• Windows XP can't find MSCONFIG, but I can SEE it in the right place!

  Dear anyone.

  I can SEE MSCONFIG in the right place - it's here.

  C:\Windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries
  Directory.

  Thing IS - XP does not.  If I click on it, directly from the folder above, it starts and runs like a dream. If I go to start/run and type in msconfig, it tells me that it can't find it.

  OK, I created a shortcut and click the shortcut so problem solved this way - but I would like to know windows WHY himself can't find it even if it is in its folder right and if it could mean there are other things upward with my Windows I don't know! (Paranoid Pete calling!)

  I am using Windows XP - love dinosaurs, me! -SP3 on a PC with a motherboard a Foxpro Quad Core.

  If all goes well your

  Chris.

  Well done!

• I can not find msconftg on my phone samsumg

  I can't find msconfig on my Samsung laptop

  Hi Cecil,.

  The answer should be in option 1 below, but I wanted to extend your question to cover alternatives that you may find interesting, I use and like me, can discover that they can be much better at doing what MSCONFIG (or possibly solve all the problems, you must learn how to MSCONFIG beyond simply the method to achieve this.

  There are at least three ways to manage the startup programs (maybe more, but these are enough). I use all three, depending on the circumstances.

  1. go to start / all programs / accessories / run and type msconfig.exe, and then enter. Go to the Startup tab and you can check or uncheck the programs to run at startup. The disadvantages are that you get little information about the programs and you cannot add programs that aren't already there to register.  If this does not work, try to use an administrator account to access if you are not already.  Finally, start safe mode and try to use it from there as a last resort of semi.  If you still can't not to him, your choice is to try the diagnosis of the situation (because it is perhaps a sign of other problems) or find an alternative such as those listed below.  If you choose to help out them, then return as there are many possible causes and so many steps to take.

  2 download for free WinPatrol: http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html and you have not control these programs, but you can also add new ones, AND what I like best, you can allow it to run in the background and it will warn you if something is trying to add to your knowledge, the start menu (as sometimes happens with some downloads and installations). You don't have to use this feature if you do not want, but I find most convenient. It also provides information more than msconfig.  You don't need the paid PRO version, but I had the chance to get on a special sale of $0.99 and so it was worth it (which I didn't really know until I saw the additional features), but at regular price, I normally do not recommend paying for such products and would use the next option for this level of information instead (but then she will cover most, if not all the details it won't work no real time for you warn of changes as they occur).  But you don't have that, then I recommend the free version unless an another such sale is happening (but the developer said that the last one would be the last of them - is not similar to reappear).  The PRO version is also much more powerful, it must be much more careful with what you can accidentally delete something that you will like that you didn't.

  3. download the Autoruns for free: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx. It is the gold standard to control startup programs and everything started with lots of details and options and different points of view. The danger here is that it is so good and powerful, if you're not careful, you can remove something you really want to remove and your pipe system (but if you pay attention and see proof of caution and don't change anything, unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing and the ramifications to do) ", you'll be fine).

  I rarely use msconfig. I use mostly WinPatrol. When I'm really in cleaning things up and need to know exactly what a seed and start-up, then I click on Autoruns to get all the details I need.

  This will cover managing processes and startup and startup and programs all that much better. And if you choose to WinPatrol execution only on request and not in time real analysis (as I do), then none of them take all resources except if you use them.

  I hope this helps answer your question and gives you options you did not even ask but can find much better (as I do).

  Good luck!

• How can I find out what programs are essential to start?

  Original title: slow start

  How can I find out what programs are essential in the implementation, we can stop?

  Windows Home vista 32 premium

  Hey Stella-50,

  How slow is slow? For example, my machine (e-machine E4264 2.2 ghz with 2 GB RAM) boots in 95 seconds. For me, I call it, in the average. I am currently in the process of looking for a new machine because it is already 3 years old, so maybe that OEN will be slightly faster to start.

  What you can 'turn off' will depend on which in fact initially launches upward and, unfortunately, you have not told us that at this moment. Is that you should not disable your anti software anti-virus (updater). nothing to do with your mouse and your keyboard etc.

  Perhaps, if you made a list of what application are actually being run at startup (via the msconfig Startup tab) can someone take a look at them and see if, or what can be disabled.

  Otherwise, you might take a glance at Startup Delayer http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay to see if you can delay the time different applications load to allow windows to start up more quickly. I haven't used so I can't say how good/bad it is.  It's a freeware.

• I had a fast PC program that keeps coming up as an error and I can not find the program on my PC?

  There is a Speedy PC Pro porgram on my computer keeps coming back as an error and I can not find the program or software

  any where on my computer to uninstall or remove. I don't know where it comes from. Please notify.

  If the "program not found" error message is associated with the Windows startup, another solution is to use the System Configuration tool and remove applications from the startup list.

  Here are the steps on how to do this:

  1. Move the cursor to the Start menu and then click on "Run".
  2. In the Open box, type msconfig
  3. Heat the Enter key
  4. Click the Startup tab
  5. Remove/disable all uninstalled applications in the startup list
  6. Move the cursor to the Start menu and then click on 'stop'. After that click on 'restart'.

• How can I find out what programs I should have started and what are the programs I can start myself to my computer to run correctly when starting?

  * Original title: startup

  How can I find out what programs I should have started and what are the programs I can start myself to my computer to run correctly when starting?

  Hello

  I understand you want to learn about programs, you should start your Windows startup. I will certainly help you to question.

  When you start Windows by using a normal startup startup, several applications and services automatically, and then run in the background. These programs include the base system, antivirus software, utility applications processes system and other software that was previously installed. These applications and services may cause interference when you install or run a program.

  The system configuration is a tool that can help identify problems that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. You can start Windows with common services and startup programs turned off and then reactivate them, one at a time.

  I suggest you to refer to the links below and check if this is useful:

  Using the Configuration System (msconfig)

  Perform a clean boot to determine if background programs interfere with your game or program

  Hope this information helps.

  Please get back to us with an update on the issue, we will be happy to help you.

  How can I find out what programs start or stop to start the computer?

Can I just go back to the factory because im settings only to learn about computers. Any help would be late thanks all sorts niceome here

  Original title: need HELP

  Go in run and msconfig!

  Under the control of services tab hide all microsoft processes
  These are the programs that are running at startup you can go through the menu of your program and configure each individually to run at startup.
  If you decide it's not worth having to go to control panel and then programs and then decide to uninstall the program.
  If you decide to use your drive to factory restore do not forget to install the programs you need.
