I am presently installing software for a PIXMA MP180 multifunction printer.
I need to disable start-up features to prevent inter-reaction with AOL security ware and spy and malware previously installed.
When following the instructions below ;
It may be that you have another application blocking the launch of the
program. The first thing to try is rebooting your computer without your
normal startup applications running. To do this, follow the procedure
below:
1. Click Start.
2. Click Run.
3. Type MSCONFIG and click OK. The System Configuration Utility will
appear.
4. Make a note of which startup selection your computer is set on. If
your startup selection is set to Normal, switch it to Selective Startup
by placing the radio button dot next to Selective Startup.
5. Uncheck the box next to 'Load Startup Items'.
6. Click the Apply button.
7. Click on the Services tab at the top.
8. Place a check mark next to 'Hide all Microsoft Services'.
9. Click the Disable All button.
10. Click Apply.
11. Click the Close button.
12. Windows will prompt you to restart your computer; click Restart.
I encounter a problem a message box appears with the following message;
Systems Configuration
An Access Denied error was returned while attempting to change a service, You may need to log on using an Administrator account to make specified changes.
I have been instructed by onboard MS WXP H&S the following;
To start a program as an administrator
In Windows Explorer, click the program executable file that you want to open.
Press and hold SHIFT, right-click the program icon, and then click Run as.
Click The following user.
In User name and Password, type the Administrator account name and password that you want to use.
I have not been able to sucessfully execute this since,
I'm not sure precisely that I am in Windows Explorer,
what I did was, I went to Systems Configuration Utility, but could not find an icon to click ?
Will appreciate your advice.
