Hey, just started getting the problem where continuum.exe continually kills itself and relaunches but never opens. I'm on Windows XP SP3 with patches up to date. I've uninstalled pretty much everything from the system that could be resident in memory and scanning processes, disabled automatic start up of everything non-windows, disabled DEP both by adding continuum.exe to the exception list, and after that didn't work added /NoExecute=AlwaysOff to boot.ini to disable DEP completely Changed the max frames to render ahead to 0 in nvidia control panel. Tested all compatibility modes from continuum.exe properties and tried Run As... No luck with anything so far. Really don't feel like reformatting - anyone have anything else to check? Here is a snapshot of my task manager: http://i40.tinypic.com/1z70adi.jpg I've attached my HijackThis log, of note is that all services listed in the log are set to Manual so they're not starting up when I boot. hijackthis.log
