    Anyone know what the following programs are? They are Asus-related and run everytime my pc starts up.

    DMedia.exe and ATKOSD2

    I've been troubleshooting an issue with WoW stuttering and fixed it by disabling most all startup items. Now I'm turning them back on one by one. Unless these are really necessary I prefer to leave them disabled.

    Laptop is a G50V-A2.

    Thanks,
    Mario64

    ATKOSD2 is the onscreen popup icons for the hotkeys. Dmedia is one of Asus' media software programs. Neither is necessary, but neither should be causing issues with WoW. Leave them off if you feel like it.
