Ok, I was using my computer once, and I had Ares, Gaim, and MS Paint, oh and photoshop open. Then my computer shut down, now, whenever I try to open Gaim or MS Paint, it says "This program has encountered an error and has to close" And they will never open. But Ares and Photoshop still work fine, does anyone know how to fix this?

Do you need Windows updates or are any of your drivers out of date?
