I have been running BBC iplayer desktop on my Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop successfully for about 6months. It is Running Vista(HP) sp2 2Gb RAM. That is until yesterday. I had left it overnight to download a couple of programs and yesterday morning checked to see if it had completed, it had without problem. I then did a bit of clearing up on the computer, I am fairly sure that I did not delete anything significant to BBC iplayer, I then added the laptop to my home network, after the restart trying to start iplayer from the desktop shortcut, just resulted in the timer running for 5secs or so and nothing further. I tried to start the program several different ways, right clicking then run, also tried going direct to the folder with the program and starting it from there with the same result. I did a restore to a point before yesterday, no joy, I then uninstalled the program and re-installed it, but that made no difference either. Also for info, it appears that it is only iplayer that is affected, all the other shortcuts work and start the selected programs without a problem. Any advice on what I can do to resolve the problem would be gratefully appreciated.
