Whenever I try to launch Applian Director, it always pops up a message box saying: "Applian Director is already running. Click OK to open it." However, it is not actually running, at least not in any way I recognize! And when I click "OK", nothing happens!

There's no process running with a name similar to 'director.exe'. Here's a list of the running processes in alphabetical order (I'm running 32-bit XP Pro/SP3):

alg.exe
aspnet_state.exe
ati2evxx.exe
avconfig.exe
avgnt.exe
avguard.exe
avshadow.exe
CCC.exe
cmdagent.exe
csrss.exe
dldocoms.exe
dldomon.exe
dmadmin.exe
explorer.exe
IAStorDataMgrSvc.exe
IAStorIcon.exe
Iconoid.exe
iduServ.exe
lsass.exe
LSSrvc.exe
mdm.exe
MOM.exe
RTHDCPL.EXE
sched.exe
services.exe
smss.exe
spoolsv.exe
svchost.exe (x 8; i.e., there are 8 of these running)
System
System Idle Process
UtMsgAgt.exe
winlogon.exe
WinPatrol.exe
wmiprvse.exe


I recognize all of those, and don't see anything that could be 'director.exe', even in disguise, unless director runs as one of the "svchost.exe" processes. Is that true?

Please help me identify Applian Director's process name, or tell me why it thinks it's running when it actually isn't.

Thanks!
