if anyone could help, i would appreciate it....thanks
 
well all the proccess you listed at the top are all normal proccess I think. doesn't seem like too many either.

I think all the registry keys you listed are normal too just not sure about this one: ALCXMNTR.EXE probably normal too just never seen it before.

why do you suspect that this is a problem have you been having trouble with system performance?
 
no, i dont notice a difference in performance, it just seems like to many compared to my freinds computers that have around 30 running, is there anyway to stop these from running, other than uninstalling stuff thanks
 
well don't go just by what your friends have, it could be they just have less programs or something. If you arn't having any problems than I see no reason to remove them or suspect anything. I have about 42 proccess running myself. Unless your have any problems don't worry about it. ;)
 
wow that , you need to delete some programs and get a new anti virus software which is updated; I have 28 to 32 processors. I had about 40 then gone out and brought internet security, and then reformatted my pc then put it on, now I have 28 to 30 processors running my pc is smooth now, crazy 50 is alot you no
 
ill tell you what skyline try this, get somethings tht you dont need of your pc, if you cant do this put the certain things you need on cd then 4mat your pc then having done this pull your enthernet cable out of your pc then install internet secruity or norton i no you have norton i can c that, when done this install it then when it comes to the key registering bit put your enthernet cable in then it will ask to restart your pc do this then put all your things on your pc from your CD then you should have about, lets say 30-35 pro running i would say anyways try that mate your pc will be smoother then b4 trust i ahve done it b4, i phones my internet provider about having prolems with my ps2 online they told me to switch my pc on i did then we went threw everthing he sorted it out, he said get your TASK MANAGER up so i did then he asked me, how many prosscers have you got running, well i had 40, he said you must do something to prevent that he said it aint goo then he said get internet secruity or any thing like that so i did, then i did what i explained up then page from here and now i have 28-32 running aint that cool o yer and 2%-5% of cpu usage. TRY it mate it will work.
 
well 1st of all the good thing is that yes, you can deside what you want loading up in the start menu....

1st of all let's look at what's loading up at the boot of windows....

click start/run/ type" msconfig" without the quotes, then click startup tab....

in there are all prog. short cuts running at startup.
if you see one's that are not related to the system, example: winamp/media player ect...

these prog.s shoould be unchecked here, you really don't need those running all the time.

Now let's look at the task bar start up....click start , now right underneith the all prog. in a black space on the bar/ right click/ then properties./ general tab.

now click on clear list, now double check ....go back to the desktop...click start/ in the left colum, there should'nt be any short cut there....

if there is just right click it , and unpin from startup

now that that's done let's take a look in the registry to see what is loading up at boot.

open up the registry/ now go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\current
version\run * do an export of the .reg file before you delete it ...just incase* ...

now delete the one's you don't want to load up at startup...

Now let's look at the folder below that one, should be the run once floder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\current version\ run once

this is a totally useless folder...just open up the folder
and delete anthing that is in there....

there your done, that should take care of some processes going on.

:p hope that can help ya !!
 
I still don't see why he should worry about it. He hasn't been having any trouble with system performace or anything, and the proccess he lists seem like an average amount. most of what he listed were registry keys and they seem normal too. That is good info mr. mixx but why do that if there does not seem to be any problems?
