Question
I would like to try and see if it might be another program on your system that interfere with Helium Music Manager. How can I do that?

Answer
Please follow the instructions below to start your computer with as few processes running as possible.

Firstly we would suggest starting your computer with as little programs running as possible. Please follow the instructions below to do this.

Click Start and Run. Type MSCONFIG and click OK (on Windows Vista, just type MSCONFIG in the Search box under the Start menu and press ENTER).

On the Services page, click the "Hide all Microsoft Services" checkbox to only show third party services running. Make a note of all services with the select box enabled and then disable all (at least the ones that is not really vital to be able to start your computer).

On the Startup page, make a note of all selected programs and then deselect them all.

Now click the OK button and restart your system.

We would suggest pulling your network cable out of you have disabled any anti-virus program or such. We do recommend you to disable as many programs as possible the first time you start your computer since this will make it easier to find a possible cause.

The process of disabling unneeded startup applications is most often something of a health cure for your computer. Many programs you install will add auto-starting applications which is very often entirely unnecessary to have running and which are taking precious performance from your computer. By following the advice above your computer may start and respond more quickly than before.
