I've recently bought a new laptop with a load of program/process that i'd imagine i would never use.Would anyone be willing to tell me which programs i can uninstal (and what they do, if you could) and which processes to disable. You don't have to recommend what i do for all of them, just the ones you know.
last few day i say at start up my ram already filled up 1.76 GB but earlier it was just 1.10 GB.can u please tell me why the consume rate of ram constantly increase also how to remove unnecessary files from ram.i m using Windows 7 dell 15R
I bought a new Samsung laptop a week ago. I haven't loaded any of my own programs yet, since I want to uninstall all the unnecessary stuff. I don't know which programs are safe to uninstall though, and which ones are necessary... (4GB RAM and 500 GB hard drive, Windows 7 OS).
I am trying to make all my file browsing really organized so that if I ever need to retrieve a file, the process will be as streamlined as possible. However Windows Libraries are making this difficult.When I downloaded the drivers for my computer it adds several files and folders to the "Documents" folder. These will automatically regenerate if I were to delete or move them. This adds clutter to the Folder that I do not want
Shown here:
If I were to remove the folder from the Library and Replace it with a different folder that has all my "real" documents, than the layout changes and now lists data that I don't care about, (Folder Name, Folder Location, Number of Files in Folder, and the path to the empty Public Folder)
Shown here:
Is there any solution? is there a way to get rid of the unnecessary files in the "Documents" library? or can I at least replace the folder with another folder that has all my relevant documents?
hp g62 notebook-lots of free space-windows 7.it seems that every time i open task mgr and go to processes tab there are more items taking up space there.i don't know how to have only the necessary things running.
I've created an application like windows 7 toolkit and i need to restart all the process including explorer.exe(and all its child processes) excluding the application i've created.is there any batch commands or batch file that would restart all the processes running on my laptop except the one I've created.
I'm familiar with the fact that the processor is actually shared among many processes on every OS. That means that every process is actually running a portion of the time on the processor before it is paused and scheduled for later.If that is the case why for example when you play music or video on PC isn't the sound dicontinuous - it should be if it's played just a portion of the time? Or is the period between process switches so small that people don't even notice when it stops and starts again?
My CPU/RAM gadget shows the cpu at about 60%. The task manager performance graph agrees. I look at the processes in task manager, and order by CPU usage, and the top two or three processes are using 2 or 3%! What gives? Why doesn't the processes window show the processes that are using this 60%of cpu? How do I find out what is using the cpu that much?
when i open my task manager i have 79 processes running and im not sure if thats to many or normal? I also dont know how to tel which ones are ok to stop or not? any help?
Below is my HijackThis log file. There are too many apps on the task manager and I am unable to turn them off. When I kill a process, it immediately starts again (SearchIndexer.exe Connectifyd.exe etc., and I noticed that all are running as services). How can this happen? And more importantly is there a remedy[CODE]
obviously you can see that I'm new here and here for a specific reason and this being my reason. So I just noticed that I had 5 explorer.exe processes running before with no windows/browsers open. I could tell my main one apart because it used more memory and the others all had *32 at the end (I'm using an x64 version of Win 7 Home) I ended them and nothing happened, but then I also checked msconfig under the start-up tab and saw.
Sometimes i can browse fine all day and no issues,, some days like today all the sudden pages wont load clicking links doesnt work right or very well unless i close all the browser completley and then afte rthat bring up my task manager and end process on any left over iexplore.exe *32 processes. i run NAV and MalwareBytes and do not have any tool bars or spy ware.... Sometimes i just reset IE9 back to new but still eventually does this again.
what processes or services run on Port 80. I am trying to run XAMPP Apache virtual web server and Apache fails to start because a system process is listening on port 80. Apache needs to run on port 80. I had "thought" i fixed the error when I ended the service "web deployment agent service" (after realizing it runs on port 80), after doing this, apache started up just fine no problems. I restarted my computer, and sure enough, apache wouldn't run again. typing "netstat -aon" in a command prompt, sure enough again, port 80 was occupied by a process with a PID of 4...again. I open task manager, and the process descript is again, NT kernal and system process. I try ending the process form the task manager, and it will not stop.I have double checked services.msc and web deployment agent service is deactivated and not running. because of this i am perplexed as to what additional services would use port 80 just after a re boot.
could tell me why my processes don't always load right away, and when they finally do, everything is slow, especially the internet.If i reboot and everything loads normally, i have no issues, things are great.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium with 4GBs of Ram and an i7 processor. When I start my laptop up, it uses about 1.5 - 1.7 GBs of Ram. Is this normal? And atm I'm running 106 processes (screenshots below) and I'm unsure which ones I can kill. I only know about Nettalk, Firefox, Thunderbird, Dropbox, sparta.exe and screen.exe.
I have cFosSpeed installed and it says that my PC is uploading at 40 kB/s. But I do not know what program is uploading. Is there any software that tells me what processes are uploading and how fast the uploading processes are uploading?
We have installed new computers quad processors with windows 7 (Dont know if 32 or 64 bit)Anyhow, Microsoft 2010 came with these machines and we are having real problems with Outlook. in the Task Manager the process is duplicating maybe 3 or more times and sometimes the process is showing over 300,000kNow when I end the processeses from the task manager two of them will end and always one that will not and says access denied! this is usually the largest process. This is happening on two different machines.
Not sure if I'm using proper terminology here, but sometimes I'll close a program and quikcly open it again and the program will be non-responsive. It usually happens when I close a video player to start a new video, or close a browser to open up a fresh collection of tabs (or just to close it because some of the currently open tabs are being buggy) noticed that when I Control-Alt-Delete, the appliactions list is clean, but the program I was running is still listed under "Processes". And sometimes it takes so long to go away I have to force it closed myself. I'm not sure how normal this is, or if it's a sign of an unhealthy computer
Even when Idle. There's something running in the background and my Dell Vostro Windows 7 Pro is flashing hard drive light like xmas! How do I troubleshoot this and is it all those svchosts?
i've been getting BSOD's on a daily basis while playing , browsing , or just booting up my windows?

Recently when ever I'm playing games or running programs, they suddenly spike up to 100% cpu usage and start lagging very badly.They normally run fine and quite smoothly but then after a while, they suddenly stop working. It usually stops if i leave them alone for some time or if i close the program, but i don't think the application itself has anything to do with it.This happens on many different games and applications alike, but normally only with games, even old ones.I checked my processes and it says i have 61-65 processes running! Isn't this too high? how can i check if those processes are OK? I have HijackThis and can post a log file if needed.
Code: If ProcessA.exe NOT Running? Open ProgramA (Access link file) End If If ProcessB.exe NOT Running? Open ProgramB (Access link file) End If
[code].....
Open ProgramD (Access link file) Obviously I REALLY only need code for 1 IF BLOCK but this is more how it'll look in the end. I'm more or less checking for 3 different processes before I run an application.
SOMETIMES when i startup the computer, all of the processes don't load( I checked the task manager).When the computer starts in this way, it kinda freezes and not much works until the rest of the processes load. ( i need 47 or so to start properly. when i am having trouble, only 37 load). And when they finally do load, Internet is super duper slow. Also not much else is fast at all.But, if at this point i restart the computer, and IF the processes load properly(all 47 or so) I have no issues. The computer is really fast and does as it should.
On 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?
(Windows 7 x64). Browser is IE8, but Firefox & Chrome are also installed.
