... start up.
First, the program did not install properly - wouldn't register. That seemed to work on the 3rd install. However, when starting the program, a click anywhere but the title bar or system menu caused a lockup. For instance, if I'd go to the Options menu, the Options window would come up, but nothing was clickable and the cursor indicated a hard wait. Same thing happened if I clicked on an entry in the main program window - went into a hard wait. Program had to be killed. Tried one more install, but same problem. Don't really know if this is an install problem or a problem with the program itself, but in either case, I don't think it can be recommended as a viable application.
Absolute Startup absolutely won't ...

MemberDon't install this piece of crap. Her is what happened to me:
I downloaded Absolute Startup from the giveaway of the day site, and installed it. I am running Windows 98SE. I created a system restore point first. Upon instalation, before it was even finished installing, it erased my startup group, deleted registry entries, disabled my virus protection, disabled my firewall, erased everything in my msconfig list, took entries out of my autoexec file, changed system.ini, disabled Norton Systemworks and spybot, and ereased my system restore point. Then, as soon as the installation was finished, it “performed an illegal action” and shut down my computer. When I brought it back up, I got several errors about missing dlls and missing exports. It took me over an hour to get my computer up again. I will NOT recommend this software to anyone. It is a piece of crap. And I still have more to fix.
