xjoyvuna.exe??
I just found this on my startup list, in MSconfig. Cant figure out for the life of me what it is, but I do know that when I start up my computer I get this message.
"Unable to download Application!" I get nothing more than that. Cant find anything more either. Any ideas?

nothing I can find on it eather,
did you run a virus check try deleteing it and it will just go into the recycle bin,reboot and see if you still get the error. also do a file search for it and see what it comes up with. if it is something you need, you can restore it from the recycle ben |

Download and run Spybot Search and Destroy (free) and be sure and get the updates before you do the scan with it.

Is xjoyvuna.exe actually on your computer? If not, I would think that it was probably a virus that only partially installed.

Actually i first found it in msconfig, when I was looking on "startup", because I kept getting that "cannot download app." message, and it had me wondering. i have no idea where it came from, i havnt been on the pc for a while, but so i dont recall ever seeing it before, it just kind of showed up. and Im almost positive that xjoy is it, i took it off, aswell as some other things like quicktime, realplay, some other stuff, and it seems to have stopped, but im still curious as to what it was.
