Newgen has stopped working entirely

Yesterday, I was mapping as normal. Wasn't doing any fancy - wansn't modifying files, wasn't messing things I shouldn't be.
I save and exit newgen, an hour later I decide to get back to work on it.

The shortcut wouldn't work - Which is strange because I was only doing modeling work in 3dmax during my 'break'. This is the first time it's ever done this.
I searched several forums - while not finding my problem, I found a workaround. By using we.bat I could jumpstart newgen.

This worked for 3-4 times. Than, that too stopped working. It showed the blackbox half a second and stopped entirely.


So, I decided to 'reinstall' newgen. Searched the computer clean for every file which could be associated with newgen. Than I used CCleaner to clean up the registries and delete the recycle bin.
Downloaded 1.5b, installed into computer>user>username

Try the shortcut - nothing.
Try we.bat - get an error message.

So, what could be the problem? While it's likely I could go back 2 days on a recovery, I want to find the bottom of this problem. What happened? Did my virus software (webroot) become self aware and decided it'd be fun to piss me off?

When something like this happened to me, it was because my antivirus decided to delete a file of newgen's without telling me. Reinstalling JNGP fixed it right up, so I'd recommend that.

Yup - seems webroot did become self aware and decide to piss me off.

Thankfully, webroot is very helpful in telling me what items are what in the quarantine. "Malware" is such a great description.

Disabled webroot and - it starts up. Thanks for the help rising!

My pleasure.
