Well, dunno...

I had some photo folders open but diminished, I
had OutExpress open/dim, Real Player and Sonic
as I was dupeing disks for my kids, and the X5Board.

Don't know what's really running in the "background"...

When I get back to the Mtn, next week, I'm gonna
play around with search and delete, but carefull, so
I don't screw sumpin'up. :)

59 is a lot but keep in mind that his % of cpu usage can only be compared with a cpu of the same speed, so somebody with a 1.7 Ghz Cpu could have a higher cpu usage than some one with a 3.2 Ghz cpu.

I gotta toss some stuff that I never use.

Edit & PS: the collective knowledge on this
Board never ceases to amaze me! :thumbup:


59 isn't a lot... but 5-8% CPU utilization when you're just browsing the internet is.

What processor do you have in that box and how much RAM?

uhhh, not really.... i have between 50 and 60 running on a daily basis, it's pretty much the norm.

Messing around, and curious, I just dumped all offline files, cache, etc.
and, have only X5World up and running on screen.

I checked the TMgr thing again: it showed 58 processes and 2% CPU...
I looked in the Porcesses Tab in TaskMgr and sure enough, there is a
fookin laundry list of "processes".

So, when I get some time, I'm gonna bug one of you Mavens and toss
what I don't "need", or send some of those "processes" to someplace
I can get it later, if/when I need it.

We are rolling north tomorrow, so I'm azzholes&elbows today.
BR,mD

You've got me worried now. :eek: I routinely run Ad-Aware, I run Spywareblaster, and I run Norton AV regularly and I've got nothing coming up. I even run Hijack This to see what's starting up.

I'm going to go home and blow up my computer.

Oh, and the basic specs:

P4 3.0 HT
1 GB RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2, can't remember what specific version of that.

Get rid of Norton and get Trend PcCillin ;)

My Norton AV is the Corporate Edition and is much simpler than the shite that you get "free" with new PC's. I like it too because it doesn't expire every year and I can still live update it. :D

OT...

Now you're talking, PNG/K! :thumbup:

I feel like pulling out MrMossberg or, S&W or, my Glock,
about once a week and showing this Dell bastard who's
really boss. :rofl:
