That's one of the things I go and get rid of right away. Remove it from the startup registry. Or you can just rename it and then run it when you need it. Your sound will work OK, but you won't have the control panel on the lower corner anymore.

How do I remove from the startup registry?<br />

Thanks, &nbsp;I had used the msconfig to uncheck but I thought you were only supposed to use msconfig for testing, is it OK to leave stuff unchecked permanently and tell it to not display that warning on startup?

Our HP machines come standard with Realtek audio. &nbsp;A process called RTHDCPL.exe is running and uses a lot of memory. &nbsp;On most computers we dont use the sound, other than beeps and have never used the RealTek control panel.<br />
<br />
Is it possible to have this so that if you want to make changes you can start the application without &nbsp;having it run in the background all the time? &nbsp;Or if not possible can it be removed without causing problems to the sound?

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
