16 programs running at startup? This is a bit much for 64megs of RAM. I would suggest taking some of the unneeded programs out of startup first. Go to C:\Windows\Start Menu\Start Up. Take out what is not really needed. You might try just moving these programs one at a time to a different folder until you find the culprit. HTH, wcr3d

16 programs running at startup?Do you really need all of those to run?Try turning non essentials off and maybe this will cut down on the activity when you boot up.

These are the programs running at starup,can anyone tell me wich one is safe to turn off? 1)Scan Registry 2)Task Monitor 3)Load Power Profile(twice) 4)System Tray 5)Digital Dashboard 6)Country selection? 7)PTSNOOP? 8)Vet Start Up 9)Vet Alert 10)Vet Tray 11)Hidserv? 12)RUN=? 13)CPQINET? 14)EACLEAN 15)CPQEASYACC Those in ? are the one I considered turning off but not sure what it is.

I have the same problem these are the programs I have at Start up taken from the msconfig folder what can you take off? Also how di you get rid of the entries you do not want I have some that are even duplicated, I would like to remove these. These are what I have running currently: 1)Scan Registry 2)Task Monitor 3)Load Power Profile 4)System Tray 5)Tweak UI 6)Pointer 7)DXM6Patch_981116 9)Nav defalart 10)Norton email Protect 11)Norton auto protect 12)RUN=? Thanks Kaz

Julie: Digital Dashboard, Country selection, all 3 Vets,Hidserv, cpqinet, EAclean and cpqnet can probably be eliminated for Startup UNLESS one of those is your antivirus program (I can't tell from that list--it's not Norton). Doesn't mean that you disable them, just find the shortcuts to the .exe for each one on your hard drive and create shortcuts for them---run them when you need to. As far as Task Monitor goes, if you actually have it programmed to do something that you otherwise would never do, such as backups, scandisks, etc, then disable that too. Be careful about what you install that runs in the System Tray--usually means that it's consuming resources, and oftentimes can be switched from Load At Startup to a shortcut on your desktop.

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my post,now i'll go and turn off those programs suggested and see if it works. julie
