The minimum processes that XP needs to run depends on how you configured your computer. You can experiment by trying to close Processes, but if XP or other applications depend on it to run, XP won't allow you to close it (I think) . Rebooting should resolve any problem caused by killing a task in taskmanager (I think).

Proceed at You Own Risk. I don't think it's a good idea to do this.

I'm referring to processes you can't identify. If you know what something is, then use your own judgement.

hmm, ok i guess.

i will try to end each process indvidual and see if XP NEEDS IT.

but if somebody knows wether or not i should keep these oen, please stop me before i mess anything up lol..

and please keep replying with messages if you know which processes i need open!!

thanks everyone for your support
