Troubleshooting

Symptom

The icon in System Tray shows a red cross (System Tray Icon), even though Prevx Home has been downloaded and installed successfully.

Resolution

  1. Click the Security Settings tab, and see if you have any settings listed. If there are no entries, then your firewall has probably prevented Prevx from downloading them.

  2. Allow Prevx access through your firewall, and then run Prevx update.

  3. After the update process has finished, click the Security Settings tab and check that you now have security settings loaded, and that the red cross has been removed from the Prevx icon in the System Tray.

 

Symptom

I am still getting Event pop-up dialog boxes, even though the Prevx icon is not showing in the system tray.

Resolution

Prevx is still loaded, but the icon is inactive:

Check your System Tray properties to see if you have the Hide inactive icons option selected. If it is, then any icons that are unused for a while will be hidden. This is a feature of Windows XP:

System Tray

 

Symptom

I've shut down Prevx Home, but the icon is still showing in the System Tray.
