Glowy Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 How did u try to add the program?by making a shortcut in the startup folder or in the registry?or maybe placing te .exe directly in the startup folder.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtremeMaC Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 go to hklm\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run and manually add that program...this type of thing can be a spyware etc.. scan & remove.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowy Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 @DarakLeafXtremeMaC has got a point there.. maybe it's a wise thing to check.run Spybot S&D or Spywareblaster (both freeware) to see if there is spyware or a pest in your system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarakLeaf Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 In MSConfig; One has location has Startup and the same program says location Common startup.By manually add i meant, i used Reg Cleaner to add the file into the registry.It was in the registry, but cannot find a DLL file.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
