im sorry for replying a good four years later but these problems are still relevant.. stupid windows crap Originally posted by Dazultra2000: Quote: I am currently hating ctfmon.exe and mdm.exe. They always load, and hinder performance/productivity, as well as causing problems on my system. I have tried everything (that I can think of) to get rid of it. 1) Delete them - when I do this, everythime I load IE, it asks me to reinstall office XP 2) Rename them - they come back! 3) Remove the part of oXP that is supposedly responsible for them -it comes back! 4) Disable on startup - IT STILL LOADS. I swear it's a microsoft designed virus. How on earth do u get rid of them?!?!?!?!?!? thanks ya these totally piss me off cause they slow down my internet... i looked up how to disable ctfmon.exe and ya i went to the windows site.. it does work, but sometimes it comes back once when you boot - just close it once and it will go.. as with the mdm.exe, this is really bad cause it doesn't wanna go away and i have to keep closing it like every 5mins.. ok below is the way to stop ctfmon.exe .. Uninstalling that crappy ctfmon.exe from xp Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows XP: 1. Quit all Office programs. 2. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. NOTE: In Windows XP, click Start and then click Control Panel. 3. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.NOTE: In Windows XP, click Add or Remove Programs. 4. In the Currently installed programs list, click to select Microsoft Office XP product, where Office XP product is the name of the specific Office product being used. If you are using a standalone version of one of the Office programs, click to select the appropriate product in the list. Click Change. 5. In the Maintenance Mode Options dialog box, select Add or Remove Features, and then click Next. This displays the Choose installation options for all Office applications and tools dialog box. 6. Click the plus sign (+) next to Office Shared Features to expand it. 7. Click the icon next to Alternative User Input, and then select Not Available. 8. Click Update. i hope this helps anyway... oh yeah with mdm.exe, i did disable the script bugging in IE but its STILL there .. stupid piece of mshit shit
