K well my icq, half-life, and some occasionnal app`s don`t even want to start.. like ICQ for instance i start it.. then ??? where is it?? i didnt even load in memory no crash no msgs just nothingness lol as if i didnt press the start button.. same thing with half-life... could it be the powertoys that done this??? cause i believe they where functionning b4 i installed those..

did this happen to anybody else? if so what did u do? and what caused it?

ive had that at times but when i look in taskmanager theres like 4-5 lots of ICQ or winamp or whatever
(the numbe rof times ive tried to load it)
not had it since i built the new machine *touch wood* but i remember i did in my old one.

once i quit those apps ... then go back into it, it starts.

ya make sure any instances of it in task manager are completely killed before opening a new one

with ICQ, i seem to have a problem where when someone comes online, it doesn't flash that someone has come online. I can hear the sound of the 'knocking door' though...just not the signal in the systray...

My messages show up in my systray, (the flashing message), so i don't know...

Any Ideas?
