I like control panel/administrative/services, and feel very comfortable in there. I easily found code meter, right clicked it, clicked on properties, tabbed down to a selection of automatic, manual or stopped
I chose manual, then apply and okay.I set Code meter to manual, which is what Roy is doing, but I learned that Reason runs perfectly well with Code Meter stopped. After changing its status from automatic to manual, I opened Task Manager, processes, selected Code meter.exe and code meter cc.exe, then ended both of them. They made a huge protest at being ended; triggering that big whomp sound when you've made a bad mistake, at first, and I got the not authorized To End This Process message; , but I persisted in a few seconds more they were no longer running. I opened Reason and played any device there, did all actions, nothing was crippled from lack of Code Meter running; and my old PC with inadequate ram had quite a few more megs to work with without the drag of Code Meter. I easily got my asio driver recognized from my Emu card, and ran okay at 7 ms with a buffer size of 220 samples. I increased it to 320 samples later, and 10 ms input latency, though, because the inadequate ram in that old computer made it sound a little fuzzy in some of the synths.. 10ms latency wasn't that noticeable in Kong drum module, but I wouldn't be able to layer more than a couple of presets from that huge Maelstrom synth without bogging down, but more ram is coming for that old box in a couple of days.
Oh, by the way, N V D A has a service process running when it's not even open, which requires about the same amound of CPU load as Code meter.exe.
I went back to Administrative services and set NVDA's service to manual.NVDA opens in exactly the same amount of time when you click on it, without the automatic process running.
Does jaws have a process that's running when it isn't being used that could beset to manual?
Do you know its name, by any chanceHey, I like jaws, I'm becoming converted, I think, since being on Wineyes since Vocaleyes!

To check services and such, in win xp or vista/7, go to run (Windows+R) and type services.msc then press enter. It's quicker than navigating all those pages. It's the same one found in administrator options. For JAWS, go to the jaws window, go to options, voices, indevidual voice adjustment. Leave the default file checked, and tab over and make your settings.

After rebooting I looked in Task Manager's processes and found both code meter cc.exe and code meter.exe. End process had no effect on them. I'll go to control panel/Administration/services and see what its status is there. I'm under the impression that administration/services is more powerful than either msconfig or task manager. DJX, 1 tiny question, I'm running jaws 9someone got for me years back, just now tried it, and can't bear the slow speech rate and pitch. I think I can learn jaws quickly if I can learn where to speed up and set pitch for speech.

Also, while reason is running it'll still mess things up; that's where my real problem is, that the protection stuff slows down the app it's made to protect and sometimes other running processes as well. Now, to make this clear, I did notice some weird behaviour that wasn't there before installing reason, which is when I went looking and found code meeter running on my services. I then looked in controll panel and start menu and everywhere else and found no reference to it, neither was there an option to remove it; keep in mind that this was after I had removed Reason and all references to Propellerhead stuff. This is where my problem is, this is what we consider "malware behaviour." This is what got Sony in trouble a few years ago with their CD protection scheme and the small software piece it installed on systems when a disc containing this system was played.People didn't know it was being installed, and neither could they remove it (that part being the worst).I'm not saying code meeter is necessarily bad for you, though it seems that most people who've tried have experienced some issues, but I'm saying that I personally don't like any apps that use these weird protection schemes or programs that interfear with my system in a"malware-like" way.Regards, D!J!X! -----Original Message----- From: realmusicians-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:realmusicians-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Indigo Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 12:00 PM To: realmusicians@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [realmusicians] Code Meter and Reason 6 Hey Chris and DJX, Roy says, I've removed the CodeMeter program from the startup group , and changed its services to start manually , not automatically , so it doesn't automatically load everytime the system boots.Unquote. I've got to learn to try more of these experiments, and not just sit back and let myself be victimized by software. What's the worse that could have happened, if that wasn't successful, Reason might crash after bootup, like I seem to remember happening to Hypersonic 2 if its SynchroSoft isn't present. Wow, this could make a real difference to me, not to have little odd behaveors while Code Meter is running. I'll remove Code Meter from the Win7 64 machine's startup first, maybe it'll return to its original quickness. I still want Reason 6 on a drive by itself, though, just in case. Indigo L
