    I installed 1b over 1a yesterday - no problems. Today, when I started up my machine I have 2 instances of egui.exe running and 2 ESS icons in my taskbar. My start-up list has ESS listed twice under msconfig as well.

    Anyone else having this problem. I'm running XP.

    Hello !

    Try to reinstall ESS:
    Uninstall it first from Control Panel->Add/Remove programs
    Reboot
    Delete manually C:\Program files\ESET and C:\Documents and Settings\All users\Application data\Eset
    Check if you have leftovers about ESS in your msconfig and disable them
    Install again ESS beta1b downloaded from http://download1.eset.com/special/essbeta1b/ess_nt32_enu.msi
    Use Typical install

    It showed both versions as 1b, so I believe it was the same version. Also, I went through everything that HiTech Boy suggested and that worked - of course, I still had to go in through msconfig and shut down one of the running instances of egui.exe in the end, so I really don't see what the point was. I could have done the same thing without the uninstall/re-install.

    In any event, all is running ok now. Still, sent a ticket in to Eset since I thought they should know the upgrade didn't work properly on my machine. That is the point of betas after all....

    :D
