Question

How can I disable all unnecessary startup items?

 

Answer

  1. Open MSCONFIG
  2. Under the Services tab, check "Hide all Microsoft services"
  3. Uncheck all services but those necessary for AccessData's software (typically leaving only CodeMeter, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MSSQL, or anything starting with "AccessData")
  4. Under the Startup tab, uncheck all items but those necessary for AccessData's software (typically leaving only CodeMeter)
  5. Reboot

 

Overview

If AccessData's software works after performing the steps above, you can methodically re-enable items in the Services and Startup tabs to help determine what program or service may be conflicting with AccessData's products.
