Hi,

have a strange problem on a pc where some programs will not load even though the exe shows up in the process list of task manager.

I've scanned with malwarebytes, and ran several registry fixers, but no joy.

It seems like something is running that is getting in the way of proper operation, but i cant find what it could be. (checked msconfig, services.msc, etc)

I do notice that if i press alt+tab, there is something showing as running called "Form1" with an icon i don't recognize. I cant see it in task manager or anywhere else, so i dont't know how to kill it. Maybe this is the problem.

Also quicklaunch shortcuts seem to have random icons at startup. Fine if I kill and restart explorer.exe. Tried several fixes found on web for this, but problem persists.

Any ideas or suggestions?
