    Hi,

    Tried double-clicking on a program I have installed which I have used before, on my desktop, but it won't open for me, the can starts flashing like it is trying to open the program but it won't open

    Is there a way to force-open a program ?

    TIA

    What are you trying to open? Some programs will 'hang' or not open at all if you click on them multiple times.

    Open Task Manager (right click on task bar down the bottom of the screen and select it). Click the processes tab and click once on name to sort alphabetically. If there are multiple instances of the program then just right click and End Process on each and try to open the program again.

    Hi,

    It was Samsung Kies (which is rubbish software anyways) ! I went to task manager and ended the 3 processes that were related to this program and it has opened up !

    Your a star

    No worries! I use MyPhoneExplorer (http://www.fjsoft.at/en/). Not sure if that's only for Sony Ericssons though.
