yeah. LOL hit control alt delete and look at processes.. theres like 30 of 'em in XP when you aren't even doing anything...
sometimes i feel like ending processes just to see what will happen even tho the warning says it may cause "undesired results and system instability"... heck if my system was working right ? i wouldn't be in there contemplating ending one of those processes
LOL.. Just give Vista a shot.. Sixty running after initial install... All sucking up memory. Most of them schvhost. With XP I could keep it to about thirty or so. You can very easily limit them with ubuntu. And what's more is they all have full descriptions... no guessing.

In the time since that post I downloaded and installed BUM.. boot up manager.. Disabled all the stuff I didn't want like all the laptop setting and a few of the error reporting programs.. Took literally fifteen seconds to open package manager.. search for "boot up manager".. download.. install.. edit boot up programs and quit.

Running OpenSuse 11.0 now. Quite a nice distro. I actually had vista back on a partition for a while. Took three days to catch a whole slew of viruses. After cleaning them off... kind of... everytime I restarted I had windows pop up telling me of all kinds of corrupt or non functioning dll's.
