EAccess Violation

Jun 2, 2010 12:21PM PDT

I just downloaded the Startup Optimizer software on my Dell desktop which is running Windows XP, SP3.

When I try to run the program I get a popup showing EAccess Violation and nothing else happens.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Download ccleaner and clean up the registry and delete all from startup using this tool and than your go through will be fine....

Although Download.com often offers such registry and system 'Optimisers' we rarely recommend using them in these forums. Such utilities can often cause more problems than solutions.

What is the exact error message?

Does your computer otherwise work well without using this software? If so, I would consider uninstalling it.
