I just built a new PC for some friends using WinXP Home SP2.

I created 3 Users and ran all of the appropriate Windows Updates before
installing F-Prot for Windows 3.16F.

The problem I'm having is F-Prot's Real Time Scanner and Updater don't
load for all of the users.

I can go into F-Prot and click on Real Time Scanner and it will load
along with Updater when I reboot into that user but they turn off in the
other 2 Users.

I ended up setting up Administrator but it's only accessible in Safe
Mode. Do I need to reinstall F-Prot using the Administrator account or
what?

Any ideas?

Yes, that's exactly what's happening. In the next post Zvi has
instructions to eliminate the problem.... Thanks

I practice Safe Hex and use fine tuned Win98SE systems most of the time.
When I do encounter a problem with 98 I can easily fix it where it can
take hours or even days to repair an NT system.

I have XP Pro on several laptops for wireless compatibility and I run
Win2k on my engineering PC for software compatibility.
