    awhh,...I'm crushed.

    Well, guess I was wrong;......--Looks like you've run out
    of enthusiasm. At least for helping me w/ this.

    Well,-yes;...and that's possibly the only thing I'm
    sure of when it comes to this mess of a Mystery!

    It must not be the SW, -'cuz no one else is having this
    problem.
    The SW is installed and activated fine; -its just not
    opening properly.

    -So it must be my PC.
    The OS., the SW installed (many from GAOTD), and
    Frigate3,...-Just aren't 'playing' well 'together'!

    --Something {it seems} is 'keeping' it from opening!
    -I just can't figure out what/why.!

    I've tried several things:

    > checked-out my McAfee Security -to see if it was
    blocked.

    > tried removing the "Tips"-file from Frigate3.
    ...[ I couldn't figure-out how to disable or remove
    the whole "Tip of the day" - pop-up-window
    'cuz I couldn't find it.]

    > I tried 'removing-,re-DL,-reinstalling,+rebooting'.
    ...-[several times]-

    > I even took a chance and e-mailed the Co.
    [-I know the rules,..but it was worth a try.]

    Then,..I didn't know what else to try/do.

    JEG88, I guess you just were never meant to run
    Frigate3
    ........................................................

    BuBBY,
    That sounds a little cold coming from you.
    Your usually much warmer when dealing w/ people.
    Even if you can't help you'll offer some kind words or
    friendly gesture. .......... :(

    Oh,well.
    Maybe your just having an off day.?
    That's OK,..some other time then.
    Thanks anyway. :)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Well, I can just hope that some other "Techies" may
    drudge through this, get a brilliant idea and offer up a
    suggestion to my strange Frigate3 problem.!
    I know your out there and I know there has to be a
    solution!
    Good Luck!
    First prize gets a "I'm the only one smart enough to
    fix this!"----Smiley Face :) ....{make it two-}.. :) !!

    -Hope that inspires someone!
    ~THANKS

    ............,

    {-probably talking to myself :| } .......

    Have you shutdown all of your startup programs living in your system tray, JEG88? As I have found problems like this before. For example, if Sticky Password starts before AltDesk (both were GAOTD programs), AltDesk will not launch or run. Run AltDesk first, and they both run fine.

  3. JEG88, apologies if you think I sounded cold - truth be known I hadn't run out of enthusiasm to help you - I'd run out of the will to stay awake. But even after another 3 hours sleep - I still have no idea why only you have this exact problem (twice). If I was at your PC I would probably try to start Frigate while watching it with Sysinternals Process Monitor. Sometimes that can help determine where/why a program is choking. (If I could reproduce the problem on my PC - I could probably narrow down what was wrong in minutes).

    One idea I have (a benefit of sleep) what happens if you close all running programs - including all the programs you are able to close running from the system tray. (Then double check Task Manager to make sure all your programs have closed) - and then try to start up Frigate. Perhaps a program you use (and have running) isn't too keen on sharing the desktop with Frigate.

    Edit: Obviously not 100% awake yet - now I notice BillW50's post above. :)
