Mr. Arnold said:What do you mean? Is it being blocked at system Start-up for execution? Or
do you mean the file is downloaded and Vista is blocking so you cannot
install the software? If it's the later of the two, then use Explorer,
find the file, right-click the fine and use the Unblock button.
sdgreen said:But where does one fine the 'unblock' button. the s/w is installed but
always Ultimate reports such is blocked and I must check the "blocked'
button in the task bar to start same which then comes up with the Vista
notice to proceed. I can not find any button that says 'unblock'. or
anything that remotely looks like 'run normally'.
Mr. Arnold said:We're talking two different things.
This is what I am talking about with that Unblock button which not
applicable in this situation.

Again, how is the program being started. Is it at system boot and login
that the program is being started and Vista is blocking it or it it
because you are clicking on some desktop icon and it being blocked before
you tell it ok let it run?
It seems that the problem is when you login to the computer and Vista
tries to auto start the program.
sdgreen said:Precisely. Vista Ultimate always indicates the Boincmgr program is blocked
as indicated in the little blocked icon in the task bar. Yet I can see
nothing in the properties of the exe file that would indicate that it is
blocked.
==Mr. Arnold said:I don't know in what context the word precisely is being used.
Well if at system startup and login , I had the same problem with a
program called CurrPorts that I put a short-cut for it in the Startup
folder and Windows Defender blocked it every time at system startup and
login. I had to create an entry in Windows Defender to the short-cut on
the its Start-up tab All Users button that enabled the Add button so that
the entry could be made. It didn't work right away but Vista finally did
recognize it and stopped blocking the program at system boot and login.
You can go to the All Programs and select the Windows Defender line,
right-click/Properties/Advanced and check on RAS so it's set permanently.
You then start WD and go to Tools/Software Explorer, and have at it and
get it to work.

I will give that a try and see what happens. Also running Windows One
Care.
Thanks
sdgreen said:Well that does not work. When I check the properties, there is no such
thing as a 'unblock' button to use.
