ClipMate Killed My Machine

So I installed ClipMate 7 yesterday, an application I have sworn by for years. Clipmate is software that allows you to expand your cut & paste clipboard where you can have multiple items on it. I have used the application to provide email support for years, but after I installed it yesterday:
1. My menu was blank under Start > Programs.
2. Internet Explorer failed to launch. It would do nothing when I tried.
3. Firefox took up 50% of my CPU time even when open on a blank page.
4. After restarting, it changed my Windows theme back to an old theme I used to use.
I didn’t think people made software like this except AOL these days. Luckily I was able to uninstall the application and things returned to normal.

I’ve had problems like that before, I uninstalled an older version of photoshop, and it corrupted my wireless keyboard driver. I had to do a system restore date. It was very frustrating. Nice post man.

I have been using clipmate for years on a Windows XP SP2 machine without so much as a hint of any problem. It sounds to me as though you have computer issues unrelated to the basic clipmate program per se.
