I don't know whats up, but many of my applications just perform an illegal operation before they can even start.

The main one is GTA:SA, but fair enough, I can live without games. But all of Macromedia Studio, primarilly Flash, just performs an illegal operation before it opens. I just can't figure it out. I was on Studio MX 2004, so I deleted, re-installed, no luck. Downloaded the demo of Flash 8, same problem. I've cleaned out the registry and reinstalled more times than you've had hot meals.. But I can't for the life of me figure out why this is happening :(.

Can anybody help?

Cheers,
Naffa
 
Sounds like either faulty drivers, corrupted installer or memory. To rule out faulty memory download and run memtest86 to floppy or cd.
 
Put it this way, you get to start a fresh! Also a chance to backup your files.

I had to backup everything for a format and install the other day - this is all I had to reinstall...
