Won't start in system tray

[chooky]

Process Tamer used to start in the system with no configure window showing now every time it starts I have to close the configure window. Any way of fixing this?

never heard of this problem.. can you try deleting any process tamer entries from the start menu and confirming that PT does not start automatically when you boot.  then try running it manually and confirm it doesnt show config when it starts.  then if all that works, check the option saying to start with windows and see if that happens ok.

I moved ProccessTamer out of the startup folder. Rebooted and ProccessTamer did not start. I then started it from the desktop and the config screen came up. Running ProcessTamerTray.exe directly from Windows Explorer gives the same result. ProcessTamerTray.exe is 212KB.
This is the target from the shortcut.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ProcessTamer\ProcessTamerTray.exe"
Changing the run Normal window or Minimized makes no difference.

Here is ProcessTamer.ini

Weird isn't it?

sounds like there is a configuration in your nvidia nview controlling how process tamer configurator is displayed.. maybe that has something to do with it.  look in your nvidia config and remove any setting for it maybe.

question: have you put in a license key yet? check the about box.. maybe if license is expired this will happen.

 if not try putting one in from: https://www.donation...r.com/Keys/index.php

I reinstalled with a new key unfortunatelty this did not fix anything. I think the nvidia entry in the registry is just to say it isn't doing anything with it.

So what is telling ProcessTamerConfigurator.exe to run?
