Resources

[DebbieG]

I am having big problems with my Win 98 SE PC having the resources sucked
out of it. Right now, according to the Resource Meter, it is:

System Resources: 32%
User Resources: 32%
GDI Resources: 63%

I usually have to reboot in order to get it back up. Usually, I'm running
Outlook, Outlook Express, and maybe a couple of IE windows. I have 256 RAM.

I don't know what to tweak in order to fix this problem. Here's what is in
my startup:

command: C:\PROGRAM FILES\GRISOFT\AVG6\avgcc32.exe /startup - in my SysTray
command: C:\PROGRA~1\GRISOFT\AVG6\Avgserv9.exe

command: c:\windows\SYSTEM\wucrtupd.exe -startup (Windows Critical Update)

command: DAW9532.EXE (3COM network card)

command: c:\mouse\system\em_exec.exe (mouse)

command: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\hpztsb04.exe (HP DeskJet Taskbar Utility) - in my
SysTray

command: Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme
command: Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme

command: loadqm.exe (MSN Queue Manager)

command: C:\NKLINE GLOBAL\MODEM BOOSTER\ModemBtr.exe - in my SysTray

command: c:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\NAVAPW32.EXE (Norton anti-virus) - in my
SysTray
command: C:\PROGRA~1\SYMNET~1\SNDMON.EXE (Norton Live Update)

command: RUNDLL32.EXE c:\windows\SYSTEM\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup (NVIDIA Media
Center Library)
command: RUNDLL32.EXE c:\windows\SYSTEM\NvMcTray.dll,NvTaskbarInit
command: nwiz.exe /install (NVIDIA nView Wizard)

command: c:\windows\scanregw.exe /autorun (Scan Registry)

command: c:\windows\taskmon.exe (Task Monitor)

command: C:\Program Files\APC\APC PowerChute Personal Edition\mainserv.exe
command: C:\Program Files\APC\APC PowerChute Personal Edition\Display.exe
(APC UPS Status) - in my SysTray

command: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MDM.EXE (Machine Debug Manager)

command: mstask.exe (Scheduling Agent) - in my SysTray

command: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Script
Blocking\SBServ.exe" -reg

command: C:\PROGRAM FILES\SPYBOT - SEARCH & DESTROY\TeaTimer.exe - in my
SysTray

command: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE

command: C:\WINDOWS\RSRCMTR.EXE (Resource Meter) - in my SysTray

command: C:\WINDOWS\DRWATSON.EXE - in my SysTray

Is something listed above sucking up resources? Is there something that I
should uncheck? Is there somewhere else I should be checking? This is
getting so old having to restart.

Thanks for any advice,
Debbie

You seem to have a LOT of stuff in there!!! You can (with prudence)
selectively uncheck each of the fluffy ones in there, one by one, to find
out which ones are the real hogs.

Why are you even running some of those in the startup, like (for example) Dr
Watson? I don't know what the APC thing is, and Norton can be a bit of a
hog too.

Let's see if some others can weigh in with more specifics.

OK, I should have done this before bothering this group ... I found a cool
website (http://answersthatwork.com/) that explains almost everything that
was on my list. I removed 6 from my startup:

loadqm.exe
NvMcTray.dll
taskmon.exe
TeaTimer.exe
OSA9.exe
DRWATSON.EXE

I could remove the Resource Meter because it takes up resources also, but
I've gotten to where I keep an eye on it to see if I need to reboot.

We'll see if removing these improves my performance.

I still would like to know if there is some other tweaking I could do.

Thanks,
Debbie

Glad you found something to help steer you through the resolution of
this problem. My comments for whatever they're worth are;
1) You appear to be running two AV programs, one of which is an known
resource hog as Richard Harper indicated. As long as you using
Grisoft, you do not require Norton. Disable it and watch the
improvement.
2) I note you have removed from your STARTUP Microsoft Office. I don't
know if this automatically stops the known resource hog FIND FAST, or
if it must be disabled separately . Maybe someone with knowledge will
chime in.

I agree - get rid of Norton, and Find Fast (that is probably in Control
Panel).

APC is American Power Conversion, sellers of UPS's.
Power Chute is there system power monitor which kicks in if power is =
lost. Can also shutdown after set amount of minutes of power loss and =
then restart when power is regained, supposedly without loss of data.

I think you've done a good, good start, (but I like DrWatson). I don't
know what a bunch of those are. I do think there is a chance SpyBot is
hoggy. Can you easily disable it to see?

| > command: mstask.exe (Scheduling Agent) - in my SysTray

Do you really use that, the Task Scheduler? (Don't worry about "Tune-up
Application Start-- Walign", in there. And run Scandisk/Defrag on your
own.) If not, use it's menu to turn off it's start at boot. (You may
still use it occasionally by "START, Programs, Accessories, System
Tools, Scheduled Tasks", if you ever have a need to.). HOWEVER, it will
put itself back into the Startup Group, unless you remove...

| > command: c:\windows\SYSTEM\wucrtupd.exe -startup (Windows Critical
Update)

....the "MS Critical Update Notification Tool". It was accessing my HDD
every five minutes. It can be uninstalled in "Control Panel, Add/Remove
Programs". Then, occasionally, "START, Windows Update" on your own.

| > command: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MDM.EXE (Machine Debug Manager)

.......Quote of Glee.......
You find that you are accumulating a lot of temporary files in your
Windows directory that start with fff and have a .tmp extension, similar
to this:

fff137e3_{3BC6A120-EFC3-11D2-96F7-D0634EC10000}.tmp
fff137e3_{3BC6A121-EFC3-11D2-96F7-D0634EC10000}.tmp

These files are created by a bug in certain versions of MDM.EXE....two
every time it is loaded.

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=221438

OFF: How to Turn Off Machine Debug Manager, Mdm.exe
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321410

MDM is loaded with programs such as Office, and Microsoft Script
Debugger.
The fix is to prevent it from loading, by renaming the file, and
removing its reference in the startup group.

Rename MDM.EXE to MDM.EX_ or MDM.BAD, or something like that.
Look for any reference to MDM.EXE in the Startup folders:
C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
C:\Windows\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
and in the registry run key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
and delete it.

Then delete all those fff___.tmp files.
Note that if you reinstall any of the programs that added MDM.EXE, you
may get it loaded back, and will have to disable it again.

Has anyone noted the continuous running of MDM.exe (Machine Debug Manager)?
That .exe is not on my win98 SE, which is not to say that it is not a valid

Thanks Brian. I seem to remember debug creating virtual reams of output...
But that is when it is *actively* running. I would also suggest that Debbie
run SFC and check if any system files have been altered and to get a task
monitor to see just what is eating the resources/system and at what time of
activity.

[glee]

It may also be a resource hog....at least the older versions were. I don't
currently have an APC brand UPS, so I don't know if the newer versions have changed.
Last time I used PowerChute, as soon as it loaded, resources dropped from 96% to 75%
free.

APC is American Power Conversion, sellers of UPS's.
Power Chute is there system power monitor which kicks in if power is lost. Can also
shutdown after set amount of minutes of power loss and then restart when power is
regained, supposedly without loss of data.

You may be right. I never checked the resources after installing it.
I installed it.
Didn't really care much for it.
Uninstalled it.
The UPS beeped when power went off and allowed me 20 mins to shut down.
Never left the machine on if I wasn't going to be around.

Yes, that is why the software is not necessary, unless you leave the machine

I use PowerChute ver 1.4 and the resources only change 2%.
Since my APC UPS is underpowered for my PC, I actually need it as the UPS really
won't support both my Monitor and PC for more than a minute. I bought it mainly
for voltage fluctuations and to add some possible lightning protection.

As others have said, you do not need 2 antivirus programs running in
the background. Norton is much more of a resource hog than AVG so
that is the one I would shut off.

Totally dispensable unless you are actively debugging script files,
such as macros for Microsoft Office. Remove it from the startup list
and also rename mdm.exe to mdm.jnk so as to keep it from getting back
into use.

Now here is my standard spiel re startup items and resource usage:

One of the best ways to improve the value of free System Resources is
to reduce the number of background "tools and toys" (a.k.a. crap and
corruption) that gets loaded when the computer starts up. Use Start -
Run - MSCONFIG and go to the Startup tab. Compare the list of items
that are loading at startup with the following checklist web sites to
see what can be safely dispensed with:

http://www2.whidbey.com/djdenham/Uncheck.htm
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php
http://www.3feetunder.com/krick/startup/list.html - has trojan related
items listed

Note: Please ensure that you fully understand the purpose of a
startup item, how and why it was put into the startup, and the
consequences (if any) of removing it before you make any changes.
Some items are very important for the proper and safe functioning of
your computer, including at least one item that is listed twice.

Disabling an item by unchecking it in MSCONFIG should only be done for
testing purposes or as a "last resort" when no other way of getting
rid of the unwanted item can be found.

Good luck

Despite having numerous unnecessary things running your resources are
not bad. In fact, they are almost the same as mine are at the moment.

| You find that you are accumulating a lot of temporary files in your

|
| fff137e3_{3BC6A120-EFC3-11D2-96F7-D0634EC10000}.tmp
| fff137e3_{3BC6A121-EFC3-11D2-96F7-D0634EC10000}.tmp

|
| MDM is loaded with programs such as Office, and Microsoft Script

| The fix is to prevent it from loading, by renaming the file, and
| removing its reference in the startup group.
|
| Rename MDM.EXE to MDM.EX_ or MDM.BAD, or something like that.
| Look for any reference to MDM.EXE in the Startup folders:

| C:\Windows\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
| and in the registry run key:

| and delete it.
|
| Then delete all those fff___.tmp files.

This may be a stupid question ... does a NIC help my modem?

You have a NIC installed, why even bother with a Modem Booster?

It seems ridicualous to have a good Antivirus AVG, running with a crap one
Norton, uninstall Norton and update AVG to new version 7 from
www.grisoft.com

My HP deskjet G85 runs very well without the tray icon installed
Resource meter just uses resources
Software modem boosters are failry useless just install a good host file to
cut out the advertising and see how fast your connection runs,, and If you
are on a NIC and cable the driver is installed below, have absolutely no
effect since you are not using a dialup modem at all
Office startup is useless
Tea timer is good if your surfing habits leave you open to attacks, ie you
click on links without caring what they are, but otherwise can be removed
from within spybot settings menu
MDM can go
Windows Critical update is not much use, to check for OS updates every 10
minutes?? waste of time, click the link in the start menu once a day once a
week since MS doesnt update every 10 minutes

No a NIC ( Network Interface Card )does not help the Modem, it is =
either an alternative to it or a complete replacement. It is used to =
network computers or as a replacement to dialup when using cable.
No need to get rid of either, if for some reason the phone line goes =
dead you have the NIC to rely on if it is configured to use for the web =
or visa versa for the Modem if the NIC goes wayward.

Add/Remove

| | ......Quote of Glee.......
| | You find that you are accumulating a lot of temporary files in your
| | Windows directory that start with fff and have a .tmp extension,
similar
| | to this:
| |
| | fff137e3_{3BC6A120-EFC3-11D2-96F7-D0634EC10000}.tmp
| | fff137e3_{3BC6A121-EFC3-11D2-96F7-D0634EC10000}.tmp
| |
| | These files are created by a bug in certain versions of
MDM.EXE....two
| | every time it is loaded.
| | See here:
| | OFF2000: Files Whose Name Begins with 'fff' Appear in Windows
Folder"
| | http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=221438
| |
| | OFF: How to Turn Off Machine Debug Manager, Mdm.exe
| | http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321410
| |
| | MDM is loaded with programs such as Office, and Microsoft Script
| | Debugger.
| | The fix is to prevent it from loading, by renaming the file, and
| | removing its reference in the startup group.
| |
| | Rename MDM.EXE to MDM.EX_ or MDM.BAD, or something like that.
| | Look for any reference to MDM.EXE in the Startup folders:
| | C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
| | C:\Windows\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
| | and in the registry run key:
| | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
| | and delete it.
| |
| | Then delete all those fff___.tmp files.
| | Note that if you reinstall any of the programs that added MDM.EXE,
you
| | may get it loaded back, and will have to disable it again.
