NOD32 no longer auto starts on Windows startup?

[mr greek]

Hi All:

For some reason NOD32 no longer auto starts when Windows is restarted.

Is there a switch in NOD32 that specifies that NOD32 starts up whenever Windows is started??

Thanks.

Please reinstall NOD32 as described HERE

Cheers

Guys:

The problem I have is that sometimes when I start my WinXP PC, it appears that NOD32 has not automatically loaded upon startup.
I don't know why this happens.
Once it get in this state, it is impossible (from my experience) to make NOD32 load automatically.

Can someone who really understand how NOD32 works {{... unfortunately I do not }} please explain what should be in place if NOD32 has automatically started properly upon startup:

QUESTION No1:
If NOD32 starts up properly, should there be a NOD32 icon in the bottom right hand corner area?

QUESTION No2:
If NOD32 starts up properly, what processes should be active and running when I go to WINDOWS TASK MANAGER > PROCESSES TAB?
( ie how many NOD32 related processes and what are they called )

QUESTION No3:
If NOD32 starts up properly, what else is there that tells me that everything is working as it should ?
( eg should I also look at START > CONTROL PANEL > ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS > SERVICES ? )

QUESTION No4
If NOD32 is failing to automatically start upon Windows startup, is it acceptable to rectify this by just using a "STARTUP MANAGER" utility and then manually adding an entry to the startup routine as per screen capture below:

When Nod32 loads on startup, the Nod32 control center icon should be in your system tray. If you double click the icon then you can check that all the modules are blue (running) & not red (stopped).

All running:

One process stopped

The running processes should be nod32krn.exe & nod32kui.exe

Yes

NOD32KRN.EXE and NOD32KUI.EXE

"If NOD32 is failing to automatically start upon Windows startup"....you possibly would see a message entry via eventvwr.msc /s

Edit
What Biscuit said and I have also merged the thread you started this AM with this ongoing thread concerning this matter.

Thanks for the detailed response.

Just letting you know that this does not always work.

What I have ended up doing, is to manually modify the Windows Startup routine to include an additional startup item pointing to:
C:\Program Files\ESET\nod32kui.exe

I am no expert, and therefore not sure if this is "sufficient" to resolve the issue, but it appears to have worked.

Once again, many thanks for going to detail in your responses.

You are welcome.
