Two Desktops Running At Same Time / Background Programs Running
Jan 29, 2012As I shutdown/restart my laptop, I notice it switches to a secondary desktop that has been running programs.A good example would be trying to open my Task Manager, I can Ctrl-Alt-Del and it will allow me to open Task Manager - however when I click on Task Manager, it opens on the Desktop running in the background. I can't even access the Desktop in the background, it only shows up as I'm shutting down - closing programs that I tried opening awhile ago.

Jun 25, 2012So coming here was sort of a last resort, I've been scouring the internet for information but I've failed to no avail.My problem is that the Sims 3 Launcher and game is running in the background is what I've gathering from bits and pieces of information I've picked up the past two hours. I've checked the task manager and in the Processes tab it shows it running, or processing, I just cannot see it or access it no matter what I try. I'm getting no error code, nothing out of the ordinary. I've already tried bypassing the launcher and the game seems to be running in the background too.how actually stop a program from running in the background if possible, it just happened to a game, sorry for any inconvenience.

Jul 3, 2012recently (past couple of months) my laptop seems to have something constantly running in the background [you can hear it �clicking away� pretty much all the time] & it seems to be running at least 60% slower than normal - at times my typing is faster than it seems to be able to cope with [ie: when typing an email] and I'm not thaat fast - are there any obvious/likely culprits? Presumably it could be that something is taking up a lot of capacity in the background?

Jul 31, 2012On a fresh boot, after my desktop loads but before I launch any browsing/email/internet applications, I notice I have two or three instances of iexplore.exe running in the list of active processes. Does this seem "normal" for Windows 7, or should I be concerned that iexplore.exe is running even when I have not launched IE?

Nov 3, 2012I'm having trouble with several games opening their pre-game menus properly but then disappearing. They are running in the background but can only be seen in task manager and do not appear on the task bar. I have had this problem with multiple different games from different publishers so I'm assuming it is an error on my end. The games I have tried are Starcraft 2, Half-life, and a multitude of Steam games. I have a self-built computer running Windows 7. I'll list specs below

View 2 Replies View RelatedNormal Background Program Behavior
Oct 19, 2009Just a quick question, since I'm still adjusting to Win 7 Professional (even after a few months). Is it normal for some programs to launch quietly, do something, and then quickly close? I usually have Process Explorer open so I can monitor all running applications at all times, and this evening while my machine was idle, I noticed three programs pop up as daughter processes to services.exe. One of them was dllhost, but the other two I couldn't get a good look at. I'm pretty sure it was NOT the defrag, because that runs daughter to scvhost.exe
Anyhow, I'm just wondering, is there a list anywhere of what tasks launch themselves, what to look out for? MBAM and ESET's NOD32 say my system is clean, but programs running themselves without approval always makes me jittery.
Program Setups Opening In Background
Nov 15, 2009Something that has been bugging me, is that when installing a program, the setup wizards and their subwindows open in the background, rather than on top as is normal. Being absent minded, I will sit and wait for several seconds, until I get impatient and look at the taskbar to see new tabs, which I must select to bring the setup on top. How can I set the OS to always bring these on top by default?

May 26, 2009Any ideas on how to tweak the color of the menu background of Windows 7 applications?
To be specific - as I'm not sure of the correct name - I'm talking about the pale blue color which appears behind "File Edit View History " on Firefox (and other programs), below the title header. It is used as the unselected tab background too.
I don't like it!
I want this color to appear uniformly Grey, as in XP, and without the light slim horizontal embellishment cutting through the words.

View 4 Replies View RelatedProgram Is Running Very Slow
Nov 25, 2012This program has been running for 12 hours without interruption, and it is still chunking away but slower. That is it seems to pause 5-10 seconds before flashing up the next file. I don't think my data is unusually large at just over 1 million files, and my hard drives total 2,946 GB with each well under 50% used capacity. All other programs can run smoothly and Windows Task Manager Shows no program is stuck. But if I need to wait for 1+ million files to be examined at 5 seconds each, it won't be done in my lifetime! What do I need to do differently?

Jul 2, 2010Using Windows 7 Professional 32-bit We haven't changed any hardware or BOIS lately. About a week ago, Windows Update would start to hang when down loading &/or installing an update. After this happened trying to shutdown would cause one of two things - Very long Installing Update followed by Reconfiguring Windows and it hanging or Windows is Shutting Down and then hanging.After that, the only way windows would shutdown normally is by first going into safe-mode and doing a shutdown.Using the Troubleshoot Computer Problems-Systems and Security-Fix Problems with Windows Update selection offered in the Control Panel results in An Error occurred while Troubleshooting.On another note, while trying to add Windows games(such as solitaire) from the control panel "Programs and Features" by clicking on the "Turn Windows Features on or off" results in a Windows Features Box which displays "Please Wait", and it hangs.I've tried any number of solutions for the Windows Update problem(Fix It, etc) to no avail and I'm starting to think that its a bigger problem. Also, I've scanned the computer with Microsoft Security Essentials.

It uses harddisk like crazy, and I also hear the CPU fan working faster.I used "Process Explorer" to detect this program. I see a "svchost.exe" terminating in the last second as soon as I turn the monitor on by a mouse move or keyboard input. Unfortunately I am not able to see the parent process because it terminates immediately when the monitor turns on.
