| 53996 | 2002-06-12 06:12:00 | I can't find any obvious reason why Ontrack Powerdesk's file manager (a replacement file manager to ME's own Explorer) opens spontaneously when I boot WinME. It is not in any start-up group. Sometimes one Powerdesk window appears, at other times two - one for each of my hard drives. What would cause this? Any suggestions to fix it very much appreciated. Powerdesk is usually well-behaved. |

| 53997 | 2002-06-12 06:22:00 | go start run type the below C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSCONFIG.EXE then look in the start up tab that way you can see what is starting. Just be careful with the rest Regards Ro GER |

| 53998 | 2002-06-12 06:31:00 | Thanks - but that was one of the first places I looked. No sign of errant behaviour there. | Guest (0) | ||
| 53999 | 2002-06-13 23:22:00 | After a lot of hand-wringing, hair-tearing and troubleshooting regarding this problem, what appears to have fixed it is the uninstallation of all drivers and associated software to do with an AipTek USB graphics tablet I purchased about a month ago from Imaging Technology. The tablet came with a suite of software by an outfit called Pensoft. When I first viewed the software (on CD) I was suspicious of it and surprised how inept and klutsy it was during installation, including its bad documentation. However eventually I installed it and promptly forgot about it. Until yesterday. My double Explorer/Powerdesk windows and screen freezes on boot up have magically disappeared. Whew! I hope this helps someone struggling with the same problem. |
