    Hello all,
    I just purchased an M115-S3094.

    I believe there are some controlling-rights wars happening within this notebook. Between Windows Zero Configuration, Intel Proset Wireless, and Toshiba's ConfigFree.

    Which set of Wireless Controllers should I enable/disable?

    The Toshiba ConfigFree Utility is nice looking compared to the other two, but which one is best / most reliable? And if I continue to use one over the other two, can I safely disable the other applications from Services and from starting up?

    Thanks in advance!

    ProSet Wireless can go - Windows will take over monitoring Wi-Fi. That's actually better, since Windows has one-click repair of the connection.

    Can't speak for the Toshiba app, since I don't know anything about it.

    should i uninstall the Intel ProSET program as well as Toshiba's Configfree program?

    there are also some other processes running that i'm not sure i need or want, instead of starting a new thread, hopefully someone can answer this here:

    syntpenh.exe - is this needed for the touchpad to work? is it needed to use the scroll feature on the touchpad?

    hkcmd.exe ?

    igfxpers.exe - intel graphics program needed to function?

    iFrmewrk.exe - Intel ProSET software??

    ZCfgSvc.exe - this is the Toshiba ConfigFree, correct??

    ndstray.exe ?
    padexe.exe ?
    TFncKy.exe ?

    I've read in some other threads that the most useful toshiba apps are the Power Saver and Virtual Sound devices, so I have not listed those here.

    Thanks in advance...

    ZCfgSvc.exe = Intel wireless program
    TFncKy.exe = Hot key facility on toshiba laptops.
