Hi, as a relative new comer to Win 2K, I have a question regarding processes. Is 45 running a lot? Is there an easy way to tell what they all are? The more cryptic ones? I am trying to determine what is causing a general slow down of my system, i.e. using shift to select a group of mails in Outlook can take a long time to highlight. That is just one example. I am wondering if my video card is maybe a bit long in the tooth. Real 3D agp, 8MB. Rest of the system, PIII 600 256 PC100 RAM 2940UW controller with 3-UW SCSI drives Plextor 40x SCSI CD-ROM 2906 controller with Plextor SCSI 12-10-32 ZIP 100 HP4C 0-IDE devices Any suggestions as to how I can pinpoint what is causing a general system slow down? Using drivers from Adaptec for controllers. I keep getting an error in the Event viewer, System Log, Error source aic78xx, "the driver detected a controller error on \device\scsi\aic78xx2", which I realize is one of the controllers, and the error shows as ID 11 defined as: Event Message: The hardware resources for name are already in use by another device. Source Event Log Event ID Event Type serial System 11 Error Explanation: An interrupt or port address that the indicated hardware needs to use is already in use by another device (probably by the network). User Action: Use Ports from Control Panel to assign a different interrupt or port address to this device. Use Event Viewer to look for other messages that might provide more information about the problem. I have no conflicts in device manager. Any ideas as how I go about correcting this?
