Larry,
Try opening a run dialog with Windows-R.
Type "MSConfig" without the quotes and hit Enter.
Go to the Startup tab and Tab once into the list of programs that run at
startup.
Arrow down through them and if you see that utility uncheck it.
Then Tab to the Apply button and press it. Then Shift-Tab back up to the
OK button and press it.
That will close MSConfig and should solve your problem, i.e. the utility
will no longer run at startup.
Hth,
Tom

Now , you might wonder what the hell this has to do with Window-Eyes,
well it goes like this.
I have this thing, and apparently other people have it too. It is called
AMD External Events Utility, and it is considered a service. The problem
is that it comes across my screen as a fast moving Web type page, and I
usually cath something like "Top Charts," or if not that, it says
"frame." It looks like it might be connected with some kind of online
retail service or something. I think it has been running on my system
mostly at startup almost since, if not ever since I got my new computer.
The reason It relates to WE is that in its immediate devastation, it has
a tendency to either shut down WE, or completely mess up my ability to
navigate the screen, whether I am in the desktop, task bar, or anywhere
else for that matter.
If I try to shut down WE and open it up again to give me a reprieve, it
some times will not even let me open the WE control panel.
Interestingly enough, if I patiently wait it out, I seem to be fine for
the duration of my computing session, but if I wanna just get down to
business, and it decides to run through my system, I chance that thing
just messing up everything.
I think my question has become obvious. What the hell can I do to keep
this thing from loading every time I start my computer?
I tried yesterday stopping it in the services tab of the task manager,
and it seemed like it was done for the rest of the day, even when I did
restart the machine, but today, its back.
Any ideas?
Thanks much,
Larry
