Cant get rid of annoying startup processes and programs!

Bootup05 · 10-08-2006, 08:43 PM

Hi peeps,

Having a very annoying problem ATM.

I have VNC and 3D Max 8 Installed on my system.

Trouble is, at startup I have these 2 processes starting up which I cannot seem to get rid of.

One is the 3D Max proccess, and the other is a startup entry from VNC.

I have tryed The startup folder, msconfig, regedit, starter.exe program and also installing the progs onto an ext drive.

None of these things work and im starting to run out of ideas.

Does anyone here have any suggestions for me as to what I should try next

Also My apache server monitor icon seems to have dissappeared.
Anyone know how to get it back. The process is still running cos I can see it in task manager and my site is still running fine, its just whenever I try to go to the server status I cannot get in as it now says this process is already running.
Thanks

click on run and type msconfig and you can edit your startups, it usually works

There are programs that are shareware (free to try) that will allow you to edit your startup files. These programs are normally called Windows Tweak or something relating to that, could be worth a try.

'Startup Inspector for Windows' is a good program to stop things from starting up unwanted.
