Problems loading stealth

[PBR]

Hey guys, I am having a bit of trouble trying out stealth and am hoping someone here can give me some pointers. I have downloaded the newest version, and tried older versions, but can not get stealth to run. I've run it as admin, and it will pop an icon in my system tray, but as soon as I mouseover the icon, it disappears. No windows, splash screens or anything else pops up.  I am running win7hp, completely updated. I don't want to give up this easy, as I think stealth looks amazing, but at this point I am not sure how to proceed. Any ideas?

I would try first with an intro. to get access to this web site.

I didn't go that route originally because the rules said that an introduction is required for access to all scripts. The problem I was having came way before attempting to use any scripts. Anyway, give me a few and I'll go start that post. Thanks for the help.

What version of Stealth are you trying to run?

Where did you download it from?

Windows 7 32bit or 64bit?

Is there a debug.log or Stealth.exe_errors.log?

My first suspicion is an overzealous firewall or anti-virus suite.   Stealth does an update check at the beginning that can be allergic to firewalls.

In case anyone else runs into any similar problems:

Stealth v6.1.5 and Stealth v4.3.5
I've used copies from http://stealth.od.ua/Site/Downloads and from Orich's repository
Win 7 64bit
No error logs were created
I have disabled both MS Security Essentials, and Windows firewall. I run no other active protection software.

As per a private conversation with Orich, I can get it to run in a windows vm, so there is something else going on, but I have hit a dead end. Anyway, back to that intro...

When you first start Stealth.exe, it checks for remote updates.

I had similar symptoms with a firewall up ... I imagine something similaris is probably what is causing the problem.  Some security measure that's still active somewhere, but its hard to say

that happends to me to.

that happends to me to.

I gave up trying to figure it out, and just created a new user account. Since most everything I install, I install just on my admin account, this bypassed whatever was blocking the autoupdate. It is annoying, but at least I can use stealth now. And who knows, it may work for you as well.
