up all my files and just want to have the computer do a clean install on itself.

I can't even access a restore point - this same message comes up.

 

It shows the directory path and the name of the .exe that I am trying to use - even when simply trying to update Java:

If you can offer any suggestions I'd be very thankful.

 

Thanks

 

David
