Guest JS Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Re: MSCONFIG/Services? You may be able to eliminate some unnecessary services Services Startup Type Descriptions: Disabled - This service will never start. Manual - May be started when needed by an application or another service. Automatic - Started when Windows boots. Important: For more info on what services are needed or which can be stopped see: http://www.beemerworld.com/tips/servicesxp.htm Also some services are dependent on others, that is to say a specific service can not start unless another service is already running. This will shown as Dependencies. To stop a service: Click: start | run and enter: services.msc Scroll down to the service of interest. Right click and select properties Click on the 'General' tab Set the 'Startup Type' to 'Disabled' if you do not want the service to start.

Guest Karl Strausser Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Re: MSCONFIG/Services? CharlieC, MSCONFIG, in my opinion, is the last thing to use. It was bad in Windows ME, it is little better in XP, and almost worse in Vista. There are many bad, good, very good, and excellent alternatives to MSCONFIG which are more user-friendly. I personally use The Ultimate Troubleshooter from AnswersThatWork.com which is in the excellent category for me. One you've used it once you won't be able to do without it - as simple as that. Go to their website and click on the boxshot in the left corner. Karl "Charliec" <charliec@invalid.address.com> wrote in message news:5eaab3p5pkg1jlnbrdbl6vhhmcs8kqs9i6@4ax.com...

Guest Charliec Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Re: MSCONFIG/Services? Thanks JS, I followed your instructions and using services.msc, I tried to set a program to Manual (Webroot Spy Sweeper Engine). I get the message "Access Denied" - not sure why and what I need to do to gain access? Thanks for any insights you can provide.

Guest Charliec Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Re: MSCONFIG/Services? Karl, As I said, I'm getting constant hourglass activity and screen flickering every minute or so and need to determine what program is causing this. Will the Ultimate Troubleshooter help me isolate this program? I've tried Process Explorer, but am have problems trying to determine which program and whether I can safely disable it.

Guest Charliec Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Re: MSCONFIG/Services? Ok, JS, I looked at the site for "How to see the Securith Tab in XP Home", and was concerned about the warning they have it in, see below: WARNING: Adjusting the permissions on a drive, file or folder can lock even the Administrator account out of that drive/file/folder. Deny Permissions take precedence over Allow Permissions, regardless of your group membership. Administrators are members of the User's group, by default. Uncheck Allow, rather than using Deny. after reading through it, was wondering about the Is there a danger in using this? Have you used it and if so, how did it work?

Guest Charliec Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Re: MSCONFIG/Services? Thanks, But I still have the problem with every minute or so - some service is activated that causes my screen to flicker - it's a very annoying problem. I've used Process Explorer and Services.msc attempting locate the cause, but can't seem to isolate it yet. It's never done this before, so I'm not sure what is causing it.

Guest JS Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Re: MSCONFIG/Services? Near the top of Process Explorer you should see a real time graph of your CPU usage, if you move the mouse pointer over to and on top of any point or spike in the graph you should see a small window pop up showing exactly was cause the CPU load at that point in time. You can change the CPU sample rate by selecting View/Update Speed. Also View/Select Columns/Process Performance tab provides additional options.

Guest JS Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Re: MSCONFIG/Services? No logging ability that I'm aware of, only has a snapshot (save as) option. What you might want to look at is Process Monitor which does have logging. Word of warning, it generates a lot of data entries so you might want to experiment with the filter options to eliminate a lot of redundant and non applicable data. It will take a little trial and error until you can make effective use of this utility. Will it be of any help, I can't tell you but it just might. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/processmonitor.mspx JS "Charliec" <charliec@invalid.address.com> wrote in message news:s8pkb3d27mfegilduqa71m68omle4qshtn@4ax.com... > Ok, JS, > I will take a look at that and get back to you with the results - Is > there anyway in Process Explorer to create a log of activity?
