What dyou make of my Task manager in XP ?
 

This is a new system, never been on the internet or anything.
Anyway, heres what seems to be running....It seems to be a a hell of a lot of stuff.
Not really used XP Pro before, always been a Win98 user.
Is this normal or are there some things I can take out. If so, how ?

Many thanks people.

You don't need qttask.

Try Black Vipers service configuration page

That's because the WinNT/2K/XP kernel uses services and the Win9x kernel does not. 22 processes isn't bad however, you should see Longhorn!

22 is pretty good, svchost tends to pad the numbers out a bit on it's own lol
I'm up to 40 ish processes after a clean install but a lot of that is anti-virus, firewall, skinning software, rainlendar, dockbar and bluetooth software. (oh and firefox running ;) )

43 running on my 3y.o. system
.................and why have I got 2 instances of svchost.exe running? :confused:
edit--forget that question: Taken from here......a very good site for explaining services......well worth a look! :tu:

only 2? That's normal many of windows services all come under that name, but some viruses pose as it too.

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

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

I have only 19 processes running, and CPDN uses 3 up ;)

I also have IE open, TKC, and messenger.

That usually drops to about 13 when everything is closed :p:
