NIS 2011 stops working after laptop restart

I have an ongoing problem with NIS 2011.

 

The programme was loaded onto my laptop and was working fine.  Then I found I was unable to open it.  So I unloaded and reloaded it from disk and all was well.  I downloaded the updates and restarted my laptop as required so the updates would work.  Once again I was unable to open the programme.  The icon on the bottom right also disappered.  So just in case I had done something incorrectly, I did it all again.  Same thing.

 

So basically if I want NIS 2011 to work, I can never turn off my laptop.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there a fix?

 

Yours in hope,

Elke
