31 this morning

Re: What dyou make of my Task manager in XP ?
 

Don't forget that 1 of the tasks reported will actually be task manager itself ;)
41 here but I could unload my bluetooth, skinning app, dockbar, rainlendar etc and go down to 30-32 if I wanted to :p:

56 on the office PC. With Word, Outlook and Internet Explorer loaded.

Is this a big deal, the system idle process is still using 98% of resource.

Re: What dyou make of my Task manager in XP ?
 

I know this may sound thick :dunce: but is there a program that I can download that will shut down automatically programmes that I don't need running in Task Manager, I have loads running and don't know what to do with them and weather I need them.

I'm sure this is slowing down my system.

The last time I shut down some random programmes my system shut down.

As you can guess I know very little about PC :dozey:

Dont shut down random processes :erm: have a look at the link in post #3 for an idea of what is safe to shut down.

This one?

Re: What dyou make of my Task manager in XP ?
 

Nope, post 3, this one ;) If you look at the bar above each seperate post there is a number, those are the post numbers that we sometimes mention :)

Re: What dyou make of my Task manager in XP ?
 

39 processes taking up about 200mb of RAM.

Re: What dyou make of my Task manager in XP ?
 

That's the one I used to shut down processes I didn't need, and saved 100MB of memory for it. With everything closed, some times the processes can drop below 10 since I have such less services running.

Also helps speed up main applications, just make sure you don't shut down ones that ARE required, or you may need to do a bit of formatting :D

I can't remember how many run on boot-up on mine, can't check for another hour either :(

I usually have 400-450MB of memory free with everything closed, which is GOOD for games, and I only have 512MB memory ;)
