Some programs won't start and causes PC to stop from shutting down

[mod_desolator]

Sup ppl?

Some of my programmes won't launch, and when they don't launch, they create a process in the process list and prevents my PC from shutting down.
I can't kill the process with Task Manager, and KillBox won't kill some of them either.

Sorry for a post like this, but can someone please analyze this "HiJackThis" log file for me please and help me solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

By the way...

c:\x___x\tb.exe is for a programme called Magic Folders, it makes folders completely invisible or visible with a password. I've been using it for years, i'm sure it has nothing to do with my problem.

Any executable that has to do with installing or uninstalling an application fails to launch, but their process still shows up in Task Manager and cannot be killed, so I guess that's why I can't shutdown my PC, cause the process won't end. If I don't try to run aly apps like those, I don't encounter this problem.

Hope that helps...
