Vista - conhost.exe - what is - this?
conhost.exe is in my msconfig file, but I can't find the file on my computer. What is it? (In Vista, the most recent version)
conhost.exe is in my msconfig file, but I can't find the file on my computer. What is it? (In Vista, the most recent version)
Nice try at a recovery of Mr. Smithers, but a clear reading of the issue and a quick answer, that's what is needed. I always run virusware and malware.
From what I've determined, conhost.exe does not (or should not) be on a Vista system. And, if you read my question, it is not on my system, only in my msconfig file, so I just disabled this line.

Hello
Yes, the Conhost.exe file is needed under Windows 7.
It was included in Windows 7 to fix a few problems that appeared in Windows XP and Windows Vista.
You can see a good explanation of these issues and the reason why the conhost.exe is necessary in the following article.
What is conhost.exe and why is it running? :
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/4996/what-is-conhost.exe-and-why-is-it-running/
If you are sure that the Conhost.exe does not appear in the folder System32, perform the following test.
1. click Start and type cmd.exe in the area of Research .
2. in the results, right-click the Cmd.exe file and select run as administrator . This will open a command prompt window.
3. leave open window command prompt. Right-click in the taskbar and select Task Manager.
4. in Task Manager, click Show processes from all users at the bottom of the window.
5. make sure that the process tab is selected, and check if you can find one instance of the Conhost.exe file in the Image name column.

Qosmio G30-126 - appcrash Vista Bright.exe
Hello
My Qosmio G30-126 bought he's 1 year provided with driver for Toshiba graphics card. For this driver with Vista is not software NVidia pages. If I asked for XP they said that Toshiba is selling laptop with Vista. Troubles were with flashing light and noise from time to time until arrived first update for Toshiba graphics card (November 2007). The sound was better, but while working, the display was on horizontal pieces. While there I find upgrade for Microsoft's NVidia graphics cards. I have download and can do scroll BUT better: the display came on the vertical pieces if I do not work. They have active air, this means that it is a little Flash.I have the laptop still under warranty for the next 3 years.
But when I was talking about this disorder to allow Toshiba service just after childbirth, they said "it's normal with Vista" :DI like solving problems like this...
APPCRASH is a normal window in my place. In recent weeks, it came with light control button... It is also the problem of Vista. I see on google (appcrash Bright.exe):(seulement Toshiba produit avec ce...)
Who can answer?

Hello
Are you using Vista or XP OS on this Qosmio G30?
You said something about XP. So I m not sure what operating system you are using now (Vista or XP)With regard to the bright.exe;
I think that the bright.exe belongs to one of the programs in the package of added value of Toshiba Vista (but I'm not 100% sure).
The VAP is a software package from Toshiba and it exists ONLY on Toshiba laptops ;) (maybe that's an explanation why you can only find it on Toshiba laptops)In any case, question you seems to be a software related issue and the solution is most often a new update and installation of updated drivers.
As I said it is not clear to me what graphics drivers you use and generally what you have installed on your laptop, but on the page of the European driver Toshiba you can find all the drivers for updates.
Your G30-126 seems to belong to the series of PQG32E. The area of G30 PQG32 you can find all drivers for XP (MCE = XP) and Vista drivers.
So, what to say, depending on your operating system, install the most recent drivers / tools
Goodbye & good luck

For about a week now that I get a lot of 'freeze' and try to eliminate contradictory processes that cause my Vista Home Premium 32-bit w / SP1 system to "lock" onto me.
I tried but can't do a restore effective because none of my points of store go back enough to solve the problem.
So I try a "clean boot" as described in article http:// support.microsoft.com/kb/331796.
My system has installed significantly since turning off half of the services non-Microsoft configured to run at startup.
But every time I launch msconfig.exe I get this error message-"a problem when processing custom tools manifest file (C:\Windows\system32\MSCFGTLC. '"). XML ".
It is not stop fiddling with the boot configuration, but I don't think I should get this error. Any ideas on what it is and what to do about this?

Hello ch4rlie1949,
Run The System File Checker utility:
To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the appropriate Microsoft versions.
To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
- Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search .
- Right-click cmd in the programs list and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue
- To order invites, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc)
This analysis may take some time to complete. When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved. Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

How to disable the console (conhost.exe) host
For Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 whenever you open a console program, the system opens another process called conhost.exe, to apply windows themes and activate the drag & drop feature in this console window.
As much as I themes disabled, that I never use drag & drop in the console windows (I promise you :)), which each of this process takes at least 2 MB of RAM and, more importantly, according to sysinternals process explore each conhost.exe process has more than 2500-3000 switches context per second (thus reducing the performance of the entire system) I would like to restore the old behavior of windows Vista/2008 and completely disable the conhost.exe.
Any ideas?Thank you

Hello
On my computer, there are a number of icons in folder with a square in the left corner and inside room is a blue arrow pointing upwards to the right. Although I can remove access is denied to those folders.
I created a network to move files from my old computer to this one so that they can have something to do.
What is this icon, and if I can delete the folder?What part of "leave alone" was unclear? ;-) Seriously, just leave them alone! You can hide them by checking the option hide hidden files in Control Panel > Folder Options. Even though I like to show hidden files in Windows XP, I hide in Vista (unless I'm troubleshooting) because otherwise things seem to be so messy. You can do the same thing.
