What are loadqm and microsoft debug manager used for?

Do they need to be loaded?

Chris
 
Do you have Norton Anti-Virus installed?
Are you sure it's not loadwc?

The Microsoft Debug Manager is started when a web page encounters a script error. You can turn off the Degugger by going to Tools>Internet Options, click the Advanced tab and check "Disable Script Debugging". Then in msconfig, uncheck the Machine Debug Manager=mdm.exe entry. It's also installed with Microsoft Office.

It is not neccessary. To permanently delete it, backup the registry and/or export the following keys:
go to Start>Run, type regedit. Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices-

and delete the entry in the right pane.

Thanks for that post.

Do you know what Loadqm is and stillimagemonitor (STIMON)?

Chris
 
No, I don't know what loadqm is.

Still Image Monitor relates to a digital camera or scanner. If you have any scanner other than a Hewlett-Packard or one with an SCSI connection, you can disable it.

I have an epson 640u on usb so I will disable it.

Thanks

) What the Heck Are "QMgr" and "LoadQM?"
I recently installed IE6 & MS messenger and i had a program called Microsoft qmgr trying to access the internet (zone alarm told me that!) i read some where when i tried to search what the heck is that , that it is a Microsoft program that lets other Microsoft network users know you are online, i know your against installing messenger programs that announces your presence on the net , but some time you need them. could you be kind enough to elaborate more on the subject , and thanks for a great work.--- Dr.Mohammed A.

There are a couple things going on that have very similar names. The file Loadqm.exe is a "quality monitor" that's part of MSN. It collects and transmits anonymous statistics back to Microsoft. You can read more about it--- and turn it off, to prevent anything from being sent back--- by opening MSN Explorer, clicking on "Help and Settings" at the top of the pager, then click on "Privacy" in the left nav bar, then click on "Service Quality Monitoring."

QMgr apparently is a "queue manager" identified as a "Background File Downloader" that "Downloads data for programs when the computer is idle."

There is no separate on/off switch for QMgr that I know of, but it can be blocked by ZoneAlarm (and by other firewalls that allow per-application settings). I've noticed no problems from blocking QMgr; if I ever do encounter a download problem, I can adjust ZoneAlarm on the fly to allow QMgr to connect temporarily, and then can re-disable it.

By manually disabling the Quality Manager and using ZoneAlarm to block the QMgr, you can regain control over some of the less obvious background activities that may be going on in your PC.
