can't start programs
Hi!
I have a problem where sometimes I can't start programs after Windows loads.
A click the icon on the taskbar, the cursor changes to busy, but the application doesn't start, it only appears in Task Manager using ~100KB RAM with 0 CPU time.
Googled for a long time, tried disabling all start-up programs in msconfig.exe, but that didn't solve the problem.
Then I started 'randomly' killing processes, and after killing the svchost.exe which has the dwm.exe as a child process, all my programs would start up.
Also, I can start the programs if I run them as admin, or if I run them from a (normal) cmd.
What could be the problem?
My config:
Windows 7 Prof. x64 SP1
ATI Catalyst 11.3
