Realsched.exe

[Guest]

Whenever I start my system (Windows XP) it runs very slow. When I start Task
Manager it shows that I am using 100% CPU and Realsched.exe is the
program/process that it using the CPU. I can stop the process and it speads
up my computer until I shut down. When I start up again I have the same
problem. Not sure what to do. Thanks

Disable RealPlayer realsched.exe

When you install RealPlayer, it will add a process called
realsched.exe to your startup configuration. realsched.exe periodically
checks the Internet for updates. Even worse, even if you take it out of your
startup configuration in the registry, simply running RealPlayer will make
it return. While realsched.exe is relatively benign, I don't like processes
running on my system without my permission. Here's how to disable it.


- Launch RealPlayer
- Click on the Tools and choose Preferences
- Under the Automatic Services category, choose Message Center
- Press the button marked "Configure Message Center"
- UNCHECK the option labeled Checking - Check for new messages
- Choose Yes when the warning pops-up


If you haven't already, run MSCONFIG to remove it from your
startup configuration as well.
