Directory Opus won't launch lister

Hello,

So a quick search of the forums has not shown me any other posts with this issue, so I figured I would ask.

Directory Opus is set to replace Explorer on my machine (windows 7 x64). Within the last 2 days, it ha suddenly stopped responding when I attempt to open a new lister (double-click on my computer, right click options, nada).

I can see the Directory Opus helper app,listed in both Task Manager and process explorer, but I don't see the tray icon anymore. In addition, when I do try to start a lister, the dopus.exe process starts (I can now see that as well) but nothing else happens.

I have used process explorer and process monitor to examine all the running threads attached to both exe's, I have uninstalled and re-installed Directory Opus, but nothing has worked.

Have not made any major updates on last 2 days, no new software (except for some DLC for a couple games), have verified that my anti-virus and anti-malware programs both are compatible, so I am at a loss.

Love the program, rally would like it working again. Any help, pointers, whatever appreciated.

Thanks

What happens if you run Opus via the Start Menu?
