http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/ http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/D....exe-11606.html here's an example of a program long since abandoned and known to cause many conflicts, it's been years since anyone in the digital video field even allowed on their computer another example would be any packet writting software running on a newer OS just another wookie rant -------------------- Chewy

It couldn't find anything to turn off on my computer  http://www.malwarebytes.org/startuplite.php -------------------- Chewy

I am afraid that many novice computer users, especially if they have just purchased their first, find all these wonderful/fun/happy applications and simply MUST try them out. And if it's on the Internet, it must be OK, right?

I did a little support work for a "fair use" state of the art program, it's crash logs would give a running processes list, I used to count how many, we never could get those with 40-50 and up to work, usually we would suggest running in safe mode.
No wonder the universal telephone tech support answer is reload/format QUOTE This is a valid program, but it is up to you whether or not you want it to run on startup.
