Program does not start

[Aristotle]

Hi everybody,

I have a fortran IDE installed on my laptop. Until a few days ago it used to work all right, however, today clicking on its icon on the desktop does not start the program, though, it adds a process in the task manager. Going to the folder where the actual program is and clicking on its icon too does not start the program though a process is again added in the task manager. Using Rus As and running as the current user does start the program if 'protect my computer ' is checked. However, in this case, program seem not to be able to access any of the files and is effectively useless. However, if 'protect my computer' is not checked, the program does not start though a process can be seen in the task manager. Would be grateful for any and all comments/suggestions/solutions.

Which O/S are you running ?

"Rus As" - please explain what this is ?

I am using Windows XP.

That was a typo; I mean when I use "Run As" by right clicking on the icon the program does start if "protect my computer ..." is checked on but it cannot access the files.

Check the Event Viewer if there are any application entries for that program. If you cannot find anything, I would contact the author of that application.

You could try System Restore to before the problem. Also, have you installed any new programmes or updates in the last few days? If so, one may be blocking that application.
