Inappropriate?Are you running a 64bit JVM?
-
Inappropriate?No... 32bit (Sun 6.0.16)
-
Inappropriate?I'm not following what "2 out of 3 startup options (start Wuala; restart) do not work" means. Could you be more specific?
I do have a Windows 7 RTM x86 machine and everything but FSI (we're working on it) works. -
Inappropriate?Wuala > Options > General > Startup lists 3 options:
1) Start Wuala when I start my computer (does not work)
2) Remeber password ... (works)
3) Restart automatically after update (does not work)
Well, good for you but I have a Win 7 (32Pro) RTM x86 machine on which this does not work, and my guess is that support should look at that rather than telling me their setup works...
I’m irritated
-
I'm sorry if that sounded like a "Works for me" blow off. If I've learned anything from volunteering here, it's that systems that seem identical can work very differently.
I meant it as a "I have one of those too (7 is still pretty rare).", hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.
So I'll be investigating why Start Wuala when I start my computer doesn't work.
Did you not select it when you installed Wuala? I wonder if it works during install but not in options. -
Inappropriate?Dear hrmpf,
thanks for the hint. There is a general problem with the automatic restart after update. This is not a special Win7 issue. We ́re already searching for a solution.
The start of Wuala on System boot should already work. At least when you login to your Windows account. I ́ll look for a possible solution.

Inappropriate?In the start menu, it should add a shortcut under the Startup folder.
Is the shortcut there? If it is, does it open Wuala? Does it open a window or put an icon in the tray?
If it isn't there, please also check this folder for me.
C:\Users\[Your Windows Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup -
Inappropriate?Deathbob - pas de souci, and thanks for the effort
C:\Users\[Your Windows Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
uncludes a shortcut to
C:\Users\[...]\AppData\Roaming\Wuala\Wuala.exe
which in turn starts Wuala (well, which opens the UAC dialogue)... -
Inappropriate?Hmm, thats odd. Wuala should not result in a UAC prompt. (Windows Vista and higher will not start applications at startup that need a UAC Prompt).
Make sure on the compatibility tab that nothing is checked, especially "Run this program as administrator". -
Inappropriate?compatibility is clean, and programme is set to run as administrator; UAC settings are default, user, system and adminstrators have full control over the exe...
-
Inappropriate?Uncheck run as administrator. Wuala doesn't need privileges.
