Hi,
Thanks for the reply...its back working again...I have Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit sp-1 I had Norton 360 deleted all of it with their tool. don't know any thing about the Microsoft visual C ++ .
The AVAST Internet Security, op version is the 8.0.1489 , virus definitions 130724-1. The shortcut didn't work yesterday, I went ito the 86 program and tried to open there...nothing...it works fine now...not sure why it did what it did. Glad its showing in the icon area and it updated like normal..
Thanks for looking and asking.
