Programs do not run... no error, just don't run

WinXp Pro. Programs install just fine, no errors or anything.
Double click the short, the program attempts to run (ie see splash
screens) and then nothing. Event Log doesn't show anything. This
doesn't happen to all programs, but does happen on some.

The former consultant knew some work around, but I've never seen this
and I'm honestly at a loss.
 
It might help us more, if you told us what programs you
have installed that are doing this.

Thanks!

What does a scan with your current antivirus (using updated definitions)
show? After you've confirmed that your system is clean, please post
back with more details for specific help.

Not a virus problem, got SAVCE running on the domain. There isn't
much more to add really. Programs starts to run then quits. No
errors, no hangs, no freezes, nothing.

Are there any clues in Event Log? Again, what programs are not running -
specific ones or *all* of them? Without knowing more about your setup,
it's really hard to say. What about spyware? Although you've got an av
running on the domain, perhaps your workstation has picked up some
spyware. Certain of these types of programs will prevent normal
computer operation. Are the programs you are trying to run coming off
the server or are they installed locally? Is this a home network with a
few boxen or business network? What os is the server running?
