How many processes?

[-Bryan-]

When you guys do the crt+alt+del, how many processes do you have running? I have 52 right now and I wanna know if thats high or normal.

[Grav]

19

I don't let my system get invaded by crap.

[Sovereign]

HOly shit....too many. Upwards of 40 i think. Im too lazy to count.

[Eddie_Perez]

Yeah, XP is the one that has the most shit open. So the avarage is like 15 for people that take care of their comp. Go to Run/msconfig/Startup(tab) and chk what shit starts up when windows starts up. I bet it takes like 1-2 minutes for windows to fully load?

[Sovereign]

yup, pretty much.

[Eddie_Perez]

God, I have a feeling you have shit like weather bug and gator installed don't you?

[Sovereign]

I have no idea. But its still pretty fast though.

[Eddie_Perez]

I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to -Bryan-.

[Sovereign]

Oh ok.

[Eddie_Perez]

Bryan, work with us buddy. We want to help you!

[Acer]

I got to many, need to format and zero my harddrive.

[Eddie_Perez]

I cant fully format because I this computer came with windows ME preinstalled (no cd, damn HP!), so I bought the upgrade version of xp. So... if I format I cant install xp without reinserting ME (which comes with the HP format cd) and is full of hp and shit hidden everywhere.

[uncapped]

I got 36 running.

[Eddie_Perez]

18 right now....

[Mr.Lee]

Around 40.

[Grav]

Above 25 is just fucked up and you need to fix that.

[Kuja]

32

[Mr.Lee]

Above 25 is just fucked up and you need to fix that.

Speak for your self.

[undeadzombieguy]

i got only 14 runnning right now

[D3V]

I've got 25 processes and it takes no time to boot, and anything above is just fine, it depends what you have running, some programs take more than one process to run, and there are usually 10 windows processes that need to be ran for windows to run. I've got 15 processes, virus scanner, firewall, aol, aim, lots of other programs.

[Eddie_Perez]

Also, the processor speed and amount of ram you have affect your boot load. ALSO! How big your HD is...

[-Bryan-]

God, I have a feeling you have shit like weather bug and gator installed don't you?

I have none of that, I deleted stuff like that a long time ago.

[Hades-Knight]

i have 33 open, 10 of those are prolly trojans which i cant close rofl

[Xenn]

I have 22, about 7 of those are because my motherboard has onboard sound/lan and it needs a bunch of SVCHost.exe's.

Besides, I have a gig of RAM, who cares :)

[-Bryan-]

Does anyone one know how to disable the system idle process or something, because its taking up 99% of my comp.

[Mr.Lee]

You cant close it. Its a critial system component.
