| 183002 | 2003-10-14 03:41:00 | When I turn on XP I am told too many programs are running....but I can't see any.....??? | olldaddy76 (2539) | ||
| 183003 | 2003-10-14 04:03:00 | What tells you that you are running too many programs? Are you getting a message about low resources? To see what is running in the background, right click on a free area on the taskbar and select "Task manager", then click on the processes tab. All of those programs are running in the background. Depending on what your error messages says exactly, you may want to reduce the number of unnecessary programs loading automatically on startup. Can you post back with more specific details. Cheers Jen |

| 183004 | 2003-10-14 05:26:00 | Thanks JEN..your reference to TASK MANAGER has enlightened me...I have often wondered what it meant... | olldaddy76 (2539) | ||
| 183005 | 2003-10-14 09:51:00 | Try Ctrl + Shift + Esc Then.. Click on the Process tab to see all the open apps (Some system and are critical, others are not) |

| 183007 | 2003-10-14 12:39:00 | > Try Ctrl + Shift + Esc *Memorises for later use.* I was still doing ctrl+alt+del to get the taskmanager, and it would always bring up a menu which added an extra 2 clicks to get there. Thanks for the tip ;) |

| 183010 | 2003-10-14 23:57:00 | 17 on one computer, about 38 on another. Both XP. | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 183011 | 2003-10-15 00:31:00 | > how many is normal? > Depends on your OS, amongst other things. What programs do you have running? Try: Start -Run type in: msconfig click on the Autorun tab (Maybe called startup) There's a list of all programs set to run upon boot of your PC. Some run and quit after a second or two, others keep running the whole time using your PC's system resources. Post back some of the things you have in that list :-) Cheers Chill. |
