runs on startup, prevents searches.
This thing runs (automatically) on startup and prevents google from searching.
Once 'end task' is used in Task Manager I am able to search again. Its the Asus ACPI center or file 1.00.59 really annoying.jpg Checked System Configuration 'startup' and 'services' but could not find relevant box to uncheck. If I try to search when this is enabled this is the result- cannot search.jpg But I want to disable it, if possible. Last edited by hamishgillan : 06-01-2008 at 10:37 PM. |

Re: runs on startup, prevents searches.
hey i've done some reading and it seems the same thing is problematic with other's computers too, apparently it is to do with hardware stuff and it isn't disableable through windows, you have to go into your bios settings and disable "ACPI APIC Support", which will in turn disable it on startup, if not then look in the services again for the executeable that's running (given by the processes tab in the task manager)
Cheers, Jamey |
