onlyme · 14-07-2008, 03:51 PM

Hi,
I am a silver surfer I think the term is, running Xp Prof. recently Sytem Mechanic 7and Diskeeper stopped working. I do not recall changing anything but perhaps I did old fool. I am not computer literate.When I click on the desktop icon for these progs. I get the following message. Windows cannot open this prog. it has been prevented by a software restriction policy, for more info go to event viewer orcontact sytem administrator. When I open event viewer I get the following:

Access to C:\Program Files\iolo\System Mechanic Professional\SysMech.exe has been restricted by your Administrator by location with policy rule {60e0e1d3-5603-4269-90c0-065a1ae2b03f} placed on path SysMech*.exe

For more information, see Help and Support Center at Events and Errors Message Center: Basic Search.

Are you logged in under an account with Administrative controls? (Check: Start/Settings/Control Panel/Users for your account.)

Highly unlikely to occur with such a program, but what the heck:
Make sure that whatever AntiVirus or Firewall you have isn't blocking it.

And check what Big B said.

..............What ever happened to good old System Mechanic 3, 4 and 5? I stopped using them after 5 because 6 and 7 used to many F*%*#@% resources and clogged my RAM. Had loads of unnecessary startup items as well. 6 & 7 just had to much of a slow performance compared to older versions.

Some other good, free programs for you to use in case it doesn't work out:
CCLEANER
Abexo Free Registry Cleaner
