How do I disable the automatic startup on HP Photosmart Premier when I turn my computer on?

Someone else posted ths question a month ago, but still no answers. Anyone?
How do I disable the automatic startup on HP Photosmart Premier when I turn my computer on?
Windows XP, SP3 operating system recently re-installed so I also reinstalled my printer software. Now, for some reason, each time I turn my computer on, my HP Photosmart C4100 all-in-one photosmart premier software opens. It is not in my startup. This slows down my computer terribly, which is why I never used the program before my re-install. How can I disable this feature? I only print, I don't use it for photos.
Any help here is appreciated.

Run msconfig.exe from the start button (type in msconfig). When it comes up go to the Startup tab and find and deselect the HP product you do not want to start. Save and reboot computer. Now try.

I am sorry Erickkasner but there is no longer direct support provided for Creative Suite 5.5 installation issues.

Disable Automount

We are using Oracle 10g RAC in Window 2003 environment. During the installation, we enable automount according to the installation manual and install the RAC (Two node) on a SAN storage. We use this oracle rac as a disaster backup so after the installation, we would like to stop all oracle and rac service and dismount from the SAN disk. Given that the server need to be started without mounting the SAN disk, could we simple disable automount and reboot ? Any other way recommended ? Thanks !!

This server is mainly for disaster recovery. We have another set of server that is active and running. The SAN disk will be available only on DR situation. Therefore, after the installation, we would set all oracle service to manual and restart. After the restart, there should be no oracle process running. However, we have to make sure that the SAN disk are not mount. Let say, E, F, G are the ocr, vote, and data disk, we would like to make it E, F, G not exist in the system unless in DR situation. Any advise ?

Disable wifi at startup

Hello, I got a question : Can i automatically disable wifi at startup but it should be easy to enable it with the HP Wireless button.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We got a company that mainly works on cable but the wifi automatically connects to the wireless network.That will take away performancy and fills the wireless lease for nothing. I know there is an option in the HP Bios that it will only connect to wireless or only to the cable. But this is not a perfect solution for us. I'm looking for an option that at startup the wifi is off but the workers can start it by pressing the wifi button and it will connect to the company's wireless network. Thanks in advance allready!

Do you mean disabling the power-on beep or disabling all audio?

Disable portal,km startup in multi-application dual stack

Hello,
We have a dual stack ECC installation with ESS,MSS,Portal and XECO on the java stack. We are currenty trying to run debug against the XECO components on the java stack. It appears that the debugger is getting very slow due to the multiple java applications. We would like to disble portal(km,cm), ess and mss for a few weeks while we complete our debugging with XECO.
Is there anyway to disable the startup of portal,ess and mss?
thanks in advance
Vipin

Hello Vipin,
You can turn off any Java application easily from Visual Admin.
Just login into Visual Admin and goto Cluster -> Server -> Services -> Deploy then in Runtime tab select Radio button Application. You will see all your Java application here. If you see check mark in front of your application, the app is running but if you see "x" sign then it's stopped.
Select your application and click on "Stop Application" button on right side.
Hope this will help you.

How to restore disabled chimes at startup?

Somehow my startup chimes have been disabled, and I'd like to return it to its normal setting. How do I do this?

If you have an external speaker system plugged into the audio output jack, unplug it, adjust the internal speaker volume and then plug the external speakers back in.
If you are using StartupSound.prefPane, refer to this > StartupSound.prefPane link for adjusting and/or uninstalling the utility.

Recent History stopped working;All extensions keep being disabled upon FF startup.

Before installing version 13.0.1, FF would save my history. Now for some reason, it doesn't.
Along with this, version 13.0.1 had been set to NOT display thumbnails of past viewed webpages upon startup. Now it does. In the process of troubleshooting, I finally got rid of this problem but that's when the previously described "no history" problem came up.

Hey cor-el, thanks for replying. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how one looks at it) my problems with FireFox disappeared as quickly as they appeared.
So I took a deep breath and installed FF13 over version 12 and what to my surprise - the problems I had been experiencing all went away. My browsing history started working again, my plugins were not all disabled when I restarted FF13, and I figured out how to start FF13 with a blank page instead of with the new tabs page. (That, my friend, is a huge blunder on the part of Mozilla, and I have read that a fix is imminent - July 17 IIRC.
'''Corollary to Murphy's Law:''' ''Problems that go away by themselves come back by themselves. ''
So thanks for hanging in there with me. I appreciate it, especially your explanation of what happens when the cache is cleared.
Still a couple of (new) problems but I'll describe those in another thread.

Launch apps one at a time and disable iTunes at startup

Hey guys
I have two questions:
The first one is, is there any way to launch apps at Login but one after the other and not all at the same time? For instance, I would like to launch Adobe Ps, then Ai after Ps loaded, then Mail, and then others. Is this possible?
The second one is, how can I disable iTunes from launching at Login? I've checked my Starup Items and iTunes is not on the list. Also, I've right clicked the icon in the Dock and "Open at Login" is disable as well but it keeps launching every single time I start up my computer.
Any helps is much appreciated.

In my case, I do need to launch Adobe Ps, Ai and Br, Mail, iChat, Safari, Pages and Cinema 4D every single day for work. Almost everything opens up fast, but like you said, Adobe apps take a lot of memory so they take longer to open. I really hate waiting for these to open up, so I'm looking for a way to make them launch one at a time as soon as I get into the office while I take care of some paper work.
In that case I don't think you need to put in a delay in between the apps to make sure the next only opens after the earlier is finished. I open 5 apps every morning with no delay in between and it always goes smoothly and very fast. Try that first then you can go back and edit the workflow to add the pauses in if you need it.
Is Automator user friendly? I've never used it before. Is it very easy to understand and setup?
It's very user friendly. I've only made about 3 apps (each workflow can be saved as it's own application), the launching multiple application being the last one and it was very easy, took about 5 minutes to create. Of course, someone on here had told me how to do it so that made it very easy.
Unfortunately, I haven't upgraded to Leopard yet and it looks like the interface is very different from Tiger. In Tiger when you open Automator it gives you a list of applications on the left, click on one to select and it will then give you a list of actions available for that application just to the right of that. Double click on the action and it adds it in as your workflow in a large space on the right.
In this case the app I chose was Finder, then Launch Application action. When that is added to the workflow I then had a popup menu of all my apps in my Applications folder so I would just choose the one I wanted. There is even an Other at the bottom to choose an app from elsewhere in case you have any outside the main Applications folder.
To add the pause select Automator from the left hand list of apps and you get a new list of actions, double click on Wait For User Action, which it will put right under the app you are launching as the next step. You can then set the time for how long you want it to wait.
Then go back to Finder and Launch Application and repeat the process for each app you want to open. All the actions in the workflow can be dragged around as much as you want to create a different order.
Very simple. Leopard's interface works differently but I suspect you still need to choose Finder to get to Launch Application and Automator to get to Wait For User Action. Each app has it's own set of actions it can perform but they can all be added together for a workflow.
Then save it as an app and put it on your desktop, or where ever you want, so you can double click to run it then walk away until it's done. Even after saving it you can go back in and edit it at any time, if you wanted to take an app out or add one in, for instance, or want a shorter or longer pause time, etc.

Disabling automount of 2nd local hd-partition?

Hello!
This question is regarding a MacBook Core Duo running Leopard (10.5.8) - not the G4 mentioned in sig-line.
I have several partitions on my internal hard drive (currently 2 versions Mac OS and bootcamp for multi-boot purposes).
For several reasons I would like to prevent the second partition (it's MacHFS+ journaled and holds currently Snow Leopard, but this may change) from mounting when I am booting from the first (Leopard) partition, as I do usually.
Please forgive me. I have only very little knowledge of BSD but am brave to mess with the terminal, as long I got some idea what I am doing.
(Under System 7 this was merely a click on a check-button "Automount" in disk utility. But since they abandoned the original Macintosh operating system for the recent Mach-BSD-Quartz combo I went from mature, well informed user to dummy. Not pleasant. Sorry, just had to express my strong feelings.)
Possible solutions:
I have read about editing a file fstab in /etc. However most references about this solution is from earlier system versions (10.2-10.4.x).
Is this approach still the preferred way to prevent mounting of partitions of local disks?
However: A good reference to or an actual walkthrough for BSD-dummies is very welcome.
(PS: I also read about a login-scipt which unmounted the already mounted 2nd partition. This is not very elegant, but may do its job. So more info about this solution is also welcome).
Thank you for any help!
Regards,
A.

Is it safe to disable simplepass from startup?

it only asks to swipe after a crash.
so if i were to disable it, does that mean i wouldn't be able to log in after a crash, or it would bypass it completely?

Commentary
Still applies -- If you have disabled the password login and that login method fails, you may be stuck.
How stuck depends on which Operating System you are running - how well you know the system, your skill set, how close you are to help.
You need a viable login method that does not fail or an alternate system on which you can count when one method fails.
This does not mean you must use the fingerprint scanner -- it means you must have a reliable means of getting into the computer and that you do not outsmart yourself if the method you use fails. Bypassing the password and switching off the scanner and not having another account available with a password that you can use in an emergency might be tempting fate. If you know how get into the system on the cmd line, create an account using cmd line, set the account type, then log into the system, fix the login setup, you are OK.
I am not trying to be rude -- I am being realistic. We have seen it. Folks do not want to type in a password, do not want to use the scanner, do not want to use a picture password -- they want it to be easy -- and Poof! It falls apart and the system locks up.
The easier solution might be to create an extra admin privleged account, a local account, that you do not use -- keep it around with a nice password that you keep in a secure place -- and then do whatever you want with your current account. Disable the SimplePass, remove it, don't use a password -- whatever. Just do not leave yourself in a situation where you do not know enough to save yourself if it breaks.
It is not going to break at 3:30 in the afternoon on a Tuesday. It is going to break in the middle of the night when everything else has already gone wrong that day and your stock market is in the toilet.

Backups are nice to have, too.
Remember - there are only two kinds of people in the world:
People who have lost their data
People who will lose their data
You are one of these kinds of people -- make sure that when it happens to you that you have your backups!

Put the important stuff on a USB stick -- and keep it close. Don't leave critical data where you cannot get to it if the computer dies.

Can I disable this from startup?

Hi,
I have Windows 7 SP1 x64. Can I remove AsioThk32Reg from startup? What would be the result?
Thanks,

Hi,
A quick google search says that this has got something to do with ASIO and you don't need this for startup.

Disable programs at startup on nb200

I recently reformatted a nb200 that was given to me. With the computer in factory state and all the bloatware removed, it is still really really slow. I check the task manager and 3/4 of the ram is taken up when the computer is idle, and when I'm using it for simple tasks the cpu usage is never below 80%. Most of the usage is taken up by toshiba processes. Are most of these disableable? I'm pretty sure they're only there for protection but not required. Which ones can I disable at start-up?
These are all the programs:
TOSHIBA Sleep
Toshiba HDD Protection
Toshibal Power Saver
toshiba Btuton Support
toshiba zooming Utility
Toshiba Flash Cards
Toshiba eco Utility
Toshiba PC Health Monitor
SmartFaceVWatcher
Toshiba Volume Regulator
toshiba HDD SSD Alert
Messge Center
Toshiba ReelTime
KeNotify Application
SVPWUTIL Application
Toshiba Service Station
Toshiba Web Camera Application
HWSetup

You may disable all of it if you want to, just leave the Alps Pointing Device enabled so your touchpad will still work and your Antivirus too.
Don't worry, your netbook will still connect to the internet because the OS is the one managing the services of it.
