Hi,



I am not repeating the entire issue here. The subject says it all... Kindly visit

Basically, 90% of installed apps stop working all of a sudden... the screenshots in that thread

illustrate the problem.



Using OEM version of Vista Home Premium 32 bit + SP1 + all updates + latest patches for every app &

driver



System free of viruses & spyware...



Please help!
