SH3 exe suddenly stopped working??

I am at a loss as to explain or fix this.

Three days ago, SH3 ran fine. My other install, with GWX Gold, ran fine, too.

Today, when I click on the sh3.exe file to run the sim...I get zip! Nothing. Nada. Not even a CTD...It's like I never even clicked the icon. This is happening with both installs.

I'm running the no-starforce version. (The one in the two-disk set that has SH2 and SH3 on two different disks.) So It's patched up to 1.4.0.1 and the GWX is on a mirror-build of that.

I run Win7 64, NVidia GeForce 9400 GT card, standard monitor. (Not even a flat screen!...Just a big CRT.)

I have been up-and-down the forums and the rest of the internet for about 6 hours, trying to get this fixed.
I also now have a third, fresh, vanilla install, and the same thing occurs. I even put the original disk back in the drive....still no joy.

Anyone know about this kind of bug before?
