Hi. . .

That is interesting in itself. Are you running AutoRuns at an elevated admin level (right-click/ run as admin)? AutoRuns should take less than a minute to bring up, if not less.

If no luck w/elevated level - boot into safemode & run it there.

Try the Windows Installer Cleanup utility on Adaware -

Look in system services for adaware - disable it for now if you can -
START | services.msc | 2x-click on adaware service STOP, change to disable

Not a button pusher? What do you do for fun then? Nothing more relaxing than a game of "..what happens if I click on this exe file.."! My favorite. Lost last time. Re-installed Vista x64.

Regards. . .

JC
