When computer is booted up, immediately realschedule.exe
uses 95% of the computer's resources. I have to end the
process in the task manager before I can do anything on
the pc. What is realschedule.exe? Can I disable it
without any negative effects? I don't want to have to end
this process every time I boot up the pc. HELLLLLP!!!

Internet search yields:

TkBellExe

Realsched Evntsvc.exe

or

Realsched.exe

(Real Networks) Real Networks Scheduler which gets
installed with RealOne Player. Under Win9x/ME this task
shows as TKBELLEXE, and as EVNTSVC under Windows 2000/XP
or REALSCHED depending on which version of RealOne Player
you have installed. From our experience, everything that
applies to EVNTSVC below, also applies to REALSCHED.
RNDAL elsewhere in these Task List pages is a good
starting point to read about RealOne Player. Next, a 15-
Jun-2002 extract from the RealOne Player License
Agreement that is specific to EVNTSVC (the said License
Agreement was updated on 25-Nov-2002 by Real Networks and
EVNTSVC was replaced by REALSCHED in that version of the
License Agreement) : An application Scheduler, known
as "evntsvc.exe," is installed along with RealOne Player.
Once installed, it runs independently of RealOne Player.
The Scheduler does not collect personal information or
communicate with RealNetworks' servers. It is used to
remind AutoUpdate and Message Center to perform their
tasks at pre-scheduled intervals. The Scheduler is also
used to automatically launch RealNetworks' Media Type
Helper. The Media Type Helper ensures the system is
configured for correct operation of the RealOne Player
with Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions ("MIME")
types, file extensions, Internet protocols and other
media types. If a media type has been assigned a
different action by a different application, Media Type
Helper may override the association and substitute its
own association.

Recommendation :
If reading about RNDAL did not put you off, then read on.
RealPlayer Classic used to be one of the most needed
pieces of software on a PC. Its successor, RealOne
Player, is vying for the title of the most hated piece of
software. For a start, on many PCs EVNTSVC slows down
boot-ups unacceptably, using up to 90% of CPU time at
times. There have also been reports of EVNTSVC dropping
advertising shortcuts onto the desktop during idle times.
Next, if you try to disable EVNTSVC via The Ultimate
Troubleshooter or MSCONFIG, RealOne Player checks to see
if it has been deleted from the Registry and re-instates
it as a startup item ! To be fair, there is a facility
within RealOne Player to "only perform automatic services
while RealOne Player is in use". As stated in our write-
up for RNDAL, our recommendation is to de-install RealOne
Player and either use the classic RealPlayer, or
something else such as WinAmp. If you absolutely want to
keep RealOne Player, we suggest you rename EVNTSVC.EXE to
EVNTSVC.EXE.OLD (or REALSCHED.EXE to REALSCHED.OLD) as
that is the only way to make absolutely certain that it
never runs, and RealOne Player works fine without it.
