abullen Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 NI has installed a bunch (15-20) of background services on my computer (running WIN XP) that handle a range of different tasks. These services are launched at boot up and run regardless of whether I run the LV development environment or not. In addition to using up memory, these services make repeated calls to various databases and this fires off my virus protection software (MacAfee). For many reasons, I would like to turn off these services and run them only when I launch LV. Can anyone comment on whether this is a good idea or even possible. Andrew Quote Link to comment
pallen Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 You can try using MSconfig (not included with XP but it still works) to create a custom startup. Beyond that you might try going into your computer management and changing the services from Automatic to Manual. Download File:post-247-1156971726.zip Quote Link to comment
