I downloaded and installed my GPS software from Tomtom. It starts everytime windows starts, and there is nowhere in the preferences that dictates that startup or allows me to disable.If there a free program startup manager type program out there that anyone is using?
I was wondering if anyone knew a good (and powerful) start-up manager that is compatible with Windows 7? I know that CCleaner has one built in, but it is too basic for what I am looking for.
Ok. So when i installed Windows 7 i also had the evaluation copy of Windows 7 on another drive. Everytime i boot the computer it asked me which copy of windows i want to boot to. I erased that driver so i could get rid of that problem but its still there. Even if i try to boot into that drive it errors out and restarts. I want to boot my computer and it boot strait to my ONLY os.
what is Program Manager, and why does it always keep me from restarting? shutdown works fine, but when i choose restart, i get a message saying Program Manager won't close.
I had XP with '03 media center edition. I installed Windows 7 over XP, so I was not expecting that every time I now turn on Windows 7 computer I always get the windows boot manager and have to choose Windows 7 to continue booting up. Is there a way to fix that so it does not come up anymore and just starts up on its own. I realize that even if I do not click it, it is already highlighted and will start up on its own after the countdown is done, but I was wanting to know if there was a way to fix that altogether.
Should also mention that on msconfig and boot menu, the only one listed is the Windows 7 OS system and is default.
Randomly, on start-up, my internet browsers and networks do not work properly if at all.The things I notice is:It's always on system start-up.Network manager icon on right side of task bar freezes with "loading" icon.No error messages
-Unable to access network manager -Unable to access network adapters control panel -Unable to use internet browsers
Sometimes it will fix fix itself after a long time, but I usually just do a restart and that works.Closing Firefox, steam, and other useless services in task manager during problem does not help disconnecting the LAN cable does not help,sometimes non-internet programs will fail to start during problem.
I have been noticing this in the task manager "InputPersonalization.exe" I have never seen this before. I have been using the On Screen keyboard after a coffee accident and was wondering if that's just a process from that. I have done some research and it's to do with Tablet pc's well this is a desktop.
I have Realtek HD Audio sound manager software that came with my gigabyte board and I hate it. Is there another sound manager program I can replace this one with? My sound card is the same, onboard one (realtek I guess) so maybe a program that is compatible?
I have a 64G SSD drive and a 300G hard drive. I set c drive drive to be the whole SSD drive. Cd drive to d: and an e drive to be 100G. (out of the 300G). I am running an AMD phenom quad core with 12 G of memory. I have tried diabling all start programs. I downloaded all of the latest drivers from Gigabyte and also got the AMD series series 7 chip set drivers from AMD. When windows boots, it sits at starting windows for 2-3 minutes and then loads.
I have set custom events for ids 100-110 and it shows nothing or warnings on event 100 with no details. Once the balls become the windows icon, windows brings up my long on. Here is the vital clue, I installed Norton ghost 15. when I copy the drive to a third hard drive, the boot manager comes up. When I select boot windows 7, it load starting windows and then the balls with the windows icon almost instantly. It stays like this way even when I disconnect the 3rd drive. If I remove boot manager, I am back to 2-3 minutes to get past starting windows.
Everytime i start my computer and after putting my password, at the desktop, a box appears saying that program manager stops responding and it is needed to restart the pc. it does it ( by himself ) and it is a cicle that dont stop, only if i manually close
Is this a normal Windows 7 error? I want to install League Of Legends but after I pressed yes to Administrator permissions to the program, then there is nothing, apart from Task manager says it is running, but I can not see anything on the desktop? I cant stop the program in task manager, which I think is a little weird?
I am currently using windows 7 ultimate x64. I was in the middle of a process restoring my computer to a few days back and suddenly it froze. I did a power shut down and when I turned it back on, I wasn't able to get back into windows. I was brought to startup repair and it gave me errors. 'Boot manager failed to find OS loader'. There was options for restoring, but all my restore points were gone. Recovery wasn't able to find image backup.
"Startup repair cannot repair this computer automatically". I was told to go into safe mode to restore, but whenever I enter safe mode, startup repair would take over and shows the same errors, also I read a tutorial using a repair disc ( made a copy of it on someone elses ultimate x64 computer) and I get the 0x00000e9 error if i boot from disc. What can I do? As of now I don't have the installation disc with me. I wont be able to get hold of it until tomorrow. There's a lot of important files in that hard drive and I really cant lose any.
I have a seemingly simple problem, but the solution evades me. I would like a particular program to run when the computer starts. The program is TeaTimer.exe, a system protector that I've been using for years.
It seems simple to just put a shortcut to the program in the startup folder, like I've done with all my previous PCs. But this time the program will not run on startup. I have it set to run as administrator if that would make any difference.
The program runs just fine when I manually start it, there are no problems in running the program and I've checked for compatibility issues, for which there are none. it's just for some reason, Windows 7 will not run the program even with a shortcut in the startup folder... and won't tell me why.
Im running Windows 7 64bit. Im wanting a batch file that i can save on my desktop that when run as admin will start up BC2 or what ever program i put in the batch file at high priority and only on cpu cores 1,2 and 3 (2 3 and 4 on actual CPU) command prompt is at C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe bc2 is at C:Program Files(x86)Electronic ArtsBattlefield Bad Company 2BFBC2Game.exe what is the command line i use inb a batch file to make it run bc2 on high priority and on all cores except the first.I have been trying to get it to work but it just opens cmd.exe and nothing else.I plan on have this one batch file open 4 different programs. BC2 on high and the last 3 cores.as well as teamspeak 3, itunes and fraps all told to only run on the first core. but ill get to that later. i want o get the first section working before i get to that.
i have 3 files that want me to give the administrator password for each time on a standard user account, 1 is listed in startup but the other 2 are not, i want them to run so that each user doesn't have to ask for the password to be entered, i have told it to run as administrator but that doesn't work.
I tried placing one of my favorite programs in the Startup folder but every time it starts it prompts for UAC confirmation. Annoying. Is there a way to get rid of this?(without disabling UAC. at the moment I work around this by completely turning off UAC but I feel nervous about this).
It is a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge with a 500 gigabyte hard drive, 4 gigs of RAM, an Intel i5 processor, and an Intel Graphics Family video card that was bought from the company's online store. A few days ago I took the laptop out and started up as usual. Once logged in and at my desktop the computer refused to run any programs or even open the start menu for 15 minutes. After things begin to respond the computer runs fine but this worries me. It still continues to do this daily. Today a message appeared at the bottom right corner of the screen saying " Windows 7 Not Genuine Error 7601" I believe. The reason I cannot be more clear on that is because that went away. Since then, I, in a total panic, did several internet searches on the problems but was only directed to either one, but never both. I would like avoid contacting a technician so I came here.
I have a few computers here that all run this program that auto launches through the startup folder. this program is suppose to launch at full screen. However, on a couple of PCs this program launches as full screen but the start menu is given focus and not the program. while other PCs with the same setup, launch the program at full screen without giving focus to the start menu.
Just wondering if there is some option that's been selected on these machines that are giving focus to the start menu instead of the program.
I have a minor technical question I would love help on. I have the UAC on and log in as a standard user for protection. There are a few programs that I would like to run automatically when windows starts that require a password EVERY time I start windows, or if I select them manually. Is there any reason certain programs due to their permissions need an admin password to run and other don't?
I could not find the difference looking in the security section of properties comparing it with a program that runs as an admin. HELP! I would like to run these programs automatically as windows boots without typing in the admin password for each program.
Recently was infected with a virus, which I removed with Kaspersky, but now all of my program folders are empty and / or missing when I hit Start -All Programs. I believe this is self-inflicted. I'm running Windows 7/64 on a Dell N7010 laptop. It has a OS (C:) drive (58.5GB) and a Local Disk (D:)drive (527GB). I originally found the "C" drive becoming full. Not being overly computer savy, I tried to move program files and any large files I could locate to the "D" drive. Everything seemed to work fine, until this virus. Now I believe the computer is reverting back to the original location of these files on the "C" drive, and I'm not sure on how to link them back to my All Programs menu.
I have an app that is supposed to run at startup. It has an option in it to "Start with Windows", but Windows 7's UAC insists on prompting me every time. I tried making a new task in Task manager to run it at startup, and using "Run with hightest Priveleges", but it doesn't work. The app just doesn't start at all. I am using an admin account, and I've disabled the "Start with Windows" setting in the app itself.
I have a computer that is a drone specifically for an outside LED sign. This computer is designed to never shut off and doesn't have any other program on it besides Operating System and the sign software. I need to create a batch file that I can place in the "start-up" folder that will open the program (LEDStudio10) and open the file that I want to play. I have already tried multiple attempts and I was hoping someone out there in sevenforums world would be able to point me in the right direction.
I am installing more RAM in my system, and want to monitor the page file for improvement/reduction in size and use. Other than performance monitor, can I see the page file in either task manager or resource monitor?
