    Hi KeithVenable,

    Please use the Windows Vista Forums.

    Do you find these files on your Startup?

    Sidebar.exe is a part of the Microsoft gadgets and gadget software. This file implements the functionality of Windows Sidebar from Windows Desktop. It is found in the folder C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\.

    The sidebar contains shortcuts to applications such as Windows Media Player or Gadgets that can be used to display information such as the time system and features powered by Internet such as RSS feeds.

    File Sidebar.exe under the above location is considered safe and is not a spyware or virus related.

    The mctadmin.exe file name is used by objects that are classified as safe. It is a system and the hidden file. It has not yet been seen to be associated with malware.

    Note: However, some malware themselves camouflage in the form of .exe files. Remember that even if many files are still in the default file locations, some files can easily be moved to different locations or change names as many spyware, adware or popup programs do.

    I recommend to perform a full scan on your computer and check for infections.

  • You receive four messages such as ciceroUIWndframe, cthelper32 and hpquimzone.exe was still running while trying to shut down the computer

    I had a hard time trying to close my computer.  I get the above messages while closing.  This time, when I closed, I can't my computer back to the top.  What should I do to get this corrected and my backup system.

    The CiceroUIWndframe is caused by the function of 'The speech recognition and handwriting' of MS Office. You can disable this feature by going to the Add/Remove Programs applet in the control panel. Click the entry for MS Office, then click 'change '. Go to the 'shared components of Office,' "Alternative User Input", and make speeches and recognition of Scripture (both) "Not available" in the drop-down list box.

    The CTHelper32 belongs to your Creative sound card and can be disabled using msconfig (see below).

    The hpquimzone.exe belongs to the HP Image Zone software that also does not need to run in the background.

    Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

    This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

    Important - do not use the System Configuration utility to stop the process. Use rather Start > Run > services.msc [Enter] and stop all services unless you really, really know what you're doing.

  • My CPU runs at the age of 100% of use and explorer.exe is 93% _

    How can I solve this problem? I tried scans, I cut my startup programs. Explorer 8 is my problem? I need help please?

    Internet Explorer and explorer.exe are two different things - explorer.exe
    is what is used when opening Windows/computer explore / your user profile
    Such problems can be difficult to nail - but the most common cause is
    probably of malware any.
    You say you have run some scans - what? You must run a full system scan
    with you to update anti-virus and at least a spyware cleaner - MalwareBytes
    Anti-Malware is current best-of-breed.
    Second cause is a problem with the hard drive:-run a CHKDSK
    of right search box and see if it says errors - if it runs then one
    elevated command prompt and run CHKDSK /F (windows will work say that it cannot)
    Run now and ask to start after reboot - answer Yes and restart).
     
    Third is the file system - a high command prompt and the command prompt
    type SFC/scannow - and wait until it is finished, what might be some
    time.
     
    See if that lot helps and post back with the results.

  • Vista Sidebar and Media Player stopped working after uninstalling Mcafee and AVG installation

    Hi, I'm new to the Dell Forums, my apologies if this isn't the right place to post this.

    Yesterday, I decided to remove Mcafee completely from my Inspiron 6400 (running Vista Ultimate) and install the free version of AVG. First, I downloaded the http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=107083&lc=1033 and AVG Mcafee removal tool and was save on my desktop. I unplugged my internet connection, uninstalled Mcafee Security Center of programs & features (recommended by Mcafee), rebooted, then ran Mcafee Removal Tool Development. EXE, rebooted, installed the free version of AVG, went online and installed the AVG updates, performed a full scan with no errors. The system seems to work well, but then I noticed that the clock on Windows Sidebar gadget turned black, the deleted with only a yellow box calendar gadget. I tried to open Media Player, no luck because he would not just open. Tried to launch Media Player as an admin, no luck. While my connection is an admin one. There is another connection admin account so connected to this account, but you have the same problem. I did a system restore and also tried to create new accounts, but the same thing happens with the Gadgets and Media Player. I also ran startup repair by using the Vista DVD, no luck.

    Did somebody encountered this problem? There is an almost similar post under Vista (http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=vista&message.id=41524&query.id=225388#M41524), but no solution. I had a feeling this uninstallation of Mcafee or running the Development. EXE may have messed up with the registry keys for the sidebar and Media Player. I also downloaded another gadget clock, no luck. Y at - it a fix for this? I don't want to install Mcafee again, as I had many problems with MCProxy and Spamkiller causing system crash and Mcafee has no solution so far. I also have spybot running on the system.

    I would appreciate if someone could help me with this. Thank you

  • Pavilion 15-ak006nc (ENERGY *): keys to Action and touchpad problem

    Hello

    I just bought new HP Pavilion Gaming Notebook - 15-ak006nc (ENERGY STAR) with W10 home x 64.

    In the beginning, I have problem with action keys. They are as default, so when I press F5 to refresh something, it turns on just the keyboard lighting and for updating I have to press the FN + F5 key. Is it possible to pass it for action keys, I'll need to press the FN button and not for normal F-keys? (I used them a lot - F2 rename, alt + F4 to close etc..)

    Second question is about the touchpad settings - after each restart/on the machine, I have to change the settings, or load saved profile with my custom settings. Y at - it an option to change the default settings?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    About the f key, you can change this as follows.

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Select the Bios ( f10 ) option, and then change the figure in the document at the following link.

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02035108&DocLang=en&docLocale=en_US&JumpID=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0002

    To fix the parameters of the touchpad constantly being reset, try the following.

    Hold down the Windows key and press R

    In the run box, type regedit and press enter

    In the registry editor, navigate to the following

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Install

    Inside, look for a key named DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade

    If it is present, right click on the key and select Edit

    Set the field data of the value 0 (zero) , and then click Ok.

    Close the registry editor.

    Make the Synaptics setting changes you need in the usual way and save them, and then check if they are now kept after a reboot.

    Kind regards

    What exactly is the software that you have installed?

    Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

    The software is called RegWork.  I had to pay for it.  It is not yet enabled.  It seems to be just a type of utility to clean my system scan.  Since it was recommended by Microsoft Security Essentials, I thought it was the right thing to do.
    Should I continue to carry out this activation or should I unstall it.

    What makes you think that Microsoft Security Essentials recommended
    It? That cannot be good.

    You must uninstall it. Registry cleaning programs are all snake
    oil. The registry cleaning is not necessary and dangerous. Leave the
    Only registry and do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what a lot
    people think, and try to which suppliers of software record cleaning
    convince you to have used really doesn't hurt registry entries
    you.

    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
    delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
    It can have.

    Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.html
    and http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099
    and also
    http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/Archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-Windows-fact-of-life.aspx

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
    use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
    problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
    the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
    cleaner and never had a problem with it.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
    the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
    benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
    good deal.

  • IType.exe and ipoint.exe resource hogging MSE

    Hello

    I tried to clean my system so that I can have the best time to start. I have disabled all non-essential services programs.

    However, there is always a program that accesses the disk continuously after startup: Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Running Windows Resource Monitor just after a startup/logon, I can see msmpeng.exe access all kinds of files (exe) * not * running. Dig deep to help Process Monitor from Sysinternals, I caught the culprit: itypes.exe (and ipoint.exe).

    These two programs are for customization of Microsoft keyboards and mouse (I have and you are using). The problem is that Intellytype has a per-app configuration that is loaded after logon. And for each program it tries to access it, it first scans MSE. Since I have a lot of programs in my machine (:)) it slows down after starting, loading by app.

    Anyone caught a similar situation with MSE (and itype or something else)? I know no work around?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Non-system processes are created from the software you have installed on your system. As most applications store data in your system registry, it is likely that your registry database suffered from fragmentation and accumulated invalid entries that may affect the performance of your PC.

    One sure way to stop these errors/problems is to uninstall the application. Check the status of the issue and let us know.
