  • My computer shows four discs that aren't really there.

    The option remove device does not appear.

    How can I fix this?

    This page, you should get through the steps needed:

    If you have Windows 8 on your new Acer laptop and you no longer want to use McAfee you should disable McAfee and then uninstall McAfee and use the McAfee removal tool to be sure, McAfee is completely removed: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    Windows Defender on Windows 8 (a free antimalware which is preinstalled as part of the Windows 8 operating system program) should then be enabled.  If you want to learn more about this free program, see http://experts.windows.com/w/experts_wiki/163.aspx
    If you do not want to use Windows Defender, you can install any software anti-malware program that you want to use and Windows Defender will be disabled when the third (AVG, Avira, Avast, Kaspersky, Norton, no matter) is installed.

  • Where can I find a list of services that XP Professional needs to start and run successfully without loading unnecessary things?

    I seem to have a long boot of extradanry sequence. I checked with the listing services under administrative tools, and according to the list that appears, I have excess of 127 or so listed services.  Some are in automatic mode, some are on manual, none are disabled.  My question is, where can I find a list of services that XP Professional needs to start and run successfully without loading any of this filth?

    Yes, I understand that some of this "gunk" is things I need for installed applications, but I'll sort that once I put my minimal optimal operating system to boot the system.

    I appreciate the help.

    * original title - "Minimum started for xp services."

    Here is where you can find what services should be automatic, manual, or disabled according to your needs. It is really useful.

  • is there a minimum set of windows services that can be run under Labview?

    I need more cpu resources to perform my VI, is there a list of Windows resources that I can disable that will not affect the VI?

    Hello

    I would like to know if there is a minimum of services set in really need of LabVIEW. Not because my VI needs more CPU, but because I don't see why I should have 10 services OR running in the background even when LabVIEW is not working.

    The list of services OR that I have running on my Vista 64 bit system when LabVIEW is not running is:

    national instruments tagsrv.exe 1 k 9 996 variable motor

    2 nisvcloc.exe NOR 0,920 k service locator

    3 NOR-PAL 3 492 k nipalsm.exe service manager

    4 NOR-Pal 7 468 k nipalsm.exe service manager

    5 nipalsm.exe service manager OR-Pal 21 356 k

    service of National Instruments Zeroconf nimdnsResponder.exe 6 k 1 924

    7 niLxiDiscovery.exe National instruments LXI Discovery Service 1 592 k

    nidmsrv.exe 8 nidmsrv 3 492 k

    lktsrv.exe 9 iktsrv.exe 3 480 k

    10 lkads.exe lkads 3 124 k

    TOTAL 56 844 K

    Anyone know which of these I really need? I do not connect any equipment data acquisition on this machine. It is purely used for writing vi which are then transferred to another machine where they are tested. I have installed DAQmx and LabVIEW 8.6.

    Thank you.

  • At startup, the MpKsl3af9b1d7 service starts properly. Why this service is not listed in the services on my computer?

    After you start the system and look at the event logs I see that the MpKsl3af9b1d7 service was sent successfully control starting, but when displaying the list of installed services on my machine, this service is not listed.  How will I know what it is?

    The name of the service changes on a basis regular (I dunno if it's with every update or on a timed basis)

    I've seen with more than 20 different versions present in the device list handle (hidden devices) - removal of all systems, but that active works wonders for the startup time :)

  • What is HQXFN listed in the services of XP (home edition)?

    No description is given in the explanation of the service for the HQXFN service tree listed so I guess that's not a xp system service but a third person. But which?

    Regedit search is meagre and unclear and seems to point to an old Commodo folder (security).

    Research shows nil result.

    I don't know the right information about the HQXFN in Internet searches.

    The property information on HQXFN says its bound to material Profile1 with permission to access the desktop.

    He is disabled, but I wonder what his weight in the list of Services and is it safe to delete?

    Does anyone know what HQXFN please?

    Hello

    HQXFN service is not a Microsoft service.

    After my research I have found that it is a service used for a web application provided by HP.

    You can check if such a program is installed on the computer.

  • My list of selection includes values that are long enough. Can I do the drop-down list "wrap text" so that it is not on one line?

    According to the title. My drop-down list offers entire sentences, which sometimes extend over the entire page that I don't like. Can I do extend over several lines instead?

    Lol this is not possible in the standard selection lists. The element plugin Select2 can support this, but this looks like a redesign of the interface user is really necessary. Radio buttons or check boxes are a better choice to make selections of the options with long descriptions. Redesign/reformulation of the interface would be the best approach. What are these options? Why are they used?

Technically, this error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel interrupt request level (IRQL) that was too high. (A kernel-mode process can access only other processes that have an IRQL lower or equal to, its own.)
