Mine looks the same, but 542m/1244m 61 processes
Been slowing down quite a bit.
Trouble shutting down - and 5 instances of the Blue Screen of Death this week.
Cleaned Hard drive - defragged - run spybot and adaware all the time too.

I don't think it was a riddle, I think he was looking for help.


Just had my 6th Blue Screen of Death this week myself.

I got my 7th and 8th BSOD today (within a half hour of each other). :swearin:

None of this was happening until I got my iPod and iTunes. It's the only thing I've added recently.

Can't blame it on the itunes, it has to be something else, I've been using it for a while and no problems.

Not sure about that. There's a lot of trouble with the latest updates for it. I have 2 friends fighting their iTunes right now (1 PC the other Mac). Both are missing Library file files - both iPods not responding.

But when I run Dell Crash Analysis I get a result concerning a tfsnifs.sys file - I'm not sure what driver it's for. Googled the file and multiple driver possibilities came up. With the possibility it's malware.
Not sure what to do about it.

When using iTunes should you only be on iTunes? No browser windows open or other programs running?
My task manager is saying with Firefox open and iTunes running I'm at:
CPU Usage - 50%
PF Usage - 761 MB
Processes: 61
Commit Charge: 760M / 1244M

Running XP

I know that there's too many things running, but I don't know what I need and what I don't.

 

[VinDali]

Just found ProcessLibrary.com to help figure out what I want and don't want at start up.

Is Windows Desktop Search Necessary at startup?
This thing never wants to let Windows shut down.
