• How can I determine which programs need to run when I start my computer?

  When I start my computer there are so many programs that start running. How will I know that I should really run? Can someone advise me please on this issue?

  It seems that I have to add to my previous post that it is best to start to remove the start up programs a little at a time and try to do it with the programs, you know what they are.  Are some of the things that I try to remove Quicken, MS Office, programs that play music (for example Winamp & Real player), anything from Adobe.  Things I leave usually in (in addition to my software antivirus of course) are hardware related like my touchpad, video and audio, and my CD/DVD stuff that needs to be there when I want to burn discs.  This isn't an exhaustive list, but hopefully you get the idea.

  Generally when making changes, change a little at a time to ensure that you do not have messed something up.  Run for awhile, and then if everything seems OK, do more than a few changes if necessary.  In this way, if something goes wrong, it's much easier to find the problem.

  I hope everything says what I have failed to mention in my previous post.

• I know how to uninstall programs; However, how can you say that programs are essential to the functioning of my laptop

  I think I know how to uninstall programs; However, how can you say that programs are essential to the functioning of my laptop and who are just garbage programs or programs that I rarely use. Some are obvious (such as games and other), but there is so much and I'm not computer savvy. Help, please.     Give me a list for computer idiots or something. Thanx.

  Read it in conjunction with the rest of the information they give link above.

  Note

  If SFC could not fix something, then run the new command to see if it can be able to next time. Sometimes, it can take by running the sfc/scannow command 3 times restart the PC after each time completely fix everything what he is capable of.

  If this isn't the case, then run Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair any corruption component store, restart the PC later and try the sfc/scannow command.

  If still no, then try using ONE OPTION above to run the command sfc/scannow at the start

  If still no, then you could do a Refresh of Windows 8, or run a System Restore using a restore point dated before the wrong file occurred to fix. You may need to repeat doing a restore of the system until you find a restore point that is older that may work.

  If not yet, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the section THREE OPTION to manually replace the files SFC could not fix.

  Refresh your PC goes like this:

  • The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
  • Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
  • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
  • Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
  • The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.

  "When you reboot your PC, the drive will be completely reset and all your applications and your files will be removed it." Windows 8 will be reinstalled, and you need to change any settings, and then reinstall all the apps you want to come back after the reset. If you know if all the files you don't want to lose, then you must back up these files before you start resetting.

  See you soon.

  If I get a data execution prevention message, how can I find which program has been interrupted?

  Hi Robhofm,

  Usually the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) automatically monitors Windows programs and services. You can increase your protection by having DEP monitor all programs.

  For the program being stopped by DEP, you will receive an error message indicating the cause of the stop and the name of the program.

  For more information you can consult.

• When I turn my library of music in format mp3. I have duplicates.how can I know which songs are mp3

  I have a mp3 player.i sansa player - tunes doesn't recognize Sansa, so I need to transfer my music in windows media player. to do this I need to convert all my music in mp3 format.when I do that, then I can burn all my music and import to wmp.question is that when I convert to format mp3, how will I know which songs are mp3?

  You can create a smart playlist which, for example, collecting files converted based on the date that they are added to the library. It depends on how you want to proceed. If you want to permanently convert, I have a script called ConvertFormat which range the originals after conversion. Alternatively, you can temporarily change your media to the converted files folder are stored in a folder of new media, then once the process is complete you may add these files to your WMP library, reset the media in iTunes folder and delete the new additions to iTunes library, thus separating the two libraries.

• How can I find which files are missing in my video so that I can burn it to a DVD? Help!

  have made a video for my friends moving away party (his tmrw night, I need this burned on a DVD as soon as POSSIBLE!) So the film has mainly pictures, with a few songs mp3 in the background and some wmv files. OK, everything works correctly in Windows Movie Maker, and as soon as I click "publish on a DVD" I get a box saying that it saves and will be reopened in Windows DVD maker. This isn't so. Create DVD opens, I can't open my project, not to mention burn my DVD. I get a msg saying that he cannot locate one or more of my files... Help! How to determine WHICH files are missing so I can get this company to burning? I need this burned as soon as POSSIBLE, please help me!

  Are 'all' the original files that you have included in your project
  saved on your hard drive? This is important because
  Movie Maker does not archive copies of the files... it
  just saves the path to the original location. If these
  the files are no longer available Movie Maker cannot find
  them.

  I'm runnning "Vista Home Premium" on my Dell laptop. I use "SUPERAnitiSpyware &"Malwarebytes"at least once a week to get rid of all unwanted programs. What is the best way to investigate and get rid of any program still running. When I boot the hard driver light is solid for a minumtes less than 15 and sparkle even if it is inactive.

  I highly recommend that you do * not * try disabling all processes.  Although there may be some that you don't need, you'll save time very little by doing this, and you are much more likely to create a serious problem that in order to solve one.

  Also, turning off * everything * automatic start of programs in MSCONFIG is not a good idea. Here is my standard message on the subject:

  First of all, note that you should be in * all * the programs that start automatically, not only with those who are in the system tray. Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the status bar.

  On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its Options to see if she has the choice to not start (make sure that you actually choose to not run, not simply a "don't display the icon" option). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If this does not work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line and on the Startup tab, uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

  However, if I were you, I wouldn't do this just for the purpose of the minimum number of running programs. Despite what a lot of people tell you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs you run, but * that *. Some of them can seriously affect the performance, but others have no effect on performance.

  Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do is to determine what each program is that its value is for you and what the performance cost is running all the time. You can try searching the Internet and ask questions about the details here.

  Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

• How can I know which files are accessed more so I can move them to another drive

  My C drive is constantly busy and is indexed to 100% much of the time.  My swap file is on my S drive and its activity is very low. How can I know what is causing all the readers of the activity on my C drive so I can move some things my S, or other?

  I realize it is not easier to simply move the files, I might have to reinstall some applications or other things. But for now, I don't know what are the files or applications, roll to the top of the activity on my C drive.

  You can use performance monitor. Type perfmon in the "Search" box and press "Enter."

  Open the drive section by clicking on the arrow

  To identify individual files in more detail, you will need the Windows Performance Toolkit

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/performance/cc709422

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/performance/cc825801

  Download as part of the WIndows SDK from here:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/dlx/en-us/listdetailsview.aspx?FamilyId=6b6c21d2-2006-4AFA-9702-529fa782d63b

  Select this option for components you need.

  There is a video on the use of the tool here: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/PDC/PDC09/CL16

  At a glance, use Process Explorer to identify the source of the e/s:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

  On the file menu, click "show details for all processes."

  On the view menu, click on "Select columns" and check the deltas of reading and writing.

  You can also use the process monitor:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896645

  This will show you the operations of individual files so the amount of data will be huge. If a Visual inspection reveals anything, you can export the data to a csv file and use a spreadsheet to a total activity for each file.

• How can I determine which commands are associated with private 2-14

  I don't want to create command authorization sets just used a private level. I can't determine what commands are assigned to what level priv?

  By default, there are three levels of command on the router:

  privilege level 0 — includes orders to disable, enable, exit, help and logout.

  privilege level 1 - Normal level on Telnet; includes all commands on the router user level > prompt.

  privilege level 15 - includes all orders enable-level at the router prompt #.

  Orders at level 2-14 are empty by default, BUT you can always access all orders at your level and below, so if you are level 4 you have access to the commands at levels 0 and 1
