So my computer had been crashing a lot lately and I downloaded RegCure Pro, mainly for the registry cleaner, but one of the things that it does is identify/remove programs that are slowing down your computer. Instead of reviewing the list, I just clicked "Fix All" and later when I went to play SK my shortcut was gone! SK was completely gone from my computer! I thought it was funny that the software thought SK was a harmful program slowing down my computer.

So, I re-downloaded SK and the good news is that I was able to do IMF without the game crashing (after 3 consecutive attempts of the game (not the computer, just the SK) crashing on this mission I had given up on attempting it at all on this computer) and even with evil harfmul SK re-downloaded, my computer has not crashed again (although it's only been a day so far).
