Photo Explorer 8.5 won't start after over year of use

Post by sybernet11 »

:(

After a year and a half of successful use, my Phote Explorer 8.5 will not start up. It tries to, then freezes. I have tried the repair function, to no avail. I have uninstalled and re-installed several times with no luck. The CD and DVD creator software still works fine. There is no error message, just "not responding."

Any ideas? I have PE8.5 loaded on my laptop and tried it today and it worked fine. Some file must have become corrupted on my PC. Running Windows XP and Pentium 4 processor, by the way, with plenty of HD space and RAM.

I did notice today that after I uninstalled again, there were about 12 to 15 ULead files still on the computer after I did a search of Ulead. I killed all of those off.

Tomorrow I will try one more time to re-install and see if that did the trick.

Thanks

To do a clean re-install following these instructions:

Though I suspect the problem is related to something else if it has ben working OK for the past year.

What else has changed on your computer recently. New software, new hardware. Deleted something. Have you had any electrical power failures?
