Very slow computer

Patti,
These are the entries now showing in the O4 Start up section of your log which are not necessary for running at start leave the others alone;
I would recommend that you first try to disable their auto starting via the actual program preferences. If there is not the option there then use either the AutoRun program OR something like Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel. Very easy to use and FREE.

Hi
You said these are the entries, but you didn't list any entries. I have always disabled these things from msconfig - but I take it you don't like that option. I will download Mike Lin's panel.
Thank you

Whoops! sorry Patti,
I forgot the list!....it is late I copied it to word pad and then deleted!
Here it is...
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot

These below I always hesitate about as they refer to your keyboard. They are all users choice and they do give "extras" to the keyboard.
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ledpointer] CNYHKey.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HotKeysCmds] C:\WINDOWS\system32\hkcmd.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [CHotkey] mHotkey.exe

I always recommend manual updates for programs, except for the Anti-virus programs and some of the auto start listings are check for updates for Java, real player, quicktime and the like.

I also left out the MSCONFIG entry because this is an entry that appears when you uncheck an item in the Startup group, and will disappear if on the next reboot you select the option to not be reminded that you are running in Selective Startup mode

I just find Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel so easy to use is why I recommend it. I have never used the AutoRun program so it may be as easy. Mike Lin's is much easier to use than msconfig...you can enable or disable with just the removal or addition of a checkmark and rebooting is not required at the time. The change will take place on your next reboot. Many times with msconfig you have to reboot immediately. Plus many programs are NOT listed in msconfig while most likely start up items ARE listed in Mike Lin's.
Sorry about forgetting the list! No wonder I thought that post went quick!
