I will run the Application Verifier as suggested by Chuck 2, but whatever the origina -
I have updated all my security programs. AVG scanned and found nothing. Spybot S&D scanned & found only 3 or 4 nuisance tracker cookies, now removed. MBAM quick-scanned & found nothing. On full scan, however, MBAM runs for 28 minutes & 24 seconds, at which time it is scanning installed fonts, and "encounters an error and must close." I remove the font where the scan is when the problem occurs, but the same thing happens with a different font when I start a new scan. I submit the report, which mentions the file C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ace2_appcompat.txt or one in the
