How do I get RivaTuner to start....

How do I get RivaTuner to start in Vista without any trouble from Windows Defender??

It keeps blocking it...:|

Don't you have to turn UAC off to enable RT in vista? Well what i did was goto control panel, then user accounts, and then turned off UAC to enable Rivatuner. GLuck, though you may have to fiddle with a few more settings.

I seem to think that I did that before to enable both RivaTuner and BOINC (SETI) but I don't remember clearly.

It might not be very helpful to you, Cheex, but I just disabled both the Defender and the UAC.

I just trust that my Norton Internet Security 2007 with the new Win Patrol (new features including the Keylogger detection in v. 14) will keep me safe.

Why not manually opening RivaTuner to overclock each time you are going to play? I have to do this since most games work at my default OC but some games like Civilization IV lock up the computer and I have to revert to a lighter overclock.

It's not a big deal anyways, you just open the app and move a few sliders.

Did this a while back, all I had to do was step one (which is an entirely different thread).

Found the answer to my vista start-up thing by googling


Remove the startup app that is offending by:

Start----Run----and type in msconfig.exe

Go to STARTUP Tab and remove the app that is blocked by Vista noting on a sheet of paper where the program is run from. If the program app is run from the startup menu, then just go to Start---All Program Files---Startup Folder and remove the app there.

After removing the app, create a app Task using the Task Schedule with full VISTA blessed permission by following the instructions below:

1. Launch the Task Scheduler
Example: Start Menu ? All Programs ? Accessories ? System Tools

2. From the Actions panel on the right, select Create Task...
a. Give the app a name of your choice in the "Name Section"

3. Go to the Security Options on the General tab
a. Select an user account with administrative privileges
b. Select the radio button Run only when user is logged on
c. Check the box Run with highest privileges

4.Go to the Triggers tab and click New...
a. In Begin the task, select At log on
b. In the Settings options, select All users
c. In the Advanced Settings options, check the box Enabled
d. Click OK to close the dialog

5. Go to the Actions tab and click New...
a. For Action, select Start a program
b. In the Settings options, browse for the Program/Script you want to execute on
startup
c. Click OK to close the dialog

6. Go to the Settings tab
a. Check the box Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed
b. Uncheck the box Stop the task if it runs longer than

7. Make any other desired settings

8. Click OK to save and close the task properties


What this will now accomplish is that once and for all your non-VISTA apps will run at windows startup with full permission and therefore the blocked programs alert on the bottom right tray of the desktop will disappear for ever (Vista is happy).

NOTE: If you have an app that reappears in the STARTUP in MSCONFIG...you will need to uncheck in the application itself to stop running at startup. VISTA will give that blocked message if you don't stop it from running at startup as a non-vista app. What our aim is to stop the program from loading at startup and run the program through the TASK Scheduler with full Vista blessing ( the workaround).

Thanks for the replies guys but the solution was as simple as ever...

I did not have to disable Windows Defender but all I did was to turn off the UAC.

Since I've done that, both RivaTuner and BOINC run at startup with no issues.



Thanks again...:beer:
