Vista is blocking startup programs
I have a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo. The software that it
uses is SetPoint. This software allows me to customize buttons on the mouse and keyboard. Every time I startup windows, it blocks the startup of SetPoint. I have to tell it to allow the program. Is there a way for me to make Vista always allow the startup of this program? I have constantly run software updates for SetPoint hoping that Logitech will update it so that it doesn't need permission to start, but it doesn't work. The Logitech support was also useless. Thanks in advance. |

Vista is blocking startup programs
HI!
I have this problem with another soft. This is not problem. Safety. when you start your computer, this program (keyboard) make contact with Logitech. So, your computer by safety blocked it. Your windows asks for your permission to liberate the program. when you give permission the responsibility it is your. Microsoft no have responsibility any problem in your computer. You give permission. "Dawg53" escreveu na notÃ*cia da ... I have a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo. The software that it uses is SetPoint.

Check to see if that program has the Run As Admin box checked in Properties,
Compatibility. If yes, uncheck that box. "Dawg53" wrote in message ... I have a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo. The software that it uses is SetPoint.

Thanks in advance. As said by others, it's a safety feature against malware. The way round it is to schedule the program to run at startup or logon but as a "Scheduled Task", which malware can't set up. http://www.jimmah.com/vista/Applicat...n_program.aspx "So... why exactly does Windows block administrative programs from running when I log on? Most programs cause themselves to start every time you log in by placing an entry in your startup folder, your run registry key, or the system-wide startup folder or run key. Because your startup folder and personal run registry key can be written to by non-administrative programs, Windows cannot allow administrative programs that are started from these locations to run without prompting you. This would allow untrusted non-administrative programs to place malware in these locations that would be started with admin privileges when you next logged on. However, it is also unacceptable to allow administrative programs that are started from these locations to prompt for your consent every time you start up your computer. Besides being extremely annoying, a malicous program could potentially put hundreds of malicious administrative programs in these locations, creating an endless series of prompts for you to deal with, creating a denial-of-service scenario. Since neither option is desirable, Microsoft decided to disallow administrative applications from starting automatically from these locations. It would also be inappropriate to allow administrative programs to be launched from the machine-wide startup folder and run registry location, since administrative programs can only be started inside of administrative accounts, or from a standard user account with an administrator's credentials entered on-demand. The reason the task scheduler solution is allowed to work is because non-administrative programs cannot create scheduled tasks, so there is no way for malware to abuse this service in the way that is possible with the other startup methods." -- Yorkshire rules, OK |
