Although you may have other problems as yet, this will restore the EXE file action for Windows XP:

Click the link with this name on that page:
"EXE File Association Fix (Restore default association for EXE files)"

It is in a ZIP file. Unzip it. Right-click the REG file and select Merge. You may need to reboot.
