T500 - disable pcdrui.exe and pcdrrealtime.p5x ?

(Laptop is a T500 2082, running XP Pro 32bit)
Question is:
How to disable auto-running (temporarily or permanently):
pcdrui.exe
and
pcdrrealtime.p5x
Sometimes one of these will start by itself, and it slows all other programs to the point of being unusable.
I would prefer to:
(1) be able to choose when they auto-start,  (after business hours)
(2) disable the auto-start and start them manually when desired, or
(3) disable/remove them completely

  • Can't disable CTDetect.exe and CTXFISPI.exe in services or mscon

    If anyone knows how to disable thest two useless services, please let me know.
    I've tried the routine methods of utilizing startup in msconfig and CTDetect is unchecked, however it still shows up in Task Manager. CTXFISPI does not show up in msconfig startup but is in Task Manager.
    I noticed I only had one Creative service allowed in startup and that was VolPanel, I've subsequently disabled that with the thought that perhaps this was being used by Creative to start up the other two processes. It doesn't seem to have any effect by disabling it, as CTDectect and CTXFISPI still show up.
    Also, I've disabled Media Source from auto starting upon Windows boot from the tools option in Media Source itself.
    At this point, I cannot get the two processes to stop running and I think it's crap I have to put up with the roughly 8,500 K running in the background.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Jaydisc,
    Thank you for your input, unfortunately that's not the case with these accounts, all the accounts that are stored in this LDAP are OD accounts with OD passwords. These accounts were created using WM directly in the OD machine, and haven't been imported.
    The accounts work normally, users can authenticate and work with these with no issues.
    The only issue remains that disabling "access account" is not stored.
    Further testing shows that changing other settings such as the group, or adding a shortname gets correctly stored.
    I wonder which entries should I look for in the logs to find out more about this issue.

  • Context menu for .exe and .lnk slow becaus of nv3dappshext.dll

    Hi
    I recently made a fresh install of Windows 7 and I'm now noticing that the context menu for .exe and .lnk files opens very slow. With the help of ShellExView it looks like it is caused by C:\Windows\system32\nv3dappshext.dll. If i disable nv3dappshext.dll the
    problem goes away. So my first try was to reinstall all Nvidia drivers but that didn't help. I'm now thinking that there is some other file that makes nv3dappshext.dll corrupt.
    Is there anyone here that might know what's wrong?

    Hi Simon, did you keep this disabled? Did you report to NVID.support?
    NVIDIA are as bad as Microsoft are as bad as Intel, all kinds of application errors (going for the cleanest build on the planet :) so, given that I don't
    have
    any 3D-ready devices (ergo)
    any superfluous NVIDIA programs*
    the DISPLAY DRIVER's all I need, and still I get app issues (recently, disconcertingly, the ominous,
    snail-mode 'Kernel Processing Power' event (cores are disabled because of some event/temp?)
    BSOD/Shell Crash when extending display to AOC 2036 monitor @ 1920x1080, not gaming!
    FIXED by installing NVIDIA's 'system tool' {nTune} (THANKS!!! to Haider
    Ali Khan for the tip! TdrDelay QWORD:8 failed to fix, almost bought a new AC Adapter!) 
    New nTune issues now being monitored....
    * Custom install NVIDIA, only select the driver if you're not a gamer, sterescopic not
    {yet} required if you're in 2D, Physx Engine only for Steam(online) gamers,
    HD AUDIO not required (if you've also got HD Intel doing that for ya :D
    I will fix NVIDIA's and Microsoft's mistakes :D I might even upload my (native virtualised) build when done. It's so slick, so nice to have a tool that works, and one that can keep up with your imagination!)

    I pay seperately for wireless internet as well and it's $60 a month, but I don't mind paying because the service is excellent, when I have issues, which is rare, someone is there the next day and the price has been steady for 2 years now. $30 for 2 GB on ONLY your phone is ridiculous. Verizon's changes every few months.
    Verizon has recently added Share Everything. For those on old pricing that hasn't changed in 18 months. You do know your phone has wi-fi. Is 2 GB low? Sure I can agree to that even though personally I've never used more than 1 GB in a month myself. I would more strongly agree with you if wi-fi wasn't an option on your phone. I keep saying with all the people I hear that are going to switch I expect Verizon's churn rate to be higher than 0.91%. I guess we'll find out in 10 weeks.

  • Iexplore.exe and iexplore.exe*32 running together in Task Manager

    Hello everyone,
    I have a Windows 7 64bit client and when I kick off IE10 I noticed in Task Manager that both iexplore.exe and iexplore.exe*32 are running at the same time; now I thought that it was add-on or add-ons but after I disabling all of them I still get
    the same thing. Could it be a Local Policy in place or maybe an advance setting that I am missing? Not sure where to look now.

     Not sure where to look now.
    That's normal.  The 64-bit process is called a "chrome task" and the 32-bit processes are called "tab tasks".  You can use  WMIC  to check them:
    wmic.exe  Process  where  Name="iexplore.exe"  Get  CommandLine, ProcessId
    you will notice that they are correlated by  SCODEF:  being equal to the chrome task's PID.
    FYI

    The werfault.exe is used for Windows Error Reporting.
    You can go to event viewer to check if there are any error messages.
    For this kind of issue, you may also try Clean Boot to see if this problem persists.

  • My iTunes will not start.  The box on the error message APSDaemon.exe,  And message says "This application failed to start because MSVC80.dll was not found.  Reinstalling may fix."  I did the reinstall and I get the same error.

    My iTunes will not start.  The box on the error message APSDaemon.exe,  And message says "This application failed to start because MSVC80.dll was not found.  Reinstalling may fix."  I did the reinstall and I get the same error.  The error first happened after I approved the an iTurns update.

    Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. Apple has posted a way to fix and you should follow their's first. I finally got to upldate correctly by doing their fix but with one difference. I did the following:
    1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replace)
    2) Restarted computer and still got error message
    3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
    4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not specifically put in their fix but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
    5) Restarted computer.
    6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
    No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try. Even updated my ipad to make sure everything was working.

  • Apple disabled my account and disallowed my credit card!

    I'm so angry at Apple now that I don't know where to begin. There were unauthorized in app purchases from my account and I contacted a Apple asking for a refund. They first refused blaming me or someone else in my household did the purchases. I wrote back that no one but me knew the itunes password. I got a reply that they would make an exception in my case and refund me and for that I'm happy. But they also said this: "To prevent further purchasing, I have disabled your account and have disallowed your Credit card from being used on the iTunes Store.". Now its not even possible to install free apps on my iphone since I only get a message that my account is disabled. I contacted them again asking how I could get my account back and credit card enabled again. They said that there was nothing they could do, I had to make a phone call to their support to get help. Should I call them? I'm scared they will be just as bad and unhelpful as the mail support. I just want this solved as fast as possible, actually I regret asking for a refund. If I knew this would happen I would rather have paid the unauthorized purchase than have go through this ****.
    I really need to get my account back since I have done lots of earlier purchases that I don't want to lose.

    After talking to Apple support over phone, they have now enabled my account, but he couldn't do anything about the disallowed credit card. He said that I should contact Apple again by mail to get my credit card unbanned, so that's what I did. This is part of the reply I got from them:
    "-----, Apple takes the security of your account very seriously as you had earlier reported for unauthorized activity on your credit card, so it has been prevented from being used on the iTunes Store.
    If you have not done so already, please ask your card issuer to cancel the card and provide a replacement card with a new number."
    I never said there were any unauthorized activity on my credit card, there was absolutely no need for them to ban it in the first place. Now they refuse to unban it and suggest that I should get a new credit card (I only have one)? I will not do that, if you do not unban my credit card you lost me as a customer and I will never buy anything from Apple again.
    How can I convince Apple to unban my credit card? What should I do? I can't believe how bad support I got by e-mail from Apple. The person I talked to over phone was very nice and helpful, but the e-mail support is really horrible.

  • How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

    How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
    Is this possible? I don't see any options?
    All I see is this:
      Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for  
       transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
          Your bill is ready for review.
         Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been  received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
         Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

    What phone?
    You would need to disable data on the phone itself.  You wouldn't do it online on your account.
    Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.

  • ITunes will not shutdown I have to Contrl-Alt-Delete and end itunes.exe and itunes help to get it to shut down and stay closed. I did a system restore and went back to 10.5.1 version and updated to 10.5.3 no dice Windows 7 64 bit

    Itunes will not stay close ever since I updated to 10.5.3 version. I try to close program and it pops right back up! The only way to close is open tack manager and stop the itunes.exe and the itunes.help then it will stay close. I did a system restore back to the earlier version of itunes but problem presisted. I finally did the task manager again and downloaded the update to 10.5.3 and this seemed to resolve the problem for awhile but now it is back! Is anybody else experiencing this problem? and where you able to correct it? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit have never had a problem with anything till now. I ran scans of my machine no viruses.

  • Memory leak in oracle.exe and mds.exe

    We are facing Memory leak in oue MDM server. Our environment details
    are as follows;

    Oracle 10.2 patch 2
    windows server 2003 SP1
    XI 7.0 SP 9
    If server is running continuously 3-4 days then Nonpaged memory is
    getting exausted and server does not respond. Now we have to retart the
    windows server manually.
    If we see the task manager it is shows more than 200,000 handles for
    oracle.exe and more than 100,000 handles for mds.exe.
    1: Oracle.exe -- more than 200000 handles ( Approx >5000 is problem)
    2: Mds.exe -- more than 100000 handles ( Approx >5000 is problem)
    Since these applications are not releasing the handles properly so all
    nonpaged memory gets exausted and server stops responding.
    If we restart the mdm server, database and OracleserviceMDMD, then
    nonpaged memory is released. But some times even if we restart these
    services, we do not get nonpaged memory released. So we have to restart
    the windows server.
    please help me if anyone else have faced the same problem.
