EMC10 startup options

[bray]

Finally took the plunge and got it at a good price from Amazon with a $20 rebate so net cost $50. Not bad at all.

 

Running Windows Vista Home Premium on a 3 month old system, and the installation went ok albeit lengthy. I guess for the amount of stuff in the suite it is to be expected.

 

After install and reboot, ny HD started thrashing around and working like beehive. Of course the system became very sluggish and programs slow to open etc. I tried tracking down the reason from task manager and it seems and found some roxio service running at 20-25% CPU usage. I cant recall the file name.

 

I also see a few roxio items in startup from msconfig. I dont know what each does for now and I cant find anything in the program options that shows start up options so I can decided what to run or not run.

 

So my question is where would I go to find such information in the Roxio suite? The usual options has nothing like that

 

Hope I explained correctly

 

Thanks

If you open media manager, you can select the folders that you want it to monitor. You can also tell it to stop watching. (or start watching if you wanrt to update its database).

This is supposed to happen only the first time it's installed and it finds all the media. I've just turned mine off shortly after install......Roxwatchtray is one to take out of the startup.

Go to START--RUN-- and enter "msconfig" (without the quotes) Click on the tab "STARTUP" and you will see the programs that are running when you boot up. You can check to see in one of the columns who the Manufacturer is and can tell pretty much by that which ones you might want to remove.

Thanks Frank. I have done that.

Folder monitor seems to be the one that slows things down.
