Processes list

[Caspar]

Hi, I have a rather new computer (check sig for details), but I think it?s a bit slow sometimes, and I believe it can run some games smoother.

I?m wondering if this has anything to do with mrunning processesb>. I?ve attached a screen of my task Manager, I?d be very glad if you guys could have a look at it:); :)

Thanks in advance[EDITED]:I?m running Windows XP Professional with SP2.

You can disable "msmsgs.exe" by going to Start->run...-> "services.msc" (without quotes) and disable the Messenger service (i think).

iTunes.exe looks to be taking up a fiar bit, maybe stop it from loadingg at startup?

and whats type32.exe ?

also you can disable msmsgs.exe from startup if you have msngr.exe running (there both the same program)

type32.exe is a Microsoft program for my MultiMedia Keyboard.

jeez, you only actually need, on the average about 11 or 12 of those tasks running, go to www.blackviper.com and check out his Windows XP Professional guide and disable all that sh!t :laugh:

This is what I would do;

Get rid of the following via msconfig:

msnmsgr.exe - Run it manually

type32.exe - Unless you use the extra buttons on your keyboard to do something other then their default action.

itunes.exe - Run it manually

symwsc.exe - Unless you know what this is, get rid of it. (might actually be some Norton thing)

Get rid of the following via services.msc

wdfmgr.exe - Some stupid WMP10 crap.

But most of the slow down is probably coming from Norton, personally I would disable it... but that's just me.

SymWSC = Symantec Windows Security Center. Basically it provides support and status to the Windows Security Center. I had mine disabled (both of them) cos I don't like them 'talking' to each other on how my system should be configured, haha... ;)
