    1.) When i restart my Vista Ultimate machine, the OneCare icon doesn't appear in the system tray which makes me unsure if i am protected or not. Each time i start the computer, i have to go into the services area and restart the OneCare service. Is there a way to fix this?

     

    2.) I am already using the backup center built into Vista Ultimate to backup my hard drive. Is there some way to let OneCare know that i am using another backup solution?

    1) Uninstall One Care, run the install cleanup tool - http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsOneCare/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=828910&SiteID=2 then reinstall One Care. If the One Care service then does not start automatically when you start your computer please contact support.

    2) Open One Care>Change settings>Backup>Configure Backup>Change Settings, uncheck "Turn on backup on this PC".

    Thanks. The answer to the second question worked out great. As far as the first question, the OneCare service is starting automatically as far as i can tell. It's just that the icon isn't appearing to let me know. In order to be sure that the OneCare service is running, i have to go to the services area and check. After i restart the service, the icon appears.

    Thanks again.....

    You are welcome. A reinstall may resolve the icon issue.

    A reinstall did not resolve the icon issue. I did, however, change the startup to Automatic (delayed start) and that seems to have helped. I still think that this issue needs to be looked into but at least this seems to be a functional workaround.

    It is possible there are too many programs set to auto start which then would not leave enough available resources for One Care to start in a timely manner.
