msconfig

[Billys]

When checking msconfig ,everything is checked. When I choose what I
want,everthing is OK until I go back in everything is checked again. Why is
this happening? How can I cure this problem?

A list of "everything" would help. Probably what's happening is that the
programs are resetting themselves. Is one of them Quick Time, per
chance? Or AIM?

You may have a security program that disallows changes to the registry.
Examples are Spybot Search & Destroy's TeaTimer, McAfee, Norton, Ad-aware
Pro. You will need to see what you have installed on your computer and look
at your security programs' configurations.

Billys,

After doing the MSCONFIG thing you must restart your PC and when you do that
and it starts up the first thing you will be asked is if you want to
continue to use this config and you should answer accordingly. Sounds like
to me you are telling it "no I do not want to use this config" so it goes
back to what it was before you restarted? Maybe......?

I think George probably identified what's going on, but ... realize
this: msconfig is a trouble-shooting tool, NOT a way to permanently fix
anything. You need to pursue the right way to use msconfig and what to
do with that information.

Just thought it should be mentioned. 6 months from now you might try to
re-enable something msconfig has off, and wonder why you can't re-enable
it.

If the programs in question have services attached - disable them as well.
To do that under msconfig - go to the Services Tab and check off hide ms
services and/or start/run: services.msc

Others that remain can be removed from the run keys via the registry - Local
Machine and Current User.....

Added info - to clear out old refrences via the startup tab, see line 148

The only thing that is messing up "msconfig" is my internet security. I'm
waiting for an answer from my supplier on how to correct this problem. Thanx
ALL for your suggestions

What do you mean by "my internet security"? Are you trying to disable your
anti-virus/anti-spyware/firewall application (e.g., Norton Internet
Security) via MSCONFIG? If so, why?

 

[Kelly]

Why is that? More info needed.
