Loading specific drivers
OS = Win 98 SE
I have a few things on my computer I don't wish to load at start up as I dont use them that often (ie WinFax , Real Player) but I dont want to delete them either.
I used the msconfig to remove them form start up.
I have a Cannon USB digital camera and I would like to incude this in my start up without the others mentioned however,when I start the computer in the customised format the camera isn't recognised and if I power up the camera , the system hangs..
If I restart using the msconfig and check "load all drivers" everything works fine except I now have all that junk to contend with (ie WinFax , Real Player).
Any suggestions as to where I might find / insert a line to load the Cannon drivers without having to load all drivers?

If you're good in the registry here is where they are being loaded from
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwa
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Softw
and of course look in start --programs--startup
you can remove those also
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwa
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Softw
and of course look in start --programs--startup
you can remove those also
to see exactly where these programs are called from go to start --run and type
msinfo32
then go to software environment--startup programs, and this will give you the path

"shutting down a process that is needed for the the camera to run, especially if you boot normally and it works"
DOH!!!! Why didn't I think of that.
Oh yea - I'm not an expert..lol
I'm going to try the "process of elimination" to see what process I am shutting down that is required.
Txs for the inpute people.
