How can I know what "Treatment" (as listed in Windows Task Manager) are necessary and who should be "done"?

Running Windows XP (home edition)

I recognize some of the process that some I'm not.  Most is listed as 'System' under the name of system, some like the "owner", some as "Network Service", some as "Local Service".  Should I still worry about them?  (I'm hoping to speed things up).  Thank you!

Hello

All running services or displayed in the Task Manager are closely related to each other which will help in the management of programs and application.

You can check the link below: overview of the Task Manager: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/taskman_whats_there_w.mspx?mfr=true

  • How can I determine what my CURRENT profile, because the Profile Manager shows 3 and all the questions and answers are ambiguous on this issue. THX.?

    Yes, I see ambiguity. I have also some old Save profiles of boards and I have 3 profiles showing under the Profile Manager. The folder under "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\" shows 2 of them, but how DO I know WHICH is my current profile? So far, I have been unable to navigate up a clear answer. THX.

    You seem to have created a profile in the Profiles folder and not as you should be in an empty folder.

    You already clicked the button Choose a folder and specified the profiles folder in the profile folder?

    You must always specify an empty folder and new for the profile if you really want to create one profile other than suggest Firefox (you can change the file extension part after the '. ': for example the default user-> my < name >)

    It would be preferable to cleaning the Profiles folder and delete all the files except the file profiles.ini and the default and files 'default user', although you might want to move to another location and start from scratch. If necessary, you can retrieve data from one of the two folders.

    Hello

    This is not an indication of malware. Could be those are placed on the
    computer by the manufacturer of the system and that was the date that firstly, they prepared their
    for massive installation, or if they did not set a date and be used arbitrarily.

    =============================================================

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

  • How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer?

    Original title: completely clueless

    I'm totally clueless when it comes to computers, but I try very hard to learn. I am using the help section a LOT, but I can't seem to find an answer to the only thing that makes me crazy. How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer? I have a very basic net accountant I learn on before I screw up a portable more expensive and I do a cleaning on my C and D drives to improve performance because it runs so slow but it tells me I have the drivers who slow down Windows. I would greatky appreciate any assistance from someone who has the patience of a saint and is willing to take the time to explain it to me, in terms laymans. Thanks in advance

    Drivers: you should know what you bought (in your machine) and what * you * want out of it.  If you want stability and things work properly - let alone the drivers.  If you want more performance check (and other games) in the drivers of motherboard chipset and video network from the manufacturers Web site... For more stability stick with the OEM website (HP, Dell, Lenovo - the assembler of the whole machine) and slightly more performance/push the limits (even if they want to work too - so still some stability) - access to websites of its components manufacturer.

    With regard to the programs: you can decide what you use and do not use.  If you are not sure, look it up (Google) or ask.

  • Is it possible to change sequence settings after you start a project? Also, how can I know what sequence of parameters are best for clips that I have?

    Is it possible to change sequence settings after you start a project? Also, how can I know what sequence of parameters are best for clips that I have?
    The clips I have are HD and .mp3. MTS files.

    In the latest version of Premiere Pro, it is possible to change the settings for the sequence.

    You know what settings are best knowing what you are doing.  (Personally I'm fan of formal education for this.)  I know that sounds sarcastic, but, there is no right answer to the question whose parameters are the best.  There are many variables here, then... you really need to know what you're doing.

  • How can I know what Adobe programs I need on my computer?

    My Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing. I just downloaded Flash Player Plugin from 14 and noticed that I have 5 other Adobe programs on my computer. How can I know which ones I need to keep? Those I have is:

             Acrobat.com installed 7/03/2010;
             Flash Player 13 Active X installed 5/14/2014;

             Shockwave Player 12.0 installed 9/16/2013.
    

    Given that you list the plugins installed below, any information about those do not necessary would be useful.

    You don't need everything! But if you don't there is the 'stuff' you won't be able to do on the internet or read when you download a file that needs an Adobe program or plugin.

    Flash Player 13 Active X installed 14/05/2014; = is for Internet Explorer

    Acrobat.com installed on 03/07/2010; and Reader X (10.1.10) installed on 19/05/2014; You can display the same type of files - PDF - except the old plugin for Acrobat don't is not "seen" by Firefox, maybe an IE-only to Acrobat version?

  • How can I know what that found Windows memory diagnostic?

    There is a small box that says.

    "your computer has a memory problem" "memory problems can cause the computer lose information or stop working." To identify and fix the problem contact the manufacturer of the computer "."

    Y at - it somewhere I can look and see what she got?

    I had all kinds of problems such as, blue screen memory dump, google chrome aw snap crash a lot, I was playing a game and it crashed to the desktop, so I couldn't run all the programs with reformulating them the computer, the computer no longer meets the Middle Windows up to date.

    When these problems started I thought ok I have this Windows 7-64 bit running for 3 years so I have re installed every thing and the same thing happened, I did it again but this time I used my XP disk to do the long format, it took 6 hours to do the 2 to hard drive if there are viruses that should have killed them and the reader should be as close to new as I can get it, but I still have the same problems.

    I ran scan disk, no problem, right now my CPU usage is 6%, RAM is 1.78 GB used out of 8 GB on the Task Manager.

    My computer performance scores are

    Processor 7.2

    7.4 RAM memory

    Chart 7.4

    7.4 games graphics

    Hard disk 5.9

    It says I have a memory problem, but I've never seen more than about 2.8 GB of RAM being used I think that my motherboard is wrong something to do with the LAN of the jury party because all the problems seem to have something to do with the internet, but I would like to know what she has in case it's the hard drive and not the Mo before as I have spend a lot of money on the bad parts.

    I have try ed out the RAM and put back in, run the test, but did not so bad yet lucky, so I took the RAM on another PC and TA-DA! She has passed the test and everything works now no more of accidents.

    It would have been nice if she was 'Diagnostic memory Windows (RAM)' instead of memory diagnostic Windows user so first like me knows just what memory it is testing, I found by chance and didn't know what it was.

    So if your browser blocks a lot especially google chrome "AW snap" crash and accident of programs on desktop to run this tool, it could be your RAM.

    I hope this may help others.
