Continuum startup bug

[Guest markmid]

Can anyone confirm or deny that either of the latest versions of peerguardian and or Kaspersky Antivirus work with the continuum client.

 

I have a program thats blocking contiuum from loading. If I check antivir ( a seperate utility) I see the program trying to load, failing, then trying to load another copy. Even though the tries are closed, over time this results in many, many copies trying to fire and several running at the same time.

 

I have had continuum running when I remove all my resident programs and thus I am seeking someone else to confirm or deny whether either or both of these programs conflict or run with continuum.

 

Your specs would be helpful too.

 

Thank you in advance,

Mark

Try disabling each, one at a time, and seeing when Continuum runs without problems. That should confirm/deny your suspicions.

Unfortunately this was the first thing I tried. When windows has been running for a little while doing this (even disabling both) does nothing to help.

 

When I have just started windows disabling everything seems to fix the problem but I have been unable to diagnose exactly which piece of software is the one causing the 'blocking' the exe bug, the problem seems usually there but occasionally not so.

 

I have tried running continuum in windows 2000 compatibility mode but I get an error when doing so.

 

So with that mixed message I return to my original request: Can anyone confirm or deny if either or both of these programs conflict or can be run with the continuum client. It would be extremely helpful to have an external tester, with a separate system, verifying this for me.

 

Thanks for your time.

Sorry missed my username, the last post was the same OP.

Never heard of those programs, but I can verify that most software that has some sort of tcp/ip, netbios, udp, etc ... connection has trouble if any software virus/worm/firewall is not configured appropriately. You can usually turn these off by going into Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services.

 

If I had to make an educated guess I would say that Kaspersky Security Suite may cause issues, while the regular Anti-Virus portion should not. PeerGuardian2 shouldn't cause any trouble if it is just fancy hosts.deny functionality. If you do have the security suite hopefully Kaspersky allows you to manually configure "allowed" programs. If not, then you'll want to disable it completely using the method above.
