Hi all, I just got a new software program (Kidpix Deluxe 3) and installed and
ran it once fine. After I stopped using it, no other programs on my computer
would work - internet explorer wouldn't even load. So I restarted the
computer and everything worked fine. BUT, the next time I tried to run
kidpix, when I clicked the icon (on desktop OR on start menu) nothing
happened. The hourglass thingy appeared next to the cursor for a second then
disappeared but the program never started. At this point no other programs
would open either. So I restarted the computer and kidpix worked fine, but
again, agter using it nothing else works. This happens every time - I must
restart before and after using the new program every time in order for
anything to work. Any sugggestions? (I'm running XP home edition and all
driers are up to date.) Thanks.
