Question:
Hello all the hijack this gurus.
Would you be able to have a look at my logfile. My ageing pc has gone very slow on startup and on loading programs. I have replaced Zonealarm with Comodo on Browntoas advice on another thread which has improved startup a bit but I still get large waits for other programs.
I have defragged the disk recently. However it is running low on space 10.6 gig left of an 80gig drive. I am in the process of transferring all my music and photo files onto an external drive and backups with DVD.
Many thanks if you can help.

this one below Uses about 2.2 MB of memory. Disable it by heading to the MediaSource DVD Audio Player, selecting Tools, then uncheck the Auto Start box. It should not start up automatically again
