Start-up programs

Hi Rojo!

Here is what to Disable…

Raptr Desktop App – When you need to use this, just open it up.

Catalyst Control Center – Just right-click an empty space on your desktop for an option on ATI graphics if you need to mess with the Catalyst Control Center.

HP Message Service – This reminds you to go buy stuff from them. It is adware.

brs (Cyberlink) – I assume this is a video player? I see no reason for anything from Cyberlink to be always on.

Delayed AppStarter.exe – It helps you get connected to a Wireless router when you first setup your laptop. Also, I know you know more than enough about PCs to take the extra 4 seconds to go into your network settings and open it up if you ever want to connect to a new wireless. You don’t need this at all.

I am not sure about these. So keep them until you find out exactly what they do.

Persistence Module (Intel)

hkcmd (Intel)

I skipped over stuff I see you already disabled. No need to go into those individually, I agree with your choice to disable them.

I have a question for you, how do you disable programs from starting up on their own? Do you use the Run Command “MSConfig” OR do you use some sort of 3rd party software like CCleaner?

I am assuming your laptop has 2 video cards in it, Intel and ATI? If so, don’t mess with any of the Intel graphic start up stuff, since 1 of them may be in charge of switching graphics cards when you play games like Tera. If you don’t have 2 graphic cards, then disable everything that has to do with graphics.

“Program” “NCUPdateHelper.exe” – During the lifetimeof this laptop, have you installed Aion, Lineage II, Wildstar or Guild Wars 2? That is associated with at least one of the games I mentioned. If you no longer play that game you may disable it.
