    On a P7805U the camera assistant software keeps starting on startup. I want to keep it turned off, but can't find the setting.

    Not in the startup folder
    Did not see it listed in services

    Not sure where it is.

    Thanks

    You checked the startup tab in msconfig?

    Did you go in the options/preferences for the camera software and set it so it WONT open on startup?

    I took some video with my camera assistant this morning and when I played it, it didn't have any audio. Is there anyway I can retrieve the audio from this video clip?
    Thanks!
