Cannot start Ares patched YR

[eva-251]

I click my Syringe shortcut with target "C:\Westwood\RA2\Syringe.exe "gamemd.exe" -LOG -nologo" or execute the RunAres.bat file. According to Windows Task Manager, gamemd.exe pops up for about 3-4 seconds and promptly disappears. It consumes either 5888 or 5896 KB of memory in the brief time it runs.

This just started happening recently- I ran YR w/Ares without issue about 2-3 weeks ago. There has been no change in my mods, game installation or version of Ares (until today, when I updated to the 858 revision)


I uploaded the syringe.log, but besides that, I don't know of anything else I can provide to help those that can assess the situation, besides OS and anti-virus-
Windows 7 64bit
Comodo Internet Security Premium- which is of particular relevance, as I may have still had McAfee (free trial) when I last ran YR w/Ares.

edit: I checked Event Viewer, and got two relevant entries:
