If I manually run as-watch there is not a problem. Any ideas? This post has been edited by Pagemakers: Jun 29 2005, 08:38 PM

I will try to get someone more experienced to assist you. |

This very same problem happens to me, although its more like 80-100% of the time.
I have AVG antivirus and ZoneAlarms. Both are also configured to launch at startup. When I click on the report error, microsoft tells me that its a problem with ad-watch and that they're aware of it and yada yada. Anyone have a fix or is this happeneing to everyone? |

Well, this isn't a fix, but it works. If you set ad-watch to NOT boot up on starup, and then drag the icon of ad-watch into your startup folder of your start menu, it should work. Though it won't miniminze automatically to the tray, at least it opens up right away so i remember to use spyware protection.
