msconfig

[Guest Billys]

When checking msconfig ,everything is checked. When I choose what I

want,everthing is OK until I go back in everything is checked again. Why is

this happening? How can I cure this problem?

A list of "everything" would help. Probably what's happening is that the

programs are resetting themselves. Is one of them Quick Time, per

chance? Or AIM?

You may have a security program that disallows changes to the registry.

Examples are Spybot Search & Destroy's TeaTimer, McAfee, Norton, Ad-aware

Pro. You will need to see what you have installed on your computer and look

at your security programs' configurations.

Billys,

 

After doing the MSCONFIG thing you must restart your PC and when you do that

and it starts up the first thing you will be asked is if you want to

continue to use this config and you should answer accordingly. Sounds like

to me you are telling it "no I do not want to use this config" so it goes

back to what it was before you restarted? Maybe......?

I think George probably identified what's going on, but ... realize

this: msconfig is a trouble-shooting tool, NOT a way to permanently fix

anything. You need to pursue the right way to use msconfig and what to

do with that information.

 

Just thought it should be mentioned. 6 months from now you might try to

re-enable something msconfig has off, and wonder why you can't re-enable

it.

Re: msconfig

 

If the programs in question have services attached - disable them as well.

To do that under msconfig - go to the Services Tab and check off hide ms

services and/or start/run: services.msc

 

Others that remain can be removed from the run keys via the registry - Local

Machine and Current User.....

 

Added info - to clear out old refrences via the startup tab, see line 148

The only thing that is messing up "msconfig" is my internet security. I'm

waiting for an answer from my supplier on how to correct this problem. Thanx

ALL for your suggestions

Re: msconfig

 

What do you mean by "my internet security"? Are you trying to disable your

anti-virus/anti-spyware/firewall application (e.g., Norton Internet

Security) via MSCONFIG? If so, why?
