How To Unblock a Start Up Program
There's an application program called 'fix.exe' that Startup keeps blocking
everytime I switch on my laptop. There are no description or publisher information and the startup type is 'Registry: Local Machine'. The program is located in the Windows folder on my C: I can't do anything from Startup Program caused the options 'Remove / Disable / Enable' are greyed out.. Please advise me what to do.. Secondly, I've upgraded my Nero 7 to 8 and there are 2 options in the AutoPlay menu that are were uninstalled along with Nero 7. I've tried uninstalling Nero 8 and when the AutoPlay pop up, all the options of Nero 8 were still there.. How do I delete unwanted options from the AutoPlay menu ? I'm running on Vista Home Premium.. Appreciate if anyone could teach me how to solve these.. Thank you

How To Unblock a Start Up Program
Hi,
I don't think I'd unblock a program that I don't know anything about. That is not a standard entry and if anything, I would remove the reference that's trying to load it in the first place. At a guess, I'd say that Windows Defender is probably blocking it, and you should be able to check in the software explorer tool that is part of it. As to the Roxio software, try this tool: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/U...oxio-Zap.shtml -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "NotMathWiz" wrote in message ...

How To Unblock a Start Up Program
OP states "fix.exe", not "cafix.exe."
And, I stated, "possibly" which may explain why Defender is blocking it. "Charles W Davis" wrote in message ...

How To Unblock a Start Up Program
Try this.. -Open the Start Menu -In the search box type msconfig and hit enter -Then the UAC should ask you for permission. Go ahead and click continue -The System Configuration box should appear -Click the STARTUP tab -In that list, look for the application that is causing you trouble, and see if it is enabled. -If it is not enabled, enable it, and then restart and see if that fixes the problem Hope this helps -- maher77
