That's a Compaq you have there, I presume. Backweb is installed as part of the error reporting and diagnostics software which Compaq preloads onto your system, and deselecting that .PIF entry is causing other related components to 'hang'.

Look through the 'Startup' list in msconfig, check the entries against the information about them you'll find at:

http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...s/tasklist.htm

and deselect any entries which relate to preinstalled Compaq diagnostic and/or reporting tools. You don't need any of them, and they will have been of no use to you anyway since the Warranty first expired


P.S. If thre are any entries which don't correspond with an entry in the task list database I linked, google for information about them
