  • “Can not start WatchMe error” when running AVG Anti Virus

“Can not start WatchMe error” when running AVG Anti Virus

July 11, 2015 3 Comments Written by Scott

Over the last few days, there have been a number of people who have reported that they can no longer start WatchMe. Each time they do they get the following message:

Can not start WatchMe
An instance of WatchMe is already running

The issue only occurs for people who run AVG Anti Virus and downloaded their latest update. I have submitted an issue to AVG explaining the situation, and hopefully they will be able to rectify the issue.

In the meantime, if you are getting this issue and run AVG Anti Virus, you can fix it by excluding WatchMe from AVG. Information on doing this can be found here:

Thank you to Mal, Max and Lou for letting me know about this issue.

    I, along with others at the office, have also recently been receiving this same error message. Im not sure which virus software is used here (maybe it’s only visible on server side) though I’m pretty sure we don’t use AVG, but perhaps the issue occurs across other virus softwares.

    Unfortunately we do not have administrative privileges so hopefully this can be resolved. We all love the app.

    Thanks.

    I have found you can also circumvent the error by running WatchMe as Administrator.

    Otherwise, a great app. Thanks!

This is a fantastic app. I use it everyday. Most of my ideas have been mentioned. Keep up the good work. I’ve told all my friends about it and now they are hooked.

I want to join the people here who are praising this program. I’ve tried many timekeeping programs, but WatchMe is the one I’ve stuck with. It’s just about perfect.
Bitpicnic
This application is ideal for players of MMORPGs. We are always on multiple clocks. 10 more mins to do that, 3hrs 20m for this, 36mins for the other etc…. One clock was NEVER enough! Problem solved. Thankyou so much.
Malcolm Duff
Great App for tracking hours on multiple jobs for multiple clients. I am our clerical/billing dept.’s favorite person because of this program. I keep more detailed times and notes then are necessary which makes audits easier on them. I use this every single day and I cannot begin to tell you how many times it has saved me.

This is really the best time management program I’ve found – it’s lightweight, easy to use, and very customisable.
Kat
WatchMe has been around for a while, but it’s one of the best programs available to keep track of multiple timers and multiple alerts on your desktop.

Wonderful application. My job recently required I start tracking my hours, and WatchMe has been invaluable.
Michael Chadwick
Thanks for writing this program. I have my own IT business, mostly remote support, and I rely on it daily. It’s the perfect solution to account for my day. It keeps me on task and has become the all important link between my work and getting paid for it. I’ve looked all over the net for something easy, fast, and elegant in simplicity. You hit the nail square on the head with this one. Good job!
