Guest Ken Triebold Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Every time I boot up, User Account Control pops up and asks me if I want to allow this program to run "PSDiagnostic.exe". This program has to do with the functionality of my wireless print server and it needs to run or the printer on my print server will not function. If I allow the program to run everything is fine, but I would rather not have to be bothered with this during every boot up. I know I can disable User Account Control to avoid this, but is there a way I can leave User Account Control active and still allow this program to run automatically during boot up? Like is there a list of exceptions that I could add it to? Quote

It worked like a charm. Quote

Guest Copecabra Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Hello, Charlie42; The fix worked, thank you! I wouldn't say it worked like a charm, though, as it was a contorted and convoluted way to deal with what should have been a simple matter to be able to fix WITHIN the OS. MS still has a way to go in terms of usability and friendliness.

Guest VirginiaJim Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Unfortunately, as of Jun 26, Knowledge base reports that this article is no longer available. SO, I still need a solution that allows a non-signature older program to run without asking EVERY TIME I try to run it whether I really want to run it. How can I permanently and once for all tell the system that the program is ok?

Guest lhawkred Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I am having the same problem. I'd rather not disable user account control, but I have a program I really want to come up on start up and not have to give it permission every time. -- lhawkred Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com Quote

It's WD that's stopping it and is wanting approval, because it doesn't see it as a program that can run at Start-up. If the program doesn't need Run As Administrator and you have it enabled, then disable it. Quote
Guest lhawkred Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Mr. Arnold, Thanks for your reply, but I am not using Windows defender as my firewall. My e-mail came with Windows Live One Care which has its own firewall. So far I have not found a way to get into it to change settings. lhawkred -- lhawkred Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com Quote
