Which of these start-up applications should I remove?
Hello!
I am currently deactivating several programs from my boot-list in an attempt to stop a little problem I am having.
I came across a couple programs that I am not sure would be such a good idea to deactivate, and I am asking you all to help me. :)
Here is a screen shot of a list showing all the items I am confused about.
My computer is an Asus G74Sx and has an Intel i7 processor, so I have no idea why there is an AMD Dual-Core Optimizer in there, I suppose I should deactivate it, but I just want to check with you lot first.
The programs starting with ATK and such I assume have something to do with the functionality of my laptop, such as ACMON, i checked online and found that it controls the button which switches between high performance and all that.
Would disabling these affect my computer in any major way? i.e. make it more unstable, certain laptop specific keys, such as the Fn-key losing functionality etc.?
And the Win 7 DDK driver; it says something about USB 3.0 it's located under (...)\Fresco Logic USB3.0 Host Controller\amd64_host\FlxHCIm.exe. My PC had one USB 3.0 port, would disabling this make it stop working?
Finally there are;
"Finger-sensing Pad" %Program Files%\FSP\fspuip.exe - would diabling this make my touch-pad stop working?
"THXCfg64" C:\Windows\system32\RunDLL32.exe C:\Windows\system32\THXCfg64.dll,RunDLLEntry THXCfg64
and
"THXAudioNB" - Both made by Creative; would removing them affect audio?
This post looks pretty messy and I apologize. Hope I'm not coming across as too much of a greenhorn. ;p
