Spring Clean
After a bit of a problem with my system last weekend, I found several files which I am unsure of what they are for.
Is there a way to check and clear any useless files? Hopefully this should free up some space and speed things up slightly. Does anyone know what the following files are from my windows Start up, - EnsoniqMixer - Starter.exe - LoadQM - loadqm.exe - Always asks for net access thru zone alarm?!! Is it dodgy? - LoadPowerProfile - rundll32.exe powerprof.dll - True Vector - Vsmon.exe Btw I did try the search, (in case it has been done before but it was disabled!) Cheers all :ok: |
:O
Yes you were right! powrprof.dll Thanks for reply. I know there is a website i can use to check these files. What exactly does LoadQM do? Seems to function ok without allowing interent access. :ok: |
Many thanks TCS!
Do you know a way of checking other files/folders on my system to see if they are actually needed or obsolete from previous uninstalls? |
As far as processes and tasklist items goes, you might find this quite useful.

boeingbus2002,
The best Spring Cleaning you could do is a fresh install of your OS with all the latest drivers. Then install only the programs you are currently using and leave off all the programs you stopped using in the past year. It will do wonders for an ailing system. Take Care, Richard |
I agree with Richard - nothing beats a nice clean install - having too much software and unused programs on your computer can open up a can of problem worms hehe
