MSCONFIG 'starting'

MSCONFIG 'Start Up', which files are nessasary?

Hello

In fact no or startup programs are absolutely necessary, but you will probably
find what utilities put there by the manufacturer of the system are good at keeping. Those Adobe, WinAMP
and RCA programs that allow only those to run a little bit faster aren't necessary.

Be careful that a lot of these programs and services really needs to run and often remove a
little does little for the speed of the machine while making the less easy to use machine.

It's a little more complicated that you might have a few running services that you can do without.

Also some programs add services that might not really need to start automatically.

To see these compare these in Start - type in the search box-> find Services at top right click on RUN AS ADMIN as the default Vista as shown here by BlackViper. Ignore and who are disabled (which do not run) or manual (which work only on request) - for any automatic or automatic delayed start you can post them here if you need help to decide if you should run. Some of these can be assigned to the stop and
Manual if the program calling can run them as needed.

BlackViper made also some improvements to default windows services but I wouldn't

  • Re: Satellite L500 - 19 X - start the Webcam with Windows application

    I lost my webcam on the Desktop Application.

    Can I bring back by accessing the Web camera Application / Program (86) / Toshiba / Web camera Application and clicking on the Web Camera Application .exe. But it do not reappear when I boot. I have the Auto Run has ticked.

    My laptop is the Satellite L500 - 19 X, Windows 7
    Thanks for any help.

    Hey William,

    Normally in the webcam software you choose whether the application should be started with Windows or not.
    Did you check that?

    In addition, you should check it in msconfig (start > run > msconfig). There you can find a list of all the programs that start up with Windows. Make sure that the software of the webcam is not disabled.

    In the worst cases, you need to reinstall the software, but it only takes a few minutes. ;)

    As a first step that the hard drive has been changed because they said, it is the problem.

    It's so slow that he needs about 5 minutes to start.
    I checked the hard drive and the RAM with a special test program an everything is OK.

    My friend told me, I should look on a chipset-trials-of program on the toshiba site. I can't find someone.

    Maybe someone in this forum knows about this problem.

    Hello

    You are currently using Windows XP or other OS?

    I think it's just a software problem and should apply to performance tweaks to make Windows faster.
    First, you must remove all unnecessary software, such as trial versions or more. Check-online Add/Remove programs from the control panel.
    After that, clean the registry of Windows using CCleaner.
    In addition, turn off all programs that you start n t need in msconfig (start-run-msconfig online online).
    Last but not least to defragment your HARD drive.

    Here in the forum, there are some very interesting discussions on how to make Windows faster. If you use the forum search to find the discussions he s really useful!

  • my computer starts in safemode, if I start it in normal mode it starts bt not functions

    If I start it in normal mode it starts bt no functions, no matter what program do you have

    is not open

    Safe mode is only running with the bare minimum of tasks and processes to start Windows.  Normal mode adds a bunch of other "stuff" to this mixture.  The conclusion is that you have a program or task that is running in Normal mode but does not work in Mode safe which is causing your problem.  General approach to solve problems like this is an iterative process, in which case you disable certain parts of the stuff that runs when you start your computer normally. There is a built-in tool to help with this called 'msconfig' (start-> Run-> "msconfig").  Another tool is "AutoRuns" from Microsoft

    AutoRuns: <> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx >

    Using msconfig, you must start safe mode, then start in "msconfig".  Start by clicking on "Selective startup" and uncheck "Load Startup items".  Click "OK" and restart your computer normally and see if the problem disappears.  If this is the case, relaunch msconfig, click on the "Startup" tab and start allowing items by touches with a reboot inbetween.  If this does not resolve your problem, try unchecking the "Load System Services" tab and repeat.  The General procedure is described here:

    who can tell me what is 'exactly' the real role of:

    -Number of processors
    -Maximum memory

    because

    I have i7 with 8 processors and when I chose (number of processors) 8 processors, that nothing has changed! It's same as 0.
    and I have 6 GB of ram and when I chose (maximum memory) = 6 GB, nothing has changed, but became 5 GB in the Task Manager!

    What is - c!

    can someone help me please!

     
    Hello
     
    These options to limit the use of processors and memory to the specified value. If you want windows to use all available processors and memory, you must leave two options not controlled.
    When the number of processors option is set to zero, Windows will use all available processors.

  • Portege M800 sound frezzes for 1s with Vista 64-bit

    I have a strange problem with my M800:
    After 20 minutes of audio playback, the computer freezes periodically for about a second and then works fine for about a minute.

    The problem is the same with any audio player that I use: WMP11 or AIMP2.5. It works well for the first 20 minutes, then it's from freezing.

    If I close a player and open another, it works well for 20 minutes, then the problem appears.

    I should mention that I have the latest driver from Toshiba.

    HM, that's really odd

    You hear the music to CD or HARD drive? Maybe something wants to read or write a file on the HARD drive, so you have to freeze him.

    You can try to disable the TEMPRO in msconfig
    Start-run-msconfig-startup online online online
    Here you can disable.

    Check if you have the latest driver chipset on the Toshiba site.

    I'm interested in, what is the solution of this problem.

  • Satellite Pro A100 (PSAAC) with WIN XP - shutdown problem

    I have problems with my laptop stops not when I ask to do. The message that TSrsTRAYWND isn't closing arrives and I'm invited to manual closing. Even if I do this, the machine "blockages" and does not shut down. I tried the boot without failure and closure then - it does correctly, but then when I start normally and try to stop, it is up to the "hanging" again. The operating system and other programs are fully up-to-date.

    Can anyone suggest one solution, from other online for one, I see that others have the same problem, without a solution yet.

    In anticipation of your help, thank you!

    PS - I can't find any reference to the TSrsTRAYWND anywhere.

    Hello

    I tried on my laptop for a TSrsTRAYWND.exe file but I could t find anything. If you search for this file on the HARD drive you get a result?

    I think it has something to with the drivers/software that will be loaded on Windows start. You should try to disable all programs in msconfig-start up that you don't need online. Then try again.

    Sorry, but everything that s what I can say at the moment.

  • Satellite A305 - error message keep appearing from

    Hello, I have a Satellite A305-S6857 laptop
    A few days ago to XP downgrade Vista. It worked well but suddenly yesterday when I restart windows,.

    * the system has recovered from a mistake of the serosa

    A log of this error has been created

    For more information about this error, click here * so I clicked and it said

    error signature
    BCCode: 1000007e BCP1: C0000005 BCP2: BA430F76 BCP3: BA513C94
    BCP4: BA513990 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 3_0 product: 256_1

    So I simply ignored, did cancel but it keep poping up and I made reports but it did not work either.
    So I restart again but still the same. Every time I have restart this pop-up.

    So I googled on this topic and I've done something and I think after I did uninstall and reinstall a driver GMA an another error message too. It says * the Publisher could not be verified. are you sure you want to run this software? * and I say yes, he shows me another one same thing 3times.

    It's really annoying and after that I got a few messages pop up, my computer has become slow and sometimes it stopped

    help me guys...

    > He says that the Publisher could not be verified. are you sure you want to run this software?
    Maybe something wrong with the graphics card driver or other software which is not certified by Microsoft

    Did you use some third-party software, tools and 3rd applications?
    Have you installed the drivers from Toshiba or other websites of third 3rd page?

    Check the msconfig-> Start up tab and take a look at the list of background processes.
    If there are some applications that are not known to you, then turn it off.

    In the worst cases, you need to reinstall the OS.

  • Satellite L655 - 14 d - lots of RAM will be used

    Hi all what he

    I have a Satellite L655 - 14 d with 3 GB of RAM and 1 GB of dedicated video RAM problem in front, it's RAM exhausted even when the computer is left idle without any programs running in the back ground is about 65-70% of the total RAM is it normal to be like this? Help, please

    concerning
    jkjoms

    Hi jkjoms,

    It depends on your installed software stuff and the operating system

    If you use Windows 7 with a lot of software installed, they always start in the background, is it possible that over 50% of the RAM will be used.
    So it's hard to say if it of normal or not without knowing what stuff is installed, but in general this behavior is the only associated software and has nothing to do with the material.

    By the way: If you don't need some applications at startup, go to msconfig (start > run > msconfig) and disable all programs that you don't need.

    While I was warking on my laptop, I have disabled the camera assistant software because I was just confused with costantly opening sidebar when I scroll over it.

    Hello!

    In your case, I would check how many programs in the startup folder and in msconfig. Clear all programs that you don't need (start-online programs-online start-up) and also have a glance in the msconfig (start-run-msconfig online online). There you can disable programs too.

    In addition, you can defragment your HARD drive. I'm doing this every month 1-2.

    Remove programs that you n t need to increase the speed at startup.
