how the hell do you stop pc health check from starting up so often on me. max. The PCHealth Data Collection service is what you're seeing - and it's a fairly useless piece of the OS. To disable it, you need to do so in two places at once... 1) Scheduled Tasks - disable/delete the entry there 2) MSCONFIG - in the Startup list, uncheck the PCHSchd.exe entry - click OK, and reboot That should kill it!

As Noel has already mentioned what you are referring to is the PCHealth Scheduler for Data Collection rather than the more general term PCHealth which includes not only system restore and system file protection but also Help & Support, Automatic Updating and PSS.

Okay, forgive me for being slow, but will stopping PCHealth from loading on start-up, impede my Restore function from starting? -- Nomad No - they are two entirely different applications.

And what is it about Fortune 500 <MARKETING> that you don't quite yet understand? As I said to Nomad, we are very lucky to have you and Noel around. We are very lucky that you didn't burn your machine and buy a Mac when you first began having SR problems back in the ME beta days. If Nomad will read these three articles, and peruse a few of your too-many-to-count threads about them, and asks you a few questions, he will know more than 99% of the posters in these ngs, in a very short time. But you already know that, too. Heck, if we could clone you, most of our WinME computer problems could be answered RSN. Say Hi, for me, to your young ladies, for the new year. Watched "Tinker, Tailor,..." the other day on DVD just to remember that competent, honorable men still exist. Even if they disagree about fundamentals. Very difficult to do so on this side of the pond just now, where the opposite has reached a new highwater mark for normalcy, in modern history.

I haven't seen or read Tinker, Tailor, ... for some time myself but I am a great fan of John LeCarré (or should that be David Cornwell). That just leaves me to wish you and yours a Happy & Prosperous 2005.
