Scarlet56,

It appears you are running two Firewalls (Zone Alarm & Symantec) These two programs don’t like each other and their combination on the same machine could create disaster with some applications.

If you are only running one firewall, then you still have portions of the other installed. This should be corrected as soon as possible.

You also have Quarterdeck’s Clean Sweep installed. Clean Sweep is now part of Norton’s System works which is far more stable than Quarterdeck’s old version. If you are using System works, I subject you uninstall it completely and run it from de CD when needed (about once a month)

Below is a short description of what the files on your startup group do. Check this against your computer configuration. You should get an idea what or not to uncheck.

As George suggested, it would be wise to uncheck one item at a time keeping close track so you can revert if something goes wrong.

Yes, in my opinion, Edirol’s Sound Canvass merits all this extra work. It’s a great program!
