Greetings Tom,

I guess you can untick them all. They seem to be safe :) If one of the
applications don't work just reinstall it :)

Thanks and best of luck!
 
When I open msconfig/startup I see some entries that I am not sure about. I
was hoping someone could tell me if I need them to start up or not.
Some of the entries I can see that I probably need because they are in the
path with Symantec, others I am not sure about. Can I uncheck these without
any problem?

In question are...
"C:\program files\quicktime\qttask.exe"-atbootimte

RUNDLL32.exe"C:\programfiles\wildtangent\apps\cda\cdaengine0400.dll",cdaengi
nemail

PELMICED.EXE

"C:\program files\commonfiles\real\update_ob\realsched.exe-osboot

"C:\program files\hpdvd\umbrella\dvdtray.exe

"C:\program files\hpdvd\umbrella\dvdbitset.exe/NOUI

"C:\progra~1\symnet~1\sndmon.exe

I know some of these are for my DVD writer, but I would like to know if I
can uncheck them, i am sure they are using memory that could be used better
someplace else.

Thanks for all the help,
Tcoop
