Why not copy/paste the list of the running progs. into a message to the board, Juanita? That way we can all participate and learn simultaneously. Or better yet, run HJT and post a copy of the log it renders to the list: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html I know it will be much more effective in producing a complete list of all that's running in your box. And yes, that was a great tip from down under Sandy. She's come a long way since she first acquired XP, hasn't she? It seems it was ages ago; that was pre SP1, I think. Hopefully, Dell didn't bundle any Symantec stuff in your new purchase. Just give us the HJT log and we'll see what we can do.
