    I have made a back up with Alienrespawn, so I don't want to uninstall it but I also don't want it starting up with the M11x. I can't find it in msconfig or CCleaner. Any ideas of how to disable it starting up?

    what is your model? if I'm not mistaken, you can disable respawn/datasafe by killing the toaster.exe.
    Btw, you can uninstall respawn/datasafe basic safely if you have made recovery media, since it does not require the corresponding software to be installed in your system.

    Yes it is toaster.exe but I can't find it in msconfig. Ah thought I needed to keep it installed to recover from the disk I made. That's good, I'll just uninstall it. It annoys me that it stops me switching from intel to nvidia graphics.
