Default Resources
I trust they are gone now. Ah! If only we all had the "eyes of Glee" for
these things!

| Wow, there were a lot of fff___.tmp files.

don't

| |
| | | command: mstask.exe (Scheduling Agent) - in my SysTray
| |
| | Do you really use that, the Task Scheduler? (Don't worry about
"Tune-up
| | Application Start-- Walign", in there. And run Scandisk/Defrag on
your
| | own.) If not, use it's menu to turn off it's start at boot. (You may
| | still use it occasionally by "START, Programs, Accessories, System
| | Tools, Scheduled Tasks", if you ever have a need to.). HOWEVER, it
will
| | put itself back into the Startup Group, unless you remove...
| |
| | | command: c:\windows\SYSTEM\wucrtupd.exe -startup (Windows
Critical
| | Update)
| |
| | ...the "MS Critical Update Notification Tool". It was accessing my
HDD
| | every five minutes. It can be uninstalled in "Control Panel,
Add/Remove
| | Programs". Then, occasionally, "START, Windows Update" on your own.
| |
| | | command: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MDM.EXE (Machine Debug Manager)
| |
| | ......Quote of Glee.......
| | You find that you are accumulating a lot of temporary files in your
| | Windows directory that start with fff and have a .tmp extension,
similar
| | to this:
| |
| | fff137e3_{3BC6A120-EFC3-11D2-96F7-D0634EC10000}.tmp
| | fff137e3_{3BC6A121-EFC3-11D2-96F7-D0634EC10000}.tmp
| |
| | These files are created by a bug in certain versions of
MDM.EXE....two
| | every time it is loaded.
| | See he
| | OFF2000: Files Whose Name Begins with 'fff' Appear in Windows
Folder"
| | http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=221438
| |
| | OFF: How to Turn Off Machine Debug Manager, Mdm.exe
| | http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321410
| |
| | MDM is loaded with programs such as Office, and Microsoft Script
| | Debugger.
| | The fix is to prevent it from loading, by renaming the file, and
| | removing its reference in the startup group.
| |
| | Rename MDM.EXE to MDM.EX_ or MDM.BAD, or something like that.
| | Look for any reference to MDM.EXE in the Startup folders:
| | C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
| | C:\Windows\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
| | and in the registry run key:
| | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
| | and delete it.
| |
| | Then delete all those fff___.tmp files.
| | Note that if you reinstall any of the programs that added MDM.EXE,
you
| | may get it loaded back, and will have to disable it again.

| | | OK, I should have done this before bothering this group ... I
found a
| | cool
| | | website (http://answersthatwork.com/) that explains almost
everything
| | that
| | | was on my list. I removed 6 from my startup:
| | |
| | | loadqm.exe
| | | NvMcTray.dll
| | | taskmon.exe
| | | TeaTimer.exe
| | | OSA9.exe
| | | DRWATSON.EXE
| | |
| | | I could remove the Resource Meter because it takes up resources
also,
| | but
| | | I've gotten to where I keep an eye on it to see if I need to
reboot.
| | |
| | | We'll see if removing these improves my performance.
| | |
| | | I still would like to know if there is some other tweaking I could
do.

| | | Thanks,

| | | | You seem to have a LOT of stuff in there!!! You can (with
| | prudence)
| | | | selectively uncheck each of the fluffy ones in there, one by
one, to
| | find
| | | | out which ones are the real hogs.
| | | |
| | | | Why are you even running some of those in the startup, like (for
| | example)
| | | Dr
| | | | Watson? I don't know what the APC thing is, and Norton can be
a
| | bit of a
| | | | hog too.
| | | |
| | | | Let's see if some others can weigh in with more specifics.

| | | | I am having big problems with my Win 98 SE PC having the

| | | | Is something listed above sucking up resources? Is there
