After running an old (5 something) version for years I finally updated to 6.07. Now when bootig the pc I get what looks like a DOS command box which reads:
Unknown action - hide
Please enter to continue

Is it possible to stop Eraser from running at startup?

Not at present. Please read the FAQ post on Eraser architecture for the explanation.

I'm afraid I don't know what the 'DOS box' is about; I haven't seen anything like that on my machines. Which OS are you running?

Thanks for the screenshot; it makes me think that traces of the old Eraser installation may still be present. '-Hide' is not an Eraser 6 command line option.

Did you install Version 6 without uninstalling Version 5 first? If so, stop Version 6 (right-click on the system tray icon and select 'Exit Eraser), then uninstall any version of Eraser listed in Control Panel|Add/Remove Programs, and ideally delete the install folder and run a registry cleaner to remove remaining traces. Then re-install Eraser 6.0.7.

I agree with David's diagnosis and resolution.
 
We're talking computers; there is no 'of course' :) . But I'm glad it's fixed.
