New Member Posts: 9 OS: XP2	I have ad-watch set to run when windows starts, but 50% of the time ad-watch crashes on start up. 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 Attached thumbnail(s)

	I personally am not experienced with Ad-watch, I will try to get someone more experienced to assist you.

New Member Posts: 3 OS: Windows XP SP2	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?

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.
