I have 24 "processes" running under Task Manager (aka -
"that ctrl-alt-del box") and my PC seems to run very
slowly. (I have an HP Pavilion 522n, which is a PC
seemingly designed AROUND the Windows XP OS). I'm
wondering what the minimum number of processes running at
any time should be, what they are, and what they do.
Although I've been using Windows since 3.1, it has
occurred to me that I've never found this out. I notice
slowdown the most when I'm coming offline after some
internet gaming, but it's just not as quick as it should
be. (I have 256MB RAM and a Celeron 1.8GHz processor. e.g.
it just took the PC 8 seconds to tell me that!)
Something's wrong, and I don't know what. Help please!
