Determine what programs are running?
I am using MS Millennium Edition operating system.
I have an unknown program accessing my hard disk. This takes up my valuable memory and slows down my system. How can I display a list that shows all programs running? In advance, THANKS for the HELP! |
Determine what programs are running?
May I suggest you download yourself a process viewer that will not only tell
you which processes are running at any instant as well tell you which processes are using cpu cycles at any instance together with their accumulated usage over time. Knowing the process involved should then make solving your problem somewhat simpler. I suspect you may find the mystery process accessing your hard disk to be either Win Me's state manager (stmgr.exe) or winmgmt.exe. Suitable viewers include the old but still functional WinTop (part of the equally old Win95 Powertools available from http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/d...oy/Default.asp) through TaskInfo 2003, unfortunately no longer free, (www.iarsn.com) to SysInternals Process Explorer (www.sysinternals.com where you will also find many other useful tools and utilities). -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Bob Burkett wrote: I am using MS Millennium Edition operating system.
