Windows XP Pro with SP2 not running applications

[Brett Kirkness]

I have a Toshiba A70 laptop running WinXP SP2.
When the laptop was turned on last no programs world run from the start
menu or from the shortcut bar.
Also applications will not run when run from their directory on the hard
drive. CMD.exe also does not run as will anything else started from the
run prompt.
when programs are run the open dialog comes up asking what to open the
program with.

I have run AVG on the hard drive with no virii found and AVG will still
run its scheduled testing.

All help would be appreciated
