How can I prevent that Mezzmo run every time the computer and Windows (XP) starts?
In the Options there are no marks than Mezzmo shall run when the computer starts up, and in the "Services" it appear that Mezzmo only start up "Manually"

Hi There

In Mezzmo is you go to Tools, Options, General there is an option "Run on Windows Startup" that will control the Mezzmo GUI.

And In Mezzmo under Media Server, Media Server Settings, Startup Settings there are options for the Media Server.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the answer.
-I have been in Tools, Options, General, and there are no marks on any of the possibility (Run on windows start up, System Tray icon, Minimize on start up--) to run Mezzmo when Windows start!
-Further in Media Server Settings, Startup settings is set to: "Donīt start the media server automatically".
-Finally in Windows, Control Panel, Administration, Services, the Service "Mezzmo" is set to only start Manually.
There must be another reason to, that Mezzmo starts running when Windows starts.
any other proposals?

Have you ever installed or run Mezzmo as a different user on your computer? That could explain what's happening. Mezzmo is designed to run per user on your computer so you can have a Mezzmo library for each user account. If you have run Mezzmo using a different user account, log into your computer using your different user account and configure Mezzmo as you wish (i.e. turn off Mezzmo and/or Mezzmo server running at Windows start up).

If that does not help, when you start your computer, what is running at Windows start up - Mezzmo.exe or MezzmoMediaServer.exe? If it is Mezzmo.exe, then go to the Options dialog (General page) and select the "Run on windows start up" and click OK. Then go back to the Options dialog (General page) and then uncheck the "Run on windows start up" checkbox. Click OK and exit Mezzmo. Reboot your computer and hopefully that stops Mezzmo from starting.

Let us know how you go.

Thanks for the help. I followed your proposal to select "Run on windows start up", Click OK and the uncheck. Now it works! Mezzmo donīt start when Computer/windows start.
