seaport.exe

Good Info! This thing was eating between 20 and 30 MB of RAM - I just don't need this junk - I disabled the service and then renamed the exe.

delete seaport

Thanks, djteel, but I am pretty much a novice. Could you tell me what you clicked and what you typed?

Deleting Seaport

Good of Williamm to note that Service Manager is Vista specific. I run XP and tried to rename and delete Seaport.exe, but the dialogue box still pops up when the computer boots. What next?

SeaPort Folder

After disabling seaport through services.msc, I went to the folder where seaport.exe was located and renamed it seaport.old. I then deleted seaport.old and worked backword deleting all folders including the microsoft folder under program files. Until I deleted the microsoft folder it would pop up as an empty folder every time I booted. Once deleted everything was ok.

SeaPort

You might mention that "Service Manager" is Vista specific. Many or most people use Windows XP. So there is no button to click the damn thing off. Or is there some other way to click it off in XP?

Startup

I have deleted all the files I can find relating to seaport.exe, but now when I boot up I come to the empty folder for seaport and everything stops. All I have to do is close the folder and my normal desktop is there and all works fine past that point. I would just like to get rid of the stop at the empty folder. Any comments on how to do that would be appreciated.

Disabling seaport causes error event

Disabling the seaport service works, but it causes an error in the system event log. It appears that the DCOM service tries to start the seaport service and cannot do so because it is disabled. I guess that's fine, except for the big red X in the event viewer. Is there a cleaner solution?

Sea Port

B,

Thanks for Sea Port info; I had manually disabled it and sure enough it fired up; so taking your hint I renamed the .exe file --- good job on the article

Regards,
Ted
