System=XP SP2
I have a program that refuses to automatically start and complete when XP
starts. I have tried the obvious and some not-so-obvious solutions and now I
am in need of some expert help.
Here's the scenario:
When I click on the desktop icon, the program starts and runs just fine. If
I go to the program folder and click on the program.exe file, it starts and
runs just fine. If I put a shortcut to the Start->Programs->Startup folder
and reboot, the program will start and hang. I have made sure that all folder
permissions are correct, but still no help.
The problem is not having the program start, as it does that, it is having
the programs that this one calls start up. At least, that is what I think is
happening.
It is almost like an old shell problem that wouldn't execute more than x
number of levels down the tree unless it was called directly.
Bottom line is that this software is worthless to me if I can't get it to
run when XP boots.
Any ideas?
