will not autocare

[tomstorm]

i just got awc pro-It does not run itself automatically at the specified time(s).

great program, but id really like it to work.....can anyone help?:mrgreen:

Have you enabled the scheduler? In settings and under Auto care settings you can check the box to execute AWC at a specified time. The modify the schedule config according to what you want, click apply, hit ok, and your all set. Try closing AWC (including from the tray icon area) and restarting the program to see if the schedule is still there. You should have no problems.

I have also noticed that since I installed V. 2.4 beta 3 on my XP the auto care and privacy sweep on log off are not working either. I have tried to reset the schedule and hit apply, but when I go back and check it later it has gone back to original settings with a start date of July 10,2006. Auto care does not run at the scheduled time.

I have it on a computer with 2000 and it works fine. I have tried to re-install but there is no change.

I will check it out in soon.

Problem solved

 

A complete clean out and reinstall of the awc folder and the program itself

has solved the problem:grin: :grin:

It looks as if my earlier install of awc-personal left some parameter files that had awc-pro confused. This could be helpful to others who experience other small glitches.

Good luck to y'all

Well done! There may be some conflict with the older version.

I un-installed AWC Pro 2.4 beta3, then deleted everything in AWC program file EXCEPT backups, then re-installed. Still no auto Care or privacy sweep at log off (XP).

Hi, if uninstalling, deleting the old program file, and then reinstalling did not work, I think you should go into your auto care settings and uncheck all boxes for the auto care then hit apply. Then hit ok. Go back into auto care and this time check the boxes you want for auto care, hit apply, then hit ok. Close AWC (including from tray area) and restart the application.

 

Tell me if this works. I have noticed this sometimes fixes problems with AWC starting up even though I do not have it set to start with the system.

Hi Clayton,

I tried that before and it didn't work. Tried it again and it still didn't work. I tried uninstalling and deleting everything in program folder except backups 3 times (also checked scheduled tasks to make sure all AWC tasks were gone). I ran Ccleaner issues scan to pick up any leftover reg. enties. re-installed again. It hasn't come up to scheduled auto care time, but the privacy sweep balloon at log off still does not come up like it used to (balloon tips are enabled).

I have noticed something strange each time I have re-installed. All AWC Pro Scheduled tasks come up with a start date of July 10, 2006 each time I re-installed (even tried changing the start date).

The auto care not running really doesn't bother me much. I have a routine I developed when I was running Personal version. I always run an AWC scan last thing before I log off (but tried logging off without doing this to see if Privacy sweep would work if I left temp. internet files in). I'm just trying to help figure out why it is not working.

[Tim Xue]

Yes. it's so strange I think. Is there a errorlog.txt file? If so, please post it here.

[samr]

Hi Tim,

There is no Error.text File.

[Tim Xue]

OK. I will check it out. Sometime the ballnoon doesn't show up, but it performs a sweep, please check whether the privacy traces(Such as recent docs) have been removed.

Hi samr,

 

In the "Advanced WindowsCare V2 Pro" folder, have a look of the contents of "Main.ini", "Applog.txt", and "ErrorLog.txt" files. They may give you a hint.

If "ErrorLog.txt" file does not exist, why don't you create it. Program may use it if there is an error next time. (Trial and Error. :smile: )

Hi, if uninstalling, deleting the old program file, and then reinstalling did not work, I think you should go into your auto care settings and uncheck all boxes for the auto care then hit apply.

I just found out that the 'auto-care' feature didn't work on my machine. I checked all configuration and it appeared that it should have worked. I did exactly as you suggested and I set the start time 5 minutes ahead and watched it. Sure enough, when the time came it began the sweep. However, the program window did not pop up. I had to bring it up myself.

 

Now tell me something. I like to at least know what items are being removed. I have just set auto-care to 'scan only' tomorrow. Will the main window pop up when the scan is completed to let me know what actions need to be taken? If not, then that feature might be incorporated in a future update.

 

Thanks

I just answered my own question. With auto-care set to 'scan only' instead of 'scan & repair', the scan started on schedule and the window did in fact pop up when finished. I could then look at the 'found' items.

 

Looks to me like a great product. I just dumped System Mechanic 7 because of horendous issues.

 

Thanks
