hi. i recently got my computer, and it's crammed with new stuff that i have encountered the first time. actually, i'm not used to seeing loads of icons in the task bar, so I was thinking of closing some programs off, but I'm kind of afraid I'll close a wrong program and something might go haywire. Anyway, these are some stuff I'm thinking of shutting down:
tbpanel.exe - Vtune : Display Control Panel
alcmtr.exe - Realtek AC97 Audio - Event Monitor
rthdcpl.exe - Realtek HD Audio Sound Effect Manager
clistart.exe - Catalyst® Control Center
ccc.exe - Catalyst Control Centre
mom.exe - Catalyst Control Centre

so.. is it ok to close these? and is it all right if i disable them in startup [using CCleaner?]

oh yes, just an added question, anyone here getting a bit of lag during startup because of wacom's tablet.exe? is there any way to decrease the lag i have because of that program?

thanks~

Regarding Catalyst software, - take a look at this article.
