Thread: Bonjour Service

This message: The Bonjour Service service hung up on starting. Appears on my Error Log, and I am not sure what that means. Can someone please help me? Thanks. That may be, why the Boot Screen, shows up at times, on starting my pc.

Thank you for your reply back. And no I did not install Itunes. So since I did not install it, I should not have to uninstall it, right? But how did it get on my computer?

No idea ... As I said it normally trys to install itself with Itunes. Seeing you don`t use that it must have installed some other way.

Bonjour is a "discovery service" and is installed when using programs like iTunes, Adobe CS3, Skype, and Internet Explorer. I have also seen it on computers with AOL software. You may want to make sure you don't need it before you uninstall it - it may be needed for another program on your computer. See here:
