What can/cannot be disabled
I want to speed up my computer start-up performance, so I've went into system configuration then the startup tab. What I want to know is what is safe to disable and what isn't? Here is a list:
Intel(R) Common User Interface (igfxtray.exe) Inter(R) Common User Interface (igfxpers.exe) Microsoft Windows Script Host Synaptics Pointing Device Driver - (this is the touch pad isn't it?) If it is - I don't use the touch pad at all. Power Management (Acer) Microsoft IntelliPoint Realtek HD Audio Manager HD Audio Background Process Launch Manager (LManager.exe) IAStorIcon I also have Acer Backup Manager but that appears to be disabled already. So which ones is safe to disable? I'm certain that Realtek is the systems audio devices. Personally, I don't need them at start-up, but the question is what ones are safe to disable? I don't want to cause any issues with the computer. Thanks. |

ALL that stuff you can disable. I miss the AV program. That should stay - if you had one.
Should there really be a problem (which I doubt), you can always reenable the bugger. There is also the option to set the one or the other to delayed start (maybe 2 min). Then you won't notice the startup. |

Install Microsoft Security Essentials
now and run a full scan. Leave everything else unchecked. They are freeloaders on your startup, RAM, CPU and spy on you. |

Right, Norton does not show in the startups.

See image here. I have configured Norton to aggressive at start-up. Should Norton be showing up in the start-up panel? Because Norton is showing that it is secure, etc.

No, no. You are OK. My Norton is not in the startups either. They have their own ways.
