Okay if you are running windows 7. Goto start and where it says "search for programs and files" type in "msconfig" with no "" and press enter. Now in the "General" tab I have selected "Selective startup". Now under the "Startup" uncheck "Microsoft Security Client". And under "Services" tab uncheck "Security Center" I think that maybe the one that is blocking it. I did stop other programs on start up. But I say start with that one. If that one does not work let me know and i will make the full list of what programs I stopped.
EDIT: sorry thought this fixed the problem. Well after stopping some of the process did let the bot start up right after restarting the pc. I did get it to start and had the gathering bot to run. But shortly after that it did stop working. So I think its something that take a min to load after restarting. Because when the bot stops working I will try to close and reopen up minion. And i'm back to square one with it not loading anything.
