 |

Hi,
I have a weird problem I haven't been able to figure out for an age. 
I use Gmail Notifier for two PCs, same gmail account. Both work fine. I hardly ever use both PCs at the same time. One is an Alienware and the other a Dell Inspiron, both Windows XP Pro with hardly anything on either, Office, Photoshop Elements and Open University software etc.
The problem/query is that on one PC, on boot up, it just goes to the Windows desktop and the notifier is ready to rock in the systray and flags up any emails I have as it should. 
On the other PC (AW) it also works fine, however, on bootup, this window pops up (below) and I have to click OK despite the remember psw box is checked. I know I know... no big deal. But it's irritating as on one PC it doesn't appear at all and on the other it does. It's obviously a Windows issue. Anyone know what the cause is? Both PCs are set up as one user account if that helps.
Many thanks for any help or advice

Thanks for the reply.
I do have the latest versions on the notifier on both machines. You think that's a Gmail notifier problem? Isn't that a Windows popup window? Obviously GMail triggers it but I can't figure out why on one machine and not another.  |

What type of internet connection do you have, for the machine that's giving you the prompts?

They both share the same connection. The two laptops have a wireless card and I have an 8mb DSL connection in the house with a Netgear wireless router. Regardless of the connection though, the popup occurs only when it tries to check my gmail after bootup for the first time. After that it's ok. Once I click OK the problem goes until the next time I restart. But as I said, on the other notebook, there is no popup after bootup and it just checks my gmail on its own.
Downloading GoogleTalk (as that also checks GMail) resolves the problem. A. But that isn't the point and B. I don't want GTalk as I am happy to use it in the GMail interface itself. I hardly use it anyway to be honest.
Weird huh?!  |

Yes, an odd problem. I don't use it myself (I use a pop3 checker for
all my accounts), but I had a look around.
Reviewing how many times the problems been posted in various places,
it almost seems more odd that you don't have this happen on the one machine. 
I haven't seen any remedies, except for work-arounds like Gtalk (as you mention),
or using the Firefox notifier extension, instead.
Hopefully, someone that uses the program has an answer for you.

| This Gmail notifier problem is quite common.Close the notifier from the task-bar and then restart it.Log on once more and it will solve the problem.If you don't want to do this always try hibernating your computer. |
