XP: app no longer runs - sits as process?

[toonerama]

Hello, I come in desperation ...

All of a sudden, my app Emagic Logic Platinum v5.5 will no longer start. It sits there as a process, and nothing happens. I know this can happen with older, non-XP apps, but Logic is definitely XP-compatible. I have tried uninstalling & re-installing Logic, to no avail.

I've thought about what has changed recently :-
- A few minor installs
- Installed .NET Framework (is this problematic?)
- Removal of temporary files
- Registry cleanout (since restored)
- Not much else

Any suggestions?
Many thanks!

Hi toonerama

Welcome to ntfs

have you tried ;

reinstalling the application ???

did you use a program to clean the registry ??
these can often cause problems

Thanks for the reply ...

Yeah, I tried un- & re-installing but it made no difference. And yes, I'm afraid I did use a reg cleaner - XP Scrub. I was thinking the re-install would fix any reg problems, but I guess that's not necessarily true. I will look at a reg restore.
