Do you mean get rid of as in 'delete' ?

Or do you just want to end the process so you can clear some system resources?

Firstly, don't stop any WINDOWS/system32 processes.

Secondly, if you're not going online, you can stop the McAfee ones, and the AOL ones, but i wouldn't do that from task manager, i'd do it from McAfee. Just 'tell' it not to run at boot up.

Same as above with media player, Quicktime, Realplayer, MSN messenger, DAEMON tools, Grisoft and the two documents running, one of which is a temporary file (!?!?!).

Where possible go into the .exe shortcuts on your desktop or via 'start' and 'all programs' to stop these processes at boot up.

Also, considering all that, how long has it been since you defragged your hdd and cleared out your temp files?

[Computwiz]

It wont let me defrag my computer :S

[dynax7d]

You using vista or xp?

As i'm still getting to grips with vista myself, i can't help you much re the defrag.

If XP, are you getting an error message? when you say it 'wont let' you.

***Look, for a quick check to see if your problem does infact lie with the amount/type of processess that start at bootup i'd advise when you boot into windows:

-Don't open anything else manually.
-Click 'start'
-Click 'run'
-Type "msconfig"
-Click 'ok'

You'll now see a load of tabs appear: General, SYSTEM.INI, BOOT.INI etc

Stay on the 'General' tab

- Select 'Diagnostic startup'
-Click 'Apply'
-Click 'ok'

Then restart your pc and see if it makes any difference. If it doesnt then just start the above instructions again but when in the 'General' tab select 'Normal startup' and reboot and your system will be back to how it was before running the diagnostic startup.

The fact windows is giving you an error message when you go to defrag is worrying though. Are you sure its an error?
Is it not just saying something along the lines of "Drive C: does not need defragging" ?

[Computwiz]

I'm using XP, yes i am getting an error message when i try to defrag

[Tom]

Which says...?

[dynax7d]

Thanks midi, i didn't dare......

[Computwiz]

you didnt dare to what????????

[dynax7d]

Ask the obvious question. I'd assumed you'd reply with what the error stated when you replied.

Ive put a new response but for some reason (i'm an idiot?) ive added it in my second response to you (above) and not in this box.

Find the ***

So scroll up now and have a read.

[Computwiz]

How can you blame me for not reading something you didnt put there in the first place??

Computwiz

[Tom]

he asked if there was an error message, you said yes. He presumed if there was, you would write what the error message says...



...


What does the error message say...?

You're joking, right?

[Computwiz]

yeh, the error message says "Unable to Defragment C:/ drive"

Computwiz

dynax7d

If you left it to midimoto, then i would have understood what i did, then would have made it right

[dynax7d]

eh!!

I've honestly lost the plot here.......actually, it feels rather good.

Where were we then???

[Tom]

Heh.

[dynax7d]

Hey Midi, just noticed you're in West Yorks, wherabouts?

I'm in sunny and friendly Bradford. (yup, that was typed rather tongue in cheek).

[Tom]

Hahaha Thats a joke. What part of Bradford? I'm in Haworth - Keighley,

[dynax7d]

I'm in Queensbury fella.

Used to ride upto Howarth. Nice.
