Run now, will not run...

I have a virus free Windows 98 machine with MS Office and Quick Books Pro on it. I have set up a weekly scheduled scan with Nod32, however, when I right click on the scan in Schedular/Planner> Scheduled Tasks, and click on “run now”, nothing happens. The same scenario works perfectly on XP Machines, is this a Windows 98 bug with Nod32?

I am yet to see if the scan will actually run, will find out next Monday at 8.15am

Any other Windows 98 users finding the same problem?

Cheers

 

Anyone with Windows 98 that has set up a scheduled scan, can you try right clicking on it to see if it will "Run Now"

Cheers

 

Wish I could help buddy, got XP on both systems. I can't believe nobody has 98, I know it is old but you can't be the only person still running it with NOD.

 

I only have XP machines as well, it's my uncles computer, so just trying to find someone else running Windows 98....

Thanks anyway...

Cheers

 

I hope someone will be along that is using it. I think Mele20 mentioned using it on one of her boxes, might try a PM to her. You aren't asking all that much. Hell if I didn't have so much installed and setup just the way I like, I might wipe my hdd and install it just to try it for you.

Can't you move up the scheduled start for the purposes of seeing if it works?

 

Thank you for the nice thought, appreciate it…

Yes I could, just didn’t have the time yesterday. This started out 2 days ago when I found he doesn’t run a regular scan, in fact has never run a scan, I did one right then and there, all clean

When the new scheduled scan wouldn’t run by right clicking 2 days ago, I started to download the latest version 2.12.3 After an hour on dial-up it got to 99% and then the connection was lost. So went back yesterday with Nod32 2.12.3 on disk, as well as updates on the same disk. Uninstalled, deleted the Eset folder, reinstalled, set up the scheduled scan, and found the exact same problem, grrrrrrr.

Hence the question to other Windows 98 users, if I can find one Seems as though they are scarce as hens teeth these days

Cheers

 

Just a thought.

Are you running the Windows 98 commands for the scheduled scan like this?

c:\progra~1\eset\nod32.exe
c:\progra~1\eset
/local /everthing else?

 

No, I have the following in the Scheduled Task:

Browsed to the Eset folder and clicked on nod32.exe

Then added the following:
C:\ /clean /ah /all /subdir+ /heur+ /scanfile+ /scroll+ /arch+ /pack+ /mapi- /pattern+ /scanboot+ /scanmbr+ /heurdeep /log+ /prompt /program

So I gather I should have:
c:\progra~1\eset\nod32.exe

and then:
C:\ /clean /ah /all /subdir+ /heur+ /scanfile+ /scroll+ /arch+ /pack+ /mapi- /pattern+ /scanboot+ /scanmbr+ /heurdeep /log+ /prompt /program

Cheers

 

Well that hasn't worked either, also brought forward the scheduled scan to 2 minutes ahead, and it will not run, period.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers

 

Did you have File: c:\progra~1\eset\nod32.exe and the Working Directory as c:\progra~1\eset ?

I have had to put this in previously for Win9X.

 

LOL, now you tell me, just been there, will have to wait until I go back this afternoon or next week to give that another try...

Cheers

 

Well Rumpstah, you da man

It works perfectly when you put in the settings as per your screenshot...

Cheers

 

Glad it worked.

Win9x is not as "robust" when it comes to directories as WinNT machines.
