Magnifyer, Windows Live, and Apple Syncer keep popping up at the desktop when turning on the computer. How to I keep this from happening?

Hi coolguyace!

I am figuring that you don't want these to appear.

To get rid of them starting up when the computer does, you can go to Start and click in the "Start Search" box and type in msconfig and hit ENTER.

In the window that appears click on the Startup tab, and then uncheck the boxes next to those three programs. Click Ok and then reboot the computer when prompted.

Once rebooted, those programs should not start up automatically.

The windows live doesnt pop up, but the Apple Sync comes up as an error saying it cant open it, which i dont want it at all actually, primarily i just want to stop the magnifiyer from popping up. it didnt exist in that window you told me to go to.

Is it listed on Programs and Features in the Control Panel? If so, uninstall it.

thanks for the help i'll try to figure it out. I found where the magnifyer is. i dont know if i should disable the whole thing called system32 because theres other stuff in there like webcam that i use.

If all you want to do is turn off the Magnifier, do the following:

• Click on the START-->ALL PROGRAMS-->ACCESSORIES-->EASE OF ACESS and click on EASE OF ACCESS CENTER.
• Then click on Make the computer easier to use, which is the second options beneath the heading "Explore all settings"
• Uncheck the box next to Turn on Maginfier and click Save.
• The Magnifier is now turned off.
