Re: Startup wont startup

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Well OK. I didn't think it matters what i'm trying to run. It's
Synchronics CounterPoint Point-of-sale software written in COBOL.

I can run it by clicking on an icon on the desktop after the computer starts
up, but when i put that icon in the startup folder it does not run.

It's not a problem with the network or the wireless card and it's not a
software on the server problem. It's a startup problem with the software on
the server, Synchronics CounterPoint is on the server. When i use the
desktop icon to start that software it works fine. When i put that icon in
the startup folder, it never starts.

Thanks for your help.
