Having too many programs running at the same time in the background can affect overall performance and can possibly explain your online video lagging.

[Phantom010]

How to use msconfig in Vista

[robindunham]

sorry I am out of my depth! I went into start and typed config and the box closed down! so there is something wrong there? I opened it up again and typed config into the start Icon and a message cae back get help? so I am confused and deffy out of my depth

[Phantom010]

It's not config, it's msconfig.

[robindunham]

I got into "msconfig" and startup but am worried about ticking off anything that might cause me to loose communications particularily with your self also not sure which to tick off?

[Phantom010]

Follow the instructions in the websites, especially the first one. You can always go back and check the entries you think shouldn't have been unchecked, any time.

[Phantom010]

After rebooting, when the small System Configuration Utility window appears, ignore the message. Put a checkmark in that window, then click OK.

[robindunham]

not sure what you mean by "follow the instructions in the websites especially the first one" ? can you expand on this please?

[robindunham]

I have tried to copy the list and status of the programs so I can "attach it" for your perusal but to no avail?

[Phantom010]

Here's an example:

Copy this entry from your HikjackThis log:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTTask.exe" -atboottime

Paste it in this website: 1- System Lookup

Now here is what you get. On line #7, you'll see the Name (QuickTime Task), the Filename (Qttask.exe), the Description and at the end of the line, you'll see a N, meaning Not required - often infrequently used tasks that can be started manually, if necessary. So, you can without a doubt uncheck it from your Startup list.

It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

[Phantom010]

Take your time, you'll get the hang of it.
