CTskifreak Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Allright, I'm running Windows 2000 Pro on this computer. When ever I look do Ctrl+Alt+Delete, I always look at the Processes Tab under the Task Manager. To me, it seems like there are too many processes going, and I want to see which ones I can get rid of. Whenever I check Windows Defender, I look at the Start Up Programs, and then the Currently Running Programs sections, and everything seems fine, but I go back to the Task Manager and it seems like there is more running than should be. For instance, I have 4 of the svchost.exe at the same time: that just doesn't seem right. Any help would be apprecieated. AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Multiple instances of svchost is correct. Even if you have 30+ processes listed, it's not really a big deal.

zaphirer Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Hehe... I have 15 processes if I exit Firefox, etc. and just plain look at my desktop when it's COMPLETELY idle. Optimization is a good thing I've managed to play all of today's modern games with a 4-year old machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it probably helps that your four-year old machine is way better than my two-year old machine... grumble grumble... But any day now I'll break down and build myself something half-way decent. I have the money, but I hate to spend it... sigh... We'll see how long I can put it off before I get sick and tired of my paperweigh-of-a-notebook and throw it out my window! I guess then I'll have to build a new one, cause I'm not about to give up my Internet! Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive. If it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!!

lokoike Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Keep it as a backup! Well it won't make a very good backup after I've thrown it out the window. But actually, I already promised my girlfriend she gets it once I build my new comp (should be fairly soon). Even though it's slow for me, it's still way faster than her crap-of-a-Dell.
