I decided to try and install the Alpha version once more.
Accordingly I exited the current stable version from the tray, and installed the Alpha version.
I checked the Task Manager and found two instances of FARR running!
Here is the screen shot:

Latest FARR v2.00.140 ALPHA PREVIEW Release - Aug 15, 2007

Yet there is no icon of FARR in the system tray!
Clicking on Start/Programs/FARR does not do anything  >:(

Please help!!

Farr won't start if it is already active. Instead it will try and activate the farr window. So all the problems you are having is becaues you have a hidden farr running.

Now there can be several reasons why this is the case:
* more than one user is logged on and more than one is running farr.
* I have had some problems before when I merged the startup of all users with the current user startup. Have you fiddled with startup disble/enable software?

Also diagnose the problem: reboot your computer, making sure farr does not start up immediate, is farr running in the task manager? 0 or more?
start farr. How many instances are running now? 1 or more?
restore farr to boot with your pc if you had set this up before these tests. now restart your pc again: how many instances of farr are running? 1 or more?
start farr. How many instances are running now? 1 or more?

This will diagnose if there is a configuration problem on your pc or if it is a farr bug.

I am running FARR on my PC at work and on my PC at home.
When I am at home, the PC at work is turned off, and when at work, the PC at home is turned off.
I am the only user for both PC’s. I am the Administrator for the PC at home. I have a Guest account
which is permanently turned OFF.
In effect, only one account is being used at any given time.

There is no problem using the Alpha version of FARR on the PC at work.
And there's no problem using the stable version of FARR on the PC at home.

I have not fiddled with the software - I don't know how!  ;D

PC at home running the stable v1.13.02:

When I start the PC with FARR set up to simultaneously start, there is only one instance of it running in the Task Manager.
FARR icon is also present in the system tray.
Right clicking on the icon, the ‘About’ shows that I am running v1.13.02

I then reset FARR not to start at the PC’s next boot up.
The PC is then restarted.
There is no icon in the tray and there is no instance of it running in the Task Manager.

So far everything is good!

PC at home running the Alpha v2.0.0.82:

I exit FARR v1.13.02  from the system tray,
On checking, find that there is no instance of it running in the Task Manager.
The Alpha version of FARR is then installed.
After installation, I find the FARR icon is NOT present in the system tray.
However, the Task Manager shows me that I am running one instance!
Finding FARR is NOT set up to start up in Start/Run/msconfig/startup, I check
the startup entry check box and then restart the PC once more.

Here’s what is happening after I restart the PC:

The msconfig /start up shows that the entry for starting up FARR is checked.
Task Manager shows one instance of FARR running.
But still no icon of FARR in the system tray.

I truly appreciate all your help and hope I've answered all your queries.
Thanks again!

Jay

Great that sounds good. The thing is I am not sure if you should run both the alpha and the stable on the same computer. A lot of things have changed. Maybe someone else can say for definite.
