Has it ever run?
If not try uninstalling and re-installing.

If yes, have you re-booted your computer and tried again.
If you've done that, what has changed on your computer since the last time you were able to start up VS9.

Have you installed any new software, codecs or hardware.
Has your computer suffered a crash due to mains power failure.

yea..it has run.......but i hv just re-installed windows.....so no new softwares an all....i hv tried rebootin and reinstalling vs9..but it doesnt help.

When you re-installed windows did you do a "clean install" or an
"upgrade" installation.

Did you have this problem before you re-installed windows?
Which version of Windows are you using? XP/98/2K etc.

Try checking your Windows XP error messages
If you have "my computer" displayed on your desktop
right click "my computer"

expand "Event Viewer"
now look at the error messages in

Look for items with a red circle and white X inside.
Double click the error. Double click the blue link which should give you some guidance about the error found
