Virtual Truck program

[ironfenix]

hello all,

i have just recived my new pc with vista pre installed.


ive then connected my Modem with an ethernet cable to my computer (was a ntl modem now virgin media)

Now every time i start up my computer i get this error messege:

Please insert your CDROM with the Virtual Truck Program, Looking for file:

E:\installs\TeraUSB\VTruck2.exe

E is my CD/DVD drive.

ive found many solutions for windows 98 and XP but non for vista.

Any help would be aprechiated

the cd wont work with vista, uninstall anything put on by the cd you dont need it if you are using ethernet

[ironfenix]

i thought i had removed everything (i had first tryed to install the disc and use the USB connection)

how do i know which files need removing?

[Richy99]

is anything listed in add/remove programs?

check msconfig tosee what is starting upand untick the box

[ironfenix]

theres nothing in add and remove programs and on msconfig it will not allow me to untick the one that says "rebooter application" this is the only abnormal start up program i havent seen before. im not use to using windows vista this is my first time.

every time i untick press apply it re ticks the box automaticly

From my computer, navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and delete the vtagent icon

That seems to be the common answer for Vista..

[ironfenix]

i dont have C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and delete the vtagent icon as a directory


the folders on my C: :

DELL
doctemp
Downloads
Drivers
Program Files
Users
Windows


im compleatly lost i cannot find the "all users" or "start menu" folder this is windows vista home basic

Try c:\users\...

Best bet is to use the Modem by Ethernet if you can.

he does say it is connected via ethernet

[ironfenix]

Users just give me each users settings but no start menu... :( i hate vista!

and im connected on it now using the ethernet cable i just tryed to install using the USB first now ive got this horrible messege every time i restart

hmm...if you have a Vista Image/Recovery disc I'd go with that option (or even a back up before you installed from the VM Disc).

[ironfenix]

and re install vista ? or repair?

[gaffer_gump]

How many drives have you got in 'my computer'?

[ironfenix]

Two

One:

OS 138gig

Two:

RECOVERY 10gig

[gaffer_gump]

C:\Users\Your-Username

Look in there for the vtagent in the start up folder..

[ironfenix]

there is no start up folder anywhere i can find in the C:\Users\Your-Username i have

:

Contacts
Desktop
Documents
Downloads
Favorites
Links
Music
Pictures
Saved Games
Searches
Videos

getting annoyed now :(

[gaffer_gump]

use the search program and look for vtagent

[ironfenix]

right i eventualy found it was in :

c:/program data/microsoft/windows/start menu/programs/start up


i was stupid program data was a hidden file and i havent set this pc to show hidden files yet!

Thanks for all your help everyone who tyed to help

Hi, I also had a nuisance Virtual Truck CD message on my Vista laptop, i got rid of it by doing a search for "Startup", opening it & deleting "VTagent" which is the bit that produces the nuisance message. It's so good to be rid of the B.... !

Hi, welcome, I'm sure the person who posted this 18 month old thread will be pleased :D

[Milambar]

I dug up this info, for future reference:

According to MSDN, the start menu folder is now:

For individual users:
c:\users\<username>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows\start menu\

For all users:
c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\
