'Disable Zero Configuration.exe'
FILE: WinXPDisableZeroConfiguration.exe
Our laptop running Win XP Pro is taking inordinate time to boot up. Looking at the Windows Task Manager/Performance shows the CPU running at 100%. Referring to the WDT/Processes shows the above program consuming anything above 91% of the processor power. Even some minutes later this progam is still running at this sort of CPU power. Searching MS support reveals nothing on this file and the same goes for a global search on the web. Please can anyone advise of 1) What the problem is which is causing this file to be active and 2) Why is it consuming so much CPU power? Any help will be much appreciated. Nigel |

Re- 'Disable Zero Configuration.exe'
I noticed you didn't include virus and spyware\maleware
scans for those free downloads to help with everything they promise but don't tell you about startup programs and registry items that fool with your pc. If you don't have reliable spyware/maleware removal, you can get it with spybot free at : http://www.net-integration.net/index.php? page=spybotsd#clean I suggest you run the spybot scan. It will run awhile. WHen finished ,clean recommended. Some entries will be in memory. The program ask if you would like to fix at next boot up. Reply yes It has an automatic backup so you can restore fixes. You'll also need to remove startup registry items also. Highjackthis is available free at: http://www.net-integration.net/index.php? They can help you with interpreting logs. Just follow their instructions. You can wait for their interpretation or you can look for 04 startup entries. I suggest you delete any software startup thats not store bought software. If you don't have virus protection, Symantec test your computer's exposer to online threats. http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp? langid=ie&venid=sym -----Original Message----- FILE: WinXPDisableZeroConfiguration.exe Our laptop running Win XP Pro is taking inordinate time to boot up.

Re- 'Disable Zero Configuration.exe'
Larry
Thanks very much indeed for your invaluable help. Going to your recommended URLs did not reveal Hijackthis (we found that separately) however, from those URLs we have bought both XoftSpy and RegRun (neither of which appear to be free now) and these are a great help.
