How Many Processes Are You Running?

I'm running a whooping 81 right now! Definitely not proud of this!

 

53 processes running happily atm

 

62 and all im doing is surfing rofl

 

I'm at 56. Vista Home Premium 32 bit

 

80 damn vista

 

48.

.......​

 

80 fresh install tho but i think i hit 94 on that install
never really cared about them

 

29.

I 80s normal for Vista? I'm on XP.

 

*chokes* WTF..?!?!
80 in XP, I guess you'll be better off with a clean install.

 

I have 58 running right now. Besides all the other stuff (I think my printer accounts for a few, with CFP w/D+ (2), Avira (2), SAS, A2 (2), FF, Thunderbird, Seagate DiscWizard (3) and Task Manager running. With 2GB of RAM, I'm not worried about it!

 

Does it really matter if we know your (blocked out) computer name? It almost reminds me of when people blocked out their routers IP, the same one nearly everyone else has. It's not like you're giving away your debit card and pin numbers.

 

I have 63 running on Vista, but on my XP desktop only 32.

 

26 in xp home(inclusing surfing, viewing a pdf, microsoft word document open, and task manager itself)

 

63, but I am doing a ton of stuff - pidgin, firefox, notepad, several instances of calc

 

*cough*120*cough*
...Yeah I know that's a lot.

 

Vista Home Premium/SP1 shows 48 processes (with show proccesses from all users checked) with ZoneAlarm, RocketDock, PerfectDisk, Firefox, WMDC, and TaskMgr started.

 

28 Atm......

 

My server, running Windows XP Professional, has 19 processes >: )

 

That's ridiculous, but ur specs look darn good so I guess it handles them w/ out even u noticing any lag or slowness!

 

just hiding my identity meybe if you did bad things on the internet and hang out on the wrong sites
MEYBE just meybe you would hide stuff liek that

 

Maybe you should instead utilize the anonymity of the internet and use a different handle when you go to "the wrong sites" than that you use when you go to "the right sites."

 

Got a list of them all handy?

EDIT: On hiding the account username - perhaps it's just something embarrassing, as opposed to something security-oriented? Perhaps it's not the poster's computer (nothing nefarious, mom or dad, perhaps)? Just speculating here, so don't take umbrage.

But I need a new computer or at least more RAM because most of my apps are getting too bloated for a 2.66GHz Pentium 4 and 512MB of RAM.

 

I'm running the same set up! i.e; 2.66GHz Pentium 4 and 512MB of RAM

 

I've got 94 running right now.

 

yeah its 86 now on XP Pro. Here they are: anyone want to check each of those on process lib?






and this isn't on my workstation in sig, its on a laptop.

 

22 (XP Sp3)

 

The no. of processes depends upon the software, programs, etc you have installed and running at that point of time. (The system does not seem to be infected)
Checkout the loads of software you have installed in the 1st image and the 2nd image has all the services related to the software, that normally startup automatically when the OS starts, and are required for the proper functioning of the OS. Disabling services could cripple XP.
If you want to get rid of the extra software, remove/uninstall them with CCleaner or Revo Uninstaller. Else live with it.

 

55 on Vista Home premium with AVG, ZoneAlarm & IE7 running......

 

44, msconfiged that down (Windows XP Media Centre)

 

Guys,

I am running with install clean Vista 64 SP1 DVD, tweaks stuff.

I say this Vista 64 with 4GB ram rocks with around 40 to 45 processes.

BTW, my old desktop pc with XP Pro SP3 running around 20.

63-65 on Vista Ultimate w/SP1.......

 

I still think it's funny. So what if my (computer) name is "Ralph".

 

24 in XP, down from between 35-40+ in Vista.

 

i have 16 at the moment, but several are personal: opera, foobar2000, miranda, task manager. i'm running a heavily nlited xp sp3.

 

OK, besides quicker start up times, what's the big deal in having fewer processes running if you have enough RAM, which most certainly nearly everyone here has.

 

i like a clean system. i'd rather not run processes i don't need. just like i might have space on my floor for additional pieces of paper, if they serve no purpose, i'd rather not have them there.

 

I limit what runs, and what is installed, on my PC simply because I do not want anything unneccessary that I do not use out there. Those are simply openings for problems to come in the way I see them.

 

Out there, where? If you mean the internet what's the purpose of having a router, firewall, AV and spyware, which certainly ups the number of processes.

I'd like to see what dreamz has running with opera, foobar2000, miranda, task manager running. That would leave 12 at start up.

 

On my PC. I simply do not install programs I do not use and I do not allow programs I cannot uninstall, but do not want to use, to run, and those I cannot disallow from running, but I do not want to be capable of accessing the internet, I block.

 

here's a screenshot of my task manager. note that in my nlited cd, i removed a lot of services, and i disabled most of those that i didn't remove.

Now playing: StarCraft 2 Main Theme
via FoxyTunes

 

That's pretty amazing. Love the theme!

 

Computers from 2003 high-five!

 

i'm really happy with my setup. i've removed as much as i could without affecting functionality.

and i'm glad you like my visual style. it took me a while to create. as you can see, i want everything to be minimal, including the appearance of my system.

 

which processes are safe to remove? i noticed yours dreamz and would like to remove as many as i can without something going wrong..
suggestions?

 

here are mine..

 

any suggestions on which ones i can end?
