Thanks again,
Mike 😈
Druid, YOU NAILED IT. I went, folder by folder just to be sure.
Well, for anyone who needs this issue resolved and your anti-virus can make exceptions, this is the folder that needs it.
C:Users
I am using Windows 7 RC1 so I had to go to control panel to get to folder options to do this (same for vista). If your using Windows XP, your window options will be, well, at the top of your folder window. I don’t remember the exact words and tab needed to get to folder options but I know for sure it is there and while your there you can enable “show hidden files”.
Phew, had to think a bit to write all of that to make sure I didn’t leave anything important out. If this has already been resolved in the thread Frits left me, I apologize.
Anyway, opens and closes perfectly, no hanging services, as long as the exception has been made. You don’t even need to make an exception for the Podium.exe file, that isn’t the problem.
Hope everyone has a good day,
Mike 😆
Under advanced mode, I went to Real-time file system protection then with those checkboxes… I unchecked File Open and File Creation and with those two disabled (I tried them all one by one) it solves the problem.
This obviously means that podium, opens files and creates them upon startup of the actual executable, I would assume.
Which files are they and where is this happening and most importantly, WHY!?
Thanks Frits,
I am using NOD32 and disabling my realtime scanning solves the problem. I made an exception for Podium.exe in nod32 but it doesn’t solve the problem. I was wondering if you knew where the main .dll’s were installed, or what have you? That way I could exclude them as well.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Michael
