Task Manger Enable I/O Write Bytes - Programs Constantly Changing
Jun 26, 2005
I don't know much about computers but I seem to be having a lot of disc activity since changing my hard drive and reinstalling windows xp. I've been to windows task manager & have enabled I/O Read Bytes & I/O Write bytes. When I'm doing nothing the following 3 programs are constantly changing. I've been online for about 3 hours now & these are the approximate figures:
ashserve.exe (Avast antivirus): read: 4,700,000,000 write: 3,700,000
svhost.exe: read: 705,000,000 write: 718,000,000
lsass.exe: read: 1,010,000 write: 540,000
Today is the 1st time my firewall reporeted that lsass requested internet access though this disc activity has been noticable since doing the reinstall.

new computer last month and we have not experienced any problems with it until yesterday. I had to use the ctrl+alt+del function for some reason, but when I entered those keys, a message came up that said "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator." Ctrl+alt+del has worked previously, as recent as the day before. But for some reason it will not open up. No one in my family messed with the computer controls, at least not purposely. I called the Tech Support for HP, the maker of our computer, and they could not figure out the problem. Their only suggestion was to do a full system restore. I imagine there has got to be a way to fix this.System: Microsoft XP Home Edition. Service Pack 2 Make: Hewlett-Packard Pavilion

My computer seems to be slowing down and hanging up every so often. When I start XP I go into task manager and see bunches of programs runnings. A lot of *.exe files. How do I get rid of them?? How do I know which ones to get rid of? They may be virous, extra junk form previous installs? I do run Nortons anti-virous program. I don't want to reformat and reinstall XP but I may need to.

I downloaded a bunch of spyware by mistake this morning from a link my friend gave to me, he was unaware as well. I was able to get rid of the majority of it, but there are a few things in my registry i am unable to delete, i used spy bot to get rid of most of the spy ware but for some reason it is not detecting the rest, also ad aware detects it but is unable to remove it since it is running in the background, i am unable to find the processs from task manager and end it so i cant delete it from the registry manually. What it is doing is bascially spamming pop ups on my pc every so often, here are the suspected names of the infections : mpise.dll , h22o0cf3ef2.dll , h62o0gf3e62.dll.

I have a major problem. When I regularly start Windows XP home edition. It seems to run just fine, yet the mouse is at an hourglass for a good amount of time.Then, All the icons disappear, Start Menu goes away, Cannot open task manger or run anything. Computer then stalls with DLL.exe and svchost error messages.I ran a spybot scan and adaware. Only coming up with Jupilites and Smitfraud-C.Both have been cleaned.If I can find a way to transfer my HJT file from my laptop to the computer I am currently using, will posted as soon as possible.

it has locked me out from changing it. Initially, I was unable to access my task manager screen until I ran Windows onecare scan. it cleared up the virus but I still cannot get into my regedit (it states registry editing has been blocked by your adminstrator). My background change occurred as a part of this virus....

I have a HP Compaq Laptop 8510p.Since about 3 weeks, is an "exe" shown, which changes its name, after every start of the pc. This time its named XU8FE.exe, last time QBN4C.exe...and so on. A system scan for that files gets no results. Even in the registry is not such a file..The file is shown as a system process in the task manager.
Can anybody tell me, what kind of "exe" that is, and how to remove the causer of that file. I killed that process already (with admin rights possible) ..and there was no disturb during working with the pc.

Reinstalled Windows XP and the task scheduler looks alright. Then I copied the task from the previous system directly into the C:WindowsTasks. Now all my task is missing the front two tabs. I should normally have 4 tabs (Task, Schedule, Settings and Security). Now I only have 2 tabs (Settings and Security). What can I do to enable the front two tabs again? Even newly created tabs have only the two tabs. The newly created task would still run, but I cannot update them anymore.

I'm running XP Pro, I have the admin account - I'd like to know is there any way of changing the startup programs for limited users? I have a program I want to run at startup in my admin account, but I don't want it to start for any limited users when they login.I tried going into the limited account and running msconfig, but obviously this is disabled in limited accounts so no joy there.

I've been playingwith various flavors of Linux and using the QTPArted cd to resize partitions. Until recently, there have been no problems doing this. but within the last few days, I suddenly have an E: and F: that are of the type RAW and are 0-bytes in size. These two don't show in the Windows Disk Defragmenter or in the QTParted partitioner.
I presently have only Windows and no Linux installations. but they are taking up space as far as the allocation for the drive letters is concerned. Here are the drives that show normally:C: - my Windows partition D: - my CD drive In Windows Explorer, the two above show up..but I also have these E: and F:drives. I've looked through the Registry and don't see anything there

I run Wndows XP home and have been trying to delete the folder Winamp/Plugins/Milkdrop
Looking under 'properties' it says there are 0 bytes, 0 files, 0 folders. But when I hit delete on the Milk Drop folder I get a message saying the "Directory is not empty". I've uninstalled, reinstalled and uninstalled Winamp to no effect. The main problem is that it prevents Norton Systemworks running properly. It gets stuck when doing the system (registry) checks and when running Windoctor Wizard it stops as soon as it reaches the MilkDrop folder.

Since there are 8 bits to a byte there can be a major misunderstanding with abbreviations. Are there standard abbreviations for bits and bytes? I always assumed bits was small b and bytes was capital B. Is this true? 100 MB - mega bytes. 100 mb - mega bits.Is a 56k modem 56k bytes or bits per second?Can I assume everything is bytes unless bits is specifically stated?

Searched web and only find answers related to single programs, yet ALOT of my programs are not responding. At one point I could not get Task Manager to come up to end non-responding program.

Every time I re-boot I get different programs automatically started and placed on the task bar (Lower right on the screen). Certain programs always start, others start at different times - very confusing. Changing the start up table doesn't seem to affect the situation.

I am using XP on my PC at home and am having a problem with keeping open programs available on my task bar. I can open a website ok but if I need to open a second website the first one no longer appears accessible on the task bar. The only way I can get back to website #1 is by using the back arrow. Also if I close the second website the first one closes at the same time. I frequently need to go between two or more websites when working online and not having the link available is inconvenient at best. How can I set my computer so that all open websites will appear on the taskbar?

I am trying to write a batch file that would make a specific program a default over Windows Picture and Fax viewer.Reading on other forums, I've input the following into Notepad:ftype jpegfile="C:Program FilesNeroNero 7Nero PhotoSnapPhotoSnap.exe" "%1" When I right-click on any .jpg file after that, under properties, I see that Nero PhotoSnap is now the default program, but when I open the file it opens in Windows Picture and Fax viewer still.What am I doing wrong? Do I need to add registry changes to complete this process?

After burning CDs for some time with success, both video and music, I'm getting "Writing Errors" when trying the same thing lately, ruining the CD. Here's what I've done so far:Changed the brand of CD from Phillips to Maxell got "write errors" Went from Roxio Easy CD and DVD Creator to Windows Media Player same problem.Tried to contact Roxio tech support.they make it almost impossible, no results Tried to contact Sony (software for the Roxio).they gave me a phone number that ended up being the Hilton Hotel! Then, when I called back, Sony was closed.Went to my "old" Compaq computer running Win98SE, and can burn Roxio CDs successfully, but the system is too slow for video.Hope this is enough info for you expert-type people - I'm trying to avoid system restore.

I recently bought a refurbished Dell OptiPlex GX620 computer that came supplied with XP Pro S2 and S3 installed, a DVD/CD RW device and a floppy drive installed. I installed a Nero 6 program that I used with my old Win 98SE system and was able to copy files and folders from my old computer to be transferred to the new one. Yesterday (4/2/10) I tried to play a DVD and nothing happened. I chose to run E: and saw the various chapters available on the DVD but when I went into Media Player 11, it told me that it could not play the DVD. I tried another DVD but got the same notice. The notice window suggested that I move my video resolution down to 640Xxxx and lower my colors down to 16 bit from 32 bit. I also tried that but no joy. Can anyone suggest what might be happening here? I have a 3.6 Gig processor in this rig so I don't think it's a speed problem.
