I know I'm a newbee at this so maybe somebody can help. I have auto updates turned on but I checked for updates and Windows genuine advantage validation tool (kb892130) was available. Tried to update it and got error code 0x80246008. Looked at all my past updates and they all seem to have failed with same error code. Does this mean all my auto updates have failed?

Thank you geekgirl, I will try this tomorrow and update my progress.

kybest

Thank you, followed directions and did get error code 2147024894. Was able to correct and install updates all 57 of them. Process time took aprox 55 min. I still have problems with starting up time, takes 5 to 10 min. to be able to use computer after booting up, I posted it in laptop section. Did not get any responce to the post maybe I worded it wrong. Thanks again for all the help.

Geekgirl

At what process of boot up is it hanging, at the Windows logo?

kybest

Sometimes the logo SATELLITE just comes up on the screen and I have to manually shut down. But when it starts up fine and I click on an icon it takes up to 10 min. to open up. I got a reply on my post in the laptop section about the 5 step process that I have to look into. Also I use to use AOL but not any more, I don't want to have anything to do with it anymore. If I go into add remove programs will I get rid of all of it that way? Their messenger and anti spyware and such.

Geekgirl

Yes you should be able to remove AOL via Add/Remove Programs.

I know this looks bad, but when I open that link I don't know what to click on to download.

Geekgirl

Thats not exactly what I wanted but it will do.
If you look at the 04 entries in your log, those are all running when your computer boots up. That is what is slowing down your system. Some of them you need while others you dont. Spysweeper I know for a fact always slows the system while booting. You also have alot of Toshisba and Intel apps running.

Let me look this over and come back and let you know what you can stop from running when the system boots.
Be patient with me I am very busy atm

Kalim

Yeah you have too many startup processes and services running that are unnecessary. I'll let Geekgirl handle it.

Geekgirl

These programs are non-essential system processes and can safely be terminated via System Configuration Utility


igfxtray.exe
SynTPLpr.exe
thotkey.exe-If you disabling this process the function keys will not work. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling it is down to user preference.
SmoothView.exe-It is used to offer Zoom functionality in common application such as MS-Office. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling it is down to user preference.
TvsTray.exe-It gives you easy access to the sound settings on Toshiba Notebooks. This Tray Icon is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling it is down to user preference.
TPSMain.exe-It manages the power save function to make sure that the system goes to a power saver mode when not used. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling it is down to user preference.
PortAOL.exe-It is an application that comes with AOL used to configure and optimize internet settings and speed. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling it is down to user preference.
qttask.exe
realsched.exe-schedules for manual update checks for Real Networks products. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference however disabling may prevent notification of updates.
msmsgs.exe-A tray bar is also installed alongside this process for easy access to its features which include Internet chat, file sharing and audio/video conferencing. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling it is down to user preference.
ypager.exe
reader_sl.exe
aoltray.exe
hpqtra08.exe
aolload.exe

OK, I downloaded the System Configuration Utility now what? I am new at this stuff so please be patient with me.

Kalim

You downloaded it?

Its also known as MSConfig on your system and you already have it installed.

Hit Start>Run> msconfig and enter.

Then go to the "Startups" tab. That's where you'll need to "uncheck" the boxes to disable all that GG has told you to > Apply > OK.

Girderman

Before you do anything, post a link to the program/file you downloaded. Kalim I am concerned the User has run some malware-infected 3rd Party App that will be causing more problems.

kybest

I went to TOOLS, Windows Update and and downloaded it from Microsoft Download Center. I did not know I already had this program or how to run it. I have not done anything with it so far.

koala

OK, you're doing fine. Go to Start > Run, type msconfig and click the OK button, then click the Startup tab at the top of the msconfig window and remove the ticks from the entries in Geekgirl's last post, click Apply and OK, then reboot.

Girderman

Sorry for the late replay. Do as koala suggests, and just ignore the msconfig executable you downloaded.

kybest

Ok before I do this will I be able to click on them again if I want them to start up? Also I have Regcure which cleans my registry, it has a manage startup feature which you can go in and disable what you want at startup time. What about using this instead?
