jhonne: thnks for all the info on this. Great write-up on Task Manager! It appears I have 66 running processes with no applications open. My total memory is 764Mb. 360Mb of that is used before I open anything (!) Longmon.exe uses but 0.6% of that. tmpbxy sucks up 35% - whatever the hell that is. The next biggy is svhost that weights in at 10%. Then IEXPLORE.EXE 7.6%; QCTRAY 3.6% followed by QCWLICON 3.35%. The remaining processes average about 2% each.
If I open IE (explorer.exe) it uses 7.2%. MSWord takes 1.26%. Don't know what all this means but it sure looks like logmon plays a minor roll in my notebook. If I deactivate all startup stuff (via msconfig) the time to boot remains the same - far too long. My Notebook was superfast, now is much slower. IBM software helper stuff has proven completely useless at troubleshooting the reason so far, this despite the fact the machine seems to be stuffed with IBM processes.
Pulling the Belkin wireless card makes no difference to execution speed.
I've been cleared by the super-techs on this website for malware and viruses. They did not find anything untoward.
I'm at a loss to understand why there is not some MS-standardized routine one could run that would check speed of operation against a standard- ridofit
