Program runs only in the background for a few minutes, then stops

C

Hi, I'm using 64-bit Windows 10 and I've been trying to get this program I downloaded to work (TapCleanFE), but it never shows up as a window or in the taskbar like a program should, and instead of showing up in Task Manager as an app, it runs as a background process for no more than about 2 minutes and ends itself, no matter what I have tried so far.


I have tried the following, all to no avail:

  • Reinstalled the program several times
  • Ran the program as administrator and in Windows XP (Service Pack 3) compatibility mode (because it is a 32-bit program)
  • Reinstalled the runtime environment that it requires (GTK+ 2.24.31) several times
  • Ran System File Checker (SFC /scannow) in Command Prompt (there were corrupted system files that it repaired but it still made no difference)
  • Restarted several times, including as a clean boot


I know that it is not the program's fault because I installed the program and runtime environment on a friend's 64-bit Windows 10 computer and it started up successfully on the first try without running as administrator or using any compatibility mode and worked perfectly, but I cannot figure out what my own computer's issue with this program is and I'm running out of options for trying to fix it. It is not a vital program at all and I don't need to use it in my daily life, but it is a very useful program for a project of mine and would really like to be able to use it. I should mention that to my knowledge, it is the only program I have come across so far that has had this issue. If more information is necessary, I would be happy to provide it, and I thank you in advance for the advice.
