Hello,
I have 2 messages that pop up every time I log into Vista Ultimate for software for my touchpad on my laptop. I've added the 2 programs to Windows Firewall exceptions list but this has made no difference. How can I stop these annoying messages popping up? Kol |

Change the blocked programs options in WD. If this guess wasn't accurate, then please supply the exact text of the error messages.

Hi Malke,
If it told me it was Windows Defender or Windows Firewall I would have said but it doesn't. All the dialog box says is "Open File - Security Warning", so could be either. I've added the 2 programs to Windows Defender, yet they still pop up on logging in. :-( Kol "Malke" <notreally@invalid.invalid> wrote in message news:ehUgc0HdHHA.284@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Kolin Tregaskes wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I have 2 messages that pop up every time I log into Vista Ultimate for >> software for my touchpad on my laptop.
