Guest Michael Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I have an unknown running process on my computer called "Andrea RT Filters Service". It runs as a Windows servce on start up. I googled it and come up with "Andrea Electronics Corporation". When I contacted them to see if I could get some information about the application. they replied that the do not own or distrubute any application by this name. I have stopped the service and disabled it and there seems to be no side effects. Can someone please tell me what this process is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember offhand exactly what it was, but since he never used the speech recognition program we turned it off. If you have an OEM machine and this scenario might be applicable to you, manage your Startup matrix and turn off the program that requires the service. Then Start Orb>Search Box>type: services.msc (run the result that will appear) and change the service from "Automatic" to "Manual" if not already that way. Start Orb>Start Search box>msconfig [enter] If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Usually in Vista this will be blocked by Windows Defender and you'll need to allow it so you can then tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again". Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes. Instead, use Start>Run>services.msc [enter] and do not stop any services unless you really, really know what you're doing. The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx - Autoruns Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic!

Guest RalfG Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 According to http://www.runscanner.net/files/exe/aeadis...adisrv.exe.aspx and http://www.castlecops.com/o23list-3158.html this company http://www.andreaelectronics.com/ does provide multimedia hardware and drivers that run under windows. The service you mentioned isn't specifically mentioned at the sites above but it could well be required as part of your audio system drivers.

I disabled it and as far as I can tell all the audio functions still work. -- Ray (remove the Xs to reply) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My system is also a Dell; I had downloaded the update from Dell. -- Ray (remove the Xs to reply) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
