Yes, it's a good tool for getting the information about the Hardware that
is within the computer and, in some cases, detecting some software program
faults.  I bought my version near the end of March.

I just finished updating / upgrading the Windows Defender beta 2.  I had to
download and run the Windows Genuine Advantage validater application
_before_ I could download the upgrade.  I hope the update will attend to
the "... cannot find the file specified." problem!!!

Most of MY software problems have to do (I think) with the File
Associations.  For example, if I click on a .PDF file, it _should_ load
into the Adobe Acrobat Reader v7.0 (can't get any .PDF files to load into
the reader even after I go through the File Association), and there are
other association problems as well.

My reason for asking about TUT is because I've got way too much stuff
loading into the TaskBox on startup and I'm wanting to clean it up so that
only the "essential" items get loaded.  I've already eliminated the Atomic
Clock Sync (doesn't have to run all day, every day - once a week is
sufficient), PowerOff (since there is only the W2K box on the network
[now], I don't require a service to remotely startup/shutdown the WinXP
box), and about five other (unnecessary) "services" through my use of the
CodeStuff Starter <http://codestuff.mirrorz.com/> and its search engine.
I'm sure that there are likely other programs that don't require loading at
Startup and I thought that TUT might be an answer.  I guess that by using
the CodeSuff Starter program to disable certain programs from loading at
Startup is likely my best option currently...

           Cheers ... Gerald
