Programs terminated at random...

ToyotaFreak · 8th Sep 2007, 12:20 PM

Happened after getting this "CTF Loader is having a problem" message (Apparently something to do with MS Office. I think it went away after I did a system restore.).

http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=118691

but,

Programs such as Winamp, Paint Shop Pro 8, FLV Player or MS Excel on my laptop would shut down at random times. Checked, but no virus found.

Anyone here having this problem?

Thanks,

TF

PS: Below is a screen shot of the error message (Will post another if it happens again.).

Hmm.. Could be a damaged or missing DLL...

Since it has something to do with the Alternative Input feature, try uninstalling that and reinstalling it?

ToyotaFreak · 8th Sep 2007, 02:59 PM

So, that CTF loader thing could also affect other programs?

Man, I don't want PowerPoint to shut down in the middle of a presentation.

Will try that (Sorry if I sound noob-ish, but I was just wondering if you meant disable & then re enabling the Alt Input, by saying "uninstalling & reinstalling it").

Thanks,

TF

Looks like it's happening again (See pic below.).

And my laptop shut down by itself overnight.

Hmm.. DEP? It's as if Explorer is infected by a virus? Had your system checked out et?

Hmmm maybe I should do a virus scan again (Didn't detect anything in the last run.).

Here's a screenshot of what I've got after running a virus scan.

I'm not sure if I should go ahead and click on wipe or heal object (I don't want my laptop to screw up.).

UPDATE: Can't select heal files!

Damn!

UPDATE #2: Problem solved. Please lock thread.

Woah.. That is a LOT! Wipe!

I swear that I'll NEVER look at "You know what I mean" EVER again.

LOL! You always make that promise, but still doing it.
