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.
I need a program that will close all the non-essential processes and services? Does any know how to do this or a program that will do it? EDIT: Ill rephrase. I only want processes that allow the computer to start and then for me to be able to delete a file that is being used by some unknown process.
My Windows 7 install may be corrupted by something obscure that does not show up in or is not detected by Defender and other software.Is there a no simple way any longer to log processes and look at the names of the binaries and services rather than just watching them come and go in a Window? Or see how long it takes for a corrupted system driver to load? Or if the OS is constantly reloading it because it crashes? Has Windows Pro series become so dumbed down that effective system monitoring and analysis is now almost impossible?I do have Win7 pro so the system monitor and analysis tools should do more than just a "home" install does...but I cannot find any documentation on logging the activities of system processes anywhere.My install of Windows 7 seems to be indexing to drive like a dog with a broken hind leg. I was forced into a WGA check and it seems to me that there is something not quite right going on.I dread having to nuke and re-install because that means setting up all my wifes software and internet passwords, Citrix, office, and the list goes on and on...not to mention hours of updating Windows 7 from service pack one! My problems are most likely not a device on this machine because the machine runs like a dream with Knoppix, (my favorite OS of all time) Slackware or Mint Linux...but with the Windows7 that it was originally designed for it has recently started to run like a dog!
Could my trouble be something as simple as a flaky wifi driver? Strangely the Belkin USB wifi that I use runs like a top with Linux though, so I doubt that it is a hardware issue.The belkin driver is certified for Windows 7 and never acted up in the past.Because in the past I have seen Windows updates murder communication drivers especially with 2000 and XP it is a possibility that a recent critical update messed up the Belkin .inf ndis settings. Anyone else have a recent problem with 7 and Belkin Atheros USB wifi drivers?I will try running without the device and see if Windows gets its mojo back before I do anything drastic like nuke it and either dump windows for good or suffer through another ridiculous Windows cleansing re-install!
I'm trying to sort out issues with my Windows 7 machine and want to disable/set to manual services that I know are not needed, but every time I have done this in the past (a while ago now) I invariably run into an issue where I've inadvertently disabled a service that was needed by something, and I end up scratching my head (as all of my hair falls out around this point) and enabling everything just to sort it..
Is there any utility that anyone is aware of that lets you toggle service status, with the option to reset to default or reset to last status, while showing a list of services that I've changed?
I can't seem to word it properly for a search engine to find relevant results, and find usually specific services and not something I'm hoping exists.
I wish the Services.msc mmc had a checkbox or some sort of flag to show altered services so you could sort them by that, which would help a lot, but it doesn't.
I recently installed new software that requires port 8080 to function. When I try to run the software I get an error that port 8080 is being used.How do I check to see what process is using port 8080 so that I can open up the port to run the software? MACHINE: Windows 7x64

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.
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.
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.
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?

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.
