I have some programs that are running and making my system resources low. These programs start as soon as my computer comes on and when I hit Ctr, Alt + Del, I have no idea what they mean. How can I make it so nothing but my goback and my virus program starts? The files that are showing up and I dont know what they are as follows:
cmesys, gmt, cmanager, enternet, ccd, direct cd, createcd50, tgcmd, gbmenu, mmod, navapw 32, loadqm, cfd, poproxy, systray, lpmon32, rundll32. any help is appreciated.

After running Spybot S/D, you might try the following:

Click Start, Run, type Msconfig, OK, under the Startup Tab write down the names of everything you see that has a check by it. Don't change anything yet!
Now go to www.answersthatwork.com and click Task List to find out what these names mean and whether you can delete them or not.
You can then go back to the Startup Tab to delete them.

Note: Leave Systray, Scan Registry, Load Power Profile(two), StateMgr, and your firewall alone. I'm sure there are others.

Hope this helps,

Joe

8. Here are some guidelines to choose the best location for your virtual memory file
a) Select the quickest hard disk.
b) If you have, two hard disks that are similar in performance select the hard disk that does not contain Windows system files.
c) Make sure the drive has free space equal to at least twice the size of the recommended swap file size.
d) If the partition is on the same physical drive, select the partition in alphabetical order. For example, if you have one 2GB hard disk and you partition it into two 1GB partitions drive C & D) You should pick Drive C over Drive D if meets all the guidelines of a, b & c.
9. Set the Minimum/Maximum to: With large hard disks settings a 128mb or 256mb swap file should be sufficient in almost every situation.

10. Click OK.
11. After setting the size of the virtual memory file windows will display the following message. You have chosen not to let windows manage virtual memory automatically. Click Yes.
11. You must restart your computer before the new settings will take effect. Do you want to restart your computer now? Click Yes
12. Sometimes Windows 95 takes a long time to shut down. During this time, it is doing necessary system maintenance. You must wait while the computer shuts down.

Regards,
Qginie.

Using msconfig I was able to get my user resources up from 73% after a fresh boot to 94% free after bootup ! It seems so many applications you install ,add something to run at startup ,and most can be activated on a as need basis ! I did a google search on startups add found a web site that list all of the items that can load at startup ,it tells you what application its related to and if its needed or not at startup !

Cmanager, enternet, ccd, tgcmd were created when I loaded the software for my SBC DSL connection. The actual connection software is enternet by Broadjump.
