Any ideas? Windows OnceCare and SlimServer definitely do not get along at startup, which is unfortunate, because OneCare is the best behaving, most seamless and least resource sapping antivirus package I've come across.
Fortunately, it's an addressable issue. After a little research, I found that it's possible to force a service to load after other service(s) by adding a DependOnService REG_MULTI_SZ value to it Registry key. I did so to the slimsvc key. I added this text to ensure these services load before slimsvc: ALG MpFilter msfwsvc MSFWHLPR nla SSDPSRV TermService WinDefend Most of those services are related to OneCare and there are a few otheres thrown in for good measure. -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29591 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
