Blocked Program

P

I have a program that's supposed to start when I boot into Windows (Vista
Home Premium, SP2). However, I get a message that says it's blocked -
so, I have to go in and unblock it manually. Is there any way I can set
it so it unblocks (or doesn't block at all) by itself?

Given this response I can't resist...
Did you even consider putting your question into a search engine?
I put "how to unblock a program at startup" into a google search and got a
gazillion hits anyone of which you could consider.

I agree - you're absolutely right. My problem is chronic head pain I've
had for about 10 years now. I have it every day and, being in the head,
I can't concentrate or think straight. I even had to retire early
because of it. Hence, I often overlook Google. I accept you're comment
as constructive.

I tried this and received an error message which read: "The task image
is corrupt or has been tampered with. GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA."

I Googled this message and didn't get much in return. What now?

It could be that Task Scheduler exe is corrupted. You can do a System
File Check on Vista so that the O/S replaces the exe if it's corrupted.

I've tried the SFC - but it only goes to about 53% then stops. I haven't
been able to get a handle on this problem.

Get rid of that scheduled task and manually update your Google installed
applications?

As far as I can tell, that's not a scheduled task. How can I be sure?

Things are corrupted it seems if the scan can't complete. I suggest that
if you have an O/S install DVD that you boot off of it and use the
"repair" option.

You may have to reinstall the O/S if want to correct some corruption
problems you may be having.

It looks like you mistakenly edited an existing task (Google Updater) instead of creating
a new task.
What is the program you want to run at start-up?

The name of the program is WeFi.

On the Startup Programs tab click the Add button. You will need to enter the
path of the program executable you want to add.

......and I won't have to unblock it at every startup? Why not?
