My grandson opened multiple applications and now I have 60 processes running with 2 additional ones popping in and out (rundll32.exe). Have restarted omputer, eliminated some programs from start up. Closed all visibly open applications. When i have other applications open, i.e. Internet Explorer, the hourglass pops on and off and the cursor flashes off and on. This is affecting efficiency of operation. Not sure which processes are okay to end...1 person needs an answerI do too

See if this helps you figure out what's starting up etchttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/Autoruns.mspx TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2010 - Update Services
