Well, I contacted Freedom Scientific about my disappearing text problem, and the first line of attack is to go to Msconfig and uncheck any ATI programs that are running at startup. I've done that, but it hasn't totally fixed the problem. But while I'm at it, I want to identify any other unnecessary startup programs and uncheck them as well. Can someone recommend a website that discusses all the programs and whether it is safe to uncheck them in Msconfig? Maybe there is another program that is the culprit.
