paul leeds · Jul 14, 2004

hi, i have 35 processes running and want to get it down but don't know which ones i can and can't get rid of. is a startup manager the best thing for this? if so, what is a good free one?

manual is proberbly the best way but DO read up on what each service does as you may well need it.

with the link to Black Vipers site in there as well possibly the best service list on the net, sadly each PC and its use is different to give a 100% answer to whats needed or not.

plus this one http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm

WARNING.. disabling needed services can seriously harm your PC health

Paul, check out Halo's suggestions and links.

You may also look at http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36800
for an earlier post on the number of programs you run, as standard.

Mine is in the early 20's but my list of running programs is modest.

35, 45, or 22 may be exactly what you require. Bazza

Seems to be a continuing problem. As I have stated in other posts, go to Pacs-portal to get an understanding of processes (startup vs no). Further, I prefer a startup manager (I use CodeStuff Starter) to control startup processes. You will be amazed at how many applications configure themselves as startup processes with no benefit whatsoever.

Check it out - you will benefit from Pac-man's advice.

P.S. Been there myself.
