KeithLDick Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Hey Hey, long time no talk... Anyways, I had to get a new Mouse (Logitech G500s USB) and I had a bad USB port so I wasn't getting a working mouse on boot... I interrupted the Windows Boot Process a few times, Windows did a Chkdsk (no problems) and finally got it working in a different USB Port... Then I installed the Gaming Software for it (It's firmware is current)... Well now when I boot to the Desktop I get a Logitech Window on the desktop showing the folders for all the Logitech Software installed on XP.. i.e. WebCam Software, Setpoint, Quickcam etc... The desktop is normal and if I open Firefox the Logitech Window stays on top and I have to click on the Firefox Window to bring it to the front... Any way to stop this pesky window from opening on Bootup???? I'm sure I prolly corrupted something somewhere... I also just noticed FireFox is now not remembering my Multiple Homepages and Open Office Writer wanted to recover a file that was never deleted... Thanks Guys...

flashh4 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hi ya Keith, are they just short cuts on your desk top ? On my windows 7 if i don't want it on the desk top i just delete it, then i just go find it to use it ! The main program is in the start tools & stuff ! Not sure if that explained it right !

KeithLDick Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) No Chuck it's not a short cut, it's like Windows set it to open the Logitech Folder up after Windows Boots... I'll post a screen shot... Edited January 25, 2014 by KeithLDick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 That's strange ! I will keep looking threw my notes & see if there is something there, you want to remove it from desk top,right ?? Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KeithLDick Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yes I don't want it showing up everytime I boot my Computer... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 This an XP system Keith ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KeithLDick Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yes it is XP... I was thinking about just deleting everything in the Windows 'TEMP' folder, not sure that will take care of it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Try this >> Go Start to Run and in the Open box, type msconfig then hit Enter. Under the StartUp tab, untick the entry that calls tat event and click Apply then OK your way out and restart ................... then see if it re-appears !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Keith I have to leave for a couple hours, will check back in later to see how you make out !! Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KeithLDick Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I took 'LCore.exe' (Logitech Gaming Software) out of the Startup and that fixed the problem... I may have had a corrupted Installer for the software and it caused that to happen... I'll install the Gaming Software down the road if I happen to need it and see if the problem comes back... You can close this thread Chuck and Thanks for the help!!!!... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
