Hey everyone. I got a question that I realize is quite generic, but I don't know what I could do to analyze my computer to find this (a log of some sort). This problem occured on a previous Windows installation, so I formatted... It was gone, but came back after SOMETHING, and unfortunately it's far too late to figure out what caused it (Happened in November).

You see, the problem is that both Adobe Audition and Adobe After Effects fail to get past their loading screens... There isn't even an error, the programs simply close right then and there. Why does this relate to Doom9? Well... At the same time, OggDropXP (and a related program LameDropXP) fail to work. Upon opening them, I get the standard Windows error report, so I'm thinking that their sudden failure is related...

Obviously this doesn't give much for anyone to work with, so is there anyway I can scan my computer for errors and post a log?... Relating to scanning, I suspect that these errors occur System Mechanic 6 cleaned my computer (which I think it did too thoroughly!)... I've deleted SM6, but I didn't think that would do anything if a file is missing. Any help?

You could try using sfc at the command prompt to check whether the Windows system files are intact and repair them if needed.

Well... I formatted, because I figured it was too late to help my system. Formatting DID help; I was able to get After Effects running, among other problems being fixed (I haven't tried Ogg/LameDrop yet)... HOWEVER! I strongly believe that Quicktime Alternative actually caused it to have this problem in the first place... Because I just reinstalled it a few hours ago, and now I can't start up After Effects!

Oh, and Boulder, I tried sfc this time... It apparently did replace something, but that didn't help.
