I also found out that it is a 'known' problem. I have 2 possible solutions: 1. full restore (dont want that: i have lots of documents without a backup) 2. remove easy access keys from msconfig I will go for the second option.

To the WEB site of Japanese COMPAQ, only information as if it was concealing this problem was carried. I will also avoid a problem by MSCONFIG for the time being.

I just discovered the exact same problem on my system, just disabled starteak.exe in msconfig and it works fine now. That is supposedly for the built in "easy access" buttons, but they still work for some reason.

The only thing i have done to rectify it was to open Norton Internet Security icon in the system tray , re-enable auto protect and then shut down or restart the computer this seems to fix the problem without any hassle.What seems to cause it is when the desktop is loading , I have been a little impatient and tried to start Internet Explorer before everything is loaded properly consequently the starteak.exe function seems to get hung up.

Solution 1. Start computer in ”Safe Mode” do a system restore to a previous date when the computer worked fine. Uninstall “Easy Access button support” in “add remove” programs. Get SP21795 from Compaq site, and install this ”update”. This does not work for alot of ppl but it seems to help for some. So what is the problem with starteak? It seems to be a conflict accruing in winXP home edition with Symantec Norton antivirus installed. So the solution should be to do a clean XP install and skip to use the program ”starteak.exe”. In most cases the ”Compaq operating system cd” is a “Clean” Windows XP home cd and is bootable. Insert the cd and install windows XP Home. After this you have a cd called Compaq restore plus “start with this cd for restore” on this cd most of the components that windows does not detect have there drivers on this cd. Just go to device mgr and update driver for each of the devices that is under other devices with this cd present in the cdrom driver. Some computers comes with other applications such as IndeoDVD etc these are also on the cd but can be a bit trickery to find. A tip is to search on the cd for “DVD” and check if the installation isn’t in the directory called dvd on the cdrom. If you cant find all devices there are a posiblity to find the drivers on Compaq homepage. Sorry for my English. I’m not native English speaking. //Extasy On Tuesday, December 17, 2002 at 6:03 pm, Tom wrote: >Have had the same problems on my Presario 6019...contacted Compaq "tech support"...spent >2 hours on the phone and accomplished nothing..there answer...do another (3rd) system >restore and try that without any pinters or anything connected.

If any of these components is removed the problem sees to occur pretty much like to have fire you need oxygen, something burnable and heat. Or maybe for the exception of just removing starteak.exe in an infected system. It seems like it is enough that nav has just touched starteak.exe in an installation to really seriously damage your system. But think about it, this is the ultimate virus. It disables your protection and the only working solution is to format your hd. The conclusion, I don’t really think the problem relies entirely on Compaq. I think NAV is the key to the problem and it’s Symantec that really need do something that is released public if they have something. But then the problem is _only_ when you run starteak together with it. On Friday, January 3, 2003 at 5:22 pm, Tom wrote: >I tried that the first time also, as per the "experts"at compaq's suggestion.

Does STARTEAK only impact the easy access keys or is there more? Is the problem just Norton Anti-Virus or other anti virus programmes - if not, what are the good alternatives?

As far as i can see the only thing the background blablabla service does is to allow the operatingsystem to use unused bandwidth for updating ur system automatically when you're connected to the internet.

I have a Preasario 8000 with McAfee & ZoneAlarm. Every so often, it starts up slow & starteak.exe eats up 99% of resources for ablout 5 minutes. Afterwards, I usually lose the functionality of my ethernet port too. I have found that doing a system restore to last restore point always fixes it. I can't believe compaq has no patch for this.

After uninstalling the Easy Access Button Support software (what starteak.exe is a part of) and installing the latest fix from Compaq/HP I still had the problem described in this form, cpu hung @ 100 %. I figured out that it was because I disabled the Terminal Services service. After setting the service back to manual and rebooting all is good. The service does start though. Just another angle that I hope helps someone. On Thursday, July 4, 2002 at 4:08 am, gerry wrote: >Help! >When i start XP everything seems ok, but when i start an application things seems >to 'hang'.

Today, we got confirmation of the fix and it tested fine. Due our urgency of deployment of the new HP XW4100 using the keyboard drivers that were mentioned, we got the them to send us the new drivers. They will be posted on the HP web site during the second week of January. Yes, this fixes the problem of the starteak.exe taking up more than 50% of the processor and it also enables you to shut down without the driver still hanging.
