My computer suddenly refuses to run downloaded and installed applications. Specifically, I am having trouble with my instant messenger, but I attempted to download and install a few other simple programs to see if it was a general problem and sure enough, even though installation appears to work, nothing happens when I try to open the programs.
My computer will "think" for a few moments and act like maybe it's going to open, but nothing comes up.
The task manager processes tab says aim.exe is running, for example, but the program doesn't appear anywhere else, like in the system tray or in the first task manager tab (the one that tells which applications are running, right?).
I finally tried a system restore, but my computer said it can't do a system restore for some reason. This problem only began in the last few days. It is an hp tc1100 tablet pc running windows XP tablet edition...any ideas?
