The startup database is a listing of programs that start up automatically when you boot your computer. These programs are not always running and may simply run once and then shut down. When asking questions about startup programs on your computer, make sure that they are actually a startup program, and not a process running from a program you launched or another process launched.

To determine this, you should use Autoruns which will list all the startup programs on your computer. It is from this list of programs that you should be asking questions in this forum about.

Hi,
I've read all info first and later used Autorun. I found several items that can easily be unchecked but Autorun does not allow me to do that. It shows a window saying "Erros changing item state. Acces denied".
I would like to solve this because otherwise Autorun is getting me nowhere.
Thanks a lot,
Marcel

What are some of the entries you are trying to change?

Thanks for your quick reply.

I try to disable
fpdisp.exe
apdproxy.exe
cmincfs.exe
nerocheck.exe
hpgs2wnd.exe
jushed.exe

and so on. All N status

You uncheck them in autoruns and you get that error? Try doing it in safe mode.
