Startup, Ever seen this??

[Jimmy Sway]

under msconfig - start up, i have a listing.

dumprep 0 -k

Ever seen it, what is it??

Whatever it is, it's from a program you installed, I did a Ms search and find no mention of any such program, you might wanna do a search for that exe, and find out what it is attached to

Im pretty sure its your "dump" file when the system crashes ...Im pretty sure it logs your system crashes. Not sure though..have you crashed lately?

" Im pretty sure its your "dump" file when the system crashes "

[Led2112]

xp uses a dump file to report the crashes.

downloaded the program but still it keeps showing up at startup......damn

by the way in startup it shows this also:

ctfmon C:\Windowns\System32\ctfmon.exe

anyones knows what that is????

 

[Led2112]

Sorry i dont know why it is keeping itself in startup but I am sure its fine to leave it there. Ctfmon.exe is from OfficeXp. Ctfmon.exe monitors the active windows and provides text input service support for speech recognition, handwriting recognition, keyboard, translation, and other alternative user input technologies.

thanks led2112

so ctfmon is safe to disable

Removing the Ctfmon.exe might cause problematic behavior in your Office XP programs, so removing it is not recommended. To prevent Ctfmon.exe from running, follow these steps.

Read this from the Microsoft site...you might just want to leave it!
It looks like it's a pain in the a** to remove it.
