Mail sent at each startup and constant disk access?
How can I stop the mail and constant hard drive activity?
Everytime the Presario 5170, running Windows 98 is booted up, the computer tries to send an email. I can see this activity on my router's log file. No mail programs are running. Nothing is queued to be sent. This began yesterday, (I think, after fiddling with the internet keyboard buttons). Prior to yesterday, I had the startup configuration in msconfig, set to not load the Compaq startup software that controls the keyboard buttons. Also, I see the hard drive light showing regular activity every several seconds, no matter how long the computer is idle. The disk activity is not the fast find program. I have that set to stop. -Dennis -- Dennis Kessler http://denniskessler.com/acupuncture |
