I have the same problem with certain mulitimedia programs and such. If I start a
program, the system acts busy for a moment, and then nothing else happens. If I look
in the task manager, then it says the program is running, and if I try to end it,
then it says "not responding"and provides that oh-so-lovely "wait/end task/cancel"
dialog. I've tried reinstalling them, and I also tried the avifil32.dll re-extraction
mentioned in a reply to the above question, as well. This problem just came out of
nowhere, along with a problem that causes the task manager to report random programs
from windows/system as running, and then when I close it, it says not responding
and gives me the wait/endtask menu, and then when going back into task manager, that
program has been replaced by something like dxdiag or cfgwiz32 or systray, etc, and
I repeat the process for all of these programs over and over and over...... , but
I found a way to fix this. However, any help with the programs not opening problem
would be greatly appreciated.
