I have a fresh install of Vista with updates and a very few programs installed and have 78 current processes running.
The only thing you could look for in your processes that might be causing an issue is to look at the memory column and look for anything that is using a lot of memory (like >100,000k).
my web browser is the only 1 thats close to that and i close it out when i go to install that game... the only thing even close to being that high after the web browser is something running at 30,000 k
ive done that already... firefox is using the most (closed and ended while installing) and the rest are under 5000k except a select few that go no higher than 20000k
