Solved Program Execution on Windows 7 Startup [Problem]

[Colmart]

Hi, I drop a link inside the Program Execution on Windows Startup Folder but that program can't start on startup. Program is this HWiNFO64 Download Do you have an idea? Thanks!

Do you find it on the msconfig's startup page?

Yes it is on msconfig strutup and it's checked

Here is a check-list.

01. Is the program W 7 compatible? Please install it in XP SP3 compatibility mode and see if it works properly.

02. Is it the latest version of the program and designed to run on a 64-bit machine like yours?

03. Does it run properly otherwise.

04. Instead of running from the Start-up Folder, have you tried to run it at start-up by making a suitable additional entry in HKLM or HKCU in the Registry.
Key is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
Data Value for "avast" is = "C:\\Program Files\\AVAST Software\\Avast\\avastUI.exe\" /nogui"

In fact the data value can be lifted from where it is located in the Registry for the Start-up Folder. Moreover as one would be making manual changes in the Registry, extreme caution is necessary as also exporting the Keys including the Values so that they can later be imported if necessary

I am not saying that these tricks would work but they are worth trying out.
