I have done a fresh install of Windows XP after doing hardware upgrade of
mobo, CPU and memory. It was rough going immediately thereafter, but I have
finally solved the issues causing BSOD's and system instability.
I have now gotten my PC back to where I intend to use it for some time in
the future, but I have a couple of issues which have me stumped.
I have used MSconfig before to stop stuff like WinZip & Quicktime from
running at Startup. I have saved the selective startup configuration, by
clicking on "apply". I restart the PC, the system configuration box comes
up, as it should, but when I click on the box to tell the configuration tool
not to run, it still does. I am not sure if this can be fixed or how to do
this, or if its worth the effort.
Another question is this.....I have any entry on startup that I noticed in
msconfig that I have never seen before called "dumprep 0 -u" . The full
entry is C:\Windows\system32\dumprep 0 -u". immediately thereafter, but I
have finally solved the issues causing BSOD's and system instability. Can
someone advise what this is
and should I be concerned about it.
Lastly, I would like to control some of the stuff running at startup. If I
get a utility like Startup Cop available at PCMag would I cause myself
problems by using such a utility because my PC is not cooperating using
selective startup via msconfig.
Thanks a lot.
