I have been unable to open the program at all. It has worked before and it suddenly stopped today. I don't know if this is a correlation, but Planetside 2 got updated yesterday and I ran Iolo System Mechanic yeterday as well and maybe it's correlated somehow? I open up the task manager and the Backend and settings procces show up. I have no idea exactly what is causing the problem. (Running an i5-4430 with 8Gb ram and 750ti)

No. I probably should have been more specific. It doesn't open sometimes, no matter how often I click. (eg, this past 2 days) but then it'll start working again (today).

When you click the icon does the application open up?

Sometimes, when I click on it to open up GFExperience, I get that small loading wheel next to my cursor for a split second. When I right click on it to view options, I can select what I want like the NVidia control panel which will open up, just not the GFExperience.

Try this:
1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA GeForce Experience
2. Right Click on GFExperience.exe
3. Click compatibility tab
4. Tick the box 'Run this program as administrator'

Try running the program now

Alright, I have tried that earlier (running in admin) (had finals so couldn't reply for a while there) and it didn't work. For some reason, after I updated Win 7 and also ran System mech Pro on my system to clean it up then restarted, it worked fine. So, I don't exactly know what caused it initially but until i run into this again, i'll keep a close eye on it. thanks
