How to track when processes arrived on my pc, with date and time

When I bought my laptop it was very quick at startup. As times goes
by, the startup and use becomes slower and slower.
If I had a list with the processes with date and time they occoured on
my laptop I could easier decide, when it becomes slower, which
processes causing it.

Is there a program that tracks added processes and can list them for
me with date and time the process first arrived on my pc?

Thanks in advance.

have you done maintenance like:

virus scan?

have you put in a lot of start up tasks or systray programs

clean out temp files and temp internet files,
chkdsk and defrag?

finally if still slow and low in diskspace in c:, del some old
$ntuninstall* folder -older than a few months, Caution:. backup and
proceed with caution on that deletion
be sure to reboot to test if it still work ok before
you do cleanmgr.exe, defrag

also try a new acct. if that is faster, you got profile corruption ( some
models of sony laptop has problem with that)

good luck

Aren't we all doing it: Buying a brand new, clean and fast "machine" - which
start slowing down from day 1?

I should not have responded to your post, as I don't have a reference to a
"program" as requested. I assume you have installed qiute a few programs and
drivers since purchase, and can tell by experience that some are consuming
more resources than others e.g. Norton Internet Security 2007 with its
phishing filter turned on.

Given you are absolutely certain that the notebook is free from
malware/spyware/virus and well maintained with regard to disk defrag and
cleaning, the slow down could be a function of your current workload versus
its specifications. The latter could even have changed e.g. by one of two RAM
sticks having failed.

Presumeably have you observed the Task Managers (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) Processes
for CPU consumption, and verfied that the RAM size in use is still in
accordance with the specifications. Go Start and type msinfo32.exe and click
OK for the size of RAM INSTALLED (in case you didn't know), and Start\
Control Panel\ System and note the RAM size in ACTUAL use in the lower
right-hand corner. In case the numbers are not equal, then it certainly could
explain the slow down of the notebook, not by the workload as such, rather
than a hardware fault.
