I've got this problem, when I try to open or run an application it doesn't open. It just sits there doing nothing. When I open Task Manager, I can see the program in Process list but that's it. I don't know what the issue is. When I restart my computer the program opens and runs, but anytime after that it stops opening and does this. Is this the sign of a virus?

Re: is my computer infected?
Usually, I don't prefer using those, but I gave it a shot anyways
, and I still haven't gotten a solution. Actually I just found out, its only ONE program (game) that was having such issue. The Tomb Raider 4 game engine. (level-edited patched engine) The only application doing such.
I would still like to know why it does this (because I use this often).

Re: is my computer infected?
EIDOS put out a patch for the full retail U.S. version of that pc game. It should fix that issue. I can not remember the patch name but Google for it. Something like, Tomb Raider 4 The Last Revelation Game Patch.Originally posted by Vivi View PostUsually, I don't prefer using those, but I gave it a shot anyways, and I still haven't gotten a solution.

Re: is my computer infected?
Oh, yes I've found the patch for it. Its good for the original tr4 game engine, but I guess (for some odd reason) it works for this one too. Anyways, problem's solved, thank-you so much for all your help!
