Re: Vista is blocking a program that I want to run

Try this

Start | All Programs | Windows Defender | Tools | Software Explorer

It will probably come under the startup category and you will proabably see it as disabled.

One thing i would advise is to check the software is compatable with Vista

Failing that let me know

Hey everybody,

I'm new to Vista so please be gentle.

Here is the problem, I've installed a start-up monitor, Win patrol, and when I first installed it, I had it set to run at startup, with no problems. I then noticed that I had to run some of my other security programs as administrator by right clicking them and run as administrator in the start-menu, namely Spybot S&D and SpywareBlaster, to get there full protection. I did something similar with WinPatrol, I don't remember exactly what, but now it always comes up that windows has blocked only Win patrol from starting up, and I have to right click the little icon, and click to run Win patrol. My wife may have clicked on something during start-up, while I was at work.

Any ideas how I can get Vista, to release WinPatrol from being denied access to run?

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Eric
