View 2 Replies View Relatedmy work colleagues is having trouble with a slow-running computer i thought I'd look at her startup options and make sure there isn't something running that doesn't need to be. I ran msconfig and looked at what she had going at startup, but only the necessary items were checked there. So I took a look at the services panel, using a list from blackviper.com to make sure her computer's settings matched up with those recommendation. However, one of the services listed isn't on the blackviper.com list: Winkcpw. Nor did I get any hits for the name of the service on either Google or using Yahoo search. I'm wondering if anyone here knows what the program is and whether it should be running at all.

You have been so helpful in the past and I am seeking help again. My husband understand this a little more than I so I had him type our concern below. Thank you in advance I hope you have a solution to our problem. Had Windows98
1.(E: Drive) CDROM that came with PC
2.(D: Drive) Installed a 2nd CDROM (TDK) With Read/Write Capabilities (Used Roxio software)
3.(F: Drive) Installed an adapter for about 4 USB ports to upload pictures
Then we installed WindowsXP, Professional Edition.
1.The CDROM that came with PC still worked
2.The Installed CDROM could at first create music CD's but not with the Roxio Software
3.We could not create data CD's
4.We could upload pictures from digital camera for a while.
5.Now, for some reason, the D:, E: or the F: drives are not recognized. When a CD is placed into the D: or E: drive, a message pops up to the screen to �enter a CD into the drive�. We went into the Device Manager in the Control Panel, but it shows that all of the drives are working properly. I�m thinking that it might have something to do with the Windows Registry, but that�s scary. And since it�s WindowsXP, the boot up disk is actually the CD and that�s no good, because the CD player is inoperable.
When i try to use msconfig to turn off several startup programs, no matter what I chose, when I click apply and ok, and close msconfig, and then open msconfig again, all the programs i tried to turn off have a tick by them again... there seems to be some junk programs there - i use AntiVir Guard as virus protection, so I guess it's unlikely to be a virus

View 5 Replies View RelatedI found something in my Add/Remove Programs called "My Way Search Assistant", which I removed - evidently successfully,as there is no trace of it in registry or programs. My problem is, however, the entry in Add/Remove remains but only with the name "My Way Search Assistant" and when I click on it all that shows is "Used Rarely"It has no size and no longer has any option to change or remove.I have looked for registry entries there are none is there a program listed.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI know that when you have windows 98 and you type msconfig in the run then you click on the tab saying startup you can remove unnecessary things from loading that will only slow down your computer.But on windows 2000 pro when I type msconfig it says it is not there - what do I use to remove unnecessary things from starting up that are not kneeded to run the computer ?And what should stay there and load at startup so the computer has no problems ?
