Also try Start, run msconfig This tells you quite a bit about what's running and you can change settings too. BUT make sure you know what a program or service is/does before you disable it Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/10823-windows-xp-sp2/#findComment-101576 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

June 8, 200619 yr comment_102103 There is a free program that gives you much more data than the Task Manager .... Process Explorer. Get it here ... http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html If you see any process that is slowing down your system then post the name and address of the process to this thread and someone will gove you more advice on what it is, whether it's a valid process etc. OJ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/10823-windows-xp-sp2/#findComment-102103 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...
