General Computer Support / Adverts appearing on the forum

« on: January 16, 2015, 08:57:08 pm »

Hello Shane, one of the adverts is linked to ZWinky. I have run Superantispyware and Avast Free , scanned the registry etc and still getting the adverts. More of a pest but don't recall how it occurred. I have unchecky installed and I do check and decline attachments to a downloaded file if I do not want them. WOT shows the Zwinky site as being iffy. Thanks.

General Computer Support / W7 Taskbar Icons

« on: January 15, 2015, 02:04:22 pm »

Hello all, on patch Tuesday 13th I installed the microsoft security files and the .net framework 4.5.2 file onto my wife's W7 Home Premium 64 bit computer. Prior to these updates icons set as "show icons and notifications" appeared as such in the taskbar. After the updates they now get automatically set as "only show notifications" and are found in the box upon clicking on the small triangle on the taskbar. Resetting back to the first setting ensures they appear in the taskbar but only to disappear again on a restart /bootup. I think it may be something to do with the .net Framework file but do not want to uninstall it as there are no previous versions available to fall back on as I think that W7 deletes previous versions when updating to a higher version. I Googled the problem but cannot find information on how to get the required icons to stay in the taskbar. Upon installing the Vista 32 bit counterpart updates onto my computer the icons on my taskbar remain as per before the updates. Has anyone experienced taskbar icons disappearing after Tuesday 13th updates?

General Computer Support / Re: Nexus Ultimate

I have just received a response from Winstep Support.  I had already ensured the compatability and Nexus preferences startup settings were unticked but the problem still exists. Here is the response:

The reason none of the other users replied is because this is not a problem with the application per se (i.e,; none of them have seen it before), but something to do with HOW the application is being launched at start up. Probably something you did by accident or something else interacting with Nexus Ultimate.
For instance, reading back on your emails, you ended up figuring out that the Access Violation error you were getting was caused by buggy context menu handlers. These context menu handlers are provided by 3rd party applications but run within the process of the application that invokes them - if they are buggy and crash, they take down the host application with it as well (in this case, Nexus Ultimate). So, even though the error seems to be a bug in Nexus Ultimate, it really is a bug in a 3rd party application.
Worse, since it is something specific to your system and the software installed in it, figuring out exactly what is causing a crash like this can sometimes be a trial-and-error nightmare - and normally only the user himself can figure it out.
Regarding this particular UAC problem, at some point, somewhere, you must have specified that the Nexus Ultimate executable needs high privileges to run (e.g.; run this program as an administrator).
The first thing you should do to figure this out is to go to the Winstep folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Winstep\ and right click the nexus-ultimate.exe executable. In the context menu that pops up, select Properties. In the Properties dialog go the Compatibility tab. At the bottom (well, at least under Windows 7 you have this option, don't have Vista here anymore to try this out) there should be a 'Run this program as an administrator' option. Is it checked? If so, there's your culprit, please uncheck it.
If that doesn't work, instead of running Nexus Ultimate via the built-in 'Run at startup' setting, try disabling that setting in Nexus Preferences, and adding a shortcut to Nexus Ultimate in the Startup group of the Start Menu.

Hello Gamerztruth, I did not think it was normal to have to exit Nexus Ultimate and load it up again as I have had the program since 2012 and the problem started to occur about 3 months ago. I even recently updated to v14 from v12 hoping it would have been resolved. I also purchased the program for my wife's Acer Desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit in 2012 and it is still loading without the UAC Prompt panel ever appearing. How long have you had the program installed and did it initially load ok on startup without the UAC prompt panel appearing?

General Computer Support / Nexus Ultimate

« on: December 18, 2014, 06:34:52 pm »

I have the paid version of Nexus Ultimate installed on an Acer desktop with Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Upon boot up a panel, appears see screen grab, which advises me to exit the program and run it again, which I do via a shortcut. I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem and can offer a solution. The program's support service has not responded to my queries and I have also joined the forum hoping for an answer. Although my query has been read 118 times to date I have not has a response from anyone on the forum. I have tried running the program as administrator but that just recycles the advice to exit the program and run it again over and over again. I also tried TweakUAC but that did not resolve the issue. Any advice please?
