Swimmer Posted June 19, 2006 CID Share Posted June 19, 2006 if you have adobe professional you need it because it controls the print queue.. MS office starts to check for updates i believe and launch in IE for web browsing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted June 19, 2006 CID Share Posted June 19, 2006 if you have adobe professional you need it because it controls the print queue.. MS office starts to check for updates i believe and launch in IE for web browsing.. MS office does start up to check for updates, but you really dont need it starting up becuae when you start like word or excel it will check for updates then. you can turn it off by deleting the file in your startup tab in your start menu. As for the adobe thing starting up you do only really need it if your printing large pictures or large .PDF files otherwise you can turn that off in msconfig.

Swimmer Posted June 19, 2006 CID Share Posted June 19, 2006 yeah.. if you dont have professional, the ability to create .pdf files, then I dont think you really need it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted June 19, 2006 CID Share Posted June 19, 2006 if i understand you correctly you do not need the two apps starting up, but might want them. they are preloads of the actual app that put some of the files into memory already at startup to launch the actual apps faster than without. on the comp i am using office on i installed the 2007 beta and word and excel launch blindingly fast without any preload and outlook takes a bit because of the databases it opens.

Swimmer Posted June 19, 2006 CID Share Posted June 19, 2006 yeah I think that is how it works for the current versions.. I have yet to play with the beta of 07... I am sure there is a pre load some where.. like explorer or something else.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted June 20, 2006 CID Share Posted June 20, 2006 yeah I think that is how it works for the current versions.. I have yet to play with the beta of 07... I am sure there is a pre load some where.. like explorer or something else.. it sure seems like it, same with WMP11... it loads just about instantly, especially if I had it running and closed it...
